If I ever...

If I ever got married... I won't probably, but it's nice for a girl to have a bride's gown on her mind, isn't it?

Holy ghosts and geishas

Alex Winston's voice is catchy and iritaiting at the same time. It remids me of the 80ties, infant girlish folk singers and geishas. I'm not sure about my opinion about her songs - they have a nice tune and quite fine lyrics, they' re great for a category "listening without obligation". Yay, not a bad idea - sometimes I'm not feeling comfortable with some kind of artists because I cannot tell if I admire them or not. So the category LISTENING WITHOUT OBLIGATION is a perfect solution. Don't talk, just listen. But I would not be myself if I don't comment - so, Alex... Alex is pretty, and she's got a style. And the video for Choice Notes is fine, too. Some various shots from suburbs make a sensual story of a place and thoughts.

52weeksproject

Your private botanical calendar. If you ever had a problem with a place for all those little blooms, leafs, flowers you collected for memories - there's a great solution. Mark them and describe - what kind of plant is it, where didi you find it and what special was in that moment. 

I've begun my jar already. Hope I would have enough determination to fill it during the whole year!

I'm not really in "in love" mood, but those two pictures next to each other make me feel like asking questions about the existence of love again.

ART MEETS FASHION - W MAGAZINE

don't forget she's the one of That Type of Redhead

Please, do it again...

Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day... - that's by Biggest Three. But from last months I'm truely enchanted with Julie London's voice. For me, she's perfect, but not my beauty type at all! But the voice... So mature, so feasty, so catchy, so feminine. Just the brightest star on the map of jazz. Sailing, swinging, sweetest, rosy, cosy...

Casual - it means don't care.

Let's face it - us casual, modern world's girls don't have many occasions to wear fantastic, ballroom or disco dresses, stunning high heels, great hairdos and spectacular makeups. We don't have either time to turn everyday to chique downtown woman, who looks fanastic going to work, hurrying in the crowd or buying milk. We want to look like those models or bloggers, who pay so much attention on how they look in every moment of life. But, come on, it's impossible. And we are not that stupid to think that apperance is the most important thing in the world. But there is a chance to feel good and stylish wearing casual and simple things. I put on an old sweater and jeans today, while pinning my hair with a headband just because I was preparing breakfast. Then I looked at myself in the mirror and thought about all that casual retro women from seventies - with simple jumpers on and leggins. They looked great, we love to look at them on tv or tumblr. But what did they do to look like that? Almost nothing! Their decade made them look so fine to us. So dear ladies, don't bother too much - wear what makes you feel comfortable and accept yourself looking like YOU. Maybe one day some future blogger would look at your photos and think about you as an inspiration.

While looking for examples of casual 60.-70.ties style I found a beautiful rarity - the model Charlotte Martin's photo session titled "Countryside"
