Outfit: Uptown Top Rankin'

Hello dearies!

I haven't posted in what might be a year in Internet time... but I have been doing what we all do, studying, working, sleeping and 'being tired'. All at the same time.
Some of the highlights since my last post were... a man in a fur hat walking down the road with a brief case in one hand and a mouth harmonica in the other; a shifty man in a military-style hoodie with a huge rubbish bag and an equally huge TV inside; Old pictures of Venice by Canaletto and his rivals; Stories about antique spectacles; a vintage 'salad' green lamb fur coat by Prada that I have mentally already bought... but physically it might not even fit me. Opening a glass door of a cafe and having wind blow all the delicate snowflakes inside... A very magical moment, but unfortunately I couldn't see anything, as I was holding the door... so my imagination constructed the rest of the 'picture'.
Last but not least imprint that I still have in my mind was left by two chocolate labrador puppies being clumsy, silly and playful on a curb. (how little do they need to be happy and give happiness!) It was like watching a faulty tape, they jump back up on the curb, fall off, bite each other, jump back up again... Fall off, bite each other. And people were stopping by in astonishment. Magic :)

Outfit: Little green dress

Here’s what I wore yesterday. Yesterday was a long, tiresome but fun day. I bumped into some girls in Covent Garden who asked whether they could take a picture of me for the Sartorialist (Really? Oh my god!).

In the evening I went to see the strangest performance- Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. Still can’t figure out whether it was good or bad, funny or sad. The unusual bit was that it was an all-male cast. The sad thing was that the jokes were not funny but people behind me just couldn’t stop laughing. I did admire the technique of dancing, the elasticity and the ability to be so in control of one’s body. After all, you don’t see men in ballet skirts wearing lipstick everyday. But maybe there is a reason for that.

I like dark colourful pieces. I wanted to dress down but still look feminine; the idea was to look somewhat casual and formal at the same time. To be able to wear this on the street during the day without looking like I've tried too hard and to go to the theatre in the evening.

Green dress- Zara
