Runway: Make It Leather

I'm starting to like "leather". I used to think that clothing that imitates leather looks tacky and cheap. But now it's somehow very cool. So yeah, I got myself a "leather" skirt and I'm looking for a pair of pants. A black leather piece gives the outfit rebellious, urban or rock feel. So just throw on at least one!

 

Here's my 'casual board':

(Fun fact: the first aka 'casual' Polyvore creation is my oldest, and the second aka 'glam' is the latest :D)

Dark Room: A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words

I'm in a jumble currently so this post is quick but sweet. No awkward sentences and wanna-be-inspirational thoughts. Just photographs.

Wallpaper: White Dreams

I'm dreaming of a white bedroom. White is not my colour, I don't like all-white interior (all-white anything, not even brides). But a bedroom-yes. It's like a blend of futuristic and vintage. And, it makes you feel like you're in the clouds or heaven or any other perfectly safe and calm place you like.

What else to put in my bedroom? Nice details like open closet, mirrors, flowers, chairs, glass showcase, doll clothes hanger...



The main detail is a vintage make-up table/suite. Girlish dreams. But look at them, sooo beautiful! They indeed add a prima donna touch.

Rec: I'll Mend Your Heart

Haven't seen a video for 'Julian' by Say Lou Lou? Well you're 7 months late! Watch it RIGHT AWAY!

 

 

I think it's a masterpiece. I must say I didn't get the story right away, though I liked the visuals. Then I read that the song is inspired by 'We Children Of Bahnhof Zoo': "For Julian, we centered our references around a German cult film called Christiane F set in the late 70s. It's based on the true story of a 14-year-old girl in Berlin who falls heavily into heroin addiction when she starts hanging out with the wrong people at a nightclub. She dyes her hair red and wears short metallic bomber jackets, slim jeans with colored socks and platforms." Also, "the video echoes some of their favourite movies including The Runaways and Boogie Nights, as well as Davide Sorrenti’s cult photography."(anothermag.com)

 

That book is one of my favourites since I read it for the first time maybe 10 years ago. At the time I found it so scary. I was horrified and disgusted. Since then I read it four times and now I think it's interesting and inspiring (it does not inspires to take drugs off course). I haven't seen the movie yet. But I will when I find time.

If you didn't know, Vera Christiane Felscherinow released a new autobigraphical book titled 'My Second Life' last year. Sounds like a horror sequel: "I hope that 'My Second Life' scares people away from taking drugs more than my first book. I'm quite sure it will. It describes how much pain I've had in my life, and [explains] that I will die a very early and painful death."(wikipedia)

Here's how she looks today (she's green-eyed wow):

Runway: Ultimate Fashion Icon

I don't have idols coz I'm not copying anyone, but I do have icons who inspire me and make this world a better and more beautiful place. My fashion icons are basicaly all British and it's like a little crew, all of them linked together. The ultimate fashion icon is Alexa Chung. I like her clothes and how she wears it. Looks effortless, without jewlerry, often in flats, but still perfectly matching, with some key details, and always classy.

Alexa is such a beauty. Look at her green eyes, perfect lips and messy hear. I actually keep my hair on her lenght. Below you can see some photos with messy short, wavy midi (and purple <3) and sexy long hair (though she rarely wears long hair-so do I). Although, I must say I don't like how skinny she is. Her arms and legs are just too thin.

 

If you didn't know, her real name is Alexa Kachan. She's a model and television presenter. She is also involved in all kinds of fashion things, like editing at British Vogue and releasing a book 'It'.

She dated Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys for 4 years (Alex&Alexa lol). Her good friend is Pixie Geldof (in the picture that is in the middle row), also my fashion icon, and their mate is Nick Grimshaw (a stylish man in the last row). Oh and that's just one part of the crew ;-)
