HOW TO MAKE ASYMMETRIC SKIRT

As some of you may remember I loooove to shop in vintage stores where I can find clothes of excellent quality in a very good prices, sometimes though there is the problem with it's size. :/ I don't remember, if I mentioned before that I enjoy to re-make the clothes I find in second hand shops and create totally new garments out of it. If I didn't today is going to be the first time. 

Let me introduce you to how to make an asymmetric skirt tutorial :D

Basically what you need is a skirt approx 10 sizes too big for you, made from fabric you love and 4 attaching snaps buttons. It has to be a simple skirt (maybe like a pencil skirt or one with the rubber around the waist). Remember it is crucial for it to be simple! The reason for it is that you need to get a rectangular piece of fabric out of it. 

Once you have an rectangular the only thing is to attach the snaps to it. One part of first snap you attach to the very (lets say) left corner and its second part you have to fit to your waist size. Once you will do it rectangular will fit you and should stay around your waist. You are left now just with 3 snaps. One its part you attach to loose part of skirt, the other one you need to measure and attach to the core part of the dress. Once done it is finished- asymmetric skirt is ready. 

I hope I explained it right- below you can see the pic-tutorial how the buttons are being attached and my look in this skirt. 

How do you like this project and it's final effect?

NAIL POLISH DILLEMA

Todays question of the day: is it okey to wear the same color on your fingers and toe nails?

Why this question? Well lets start from the beginning. For ages now I was using a set on my nails: black on toes and pale pink on fingers. But yesterday I just needed some refreshment so I covered my toes with some pale pink and fingers with beige. Later on I was doing some cleaning in the bathroom and, as you can imagine, all my manicure got totally destroyed, so today before going to work, because of acting so totally automatically, I put on my finger nails pale pink. 

I left the house, sat in the tram seen what I have done and thought: 'Hmmm...'. Until I reached the-OFFICE I already felt awkward in it and by the time I finished, I wanted to scrub this horrible pale pink off myself... hahahahah

Okey, I am exaggerating. I survived and literally nothing had happen. More! I believe that no one even noticed this 'nail polish faux pas', but I am curious your opinion:
Would you or would you not wear the same color on your finger and toe nails?

TRAVEL TIPS FROM FESTIVAL: BAZANT POHODA 2014

With a bit of delay I can announce that I HAVE BEEN ON POHODA FESTIVAL! 

Where is it?

Trencin, Slovakia. Website HERE.

How to get there?

There is no direct buses to Trencin airport, where festival takes place, so the best option is to travel by car. If you do not have car, check festival's website, or Facebook fan page, where lots of people is offering a lift for reasonable price. 

What to pack? 

Wellingtons, tent, parka jacket are must haves, I advise to take also a supply of fresh water (the closest shop is quite far away from the village). Festival village is quite nicely equipped, so you can expect: place where phone can be charged, showers, free wifi all around the field, lots of restaurants (also quite impressive choice of vegetarian dishes), coffee places, fashion shops and gift shops (if you hunt for cool festival- tagged bag, as I did, you have to hunt for it at the very first day. The amount of all gadgets is limited). All info you will find in info-book you can get at the gate when entering. 

Do you travel with kids? 

In the village was a special tent for kids, where the youngest participants of the event could enjoy some pre-organised entertainment. 

This year top performances, as per my subjective choice:

1. Kraftwerk 3D show with amazing visualizations. 

2. Broke- danish band with extremely, positive energy

3. ESEZLESA- Czech band bringing to my mind sound from teenage times by SOMETHING LIKE ELVIS BAND

4. Moderat- it became my very favourite band now! :D

5. Disclosure- <3

MAKE UP FREE FASHION CAMPAIGN? OWH, YEAH

In the newest Sonia Rykiel campaign with Gisele Bundchen presents exactly this kind of woman I want to be! No make up, naturally styled hair and cheerful smile- that is what made model beautiful on this pics. For all vintage-fans as myself, was added the element of 70's inspired stylization. 

Hope to see more like this!

JUMPSUIT FAIRY TALE

It took me couple of years, thousands of hours in fitting rooms and a lot of courage to eventually get off doubts about jumpsuit. Yeah, it is trendy and yeah it looks fancy and yeah, all this bla- bla- bla, but truly I have never ever seen any, which would look good on me. This happens actually quite often- pieces, which looks gorgeous on models, on photos in magazines and which I admire on mannequins in shop-windows when pulled on mine body starts to look like a bag for potatoes :/ Due to this traumatic experience for long time I didn't even try on any jumpsuit- not to lower my selfesteem, 'cos who likes to see him/herself looking hideous??? 

I lived safe life in my cave free of jumpsuits until I have seen one of my favourite fashion bloggers: Maffashion in gorgeous blue jumpsuit looking so sophisticated and so chic as no one before (to verify my taste you can check HERE). That was the moment I understood that I have to go hunting and find exactly the same piece! 

As you can imagine searching for ideal piece always ends with nothing, and so that had happen. No jumpsuit, no outfit of blue queen and no happy face for me, my friends... I agreed with my destiny and get over with greeve and that is when miracle had happen. TOTALLY BY ACCIDENT I went for sale shopping and I actually didn't even want to buy anything, rather to verify that all the best is already sold out when I reached shop I usually do not go in and found THE ONE AND ONLY PERFECT JUMPSUIT!

After trying it on for half an hour I decided it passed the test and I still love it and so you can see it now on pics. It is fully mine and I will never split with it. Now I have everything- I am fulfilled and I can enjoy my time peacefully!

HOW TO MIX PATERNS

Mixing different patterns is always bit of a risk, isn't it? Polka dot and stripes, checked fabric with animal print and all other mixes can cause a bit of concern, but sometimes we just have to go wild, don't we? 

So did I yesterday, when matching stripped top with animal print skirt. I came up with it by way of elimination. I wanted to wear this top (New Look)as I have it for couple of weeks and I never felt like wearing it. Wearing it with black skirt was so boring, so to chose a perfect match I checked all the skirts and pants I have in my wardrobe (made a huge mess in the meantime, but luckily 53R102K4 showed understanding!). At the bottom, the last one I tried, was this old colourful skirt from Next. When put together it stole my heart. 

Sorry, but on pics I am speaking with 53R102K4*(not about the mess though) but conversation couldn't wait and unfortunately pics could not be made later.

SALE's HUNTING

Who  loves sales??? I definitely do! 

In the middle of the summer all brands, luxurious and main stream ones, organise a happening for all fashion addicts (like myself) and decide to sell out all the garments up to 75% less than original price! Good bargain? Undoubtedly, especially that during this time we already know trends for upcoming season and we can simply buy something for future.

My way to deal with sales involves a lot of walking around the shops, but it is so worth it. Usually, I do one round through shops in the very first week of sales- even though everything is still quite expensive to asses what is there. If you were anxious to buy something from the middle of the March, but due to it's ridiculous price your conscious was stopping you, this is the moment to buy it! 

There is also a bunch of stuff we don't so-so-urgently-need and these ones can wait for the second round through sales, in the middle/end of July. This is not only time when everything reaches it's lowest price. Important is that all the old things from last season are being pushed out from warehouses and this is the time when you can find some bargains and shop for autumn. 

I usually shop two type of things: shoes- there is nothing better than pair of amazing leather shoes in crazy, low price(!), and things I would never-ever buy in it's regular price, but wont refuse to get it for when it's nearly for free.

My pics this summer were: 

leather stilettos- it would be a sign not to buy it!

skirt- just 'cos it was so cute,

jumpsuit- I was afraid I will never wear it and now I'd not take it off even to sleep, 

top with transparent detail- c'mon this trend is so hot! 

and bunch of accessory including necklaces, rings, bracelets, bag (my backpack is from H&M not CHANEL, but looks so-so alike I didn't find it's picture though :/ ) and of course sunglasses.

What was your pics?

Happy hunting!!!
