SPREAD THE LOVE

Hope you have seen and enjoyed the Royal Wedding. It has been really a fairy tale! Elegant but not to ostentative, with a special charm that has been felt even through the TV screen. I loved the naturality of every movement and smile of the young couple. And Kate, although she is not breed as a royalty she surely shown that she can act like one easily.
I felt this particular wedding close to my heart as it was emanating naturality and youth.It sounds like a new beggining for the British Kingdom.

Long live royalty!!

WAITING FOR A MIRACLE

Ok,I am officialy a lazy bone! Such a big lazy bone, that even the character in Ion Creanga's story wouldn't even compete with me. Actually, I had so much of work to do thist past 2 months, that I didn't have the energy to think about writing every evening.
But well,now it's almost Easter, we are in "THE BIG SATURDAY"asa we,Romanians call it, and I am in a cellebrating mood, although I don't have too many reasons. As you know, mys sister is still in Alghero and I kinda'miss her. Oh well, that's it!No more crying for me! I have found lately so many inspiration, that I can't tell all about it.:P
For example,this cute and clean blog(it is one of the few german blogs that I can discern:P) I would like to share, hoping it would be a helpfull inspiration for you as it'z been for me.




It is called http://www.herz-allerliebst.de/ and it has been a delight to browse it'z pages during a hard work day.This girl is inspired by everything in her house, and despite the fact that she has two little boys, everihing is WHITE AS SNOW! Amazing. I can't remember when I had my last pair of white jeans or a white table cloth! I can't make white, white! That's why, I really apreciate her effort.
So,I hope I gave you some ideas of how to immagine Easter, and I hope you have a lovely weekend, with lots of sun, flowers and good friends.

STYLE INSPIRATION-MARC BY MARC JACOBS

If I would have to describe my fashion style, one of the first names that comes in my mind is Marc Jacobs. He starts his new collection with classical and retro inspiration.The blacks, the whites and neutral colours are his favourites, I asume, after the latest collections of his. Spots are also highly used(too much, from my oppinionbut highly necessary to make the difference between classical retro and MJ's retro). His shoes have a very well ressemblence with gummy boots, although they have orthopedic heels and they are classier. Well done! And of course, the rest of the accessories, the bags and gloves(another MJ favourite item), I won't even say anything about them. It's useless. They are brilliantly classy. And so not affordable.:P Yet!:D

FASHION-ARCHITECTURE/ARCHITECTURE-FASHION

“Ninety-eight percent of buildings are boxes, which tells me that a lot of people are in denial. We live and work in boxes. People don’t even notice that. Most of what’s around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable. People say, ‘This is the world the way it is, and don’t bother me.’ Then when somebody does something different, real architecture, the push-back is amazing. People resist it. At first it’s new and scary.”

Arch. Frank Gehry





I couldn't have left this chapter left away, as I am an architect and fond of fashion as well. Both architects and fashion designers dress things.Architects-buildings, fashion designers-people. And now you will probably say what is the catch! Well, both "arts" have in the middle, the human being. Both of them covers the man in a different way and at a different level.
I always considered architecture, that part of our life, that seems so unimportant but in deffinitive it is one of the most important things. We live in the product of the architect, we work in it, we go to concerts, to films, we enjoy ourselves,we live indoors more than we think. Along history, architecture had different immages and faces, as the man evolved. Each period had its characteristics and ways of building.
And yes, last, fashion, changed along with everything, including architecture. You will probably say that clothes are not so important in a person's life, and probably you are right. Why do we need so many clothes, bags, shoes? Can't we just manage with only one pair? Well,we don't. Someone told me, in life, immage is very important. Think that when you meet soeone you don't decover the inside of a person, but after looking at it. You first see the outside.And that counts first. So, fashion became a vital thing as soon as people foud out it's a necesity. Well, at the begining clothes had just a practical purpose and that's it. Later, people realized it was no longer a necessity.








And ,voila the well known architect Frank Gehry even dressed the as well famous Lady Gaga. Just to see the link between fashion and architecture.
