The world of Maison Martin Margiela.

I wanted to show you this book since I got it for my birthday, so here it is. It´s massive and contains tons of wondeful pictures. Absolute perfection.

Ďakujem M.E. !

"This book provides an inside look at the design process from a craftsman who creates pieces prized for their originality, delicacy, and daring. In the spirit of Margiela’s garments, the book is a work of art in itself, designed exclusively by Margiela and complete with silver inks, ribbon markers, a variety of lush paper types, twelve booklets, and an embroidered white-linen cover. This book provides a window onto the intimate, handmade world of a unique designer."

Current obsession.

This is probably the most interesting nail polish I own. It´s called Wawawoom by H&M. It would fit perfectly to the mini collection of new Chanel nail polishes, which I am very much in love with.

Amsterdam.

Tieto jesenné prázdniny som sa vybrala do Amsterdamu a musím priznať, že je to krásne mesto a chcem sa tam vrátiť čo najskôr. Každá budova sa mi zdala nádherná, niečím výnimočná a sú tam vynikajúce dobroty. Tiež som sa zaľúbila do jedného obchodu The Otherist - fotka sa veľmi nevydarila tak si aspoň pozrite web page. Išla som aj na jednodňový výlet ku moru do obce Zantvoort, kde si mi tiež páčilo, len počasie trochu nevyšlo.

Blog Crush #5

Simple, clean yet delivering a wow effect, that´s how I would describe outfits of 19 years old Yin Pang living in Denmark...although her blog Pangcakes isn´t all about the outfits. Yin writes about her thoughts and shares various adventures from her daily life with us - the readers too. She also posts vlogs on youtube which I enjoy a lot because of Yin´s quirky a funny personality. I bet you are as excited as I was when I first looked at Pangcakes but enough from me, I´ll let the photos and Yin´s answers speak.

Who/what inspires your outfits?

I think what inspires me is what I have seen work on other people mixed with what I would usually wear. I like to try on new sorts of outfits everyday and not stick to one specific look for too long. As an example I prefer not to have too many 'dark' outfits more days in a row, then I like to switch to floral prints or something more girly. I think my 'need' to dress with variety is a big part of what inspires my outfits, to try out everything.

The most stylish person right now?

The wonderful girl behind Froufrouu.com, no doubt. 

Favorite places to shop?

I have been shopping in secondhand stores a lot these past months. Besides from that I, as always, love looking around in Monki. There is always something I want. Besides from that I actually shop waaay too much on the internet, it's addictive.

Favorite piece of clothing you own? 

A pair of vintage Versace shorts I cut myself and my vintage Chanel boots. Besides from that I am really digging a new floral shirt I bought thrifted the other day but I am unsure if it's just a phase because it's new and different, haha.

A piece of clothing you would like own?

Currently waiting impatiently on some pieces I won in a competition that actually have no idea what looks like. But I need to get in the mail and own it right now. Besides from that I love to own the converse platforms trending right now and a pair of black pair of heeled ankle boots! Obsessing over a lot of shoes right now.

Any extra piece of information you'd like to share?

My style has only evolved the way it has because I have been wearing a lot of wrong things because I'm too lazy to follow trends or 'fashion rules'. I learned it the hard way and that's by looking like an idiot for years... I can never present myself as a fashion blogger, it'd be so wrong.

I don´t know what it is that I love about Claudia´s photos so much, maybe the softness, the delicate touch especially when Anna does the model. Take a look at I´M NOT AMBROSIA if you want to see more of this beauty.

Current obsession.

I always had this obsession with small houses which were well designed, minimalistic, backlit and set in beautiful location. This particular one reminds me of a spaceship  :)

Odvždy som bola fascinovaná malými domami, ktoré boli dobre premyslené a navrhnuté, minimalistické, presvetlené a nachádzali sa na krásnych miestach. Tento konkrétny mi pripominá vesmírnu loď :)

Mudgee Permanent Camping

Designed by Casey Brown

Location: Mudgee, Australia

Located on a remote pristine mountain on a sheep station in central western NSW, this structure was the realisation of a dream for the client. The tower is sited at the edge of a ridge, surrounded by large granite boulders and ancient dead trees. Its remote location affords panoramic views for hundreds of miles to the horizon.

Conceived as a retreat for one or two people, the building has a minimal 3x3m footprint providing shelter. The structure is a two storey copper clad tower with the sides opening up on the ground level to provide wide verandahs to the north, east and western elevations. To the south, a water tank and winches are located to operate the moveable verandah roofs. When not in use these roofs close down to completely enclose the timber and glass interior, protecting it from the elements in particular bush fires.

Internally, the structure is beautifully crafted from recycled ironbark providing a sleeping loft and small kitchen with a Rais wood fired slow combustion stove. Water is collected on the roof with a separate WC, also in copper clad hardwood, located a short walk to the west. The structure is heavily insulated from cold winds as well as searing daytime temperatures, with multi layered walls all ventilated top and bottom allowing free air movement.

Due to the isolated nature of the building site, the building was completely prefabricated by the builder Jeffrey Broadfield in Sydney and then transported to site and erected.

I´ve never showed you this awesome bag I won at Jul´s blog. It looks very sophisticated and to my surprise it can carry a lot of school books too. The second photo was made by Tana and I just love it!

Nikdy som vám neukázala túto skvelú kabelku, ktorú som vyhrala na Julianinom blogu. Vyzerá veľmi sofistikovane a na moje prekvapenie sa do nej dokáže zmestiť plno školských učebníc. Druhú fotku urobila Tana, za čo jej ďakujem lebo tú fotografiu proste zbožňujem. Fascinuje ma ako dobre je zaostrená a pritom je to nechutné pozadie mierne rozmazané :)

“It was a very stupid thing to do, I'll admit, but I hardly didn't even know I was doing it.”

I took a few days off from blogging, mostly because I had to finish school projects so my grade report would look a little better at the end of school year and secondly because I was thinking over the meaning and purpose of my blog.

After cleaning up my wardrobe, I weighted all the stuff I wanted to throw away (not literally - donate or sell) and found out it was 19kg of clothes! This stuff also covered 2/3 of my closet. The oldest things were max. 3 years old, although I have to point out that until last year my height was rising.

Now, let´s get to the point of this post.

I really don´t have that many basics in my closet, there were things which were on trend for few weeks or so, and I didn´t wear them afterwards. Why am I buying stuff like that? Oh wait, isn´t it what most of the fashion bloggers do? I think so. Many of them/us buy something "currently fashionable", show it off and then (maybe) try to wear it uniquely for a while. To be more concrete, I mean clothes that aren´t the best quality. Nowadays, cheap things are made to serve for a little time so we can purchase new ones over and over, in large quantities. That´s called consumerism.

What am I going to do about it? Reduce and reuse. Now that sounds almost cliché but what I mean is reducing my so-called-needs considering fashion, reusing clothes - making something new out of something old and supporting secondhand/thrift/vintage stores. There are enough clothes in the world already, so why not dig up something that 1. Not many people have 2. Will satisfy me for more than 1 month and if not it´s easy to donate it back. Hopefully I´ll be able to withdraw myself from this cycle of consumerism although I´m not saying it will be that easy.

How do you look at this issue? 

Vzala som si pár dni voľna od bloggovania, hlavne preto lebo som musela dokončiť nejaké školské projekty aby moje vysvedčenie vyzeralo o niečo lepšie a po druhé, lebo som premýšľala nad zmyslom a účelom môjho blogu.

Po uprataní mojej skrine som zvážila všetko oblečenie, ktoré som chcela vyhodiť(nie doslovne – darovať alebo predať) a zistila, že to bolo 19kg! Tieto veci taktiež pokrývali 2/3 mojej skrine. Najstaršie kusy boli max. 3 roky staré aj keď musím podotknúť, že do minulého roku moja výška rástla.

A teraz k pointe tohto príspevku.

Nemám až tak veľa „basic“ kúskov v mojej skrini, boli tam veci, ktoré boli trendy na pár týždňov alebo tak a potom som ich vôbec nenosila. Prečo si ale kupujem takéto kúsky? Počkať, nie je to presne to, čo robí väčšina módnych bloggerov? Myslím, že hej. Veľa z nich/nás si kúpi niečo „aktuálne moderné“, ukáže to a potom sa to chvíľu snaží nosiť jedinečne. Ak by som mala byť konkrétna, myslím oblečenie, tej nie najlepšej kvality. V dnešnej dobe sú lacné veci vyrobené tak aby slúžili na krátky čas aby sme si ich mohli kúpiť znovu a znovu, „najlepšie“ vo veľkých množstvách. Tomu sa hovorí konzumerizmus.

A čo s tým urobím ja? Obmedziť a znovu použiť = recyklovať. Ja viem, znie to tak trochu klišé ale čo mám na mysli, je zredukovanie mojich „potrieb“ v rámci módy, opätovného využívania oblečenia – vyrábanie niečoho nového z niečoho starého a podporovanie sekáčov. Na svete je už dostatok oblečenia (nevymýšľam si!), tak prečo nevyhrabať niečo čo 1. nevlastní veľká kopa ľudí 2. uspokojí ma na viac než mesiac a ak nie, je jednoduché vrátiť to späť. Dúfam, že sa mi podarí dostať sa z tohto cyklu konzumerizmu aj keď nehovorím, že to bude jednoduché.

Ako sa pozeráte na tento problém vy?

Hey,

I must admit that the last few days had been great - not only because there are panini for just 1euro at Coffe&Co but I am really happy that I got so many new followers!

I had to beg my 10 year old brother to take a few photos of me though I really felt like I had to show this outift to you - I simply love the colors.
