Hello, weekend chic.

Style of today is simplicity and hip chic!
The days when I dont feel like building a chic look or do not have time for that, I pull on a pair of shorts and embrace the idea of trendy shirts. lol
Like today, sheer studded skull-design camouflage tee teamed up with high-waisted denim shorts and a pair of adorable breezy lace flats- effortless edginess is reached!

Messy Sassy

Vintage store shopping is always fun. Spending a bunch of money is beyond any discussion, of course, and getting your wardrobe updated by getting a whole new range of clothes is included in the list! Found the creamiest shade fur ever, smashing leopard-print heels and many more. But this set of pics is about hot mess. How slouchy can be sleek, and how wonderful I managed to lens myself, lol.

My infatuation with edgy backpacks.

I own 3 sleek and cute backpacks. It is not that much. But the frequency with which one I carry each of them alternately is so high, that you can easily consider me a crazy-in-love-with-backpacks person. When I choose a backpack for me, I attempt to look for the type I would be able to wear as with the chicest pair of flats, blouse and trendy shorts as with sneakers and shabby jeans. That is why light beige python-like pleather and flower-strewn ones flew down to my shopping bag immediately. They are not just backpacks, they are chic and compatible with almost everything and the awesome thing is that they are not going to ruin the sheerness and lady-likeness of your look;)

Artsy Simplicity.

I found this dress in Platos and fell in love. Was not just a stealth, was an adorable addition to the simple-shape artsy collection of dresses in my closet. The print is outrageously rich and has a garish color pallet. To keep lavishing prints in sync with your look, you choose simple cuts. That creates a perfect balance between small parts of the look that form chic.
The necklace is the first necklace I ever made. It's "raw" but still elegant. I pair that with the simpliest tees ever and it momentously adds a stylish punch.

Edgy Bebe heels on the "hill" of style.

I fell in love with these stylish bold black Bebe heels the moment I spotted them on the shelf at the store. Since then they serve every look of mine with audacious steam-punk doze of style. That is not something from the range of current fashion obsessions or trends, because I cannot apply only one side of fashion (TREND!) to my wardrobe and looks. I tend to mix pieces from different seasons and create looks that reflect versatility of fashion. Cuz fashion is not only including trends and following these trend. That is , in my opinion, is a knowledge ,an awareness and a knack to create a stylish balance.

My coffee-cup-and-things arrangment photo "art".

Some of us say "it is stupid to take pictures of your food and drinks". It is, when the arrangement and the condition of the lensed objects are not the prettiest or on the stage of "almost devoured". But when you match a key principle for a beautiful arrangement, the pictures come out to be immensely "delicious", neat and artsy enough for us to say "mmm...beautiful!".
I am not saying I am a master of a "delicious" photos, but I think they look sleek and neat enough for posting that. That is what I call coffee-cup obsession photo art.

Fashion history studies are fun!

Sketching while studying is my pleasure. You are not just learning through visualizing objects, but also through imprinting that into your memory.

Corset studies.

A part of male costume during the Renaissance epoch.

Simple look -sleek details.

Teal blouse with an interesting jeans-like collar, that makes the blouse itself look mesmerizingly unique paired with sequins bordered black long cardigan and crystal clear artificial stone pendant.
Leopard elements in different colour palettes entered the look with a pretty clashing function , but left a downright matching effect. Leopard belt in warm shades and black-and-white leopard socks happened to be pretty in sync with my look. "Fashion should be funny" - would me my excuse. LOL
And of course, a of heart-shaped studded pointy-toe flats cannot stay unmentioned! They set off the balance of black and golden in the look and made it predominating colours.

Keep calm and blog;)

A card set with a phrase that's on everybody's lips, posters, ads, etc nowadays. Pretty mainstream and maybe annoying already, but i couldn't resist yearn to get a set for me.

Rhinestones of my heart.

Beads, rhinestones, crystals are my whole life, that cannot fit in a big box or a gigantic chest. I add some imagination and creativity "dressing" to them to reach these enchanting designs. They are not quite finished yet (findings attachment is next in a line!), but already looking forward to serve as stylish attributes , hitting around a neck;)

The same goes for those edgy itsy-bitsy pins. Soon they are going to be transformed into the completed jewelry pieces that will be turning every blazer, sweater and etc into a chic key element of your look.
