Wallpaper: Kings And Queens

So, who loves castles? Me, me! If I were ritch, I would have a mansion just like one of these. Designed by Francois Mansart.

(Click to enlarge)

Fransois Mansart is a 17th-century French architect. He introduced classicism into Baroque architecture of France. He designed mansions and churches, mainly in Paris. Only the richest could afford to have him work for them. Most of Mansart's buildings were subsequently reconstructed or demolished.

 

 

 

I like the simetry of his buildings, multitude of windows and uneven roof. Also, the gardens in front are gorgeus.

Chateau de Mantions (in the next few pictures) is the best preserved example of his mature style. It also uniquely retains the original interior decoration.

Runway: Going Out Tonight

If you're going out in fancy clubs, this post is not for you. Coz I'm mostly going on alternative sites or just hang around in public places. So, what to wear? Here are some ideas.

 

(Please click to enlarge)

I wear everyday clothes plus one or two interesting pieces that stand out. Knee socks, glitter, printed tights, metal, skirts, accessoarize... I dance in angle boots or sneakers, but I would definitely wear high heels or wedges sometimes if I wasn't this tall X-)

 

My Flickr set as always (check out the necklace lol):

 

 

This "rule" works for rock events too.

You know how people often feel alone in a big city? Sometimes it's a good thing I think. Like being alone in Paris like in this video, and simply enjoy its beauty while finding inner piece.
