Face of Mamie

I got lost in that photo. It's not so easy for me to find a spirit in old photos. With all the imagination, it's rarely a success to "feel" those people from their portraits. But not this time. Lady Eisenhower is so real for me.

We like Ike. Oh yes we do.

Back to bag

Long time no fashion, so it's a moment for it!

As I mentioned some time ago, being 22 and changing rapidly is making a woman out of me. Which means a gradual STOP for any fashion and beauty choices that do not really fit me. For example, today, I said goodbye to all the nail laquers in shades that totally stands out from my beauty type (yeah, mamma was telling me that for ages... but you have to experience everything by yourself, right?). So bye bye to a strange pinky-orange and aggressive green...
Making my own money and suffering from lack of it too quickly each month, made me think also about spending funds wisely, on things that are good quality and fits me perfectly. I tended to buy lots of cheap stuff, which I was throwing out after one use or one wear. No more of that.

Today I ran into and old issue of Frankie Magazine and found a lovely item that perfectly answers my need to buy good and beautiful things. Unfortunately, the brand is closed by now, but I think I will post about it anyway, with hope that they will soon make something creative again.

Why it would be better to live in 19th century?

why it would be better to live in 19th century?



 In 19th century lots of women, who were not rich, couldn't afford a proper mirror to

a) judge themselves in comparision to other women they known
b) focus so much on improving their appearance

It is all in our minds.



Tell yourself you are beautiful and you will be. 
It's that f...ing simple.

Miss Bohemienne

Another woman who caught my eye by accident and stayed in personal collection of insipration.
Bohemian inspiration this time (the closest to my heart).

Sarah Sophie Flicker is a mother, wife, performer, director and lover of all things magical, thoughtful, old-timey, vulnerable, aerial, over-the-top, silly and especially honest. 








"I'm having a turban moment. My husband is horrified." <P> Vintage skirt, belt, top, turban, and earrings.

I wish I could meet her and get to her world. I would feel safe with her, I think.

Bryce is so nice.

I think I have to change my blog description, because as far as I remember, most of the posts are about women I admire.

That Type of Readhead
This Kind of Brunette
Muses
Actresses
Divas

I capture their style, their smile, their look or single photo.
Until today I must have totally forgotten that Bryce Dallas Howard's place is here with no doubt!

She is incredibly beatiful and has "that thing" that make woman unresistable and magical.
And of course she's a redhead. Not That Type of Redhead, more glamorous one, but anyway... 














Another style icon for me to look at while becoming a woman.

It's all about the Girls again


________________________________________________________________________________SSome whatever thoughts of saturday's night...



I loved  Shoshana in S03e02 of Girls (shitty season, but anyway...)



It's October. How did it happen, really? I eat too much sweets and have too much to do. I want to go for a party and wear lot of makeup and sequins, or maybe a witch costume.


I really wish that in my country Halloween was more celebrated. Unfortunately it is day before our All Saints Day and we usually travel to visit the grave of our relatives and there is no time to have fun with the best day in year (in my opinion).

Oh, talking about Shoshana from Girls:

Hannah: I'm bored.
Adam: And you, are you bored too, Shosh?
Shoshana: I'm never bored until there is Halloween in this world!




I wish I have something on my own for real. And be certain of things like money, home or... furniture.



Some dating with butterflies in my stomach would always be nice...




But when I need to forget about things and just be content, I would play this:





Is this post all about Girls, or am I just freaking out?
