sidenote: to fully appreciate this letter you have to zoom in.  there are some actual cool things there.

magic

ok, so it doesn't really reflect my clothes, at least i can't see it, but it does effect me. i was raised on these stories about wizards and witches, good and bad. i still want to be a one and even though i'm turning 16 this month i'm still waiting for my hogwards letter. it's just how i roll :)

love,

london

obviously. the street style in london is just amazing. the biggest factor for my insanity for this place is my insanity for this place. at least that's what i think. if you want the full story there are posts just marked london. one or two and you'll get the idea. i want to live and study there, then work, retire and die. this city fills me with the positive chills of energy and good memories. and the places i have seen there are just the most wonderful. a market full of handmade things, blooming orchids in the middle of february, the view of themes from tate modern. and all those little things like cinnabons or using my cute card case for oyster. all these things are just the best parts of me and i want to keep them close. in 3 years i'll definitely living in london :)

love,

knitting

i love knitting. now i'm in the process of making the biggest piece yet. i'm knitting a shawl-scarf. colourful with stripes and pompoms. it's pretty cool. i'm going to show you when it's finished. some more maybe... anyway, it's very relaxing for me. try it. just do. even if you are a guy. in which case welcome :) i hope you like this... (really, why are you here? please tell me :)

love,

jumpers

it's an absolute must in my daily life, basically, i can't really function with my arms not covered. in total i might have a guilty number of around 15 jumpers. isn't that insane? it is, but i need them. at least some of them are quite interesting, last buy: ducks in flight (weeeirdo alert from a mile). i prefer these extra big, perfectly a man one :) i would love to be able to knit one for example. maybe this winter?

love,

xoxo

imagination
obviously. that's kind of needed for this job. and i'm proud of mine. it's a treasure to have a great one and i think that mine is quite nice :)

inteligence
as one of my pictures says it's incredibly sexy. and sexy is good :)
that's a kind of shout-out to all of my very intelligent girlfriends, remember this is what the guys dig :P (imeanreallyreally)
proud.

love,

heels

or more the lack of them. i'm quite tall (5'9'') and i look a bit unusual as i am, so i don't really wear heels. the best shoes: converse classic ankle reds. but i do like to wear heels. my favourite pair is from topshop. they're wedges and i have never had such comfy shoes.

i pretty much always draw my models in heels, especially if they are wearing a dress. i love the way they look on your foot and the amazing sliming effect they give to your legs. they are wonderful and how boys react to them is just priceless :P

love,

xoxo

sidenote: i really like this design. probably my favourite letter.

graphics
my sister is into graphics, like a lot, she studies them :). and i love it. met them though her and loved it. right now i try to experiment with them. i really want to use it in my personal project. could look interesting. an you can just start it yourself. it's not that hard you know :)

love you,

xoxo

fantasy & fairy tails

one of the first things i remember about my drawings and childhood in general are fairy tails from my imagination. i used to love princesses (some of them are that bad now, bit of disney is always good), there was even a time that i wanted to be one. i love any old tails and legends really. have you heard of brave? the new disney film? it's quite good actually, scotland, castles, bears and big horses :) i really like the greek myths or any kind of old legend connected to my neighbourhood for example. if you know your roots you can easily broaden your perspectives and maybe discover something new and inspiring about them :)

try it out.

love,

end

there has been a lot of ends in my life, and i'm only 16. i hate it to it's core. i can't really adapt to totally new situations too quickly, and sometimes i'm expected to. i'm very introverted and not quite sociable (or at least not as some of my friends), i can't really open up and when there is a major change, usually the end of something, i tend to get into my little cave and stay there. i have to work on that cause i have some big problems from that. 

anyway. what i wanted to tell you:

end can be a start of something else.

get some thought from that. 

can't do that for you.

i'm only 16.

love,

xoxo

doodles
another obvious if you're here long enough, or you read some of the older posts. i love to draw and i doodle all the time. at math class - constantly. maybe that's why i get such bad grades...? anyway, some interesting examples. last year i managed to plant a whole page of field poppies and the periodic table (like each atom) on chemistry... yeah, i love it. it helps me concentrate and it can be a major inspiration for some cool things. for example the doodles that i drawn on the covers of my notebooks are going to be turned into fabrics for my personal project this year. isn't this great? you can see them here: doodles, doodles... and more doodles.

my advice for today: just get a pen and a little paper and draw carelessly. it's a lot of fun and it helps to develop your brain, especially imagination! just go, go, draw!

see ya,

love you,

xoxo

sidenote: i'm terrible at this. ten letters behind. need to catch up.

colour

well, you know me long enough to be sure that this was pretty obvious. i love almost every colour. not every combination though. you may remember the post about me getting angry about possibly the ' 'granniest' (can you say that??) combination ever. as a matter of fact it is quite trendy this a/w season, i've warmed up a bit to it. but it has to be on good clothes. also the combination of blue and a lot of brown and green doesn't look good for me. which is quite weird considering the fact that i'm a ravenclaw. for all of you that don't know (how? how?) brown and blue are the colours of this house. anything else? well the colours are quite difficult to style for some people (i know too many walking examples who should educate themselves on this topic) but i grew up colourful so now it's pretty natural for me. 

basically, i would be nothing without a splash of colour :)

see you soon,

love,

xoxo

this one is three-in-one. i couldn't decide on one. 

birds, brights, beauty.

birds

have you ever seen a bird really up close? like really really? have you seen the way the feathers grow and how he cleans them? or the colours of their eyes? for me any bird is the finest creature ever, if i could be an animal i would be a bird, an owl probably. the way they move in the air is just fantastic. even their skeletons are inspiring! 

but i can't stand birds in cages. or stuffed...

brights

as you probably noticed in my ootds that i love bright colours. they make others happy when they look at me and i guess i could say that colour blocking is my favourite trend of all time. i'm trying to incorporate that in to my everyday wear and it seams to be working fine :)

beauty
for me designing haute couture fashion is all about being spectacular and beautiful. even though i don't have the looks of a supermodel i love seeing and experiencing beauty all around me. all the little crafts that i do, my mini drawings, pretty colours in my life make my everyday so much more liveable :)

the most beautiful things in life give you the best memories.
and they inspire me.

hope you enjoyed,

love,

xoxo

alexander mcqueen

anybody who knows me is aware of the fact that i'm like the biggest fan of his works ever.

i watched and still enjoy all of his shows (they are indeed spectacular). the way he used to make all of the outfits outstanding and fantastic... just a pure inspiration.

the reason i particularly love him is that i've got a big sentiment. as far back as i can remember i always admired him. i guess you could say that he inspired me to start this whole thing...
and i'm so grateful for it.

see you tomorrow,

love you,

xoxo

arboretum picantum

this weekend was international blogger day :) nice one
in case you don't know i'm back at home and i just started school. lovely...

well, this obviously means that it's september (btw probably my favourite month).
and i promised something exciting for this.
ok.
i'm gonna pretty much do the beds. well not beds, 'beds'
it's a short for blog everyday in september.
but i'm going to bore you to death with my full of action and drama life in school, oh no.

mine is going to be bit more original.

since this year i'm starting to get my head in to my fashion i want to learn something everyday.
and what's the first thing you learn? the alphabet. see where i'm going with that?

i'm going to present you, day by day, my own fashion alphabet.
isn't that cool?

everyday a different letter and something that is connected to me and the things i do.

the only thing i want to to do is to comment with your special word beginning with this letter. it could be a favourite, meaningful or just funny to say :)

that's about it and let's get started!

love you,

xoxo
