A lepo piše. Na etiketama, na netu (za nas, Google domaćice) - vuna se ne pere. Znam ja to, naravno, ali mi se, iskreno, nisu davale pare za hemijsko čišćenje pantalona koje sam na Najlon pijaci platila dinarski dvocifreno. Bilo je i hepiendova, štofovi koji nisu od čiste vune sasvim su se lepo prali na mašinskom programu za fin veš. Što, naravno, ovde nije bio slučaj. Ja sam zamislila lepe, oversize, moćne muške pantalone, ali one su odlučile da odu na dečije odeljenje. Početna zamisao su bile ove Céline lepojke sa zipovima (ta revija mi je, inače, totalni pobednik za sezonu jesen-zima 2012.) , i nisam imala nameru da od nje odustajem. Kao pravi jarac, tvrdoglavo sam naterala vernu šnajderku Desu da ovaj DIY Céline projekat isteramo do kraja. Možda sam krenula negde drugde, ali srećna sam gde sam završila, šta vi kažete?
Da ne zaboravim ni ostale sjajne ( i bukvalno :) stvari - pre svega, candy clutch, plen iz Margiela x H&Mkolekcije. Zatim, još jedna wannabe Givenchy ogrlica...zlatna je bila usamljena, morala sam da uzmem i srebrnu. Za kraj, moj kašmirski oversize oblak (toliko je mekan i fin, izbor reči nimalo slučajan!), u savršenoj camel boji. The Raveonettes su tu jer ćemo u februaru da vrištimo iz prvog reda, valja na vreme krenuti sa pripremama:)
For those who know to read, it is written in capital letters. On labels, internet (where else would Google housewife look for a piece of advice?) - don't wash woolen clothes. Of course I know that but, honestly, I did not want to pay for dry cleaning five times the price I paid for the pants on Nylon flea market. In my defense, there were couple of happy endings - if the clothes are not 100% wool, they can usually be washed just fine on delicate cycle. Which, of course, wasn't the case here. I had beautiful and powerful, oversize masculine pants in mind, only to end up with something you'd most likely find in Kids department. I wanted those Céline zip pants (that collection is definitely my favorite of Fall 2012 season), and I had no intention of letting go. Stubborn as one Capricorn can be, I persuaded my faithful seamstress Desa to continue with this DIY Céline project.What do you say? I might have started in one direction, but I'm happy where I ended :)
And let's not forget the rest - shiny candy clutch, another Margiela x H&M trophy in my collection. Then, another wannabe Givenchy choker necklace, this time in silver, you all remember the golden one. Last, but not the least, my cashmere oversized cloud (yes, it is that soft and fluffy) in the perfect camel color. The Raveonettes are here because I'll be seeing them live in couple of weeks, so I'm practicing sing-alongs by then :)

Pre neki dan na Twitteru je neko prokomentarisao 'Smanjite doživljaj, toplo vreme neće nikuda još narednih 6 do 8 meseci.' Setivši se protekle nedelje na Tvrdjavi, slatko sam se nasmejala - porodice u izlasku, prijatelji na pikniku...Ipak, najzabavnije je bilo posmatrati parove koji su tu evidentno došli u potrazi za intimom u prirodi, a završili nekoliko metara udaljeni od drugih parova, sa istim namerama o intimi i prirodi :)
Naravno, ni mi nismo odoleli. Da Milan i ja ispijamo blogerske kafice već vam je poznato, ovaj put nam se pridružila i Jovana. Jedna obično-neobična nedelja sa prijateljima, mirisi nedeljnog ručka u Gradiću+bakica u prolazukoja učestvuje u creative directingu Milanovog snimanja, included :)
Opsednuta sam fluffy stvarčicama i jedva sam čekala da dodje ovaj mint džemperić sa Oasap-a. Ostatak je iz thrift whore foldera - Max Mara kašmirski žaket koji sam pazarila na Limundu (osećaj je kao da obukli oblak na sebe, i to sve za 1000 din), dok su marama, suknja, 80s naočare i vintage Cartier torba stigli sa Najlon pijace.
'Calm down a bit, warm weather is not going anywhere, at least for the upcoming 6-8 months'...This is a tweet that really made me laugh the other day. After a long and snowy winter, spring (or, should I better say - summer!) came quite unexpectedly and lured so many people to spend their weekend outdoors. The Petrovaradin fortress was crowded with Sunday reunion families, friends picnicking around...but it was funniest to watch all those couples who came searching for some intimacy and nature, but, being surrounded by many other couples with similar intentions, could have found none :)
Of course, we couldn't say no to this perfect opportunity to snap some pics outside. You already know that Milan et moi have this blogger coffee habit, but this time we took Jovana with us, as well. Here are the records of one (extra)ordinary Sunday, spent with friends...Sunday lunch smells + old lady passing by and enjoying being involved as guest creative director for Milan's photoshoot, included :)
I've been quite obsessed with fluffy things lately - I couldn't wait for this Oasap mint sweater to arrive. The rest comes from the thrift whore folder - vintage Max Mara cashmere jacket I bought on Limundo (Serbian eBay) for 10 euros, while pleated skirt, scarf, 80s Polaroid shades and vintage Cartier bag are my finds from Nylon flea market.

Kada dođe zima, modne blogerke uvek se nađu na tapetu zbog fotkanja u neprimereno tankoj garderobi. Been there, done that. I ja sam se pošteno nasmrzavala u par navrata, ali sve za dobru fotografiju. Ovaj put, imala sam sasvim drugi problem - iako se napolje belela zimska idila na skandinavskih -15, u Jovaninom studiju je bilo pakleno vruće. Milan,Jovana i ja rashlađivali smo se hladnim crnim pivom sa kriškom narandže koje toplo preporučujem, a evo i kako je Jovana videla moju retro inspiraciju svojim objektivom.
U centru pažnje ovaj put je asimetrični sako od sirove svile, remek-delo moje šnajderke. Nas dve sarađujemo još od male mature i ja moju Desu ne bih ni za šta menjala. Pre svega zato što ima razumevanja za sve moje modne fiks ideje i snove, a onda još i veštine da ih sprovede u (remek-)delo.
Fashion bloggers are often accused of wearing clothes inappropriately thin for snowy winter setting they sometimes choose for their photo-shoots. Been there, done that. I had my fair share of frozen limbs, but, hey, we would do anything for a good shot. This time, my problem was entirely different - in contrast to Scandinavian picture-perfect -15 degrees outside, it was infernally hot in Jovana's studio. In our fight against winter hot, Milan, Jovanaet moi reached for some chilled dark beer with a slice of orange, a combo I would warmly recommend. This is my retro inspiration, seen through Jovana's lens.
This time an attention stealer surely is that asymmetric silk jacket, so meticulously crafted by my seamstress. We've been collaborating since my prom night, and I would never change her. I love my Desa both for supporting all my impossible fashion ideas and dreams and having the skill to turn them into reality.
