OUTFIT: CROP TOP

Animal print on my dress causes people to look at me while I am walking down the street. I wonder whether I like it or not. It is not the skirt, a friend of mine says. It is your top. It looks like you wear a bikini. 

It is good as an artist to always see things in new, weird way.* I allow myself to think that I am an artist to forget about this madness. It is a perfect explanation, especially that today I indeed wish to produce. Creating is not easy, though. Hours pass and nothing come to my mind... I wander around my flat. I sit on a couch, lie on a bed, move here and there. I feel it may help, but it doesn't. I listen to my favorite tracks. I read poems by Baudelaire and briefly go through Topor's Tennant. I can't focus on, though, I know it all by heart and going through it again seem to have no sense...

I decide to change a strategy. I want to watch a movie for a change. I think of Bergman or Kubrick, but hours of web browsing brings nothing good. I watch Citizenfour and become paranoid. I hesitate if I should even mention it on my blog. My tired mind looking for come across FKA Twigs video. I need nothing more, nothing less. It is perfect. I feel the pressure disappear and it brings me such a relief... In peace, I focus on my work now.

Enjoy the video and stay awesome!

INSPIRATION: WATER

Sometimes I can stare for hours at the water. It doesn't matter whether it is a sea, a lake, a fountain or any other kind of water spring. I just sit, look at it and it calms me down. I do that to chase away demons of rush hours and look into myself, find some inner peace...

OUTFIT: BUTTON UP SKIRT

I get excited by being told it is not been done before or it is not possible. Why? Let's find a different way to do it and let's do it. Now that is exciting!*

OUTFIT: SUMMER

This year we had kind summer. It hasn't finished yet, but fall already started to give signs of its closeness. It was raining all day yesterday from the very morning till the very evening. I was walking through the rain with an animal print umbrella and in my tank top. Luckily the rain did not bring cold yet. 

INSPIRATION: CHLOE

Inspiration: Chloe ad campaign for fall/winter .
Models: Anja Rubik & Julia Stegner 
Photographer: Inez & Vinoodh.

OUTFIT: BMW 2002

This season fashion have pleased me with its referrals to 70s. Eclectic tendance to mix boho, gipsy, military with literally everything else touches my sense of aesthetics deeply, so I follow this trend blindly. I smuggle its elements to every single outfit and same happened on Saturday when I had a trip to Vienna. Backless body, khaki shorts and strappy sandals got tamed with gold chains, rings and floppy hat... The perfect outfit to enrich my blog!, I thought.

INSPIRATION: T&P

As I wrote you many times before weather in Brno is gorgeous, but also demanding. To meet its strict requirements, I have developed the perfect suit. The perfectness of it is that it can be worn in various situations- check perfect ideas of where and how to style it up!

OUTFIT: SIMPLICITY

My weekend will officially start in 2 hours. I am sitting in front of my PC and fully focused I do all my jobs as fast as possible. I don't want to stay even a minute longer than necessary in the office today...

SPOTLIGHT: KNITWEAR

I loved this dress from the very moment I have seen it. I didn't buy it first cos of this and that, but when I came across it on SALE I just could not resist.

Doesn't it's deep neckline and lenght brings to your mind THIS collection by Narciso Rodrigues ??? It does for me...

Stay awesome!

STARRING: dress ZARA

OUTFIT: LATENESS

A set of black dress and beige gladiators is my response for 'I don't have anything to wear' situation. You would think that during summer when the sun is shining so bright one may not have problems with waking up, but nothing more misleading. My problems with oversleeping last since forever. Bad time management or just fondness to sleep? I am hoping the blame is on the second one, but my general tendance to be late may indicate differently. 

To be honest, I like to put a blame for my bad timing on tons of factors, which are irreversibly independent on me. My favorite one refers to living for months in Indonesia. It changed how I approach the time, but I would lie saying it actually affect my lateness in any way. I like to mention it, though, cos it brings lots of good memories. I wish to be less responsible pack my bag and go back there. I often list on a piece of paper pros and cons of such situation and for a time being there is more cons... What I am heading towards, though, is getting more holidays in order to visit other continents more often. Fingers crossed for it to happen!

Stay awesome!

OUTFIT: KNITWEAR

 
I am all about knitwear, so even in the hottest day I can smuggle some knitted piece. Especially that I just bought it and could not wait any longer to wear it. I pulled it on and went for relaxing walk. 

Why deny me this simple pleasure? I thought.

OUTFIT: SHORTS

 
The air burns, but it doesn't discourage me from wearing shorts. I have the aim to tan my legs as much as possible. Getting a tan, sitting and chatting with a friend over a lemonade... yes, I can do all the lazy activities when it is so hot, but active ones are the different cup of tea. I excuse myself with hot weather not to exercise and I don't like this attitude of mine.

SPOTLIGHT: BODYSUIT

Nothing makes me happier, than SALE hunting. My latest trophy is this gorgeous open-back body. It is my way to wear lace up trend.

I can't wait to wear it this weekend for a sports event out! 

Stay awesome guys!

OUTFIT: SEASIDE

Lately, I tend to think of myself as a woman. I wear my fancy bodycon dress, cover my shoulders with biker jacket and I feel very feminine. Regardless what I wear and how I behave though there are a couple of things that always awaken a kid in me. One of them is the sea. 

INSPIRATION: IRO

OUTFIT: RECYCLED

'What do you think of this picture?' I asked.

'Well... You've been wearing Pineapple dress many times already...' a friend of mine said.

'Really?'I replied surprised. 'Is there anything wrong with it? Isn't it great to recycle?' I said and smiled charmingly. 

A friend in response laughed and nodded. ' Indeed, wearing same item more than once that makes you a queen of recycling...'

OUTFIT: CITY

Holiday has finished and I have returned to the city.... I pull on flowered skater skirt and let it swirl on the wind. 

OBSESSION: SHEATH DRESS @ ERICDRESS.COM

Here are my top choices from ericdress.com. You can find cheap casual dresses HERE, lace dresses online HERE and sheath dresses HERE.

Here are links to my favorites: 1., 2., 3.

OUTFIT: SUMMER

It's holiday time for me. I am in Riga, visiting 53R102K4s parents and enjoying the seaside. Weather is great, 53R102K4 is here, so honestly I could not imagine any better scenario of time off work this year...

OUTFIT: TOTAL LOOK

Black do not seem to be a perfect solution for a boiling hot, but frills and pleats do. When the temperature rises over 30 degrees, I can't stand bodycon clothes... Just breathable, loose design can bring bits of relieving in this condition. 

Summer hit us unexpectedly. We were awaiting it impatiently whole winter but become truly surprised when it eventually arrived. Some may complain, but not me. There is nothing that makes me happier than hot summer weather.

OUTFIT: CUTOUTS

When it is hot, it is difficult to dress appropriately for the office purposes. Everything seems too open, but on the other hand in everything else you feel too hot. 

INSPIRATION: JUNGLE

On Friday I go on long-awaited holidays. Forecast says that the weather is gonna be not as good as I expected. Desperately I look for outfit inspiration that will do during both rain and sun... Here is my latest finding Jungle editorial for Elle Russia with Stella Maxwell by photographer Ben Morris.

OUTFIT: WEEKEND

The weekend eventually has come. Weather is awesome. Even now, at 10 pm, the temperature is still over 25 degrees. I love this feeling when warm air surrounds my body. It reminds me of Indonesia and how happy I was there.

MUSINGS: JULY
