i'm here

it was a windy night at the danube bank, we went to the "palace of arts" to a jazz concert. the night started when we were told that all the tickets are sold out, and instead of leaving we decided to explore the building. after taking a picture on the top floor terrace, we still had time to visit the gallery, and enjoy some finnish art.

i can fell the spring fizzing under my feet. to every call i jump up and go, take every chance, and get as many new impressions as possible, i try to be inspired of everything.

designing feathery hats and capes with bows. loving the sun.

nostalgy

my sis and me. approximately 2 years ago. we look like some kinda drunk bitches on the annual "Miss Police Officer" election.
tonight we're going to a quite popular bar to see our friend playing. we almost always go out together, but this time i think will be special. we'll have old true friends around, and there will be no stress, noone will be uncomfortable.
it's like we're back in time. those two years had gone by way too fast for me to be able to handle the changes around me (and grow up to my age, i guess). but tonight i don't have to worry.
everything will happen as it should. all positive.

happenings

Amazingly good time.
We spent a night making photos of each other with my sister and my friend Juli. I don't really look like that image of me, but I love the atmosphere of this picture. It didn't even need photoshop.
By the way we've found out that you can enter free to the Budapest Zoo until 08. February if you dress as a bear. So guess what, I'm gonna be the polar bear. We're gonna draw ourselves little black noses and wear all sort of furry things we find at home.

Things

I just realized that it takes approximetly 8 minutes ad 54 seconds for me to get home from the nearest train station. I know it by listening to lucky seven by dave holland quintet, one of my fav jazz song.
Yesterday eveneing a tea with milk and cinnamon had the most intensive effect on me. All my stressed thoughts suddenly disappeared, and I felt I had the power to do whatever I want. It didn't last long enough though, but I think I'm gonna keep it in my daily routine. Tastes very good by the way.

Baroque I.

New task at school: baroque. I got so excited. I'll have to design and sew a three-piece mini collection, so I'm doing some research. I found amazing baroque style wallpapers as inspiration, and this pretty medallion-like detail caught my eyes. I love the collars from that era (not exactly the ones like a mill-wheel, those look quite funny. I mean the lace ones, with pearls, the real kitschy ones...), and I'd like to make a real medallion like this to make them special, or use it like a print on something.
I titled the post baroque I., cause I'm sure I'm gonna share plenty of my ideas and photos during the semester.

String-girls

Aren't they pretty? It was a task at school to do some research in folk-arts, and find something you see fantasy in. Among others I found some string-patterns like the ones below. And it just clicked in. So obvious! Just turn some around, match a top and a bottom. And you get pretty princesses, so easy to make, to sew on your skirt. Or dress. I will probably try them on one of my fur hats.

By the way it's still raining. aarrggh.

today

I made pancakes in the morning, and pasta with garlic sauce for lunch. My father just arrived home from Belgium, and I got some apple-flavoured beer (fav kind), and sand from the seashore. (I collect sand from all over the world. I'm quite proud of my Gobi-desert sample... not like i had anything to do to get it.)

About the outfit:

This wasn't the plan, but turned out satisfying me. I found the fake fur collar in a second hand shop some weeks ago, it probably was on a coat, but I found it lying lonely in a basket (full of treasures). It's my new true love. So special and surprising on everything. I realized that i can put a scarf in it and make a bow. Now that scarf is changing with my mood.

Actually most of my outfit is second hand/vintage, my blouse is an old ripped sleeping gown (which I cut, but not going to fix the holes on it. I'ts like an old house with broken windows and dusty faded armchairs with moths.)
