Hold Off The Dawn


Kažu treća sreća. Ma, ništa im ja ne verujem. U teoriji je sve delovalo jednostavno - zašto u Zari platiti porez na idiote i kupiti lažnu, Made in China, maskirnu košulju, kada na Najlonu mogu lepo i patriotski da pazarim pravi military? Iako bi vam većina mojih prijatelja potvrdila da je moj duži boravak za šporetom sigurna najava smaka sveta, bila sam uporna, i čak tri puta pokušavala da ofarbam svoju vojničku košulju (klasa 2010, samo da se zna :) Naravno da je košulja bila impregnirana, da jadni vojnici ne bi pokisli, ali zato sam se ja osetila najpokislije na svetu kada sam shvatila da nema ništa od planiranog ombrovanja. Jedan nula za Zaru

Manje iz ideje i plana, a više iz čiste frustracije grabim široku belu majicu za po kući, makaze rade svoje, potom je ubacujem je u farbu koja se i dalje krčka na šporetu. Šteta da se baci. A onda - magija, radost neplaniranog - možda se košulja nije dala, ali je zato majica ispala baš kako treba! Ovu wannabe Givenchy ogrlicu sam morala da imam, opsesije su ipak opsesije. Za kraj, DIY mrežasta haljina, stari znanac, ovaj put u novoj ulozi!

They say third time’s the charm, but I don’t buy it. Everything seemed perfectly easy in theory – why paying the idiot tax for a faux, Made in China camo shirt in Zara, when I can do the patriotic deed and thrift the real military from Nylon flea market? Even though most of my friends would read my prolonged stay around the stove as a sure sign that the end of the World is coming, I was really (three times) determined to dip dye my camo shirt (class of 2010 :).  Military equipment is impregnated to keep the soldiers dry, but I surely felt as if someone has rained on my parade when I realized that the ombre camo shirt I imagined is simply not happening. Damn you Zara, you won this time!

Without an apparent plan, but 100% frustrated, I grab my stay-at-home-evenings plain white tee, cut the sleeves and dip it into the boiling dye. Nothing goes to waste. And then – the magic of the unexpected – I might not have planned it, but I’ve surely loved how my ombre tee turned out! SS 2013 obsessions are here to stay, so I simply had to have this wannabe Givenchy choker necklace. You all remember this DIY mesh dress, only this time in a different role!

Skin of the Night


Volim modnu jesen 2012. Iako je pratiti trendove postala maltene psovka, ja zaista volim kada mi neko iz sezone u sezonu zadaje (modne) zadatke. Pa još kada se poklope sa nekim ličnim ljubavima - edgy, minimalistički, a moćno - nema veće uživancije! Igra mat i sjajnih tekstura na monohromatskoj podlozi, prava su podloga za statement komade - metalik sjaj prstena i narukvice u kontrastu sa crnom OASAP ogrlicom. I naravno - ništa bez omiljenih štikli

I really fell for Fall 2012. Although being accused of following trends became something really bad these days, I really enjoy confronting new (fashion) challenges from season to season. Even better so when they are conjunct with what I love anyway - edgy, minimalistic and powerful! Statement pieces work best when put on a simplistic base, so I opted for a monochromatic play of shiny and matte textures. Metallic cuff contrasted to black, textured OASAP necklace. Oh, and don't forget your favorite pair of heels!

Dok se sređuju utisci, a bogami i fotografije sa EXITa, evo jednog prefestivalskog outfit posta. U pozadini obavezno pustite When Saints Go Machine, danske momke posle čijeg sam koncerta, još u četvrtak, uzviknula: 'Što se mene tiče, EXIT slobodno može da se završi!' Toliko je dobro bilo. 

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I still need to sort both my memories and my photos from EXIT, so this time you'll have to satisfy with a little pre-festival outfit post. I insist on playing When Saints Go Machine in the background, as these Danish boys surely stole the show this EXIT, at least for me. Although they played on the first day, after the gig I was ecstatic - This was so good that EXIT could end right now! - and I still stand behind that. That's how good it was.

Light talk

Iako sam završila arhitekturu, moja vizit-karta kaže dizajner svetla. Naravno, inspirativno je kada pišete i govorite jezikom svetla. Ipak, još je lepše kada kompanija za koju radite izlaže na Light+Building sajmu, koji se svake druge godine održava u Frankfurtu, pa imate priliku da iz prve ruke vidite šta je novo u tom magičnom svetu. Dosta priče, prelazimo na jezik svetla i senke, nadam se da ćete uživati!

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Although my diploma qualifies me as an architect, my business card says lighting designer. It's so inspiring when you write and talk a language of light! Of course, it helps if the company you work for exibits at Light+Building fair in Frankfurt, so you can keep in touch with all the novelties from this world of magic. Enough with words, let's talk the language of light and shadow...hope you'll enjoy it!


Naša uniforma za štand morala je biti u sivo-crnoj paleti boja, dovoljno, ali ne i previše formalna, a ja bih dodala  - povrh svega udobna! Meni se ovaj Max Mara top sa bogatim volanima činio kao pravi izbor, šta vi kažete? Generalni utisak je da se sa sajamskim dress codom nije previše ekspreimentisalo, pa su ovi momci i devojke predstavljali pravo osveženje. Ja sam se zaljubila u njegov Jil Sander sako od najlona, a o martinke+šorc na peglu kombinaciji da ne govorim.

Our dress code for the fair required staying somewhere in the gray area (literally!), dressing formal enough, yet not too much! And, if I might add the most important requirement - comfy enough to endure the challenges of standing and walking all day long. That's why this frill top from Max Mara seemed as a right choice. In general, there wasn't too much experimenting with formal dress code for the fair, and that's exactly why these girls and this guy made my day! Just look at his Jil Sander nylon jacket and cropped pants+DocMartens combo...simply, a breath of fresh (f)air!


Još malo (obaveznih) sivih tonova - neopren suknja iz Rima napokon je imala premijeru, a ovu ogrlicu već dobro poznajete. Ovaj sivi predmet garderobe (stvarno ne znam kako bih ga nazvala, jer ga je moguće nositi na 1001 način) obožavam, jer je kupljen za smešne pare u nekom no name butiku, a pravi je modni kameleon.

A bit more of (obligatory) grays - you already know this necklace, but the neoprene skirt from Rome has finally got into a limelight! This gray piece of clothing (I really don't know how to name it, as it can be worn in 1000 ways) is one of my favorites, as I got it dirt cheap and it's a true fashion chameleon.




Samo da znate, ovaj mališa je sada moje vlasništvo :) Za kraj, još jedna varijacija na sivu temu. // FYI, I bought this little cutie :) And one more gray variation for the very end...
