ARMY OF ME

floral Marni-esque top by Zara,army mini shorts by Mavi,leather jacket by Roman(so very old),new boots by Top Shop





stand up
you've got to manage
i won't sympathize
anymore


and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me


you're allright
there's nothing wrong
self-sufficience please!
and get to work


and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me














you're on your own now
we won't save you
your rescue-squad
is too exhausted


and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me


(Björk's "army of me" song)

{spring whites: bellevue hill house}

. . . even more than the spring whites and streams of light, open shelves and artful displays, textured rugs and moody artwork, adore most, the pretty and perfect touches of lavender . . .





{p.s.} also love the antique mirrors and open shelving in the powder room, which reminds a little of this perfume display

. . . a million projects, appointments and e-mails and the week has been flying by at an astonishing rate -- very much looking forward to slowing things down over the weekend and even more so, for summer weekends filled with seaside dreams . . .

Tweeder Photo - Self Portrait

(photo by RidingPretty)

As proclaimed in the post title this is my Tweeder photo!

There are so many Tweed Rides taking place all over that I was incredibly inspired to do this shoot. I really wanted to share my 'Tweedy' vintage outfit. And especially the vintage tweed and leather case on my back bicycle rack - it is so handsome and very exquisitely made. I've never seen anything like it.

Plus, I've never been any good at self portraits. This is what came of a long, rainy week. That and my desire to learn - a) use a new big tripod, b) utilize my borrowed 3D camera, c) set up of this impromptu photo studio in my home. I really got to feel comfortable in my own skin for once (with no one watching me being so goofy posing !!!) Then practice, practice to get it all to come together. So much trial and error. I really admire all those who can do their own photos of them selves. Maybe I'm just picky but I hated 99.9% of the photos I took!

p.s. I have a few more photos (that came out okay) in some other fav vintage outfits that I will get around to sharing with you too.

{shopping: vintage frame chalkboards}

. . . after discovering this beautiful vintage frame chalkboard in gosia's shop last year, have been rather obsessed with them and open gosia's weekly updates hoping to find another as lovely, until this morning, when this one appeared . . .

-- and was gone nearly immediately -- and so the search continues . . .

Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you baby
And don't you know


Don't you cry tonight
I still love you
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight








Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinking of you
And the times we had ... baby


And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tomight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight





And please remember that I never lied
And please remember
How I felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby


And don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight...

VOGUE TURKIYE FIRST ISSUE- COVER IS JESSICA STAM

Vogue Turkiye's editor Seda Domaniç has the first issue's first copy in her hand :)

Today there was a move at IstinyePark for selling the first 1000 editions of Vogue Turkiye.It is Jessica Stam on the cover and the first edition belongs to Vogue Turkiye's editor Seda Domaniç.I am so excited for our new magazine in Turkiye.I hope Vogue Turkiye will be one of the best versions of Vogue all around the world.My first question is: why they choose Stam for the very first issue?It could be anyone else's face but I am sure they choose her for a reason.I think soft colours and simple sophisticated photograph chosen for the cover is fantastic.My dream first cover was Natasha Polly but hey,its ok!
