Eternal Marilyn
For the 50th anniversary of her death today I can't miss a post in which I tell how legendary, worshipful and eternal is what she created in her life - even on screens or in fashion. Marilyn blonde, Diamonds are a girl's best friend, bloodred lips, emphatic eyelines and mascara, Chanel No5...many-many images came to our mind associated with the name Marilyn Monroe. And if this wouldn't be enough, in 1999 People Magazine chose her the sexiest woman of the 20th century.

Don't stop till they reach their dreams
I love creating things, reinterpreting old, unworn, unused stuff even for my own happiness or for someone else's. This time I made a tee for my best friend in occasion of a concert we were attending at.
For primary commodity I used a big unworn white Levi's shirt my father gave me.
I cut off all the hemmed edges at the bottom, at the collar and at the sleeves too.
First I wanted to make a tee with sleeves but then I decided to cut them off too. And it looks way much better in this way. I marked the line through I had to cut with a textile chalk. It's hard to see in the photo so I strenghtened it in the computer. I stapled the tee with pins together not to move and cut the unwanted parts off.
I printed the photo which I wanted to use in black and white and I sticked it to a cartbord to strenghten it.
I strained the tee to the photo and drew it on with a black textile marker.
At this point my textile marker got empty so I had to interrupt my work and travelled to buy an other one.
I marked the proper line, stapled the back and the front together with pins and started to fringe.
My friend wore it at the concert last thursday and we had a chance to meet and sign it with Pierre and David from Simple Plan, the ones on her shirt. How lucky is she!

One bag never enough
I'm pretty choosy if it's about bags, but now i'm obsessed with 3 pieces. Of course they're from different categories - even in price or quality. The first one on my wishlist is a Chanel one from Bombay Matiers d'art collection. The shape is perfect, the colours are in harmony together and the print reminds me a henna pattern - maybe if I would win the lottery.. The second is a Mulberry Del Rey bag which for me seems as successful and perfect as the Alexa bag and this deep wine tone is amazing. The third one is more available and down to earth, a Zara shopper bag with perfect shape, size and colour to fit with every day's rushing life.

Shinin
Blake Lively seems to become quite iconic with her style and appearance as most famous designers prefer to be shown at her side such as Christian Louboutin, Jason Wu or even Karl Lagerfeld himself. Trustworthy, Blake is incredible as in Gossip Girl as in everyday life with her particular taste in fashion and style, who would not love her?
She can even put a smile on Karl Laverfeld's face..
And as on tv screens, in everyday life she is also glamorous, and she cares about not to take an inpleasant picture about her which, to be honest, is really rare and evaluated..
