All about the hair

Hair is our fashion accessories, one of the first things people sees on us. If we take care of them they can give us confidence and can make us feel sexy, cute, elegant or fierce. It completes our look and style.

That is why my shelf is full of products that should help my hair grow faster, shine brighter and feel softer. And few actually do the work but none exactly how I would want to. 

Until recently I thought only hairdressers knows the trick. And after a little research, I've got the answer I was looking for and not every woman knows it, so I'm sharing it with you. And to take one more thing off your mind. J

At first it's all about the hair structure and second how you blow dry it. 

The structure looks like this: 

And if you blow dry your hair like this:

Hair's ends open like this 

and make our hair dry, damaged and definitely not soft to the touch.

But if you do your hair like this:

You close the hair and make it healthier, shinier and most important the hair ends split less. :)

Easy trick  that takes only 10 extra minutes but it makes every day a good hair day. :)

Changes

How time passes and life changes. 

What impact all these tiny things have on us.

So many times I remember how much cheaper everything was when there was no economy inflation.

How much harder it was for me to get through primary school and how easy and carefree was high school. How I fell in love with everybody and how I found a guy so special and stayed in love with him for so long. How I came a long way from Drop dead gorgeous to Lana Del Rey. How much partying we did and how priorities changed when I finally saw the world in a different perspective, - through love's eyes.

And than ... How the world changed. How people changed. 

When friends are not friends any more but they're just people who passed your way and happened to stay around and backstabbing is a daily routine. 

Their masks are so good made it's impossible to tell how many faces people have and which one's real and fake. And who's a true friend and won't leave you behind when someone new comes along.

How boyfriend/girlfriend thing is now only friends with benefits thing and relationships are all about cheating and money. All people are interested in are new clothes, gossips and perfections. So nobody can see how insecure and imperfect you are. 

And life of a rich and famous when they're neither. 

Meeting people who are not all that and we still share the same values in life are making my days full-filled and happy.

Because if I quote John Legend: ˝Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections.˝ I say it all. ;)

And when changes come to mind, there is always a thought about fashion and clothing.
At first clothing was made to protect our bodies from weather and all types of injuries.
Now they're revealing skin, curves, legs and hiding our flosses. Most of the times showing off too much and hiding too little.
More is more and less is just not fine. 
Fashion is funny. It's changing so fast we can barely keep up, and it's made for the new cloths to be old in a week.
Changes. What I'm wearing on these photos below is very similar to what I was wearing about 7 years ago. And everybody were saying it's a Halloween costume.

Now they call it fashion.

And it feels good.

Concrete Playground

This post is about a girl, I truly hope she's gonna make it big. Either in fashion designing, photography or using any other talent that she possess. She's still in college, but once she'll step out of their box I'm sure we'll hear more of her. Go and get it all, girl! :)


A guided project, where I had to use existing jeans

pieces and a lamp collection to create silhouettes.

I chose to upcycle the jeans and combine that with

the FIl de Fer lamp collection.

The Collection expresses the ever presence of jeans

that I’ve twisted into playful yet geometric shapes to

reflect urban youth and city skylines.

The Next Black

While technology is constantly moving forward and we are barely keeping up with it, the fashion, or better the people behind it are doing miracles with it. 

This particularly documentary is showing how fashion can collaborate with technology, how connected are the two of them. 

At the beginning we are introduced to 3D printing and smart clothing.

First is giving us ability to create pretty much everything we want to and I'm not talking only fashion. You can own a piece of metal or polymer and you can make it an art. 

Second one is for all the people doing sports, because forget those stuff around your ankle, wrist, chest or wherever, you can now simply dress all the speed-o-meters, heart-o-meters and all other existing o-meters and you can enjoying the work without them being in the way, wrapped around your body.  :)

The second part of the movie is even more interesting, knocking on our conscience.  It's another step forward - adding nature to the previous couple. With all the existing problems we already have with environment and climate changes we don't really need more of that. 

That is why I love the idea of  making clothes and accessories with a little help from our mother nature.

Everybody are buying new clothes, shoes and accessories daily and are always concerned about not wearing the same skirt twice in a row, or when go out partying it's nearly a must to wear new outfit from tip to toes. Rather than buying new it's not easier but it's better to remake it and make it look new. 

That's why Rick, Sophie and IFIXIT are a breath of fresh air, dealing with unnecessary needs and the negative impact that fast fashion has on the nature. And us.

Worth the watching, they tell it perfectly. 

It's educative and puts what we know to a new, much needed perspective. 

Action! Part One

We've met in October 2013 at our first coffee session.
Since we did many more, always having loads of fresh ideas and positive energy.

Latest was our first outdoors at the beautiful sea side
surrounded with flower, boats and summer, finally.

Through those months of collaboration we became great team
always  ready for new adventures and challenges.

Need you, baby, like I breathe you, baby

She is an amazing artist with the taste of future and fresh breeze of the past.

Every single time her voice make my body tingling, my knees weak and the melody of her songs make me sway. And she make me love a little harder and cry a little stronger and laugh a little louder and breath a little deeper. 

She gives the old Hollywood a new vibe, making songs sound timeless and giving everything a romantic touch. 

I was waiting for this moment to happen for too long. But good things come to those who wait. :)
Her new album made me fall for her all over again, once again.

Left me speechless and breathless.

And guess what is on repeat everyday the whole day?
ULTRAVIOLENCE! :)
