Earl of Cartoon Chics

I was never fully into cartoon and comics, but since I started to be a huge retro fan, I discovered vintage illustrations and adore them. Mostly fashion illustration of course, but some funny female cartoons also. Doesn't matter that most of them present beautiful but stupid and slutty women. It's just a convention and a sign of times, I guess. But illustration themselves are just chic and fabulous. One of my favourite artist is Earl Oliver Hurst who created mostly for Colliers Magasin. Pictures are all about sparkling America style.

Lily Potter type

I'm a redhead. And I have to admit that I'm mad about redheads. I think we are special and amazing! : D

I always look at redheads passing the city and admire the well-dressed ginger girls. Of course there are some types of us I am distanced to - for example the fake redheads, or the "naughty ones". But in my mind one specific ginger type is well rooted. I have never described it with details, even for myself, but I think you can call it "Lily Potter type". I don't mean she has to be a witch, no. It's hard to describe her really, but when I see that type I know it's her. And she's my ideal - I wanna be just like that, but probably I'm not.  So - who is she, apart from resembling HP's mom? She has to have bright eyes and wonderful smile, she's delicate and sensitive, but  at the same time strong in some ways, probably an artist, or the art or music admirer. Mild, or can be charismatic. A good person, who loves her friends and they love her. With a great sense of humour. A woman, who you cannot ever forget and miss her madly when she's gone. Unique among the exceptional ones. I cannot find the more proper word for her except: special. 

I don't know if that features are always the right ones, but some women just look like being THAT KIND OF REDHEAD.

This shoes are made for walking

The weather is quite unfavorable recently. There is foggy and darkness comes quicker every day. All is somehow grey and cold. So it's not surprising that we walk with our heads down, dodging between puddles and mud, with our chins and noses hidden in scarves and jackets. But why not, while looking down on our shoes,  walking fast, imagine that we have something colorful on. On our legs and feet...

Beach warms you...

I discovered today that sea can be inspiring. And it's treasures may make you feel better. I know, maybe it's obvious, but I have never really liked seashore. I thought it is boring and crowded and much too popular. All these shells and stones - so many of them in local shops during every summertime. But today I was working, cataloging some books and suddenly one cover have caught my eye. It was a sea-themed book by a  writer of popular novels (well I've never before heard her name, but everyone knows the film "Chocolate"...). The cover was simple, but I thought I might want to read that book. I suddenly felt the need to be near the sea, even only by the novel's plot - well, even better - no people, no cold wind or annoying sand in the shoes... 

And now, while I'm looking at some blogs and I saw a simple but beautiful picture of some glass pieces on the sand. So simple! But this view makes me feel calm. I surfed the net looking for some more examples of sea treasures - they all are very simple, even the most delicate shells. Sometimes it's even kind of rubbish. But they create a wonderful compositions together, inspire art and decoration and bring warm thoughts. 

And the book:

And what's more:

Bags, sweaters and a redhead

Some fashion and look stuff today - no idea why so suddenly. Blogging about such things is quite not my style. But changes are needed. The viewing myself from different perspective, not closing on how I imagine myself - it's needed.
