hiPop I hip. I Pop. I op.

A lepo piše. Na etiketama, na netu (za nas, Google domaćice) - vuna se ne pere. Znam ja to, naravno, ali mi se, iskreno, nisu davale pare za hemijsko čišćenje pantalona koje sam na Najlon pijaci platila dinarski dvocifreno. Bilo je i hepiendova, štofovi koji nisu od čiste vune sasvim su se lepo prali na mašinskom programu za fin veš. Što, naravno, ovde nije bio slučaj. Ja sam zamislila lepe, oversize, moćne muške pantalone, ali one su odlučile da odu na dečije odeljenje. Početna zamisao su bile ove Céline lepojke sa zipovima (ta revija mi je, inače, totalni pobednik za sezonu jesen-zima 2012.) , i nisam imala nameru da od nje odustajem. Kao pravi jarac, tvrdoglavo sam naterala vernu šnajderku Desu da ovaj DIY Céline projekat isteramo do kraja. Možda sam krenula negde drugde, ali srećna sam gde sam završila, šta vi kažete?

Da ne zaboravim ni ostale sjajne ( i bukvalno :) stvari - pre svega, candy clutch, plen iz Margiela x H&M kolekcije. Zatim, još jedna wannabe Givenchy ogrlica...zlatna je bila usamljena, morala sam da uzmem i srebrnu. Za kraj, moj kašmirski oversize oblak (toliko je mekan i fin, izbor reči nimalo slučajan!), u savršenoj camel boji. The Raveonettes su tu jer ćemo u februaru da vrištimo iz prvog reda, valja na vreme krenuti sa pripremama:)

For those who know to read, it is written in capital letters. On labels, internet (where else would Google housewife look for a piece of advice?) - don't wash woolen clothes. Of course I know that but, honestly, I did not want to pay for dry cleaning five times the price I paid for the pants on Nylon flea market. In my defense, there were couple of happy endings - if the clothes are not 100% wool, they can usually be washed just fine on delicate cycle. Which, of course, wasn't the case here. I had beautiful and powerful, oversize masculine pants in mind, only to end up with something you'd most likely find in Kids department. I wanted those Céline zip pants (that collection is definitely my favorite of Fall 2012 season), and I had no intention of letting go. Stubborn as one Capricorn can be, I persuaded my faithful seamstress Desa to continue with this  DIY Céline project. What do you say? I might have started in one direction, but I'm happy where I ended :)

And let's not forget the rest - shiny candy clutch, another Margiela x H&M trophy in my collection. Then, another wannabe Givenchy choker necklace, this time in silver, you all remember the golden one. Last, but not the least, my cashmere oversized cloud (yes, it is that soft and fluffy) in the perfect camel color. The Raveonettes are here because I'll be seeing them live in couple of weeks, so I'm practicing sing-alongs by then :)

Volim modnu jesen 2012. Iako je pratiti trendove postala maltene psovka, ja zaista volim kada mi neko iz sezone u sezonu zadaje (modne) zadatke. Pa još kada se poklope sa nekim ličnim ljubavima - edgy, minimalistički, a moćno - nema veće uživancije! Igra mat i sjajnih tekstura na monohromatskoj podlozi, prava su podloga za statement komade - metalik sjaj prstena i narukvice u kontrastu sa crnom OASAP ogrlicom. I naravno - ništa bez omiljenih štikli!

I really fell for Fall 2012. Although being accused of following trends became something really bad these days, I really enjoy confronting new (fashion) challenges from season to season. Even better so when they are conjunct with what I love anyway - edgy, minimalistic and powerful! Statement pieces work best when put on a simplistic base, so I opted for a monochromatic play of shiny and matte textures. Metallic cuff contrasted to black, textured OASAP necklace. Oh, and don't forget your favorite pair of heels!

Ne znam kako ću. Ali znam da hoću. Moraću da naučim da žongliram između dayjoba, studija dizajna svetla na Akademiji koje sam upravo upisala, redovnog plivanja i blogovanja. Na želim ničega da se odreknem, ali će verovatno nešto trpeti, tako da znate zašto/ako me nema. Hvala Boletu, Deji i svima ostalima koji su mi pomogali i nagovarali me da ponovo postanem student, hvala Radoslavi i Jovani, što su glumile u ovom malom video projektu za prijemni. 

Od DIY neopren Balenciage za Radoslavu (remek-delo moje šnajderke Dese), do svetlucave  peplum majice koju nosi Jovana, izbor garderobe bio je podređen svetlu, koje se najlepše igra na sjajnim površinama. Nadam se da vam se dopada :)

p.s. Ne zaboravite na giveaway iz prošlog posta, i dalje imate šanse da osvojite savršenu Prodigy Red haljinicu!

I don't know how am I going to do it. But I know I'll have to. I'll have to learn how to juggle dayjob, lighting design studies I've just enrolled at the Academy of Arts, regular swimming and blogging. I don't want to give up anything, but I'm sure I'll have to sacrifice something, so you know if/when you don't see me around much. I wanna thank Bole, Deja and everyone else who pushed me and helped me to become a student again, Radoslava and Jovana for being a part of my little video project I submitted for the Academy. 

From my DIY neoprene take on Balenciaga that Radoslava wore to Jovana's shiny peplum top, the choice of wardrobe was all devoted to light, which reveals its true beauty on reflective surfaces.   Hope you like it :)

p.s. Don’t forget about the giveaway I’m hosting, you still have a chance to win this amazing Prodigy Red dress!
