TO - 06/30 - there's something significant and something bizarre about us all… why are “harem” pants so intriguing?

There are no ordinary-looking persons.

There's somewhat significant and somewhat bizarre about us all. Occasionally I distinguish the long for or the loathing in the finest character; as a matter of fact, the disgusting purposes are more easily perceptible on refined faces.

When a lovely thought creeps out one's mind, you can see a woman or man transformed in a unbelievable, unearthly being walking the streets as if nothing happened, buying shoes, drinking coffee or cashing money and all environs are abruptly bursting into light as if leaving a tunnel.

There are such amazing differences stamped on people's faces that one has to believe in heaven and hell by only strolling through town saying hi, bye and thank you.

I’ve been very busy (as always lol) and, Hubby and I, we have been painting our indoors.
Well if you’ll need someone to paint your home I will not recommend those two (lol), some accidents can happen and tint can be splashed…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ve received some awards that I’ve to mention and pass them on. I really appreciate them and thank all my blogging friends for thinking of me. I will try to do it the sooner as I can.

I want to thank all the comments on my previous post; they were all very supportive and kind. Thank you so much!

regaining creativity…

Since I’ve started my blog, among other things, I’ve tried to show you my daily outfits. (What I actually wear, I don’t do productions)

Outfits that I’ve made an effort to be creative, colourful, and innovative with some smartness and style. Maybe I didn’t always succeed, but that doesn’t mean I stopped trying.

Now I’m worried about the way I’m feeling because I would like to do some colourful, some artistic or some fashion forward outfits but it seems my creativity simply disappeared.
As I’ve told you before I’m a mood dresser, so I just can’t plan in advance what to wear for instance for the next week. I must sense it every day.
But now it seems all I want to do is throw something “safe” and call it a day.
Every morning is a pain just because I have to dress myself, and pulling together a stylish, charming look is a challenge.
I look into my closet and notice that I’m a lucky girl and despite I might need some more things, I have many clothes and my real problem is how to mix them.

However I’ll continue to post about my daily wear, hoping that like many people who faced similar situations with creativity I’ll be able to over come it.

TO - 06/25 & 06/26 - the feeling of disappointing others... Rest In Peace, Michael Jackson...

June, 25 outfit

June, 26 outfit

I’ve been very busy and I need holidays. I’m feeling depressed and on a style standoff.

Using up the feeling of guilt is the most unbearable guilt.

It is people having high hopes from us.
We should use more often the right of disappointing others and less often the right of disappointing ourselves.

........................

Because It's Just A Matter Of Time
Before Your Confidence Will Win Out Lift Up Your Mind
Before Your Mind Gets Blown
Some Things In Life
You Best Just Leave Them Alone
Go For What You Want
Don't Let It Get In Your Way
You Can Make It Happen
But Ya Got Ta Keep The Faith

........................

Rest In Peace, MJ!!!

TO - 06/24 - it was Saint John’s holiday… with the city well dressed, I looked casual…

The city is dressing its best’s clothes to live the biggest festivities of the year, the Sanjoaninas, which are the Saint John’s Festival that ends Sunday.

“Au contraire”, I chose to wear, on this city holiday, a very simple and casual look to go for a walk through the places where the party is pulsing.

I think you’ll understand why today my post is short of words… ;)

On another note I must confess that I’ve always been a blazer woman, but I also liked a lot my cardigans which you can see by last summer outfits. Well, poor cardigans that are relegate this year by my complete addiction to blazers.
Must give them more importance…

TO – 06/23 – nautical vibes with a D&G inspiration… blue as a cold colour and its combinations…

Today I looked to one of the tops Hubby brought me and it came to my mind this D&G look from theirs S/S 2009 collection.

So inspired in that I wore this nautical vibes outfit.

Red, blue and white are the tree colours more associated to nautical looks.

Thus, today I’m talking about “blue”, the colder colour. Once again I want to make clear that it’s just my opinion and I’m not an expert, I’m just an instinctive.

Cool colours tend to have a calming effect. At one end of the spectrum they are cold, impersonal, antiseptic colours. At the other end the cool colours are comforting and nurturing. Almost everyone likes some shade of the colour blue.

In many diverse cultures blue is significant in religious beliefs, brings peace, or is believed to keep the bad spirits away.
Blue conveys importance and confidence without being sombre or sinister, hence the blue power suit of the corporate world and the blue uniforms of police officers. Long considered a corporate colour, blue, especially darker blue, is associated with intelligence, stability, unity, and conservatism.

Now some of my colour combinations with blue: red; orange; gold or bright yellow; maize; straw colour; salmon; crimson; pink; lilac; green; gray; chestnut; chocolate; brown; tans or beige; bright white; black; orange and black; scarlet and purple or lilac; orange and green; green and gray; brown crimson and yellow or gold; orange black and white; dark blue with metallic silver accents for an elegantly rich appearance.

(Keep in mind that the shades are very important)

Wear blue when you want to exude an air of calm authority, you need to be more organized or you want to communicate something important.
Do not wear blue when you are feeling isolated or lonely, you feel depressed or you are being too critical of both yourself and others.
Feeling blue or getting the blues represents the extremes of the calm feelings associated with blue, i.e. sadness or depression, lack of strong (violent) emotion.

Tomorrow is Saint John’s Day, the city holiday. Hope it will do a good weather…
