Runway: Event Dress Codes

Here are some ideas for different events we (don't) attend. I tried to find suitable Polyvore interpretations  from my archives.

Let's start with something simple. Going out to the club. Friday evening at the bar. You know, those opportunities to wear a dress, skirt, heels... Here are some cute, not-vulgar ideas:

Next. Birthdays. Wear something simple (a.k.a. comfortable) with details that stand-out. You want to look good and ready for full participation in the event.

Who likes culture events? Opening parties, promotions, award ceremonies... I do! Here I'm going for a classy/feminine look. Coz you want to look sophisticated in a way.

Finally, red carpet. All eyes on you. I imagine that moment in fine materials like lace, silk, brocade etc. And royal colors: black, white, red, green, gold, silver.

Oh, and I thought about those girls who don't feel comfortable in skirts and weird pants. So here's a set with comfy jeans and such. They can be combined to look elegant too. Specially practical in colder season.

Cro: Lovely Photographer

I am not familiar with many good amateur photographers from Croatia. But I know a few. Ines Perković is one of them. She shoots lifestyle photography with such warmth and passion. Her simple style with a personal touch is so relaxing. Here are some shots with my favorite motives like clouds, light, fog... You know I'm obsessed with that.

Visit her web-site: inesperkovic.com

You'll find her photos, beauty blog and links to other accounts like Flickr and Instagram.

P.S. If you're in Zagreb, I recommend "Foto Tonka"-an exhibition about our famous photographer Tonka Kulčar-Valjda. Her 1920s portraits are magical.

Dark Room: Eclipse

Miroslav Druckmüller photographs various sky phenomena, including eclipses. He creates unique composite images by combining 40-50 photos in one. These total solar eclipse photographs show beautiful coronas and are actually scientifically valuable.

I didn't know that solar eclipse photography is so demanding:

" Solar eclipse photography if one of the most difficult tasks of astronomical photography. There are at least three reasons for that. The first and main one is the extreme contrast which makes impossible to record the phenomenon on a single image. (...) The second reason is little chance for making experiments. If anything gets wrong it may take years to get an opportunity for a new experiment. The last but not the least reason is the fact that processing of images taken during total eclipse is very complicated and time consuming work with needs of one purpose software being developed specially for this aim."
