Silver Brocarde

This silver pullover is actually priceless for me and it is one of my favorite winter items....it belonged to my grandmother...so it is pure vintage.
I'm crazy about the Brocarde details and i just had to show you this mix i've created between the pullover and the silver pencil skirt i lost & found in my wardrobe...i really felt like they were made one for another...it's a perfect match.
I hope you like it as much as i do.
Love,
Gabriela

Burgundy child

Here is ...another post dedicated to my Burgundy Obsession.
With this ocassion i decided to share with you a very beautiful poem about this colour.

Burgundy

burgundy, the color of wine
and cashmere
a noble stain, sweet and dark
like old music, enchanting yet haunting
or pages in a history book
deep purplish red, like old France
when the Louie's were Kings
with deep capes of ermine and
coats of serious, glorious, burgundy
like time passing
things ripening with age
roughness becoming soft
and smooth, burgundy
like old memories
sweet and cherished, a bitter fragrance
all its own
a rich man's bedsheets, made of silk
dark and comforting, or
a noblewoman's rogue, daring
and the color on her lips, emphasizing white teeth
burgundy
a tall chair by the fire
an honored usage, glowing in the light

The place where the sun kisses the sea

I don't know if i've ever told you how much...i love THE SEA and i don't do this only during my summer holidays...it's a constant "never-ending" feeling. I'm telling you! when i'm angry ...sad and depressed or feeling alone and forgotten the sea is the only pill i take, my escape, my endless source of happiness and inspiration.
Actually i must confess that all the pieces from my first collection were designed on the beach after a break-up, with a frappe and lots of cigarettes and hours of sun healing while listening on repeat: The Verve - BitterSweet Symphony:))
So here is another day in my little paradise. The beach ...the car.... the jeans, the warm comfy woolen poncho the boots and a lot of sea shells...my perfect BitterSweet symphony.


Love,
Gabriela

LBD - Long Blue Dress.

...I don't have a favourite colour i really love the Rainbow. One month ago during my winter cleaning i was suprised to see that i didn't have Blue Items in my wardrobe so i decided that i NEED something BLUE for this winter.
Very soon after i was lucky enough to find this 70's floral blue Dress in a Second Hand shop...my mission was officially completed!

I love clothes that have a story behind their fabric ...that are unique...i find them priceless and they really make me happy because they are a challenge, and i feel like i'm bringing them back to life everytime i'm wearing them.
Love,
Gabriela

100 o'clock tea.

This is my...100th story for this year...and i'm going to celebrate it with a cup of tea...black tea.

In this pictures you are going to see ...a very "calm" girl, a girl who has plenty of time to enjoy every drop of tea...who finds time to get lost in her thoughts , who has time to dream while listening to her favorite music....in her red dress.
Unfortunately ...i've never had enough time to enjoy PLAYING this role...i'm always in a hurry...i never have enough time to do everything i want...even during my sleep i feel that i don't have enough time to dream...actually the last time i enjoyed every drop of tea was during this shooting...and i hope that this Christmas will bring me besides joy ...a wonderful moment of silence, peace and love.

Why black tea?...because i love it, i was born & raised in a culture that was influenced a lot by the russian one...where besided Votka there is a LOT of BLACK TEA...and the truth is that my body refuses caffeine...

So this is my receipe for a perfect Christmas night....hot black tea, a Sweet Paprika red dress, snowflakes, lights, gifts, oranges, family, love ...and silence.



Love,
Gabriela
