Featured In Grazia ''Easy Shop''

Zadovoljstvo mi je da sekciju ''Features & Press'' osvežim izdanjem koje u svom naslovu ima prefiks ''Grazia''. Naime, u aktuelnom specijalnom izdanju Grazia ''Easy Shop''-a, koji je od danas u prodaji, našla se i moja intervju-šoping lista u kojoj se bavim predlozima na temu mode, kozmetike, knjiga i putovanja za ovo proleće. Da ne bih isuviše otkrivala ostavljam vas sa par gvir-fotografija, dok vas detaljniji uvid čeka na prvom kiosku. 

Do idućeg posta uživajte u prazničnim danima...Vaša B.

 Featured in special issue of Grazia ''Easy Shop'' for may-july (Serbian edition).

Here are some ''inside'' photos. Until next post greetings for all...Yours B.

New ''home'' for my jewelry collection

Večeras vas, dragi moji, ponovo puštam u onaj svoj mali omeđeni svet znan kao i ''moja soba'', sa željom da vam prikažem novi komad enterijera iste. Naime, nakon duge i neuspešne potrage za komadom nameštaja koji bi mi poslužio u svrhe odlaganja i čuvanja moje skromne kolekcije nakita, rešila sam da svoju zamisao prenesem na papir i prosledim je svom ujaku, koji se bavi proizvodnjom nameštaja (''Proizvodnja nameštaja po želji''). Koja nedelja kasnije, moj nakit je dobio svoj novi ''dom'', u vidu crne komode sa srebrnim detaljima (ne bi li se slagala sa ostatkom nameštaja u sobi). Želeći da vas inspirišem da i sami osmislite kutak za svoj nakit i nepovratno se oslobodite kutija i kutijica, pružam vam detaljan uvid u izgled pomenute komode. Ujedno, biće to i prilika da zavirite u moju nakit-kolekciju.
Kao i uvek, radujem se vašim utiscima.

Do idućeg posta, veliki poljubac za sve...Vaša B.

After a long and unsuccessful search for a piece of furniture that would serve the purpose of ''storage'' of my modest  jewelry collection, I decided to bring my idea to paper and forward it to my uncle, who has his own company for producing furniture. Few weeks later, my jewelry got  new''home'' in the form of black commode with silver accents (in order to match the rest of the furniture in my room). Wanting to inspire you to design your own place for jewelry and permanently get rid of boxes and other similary stuff, I give you a detailed snapshot view of the my new commode. At the same time, it will be an opportunity to peek into my jewelry-collection.

As always, I look forward to your impressions.
Until next post, a big kiss for all your ... B.

Simple Shapes & Non Simple Colors

Moj odabir poslednjeg outfita bio je vođen dvema smernicama: jednostavnost i kolorit. Primećujem kako sve češće posežem za kombinacijama koje u svom opisu poseduju upravo prvu navedenu karakteristiku. Definisaću to kao želju da složenost svog karaktera potirem jednostavnošću svojih svakodnevnih izdanja. Da jednostavnost ne bi prešla u ''dosadno'', odlučila sam se za boje proleća: jarke, ali smirene, upečatljive ali odmarajuće. Bez nakita i drugih modnih dodataka. Jednostavni krojevi uz nejednostavne boje. Nekad sasvim dovoljno. Do idućeg posta....Vaša B.

My choice of last outfit was led by two guidelines: simplicity and colors. I notice how more often I reach for combinations in which simplicity play the main role. I will defined that as a desire to wipe out the complexity of my character with the simplicity of my daily outfits. To make sure that simplicity does not exceed into the ''boring'', I decided to wear colors of spring : bright but calm, restful but impressive. No jewelry and other fashion accessories. Simple patterns with non simple colors. Just enough. Until next post .... Yours B.

An ode to Spring

Image by Jamie Wdziekonski. We choose this image, as everything is bud and bloom in our world. Close not your eyes to the joy and bliss of nature's spring. Fashion is awake - floral blouses and trousers are everywhere!

The Artist, Peter Wiesman

Sketch by German artist, Peter Wiesmann. We are off to the 27 international Hyères festival of fashion and photography. At the Hyeres Festival one meets the most unusual, individual characters of fashion and photography. I heard news on the wind that the Hyeres festival was one of the first to recognise the extraordinary talents of Victor and Rolf.

We are hoping the weather will be fine for swimming. I plan to relax after the festival with sister and friends at our family house in Hyeres - the oldest resort town along the French riviera.

The Artist, Toni Frissel

Here are faces that I have found memorable. If they are not all as happy as kings, it is because in this imperfect world and these hazardous times, the camera's eye, like the eye of a child, often sees true. ―Toni Frissell

Frissel, the eminent American photo-journalist and Vogue's first female staff photographer. Frissel began her professional career as a fashion photographer for Vogue from 1931 - 1942 and Harper's Bazaar from 1941 - 1950. My sister kindly pointed out over tea this morning that Toni Frissel also volunteered with the American Red Cross, and that in 1953 she became Sports Illustrated first female staff member. For those interested. Read more on Toni Frissell HERE.Image by Toni Frissel.

Dynamics Of Spring

Ćudljivost godišnjeg doba u kojem smo dozvoljava mi da u razmaku od samo dva posta iz gumenih čizmi uskočim u sandale. Nazvala bih to: modnom dinamikom proleća. Kada smo već kod sandala, ovogodišnju sezonu isth otvorila sam svojim novim"Overboard" Naughty Monkey parom. Verujem da se sećate ovog sjajnog američkog brenda, koji sam vam predstavila početkom prošle jeseni u OVOM postu. Ukoliko vam se dopadaju trk na Nordstorm gde ih možete naručiti. Ostatak kombinacije je posve jednostavan, doduše začinjen jarkom bojom pantalona, inače ručno rađenih. Bela košulja da umiri celu priču, i glomazna ogrlica kao jedini komad nakita koji preferiram ovog proleća. Još jedna aprilska subota je za nama...Uživajte u ostatku vikenda...Vaša B.

Variable weather allows me to jump from rubber boots into sandals, in just two outfit posts. I would call it: the dynamics of spring fashion. Speaking of sandals, I opened this season with my new pair of "Overboard" Naughty Monkey sandals. I believe you remember this great American brand, which I have presented last fall in THIS post. If you like them, visit Nordstorm where you can order them. The rest of the combination is quite simple, albeit spiced with bright color of custom made pants. White shirt to calm the whole story, and massive necklace as the only piece of jewelry that I prefer this spring. Another April's Saturday is behind us...
Enjoy in the rest of the weekend ... Yours B.

Late Spring

Images: Here are some fashion images by Nicole Neumann for the weekend. We are still travelling. Back to normal blogging next week. We leave you with a late spring poem by Judith Wright.

Late Spring
The moon drained white by day
lifts from the hill
where the old pear-tree fallen in storm
springs up in blossom still.

Women believe in the moon:
this branch I hold
is not more white and still than she
whose flower is ages old,
and so I carry home
flowers from the pear
that makes such obstinate tokens still
for fruit it cannot bear.

Autumn In April

Usporeni, lenji april koji miriše na oktobar. Zbunjeno gledamo u pravcu proleća i pitamo se gde se iskralo. Omiljeno ćebe i dalje nam je pod rukom, dok se par gumenih čizmi suši u hodniku. Kišobran nam je jedini must komad, dok za ostatkom kombinacije tragamo u odeljku sa zimskim komadima, koje smo tako optimistično spakovali još sa prvih 20 stepeni u plusu. Dani koje boji letargija, i koji zvuče kao oluk po kojem kiša svira jedan te isti takt.
Jesen u sred proleća. Jesen u aprilu. 

Slow, lazy April that smells like October. Where the spring has sneaked out, we are wondering. A favorite blanket is still under our arm, while a pair of rubber boots is drying in the hallway.The only must piece is umbrella. 

Days in the color of lethargy, and in the sound of a roof where the rain is playing one and the same clock speed. Autumn in the middle of spring. Autumn in April.
