Basic Instinct






“I’m 50 years old so what!”
I've decided to dedicate my last post of 2009 to the ultimate femme fatale. Beauty shouldn't has anything to do with age but rather with feeling good about how you look at certain stages in your life. And Sharon Stone is a great example. It’s amazing to be a woman. Everything about us is something to celebrate and love about ourselves, something that can never be taken away. So ladies, cheers to us!

Rozhodla som sa, že posledný článok roku 2009 venujem primárnej femme fatale. To, či je žena krásna, by sa nemalo odvíjať od jej veku, ale od pocitu radosti prežívanej v každej novej etape nášho života. A Sharon Stone je toho skvelým príkladom. Je úžasné byť ženou. A mali by sme to patrične osláviť, mali by sme mať rady samy seba. Takže milé dámy, nazdravie. Na nás!

The next level

“Only great minds can afford a simple style.” Stendhal
Whether it is feathers, daring bunny ears, oversized bows, beads or sequins, headbands have taken the fashion world by storm. An original and stylish headband is the easiest way to dress up every outfit and take it to the next level.

Či je to perie, trúfalé zajačie ušká, nadrozmerné mašle, korálky či flitre, čelenky sa prehnali svetom módy ako obrovská búrka. Originálna a štýlová čelenka je najľahší spôsob, ako posunúť akýkoľvek outfit do ďalšieho levelu.

Merry Christmas

"Christmas. That magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance - a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved." Augusta E. Rundell
Wish you lots of love, joy and happiness. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! Love you all, xoxo

Želám vám veľa lásky, radosti a šťastia. Veselé Vianoce!!! Krásne sviatky!!! Mám vás všetkých rada, xoxo

Plain Fun

"There is nothing more frightful than imagination without taste." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Meet the uninspected. Meet the exquisite accessories by former Hermés designer Baptiste Viry. One of my favourite products in his spring/summer 2010 line is this bow-tie necklace. Bravo!

Zoznámte sa s neočakávaným. Zoznámte sa so znamenitými doplnkami bývalého návrhára pre značku Hermés Baptistom Virym. Jedným z mojich obľúbených návrhov z jeho kolekcie na jar/ leto 2010 je tento motýlikovský náhrdelník. Bravo!

Bird Call

“It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.” Aesop
I am sure you’ve noticed that it’s all about feathers this season. They can be worn on or be a part of pretty much anything: shoes, bags, hats, coats, jewelry and other garments. The key to this trend is elegance which means wearing feathers as an accent. You don't want to look like a giant bird!

Určite ste už stihli zaznamenať, že to všade navôkol šuchorí perím. Nájdete ich na topánkach, kabelkách, šperkoch, klobúkoch, kabátoch, jednoducho na všetkom. Kľúč k správnemu noseniu tohto trendu spočíva v elegancii, dôraz sa kladie na detail. Nechcete predsa pobehovať po svete vyzerajúc ako vták nadmerných rozmerov!

The Man Skirt


"I can't believe I'm asking this but above or below the knee?" Scott Schuman
It takes a certain amount of confidence in one's masculinity to wear a skirt. Some of you maybe find this trend absurd but believe or not men have been wearing skirts as part of native attire for years - the Scottish kilt, The Indian dhoti and lungi, the Greek foustanella, the Asian sarong.. And now designers started putting men in skirts and sending them down the runway. Skirts have several advantages: they are cool in the hot weather, comfortable, non-constricting and in most cases are easy to make. Two questions still remain: is the real world ready for men wearing skirts? And ladies are you willing to share the skirt?

Chce to riadnu dávku sebavedomia byť chlapom a obliecť si sukňu. Pre niekoho bude tento trend znieť absurdne, no pravda je, že muži a sukne nie je žiadnou novinkou. Stačí spomenúť škótsky kilt, indické dhoti a lungi, grécke foustanelly alebo ázijské sarongy...A teraz ich už nájdete aj na prehliadkových mólach. Sukňa ,ako taká, má niekoľko výhod: počas teplých dní je príjemnejšia a chladivejšia na tele, je pohodlnejšia na nosenie, nepriškrcuje a dá sa pomerne ľahko "vyrobiť". Zostávajú však dve otázky: je skutočný svet pripravený na muža v sukni? A čo vy dámy, ste ochotné podeliť sa o svoje sukne?

''Ugly-beautiful''




"I am most proud of my integrity and least proud of my cynicism."
From a skate-rat girl to an icon. Is it because she's alternative? Or because she wears vintage one day and couture the next and that at the same time she seems to care and not care about it? Once labeled by Vogue as ''the New Postmodern Grunge Audrey Hepburn", Chloe Sevigny could be also described as a quirky yet unique girl next door.

Z uletenej puberťáčky na skateboarde až po dnešnú módnu ikonu. Čím to asi bude..Žeby jej alternatívnosťou? Alebo nebodaj tým, že jeden deň má oblečený vintage, druhý deň couture, a pritom akoby jej to bolo jedno? Časopis Vogue Chloe Sevigny označil za" postmodernú grunge Audrey Hepburn", no myslím, že by sme ju kľudne mohli opísať aj ako čudné, no zároveň jedinečné dievča tuhľa od susedov.

Game ready

"The most challenging part to dressing well is knowing how to be elegant while being casual." Umberto Angeloni
I've already talked about me wearing hats. But sports cap, that's another story. I really try to pull it off but I'm just not the baseball hat type of girl. I think it requires the right head of hair, the right face shape and the right attitude. SHE's got it all.

Už som písala o mne a nosení klobúkov. Ale šiltovka, to je úplne o niečom inon. A aj keď sa snažím, jednoducho nie som šiltovkový typ. Zastávam totiž názor, že kvalikovať na tento druh pokrývky hlavy sa môžu len tí so správnym tvarom hlavy, správnymi obrysmi tváre a pozitívnym postojom k veci. Tak ako ONA.

An early "teese" from Winter



"It`s not about seducing men, it's about embracing womanhood."
For some people, she is a Playboy legend, for others a fashion icon. She is an inspiration for many designers, among them Narciso Rodriguez, who even tried to match her skin color to one of his fabrics. That's Dita von Teese, glorious glamour goddess seducing the world of the 21st century.

Pre niektorých ľudí je legendou Playboya, pre iných módna ikona. Je inšpiráciou pre mnohých módnych návrhárov. Taký Narciso Rodriguez sa dokonca snažil vyklonovať látku podobnú jej porcelánovej farbe pleti. Reč je o Dite von Teese, nádhernej glamúr bohyni zvádzajúcej svet 21. storočia.

Chunky Chains

"I think fashion is about suspense and surprise and fantasy. It’s not about rules." Wolfgang Joop
So here is the question: is it a purse or a necklace? One way or another, I'm madly in love with it.
PS: I know what it is but I want you to guess;)

Čo takto zahádať si? Popreťahovať mozgové závity a popracovať na predstavivosti? Čo myslíte, je to kabelka alebo náhrdelník? Tak či onak, som z toho na mäkko.
