TRAVEL TIPS: CANOE

During summer I try to use my time as efficiently as possible. Last week we decided to go canoeing. How to organise a good canoeing trip? Lets check it out!

What you will need? 
Firstly find a place offering water activities. Surprisingly there is really lots of them. Check it, by typing your location in any browser. If you are located nearby Czech/Austrian border, I can recommend place we chose: a river leading from village LEDNICE to BRECLAV (link to website we used you can find HERE).

Secondly invite your friends. When location and prices are checked the idea need to be announced to all your friends. If everything is already prepared, it should not be very difficult to convince them by promising great time. 

Once you have a list of people we gonna participate, you all have to discuss, if you prefer to enjoy wild nature or sport activities. We wanted both, so the way we have chosen was leading through wild forests, the grasslands for horses and leading to the old castle, where we could have our lunch and relax. 

It is very important to remember about your physical possibilities! Don't overestimate your strength!

Once you will complete all tasks there is nothing more than just to enjoy the trip :D

#ALEXANDERWANG&HM

Are you as thrilled as I am when it comes to #ALEXANDERWANG&HM collaboration? From the moment designer announced it on his #INSTAGRAM I am awaiting the results of his work. Recently to satisfy our curiosity designer released couple of pics documenting progress of works done. The pics shows: key chain and excerpt of something- probably bag with mat.  

Collection is coming to 250 shops across the world on 6th of November and will include woman and man clothing, accessories as well as first time appearing group of products under mysterious name: 'objects of daily use'. I am awaiting sporty yet chic garments, probably in black and white colours.  

H&M is choosing the greatest for it's collaborations. H&M's creative adviser Margareta van den Bosch summarized simply: "Alexander Wang is one of the most important voices in fashion today. He understands exactly what people want to wear and does it with an energy and passion that's infectious. It feels incredible to be collaborating with him this year."

Now just patience can save me...

WHITE DRESS

Recently I am writing a lot about BASICS (mostly HERE and HERE). This is simply because I believe both firstly it is much grater challenge to create inspiring look-book with use of just couple of garments instead of each time presenting totally new clothes; secondly I do not think that perfect looks are about consumption but more about learning how to gather garments that will suit my personality and style timelessly.  

One of this basics which I love is WHITE DRESS. Once you will find the perfect one, you will not want to take it off and will stay with you for years. To totally disagree with what I wrote in paragraph before I will admit now that I have got couple of white dresses. To justify myself I can just say that each and every one of them is in a different style. 

This one from H&M and I like couple of things about it: firstly it is simple, secondly it has underlined waist; thirdly it has very delicate embroidery with some lace details which is making it girlish. Perfect for summer!

Enjoy creating your list of essentials!

CAMEO

Is it possible for anything to be always in fashion? Surprisingly it is. When some images comes and goes, others accompanying us in it's various forms constantly through the centuries. 

Timeless piece of art is cameo. The oldest ones are dated back in ancient Greece. It was used to praise it's lords and heroes as well as to document the history of the nation. Continued by Romans, but than experienced times of oblivion  and came back only during renaissance. As its original execution was incredibly expensive due to both materials and craftsmanship of an artist, when cameo was introduced to the public it changed it's form slightly. During 19th century was introduced to fashion and widely used especially as a brooch portraying a woman.

Nowadays we still get inspired by either ancient symbol or Art Nevous heritage. Modern art allows us to remake itself and so we remade also cameo. I decided to chose it in a form bypassing its previously tactile form and becoming flat two colored print. 

How do you like cameo tee?

GO WILD WITH FRINGES!

 

 Summer is an great time to play with fashion. During strict winter I need to remember about comfort before anything else(!), but now when weather is kind  I can let my imagination go wild.

THINKING OF A FESTIVAL ^^

I am so about this vest that I will continue set of vest looks today as well :)

Sometimes i experience ONE-THING-ADDICTION for a day or two and this is what happened to me now. I believe it is increasing also due to FESTIVAL TREND present all around. I am telling you guys, this vest is definitely going with me for festival next week!!! (I just hope that I will not have to take another festival-essential WELLINGTONS... fingers crossed for the weather ;) )

If any of you will be nearby Slovakia next week try to check POHODA, there is going to be a bunch of amazing artists performing ;)

Btw 'cos of my very active schedule during holidays and also 'cos of following worldwide trend I decided to become Instagramer. Will see if I will catch 'this-thing' and publish something valuable. I challenged myself to be focused all day long for a perfect shot. Will see how it will go :D (can't say weather I am excited 'cos of festival or Instagram, lol)

Have a good Tuesday!

WHY TO READ COLUMNS?

Summer eventually come to Brno. I love summer, cos it brings nice weather and nice weather allows me to spend time outside my house, without worrying about mundane things like cold. One of my favorite entertainments, while sitting in the nature, is reading and there is nothing better than reading a piece of well-written column.

Here are reasons why I like columns:

1. It is easy to read.
2. It inspires me.
4. It helps me to improve my English. (my main focus at the moment!)

This weekend I read a great piece by Suzy Menkes and I wish to recommend it to you. It is about female members of royal families. Trust me, you won't regret checking it HERE. ;)

Have a great Monday!
