The Best Blogs Ever

It’s time for me to add one more post. About it I was thinking for a while. I could add more fashion resorts for 2013 but thought that if I did that this blog would be more or less just a simple fashion blog. It was quite difficult task for me because fashion world is something that I know the best. I was thinking about cool stuff that I can show to You… The most awesome, funny and just fabulous things but then I realized that other people have so much more to show. So I made a list of THE BEST BLOGS EVER:

1   Kim Jong-il looking at things (It’s my favorite one. That’s why it’s number ONE in the list)

2    Cash cats (It’s just hilarious... A blog that doesn’t really need an explanation)

 http://cashcats.biz/

3    Fuck you very much (It’s really warm blog where two friends are putting pictures and their opinions on everything)

 http://fuckyouverymuch.dk/

And the others:

Lanvin / Resort 2013

 

“Pajamas to me are the best and the most intimate pieces of clothing,” said Alber Elbaz of his 2013 resort collection, “it’s about comfort and new volume.”

 

Balmain / resort 2013

Olivier Rousteing went to a resort while he was thinking about designing Balmain resort—Miami’s South Beach. He returned to Paris with a head full of Art Deco district architecture, sunbaked pastels, black-and-white pool tiles, palm trees, diners, Cadillacs, and indelible memories of “talking in clubs for hours to so many incredible people from Cuba and Puerto Rico, who were all, like me, mixed race.” Needless to say, he had the greatest time—and returned to the studio intent on making “a happy, summery collection” directly influenced by every detail of his holiday: the energy, the optimism, the color, right down to the raffia and wickerwork café beach chairs he’d lolled on all those long, hot Miami nights last winter.

 

 

 

 

 

My Diary. Tattoos

Recently I was thinking of having a tattoo. I was thinking about it that long that was even looking through images and creating my own designs. I would like to have a quite big drawing around my shoulder area but again... I know that I should think about future and that sometimes I might be forced to hide it. Plus when I'll get old and wrinkled? what will I do then? Maybe I should consider a small one just to get that I want but still not visible to others? But I can't imagine myself only with something small. On the other hand I'm not sure if i really want a massive drawing on my skin. 

Then I found this really cool blog that title says:  "Ink.the only thing i would ever inject into my self.". Over there I found a lot of original tattoos. The designs are really creative. After seeing that i saw then i started thinking that even if I got older with some of them I wouldn't feel stupid.

After a while I saw this one and fell in love with the collar idea. The tattoo design is really beautiful too but I'm not a big fan of flowers, hearts and similar sentimental stuff so it can't be right for me.

And then I saw these beauties....  First was the one in red. It is not that clever idea but because I've never seen anything like that before it left me a big impression. Who could have thought that making your tattoo in red (not typical black) can change the whole  look so extreme?

Finally... White ink tattoos... When i saw these i just couldn't believe my eyes... I fell in love with these and started thinking about tattoo seriously. if i had a collar made of white ink it would look amazing not even in my everyday style but even with fancy dresses. White looks really aesthetic and not that visible. It's something new, something eccentric and elegant at the same time.

Jacqueline Cullen

 I've found something really awesome that I've never seen before (at least looking that good). I don't think that I have to describe these pieces because they are talking for themselves... But for those who like reading I'm adding few words that were written by Italian Vogue. 

"Jacqueline Cullen has broken every rule in the book that has tied the use of Jet to jewels used by widows as 'mourning jewelry'. This extremely rare fossil exploded in the times that Queen Victoria, widow to Prince Albert, wore only black jewelry.

The queen unknowingly became a “trend setter” in her choosing of only jet black pieces for ornamentation. Today, Jacqueline has revised and changed the meaning of this material that is currently not well-known or commonly used.

She has expanded its connotations and power and has enhanced its imperfections - things that were considered insurmountably imperfect until recently. Jacqueline finds inspiration in nature and reinterprets whatever she sees with fluid forms characterized by fractures, fissures, and cracks that she fills with cascades of yellow gold and diamonds.

Today, Jacqueline Cullen is one of the most extraordinary artists in Britain bringing back prehistoric and sensual materials and drawing in an audience that is open to delving into a more contemporary side of jewelry."

Plus Size Bodies, What Is Wrong With Them Anyway?

As evidenced by last year’s Vogue Italia spread, naked plus size models tend to get people talking. Katya Zharkova is the latest girl to shed her clothes, and she’s making quite a statement.

Zharkova snagged an 8-page editorial for Plus Model Magazine, in which she appears totally naked…and surrounded by captions with controversial statistics. For example: “Twenty years ago the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today she weighs 23% less.” And also: “Most runway models meet the Body Mass Index physical criteria for Anorexia.”

Of course, these stats can’t totally be taken for face value. There’s no mention of the weight of the average woman 20 years ago as compared to now, just that of models. In addition, the criteria for anorexia involves more than just a specific BMI. That said, these numbers are still jarring. The photos are also jarring — not because of the nakedness or Zharkova’s body, but because of the use of an anonymous (we never see her face) straight size model that Zharkova holds and lies on.

What’s the point of the editorial? The mag explains:

The answer to the question is this, there is nothing wrong with our bodies. We are bombarded with weight-loss ads every single day, multiple times a day because it’s a multi- billion dollar industry that preys on the fear of being fat. Not everyone is meant to be skinny, our bodies are beautiful and we are not talking about health here because not every skinny person is healthy.

What we desire is equality to shop and have fashion options just like smaller women. Small women cannot be marketed to with pictures of plus-size women, why are we expected to respond to pictures of small size 6 and 8 women? We don’t! When the plus size modeling industry began, the models ranged in size from 14 to 18/20, and as customers we long for those days when we identify with the models and feel happy about shopping.
