dioralop/antarctica..

choosing a hardcore gig over a fashion show came as a pretty good idea for me last week..and although i don't have an excuse for not going to the other two nights of my small country's most desirable fashion event, it was the all new internet feature that did me a favor - live streaming directly from the catwalk. there's certainly a difference in watching your fav designers' new collections from the edge of the runway and lurking at home behind your laptop while cursing the lousy connection..but not being surrounded by a bunch of unimportant faces and names you don't even want to know, makes the decision quite obvious. 

anyway, my favorites scored once again, andreja bistričić staying true to herself with a totally grungy collection, and jasmina arnautović stepping into mens apparel this time which pieces i'd gladly add to my wardrobe. since there's obviously no lack of inspiration and talent in this girls, i wish that their true fans like myself would soon be able to trade the wishful thinking for a piece of their creations..

ruby tuesday..

some kind of cheerful winterish feeling gets over me while looking at this pics..it probably means i'm finally finished with this years summer mourning (yes, i promise). anyway, haven't seen a lot of her lately, at least not something that would caught my attention..so this editorial comes as a quite nice inspirational surprise.

so i wasn't at the premiere last week, shame on me, but it sure felt the same watching the pearl jam 20 movie last night..with a couple of highly emotional moments, it reminded me how much i owe to this band..and though it may sound like the usual crapy fan stuff, i really love ed, stone, jeff, mike and matt. and cameron crowe for directing this anthology piece. after doing my two all time favorite movies, i really had no doubts about this one.

reading aldous huxley and jane austen simultaneously can be real fun..especially if you're a depressive optimist or a realistic dreamer..sounds weird? maybe, but life isn't all black or white. enjoying it both ways is when you realize it's meaning.
