"You can never be too rich or too thin"
Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor(1896-1986)
That has to be one of my favourite quotes.  It amuses me although I don't agree - you can be too thin and I have very little regard for money.  It should say "... and you can never have too much bling!"  I really can't refer to any of this as bling as it contains some of the most glorious items in the world.

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to...

Hello everyone, this will be one quick post, yesterday was my b-day, and i decided to dress different than usual, i surprised my guests and relatives, and i really had fun! I've got great presents and beautiful wishes, but the most important thing was, that my closest were with me!
Da, da, kruna, biseri i til su se savršeno slagali uz moju rođendansku tortu!:)
Možda će nekome  izgledati super, originalno i odlično, možda se nekome i ne svidi, ali je najvažnije da sam se ja dobro osećala u ovome!
Prošao je još jedan rođendan koji sam provela sa svojim najbližima ( neki su nedostajali i oni dobro znaju ko su)... oh da, i ja sam sada na broju 25!!! Mnogoo, zar ne!? :) Nikako ne mogu da se pomirim sa tim! :)
Hvala Maji na divnim fotografijama!!! ♥

Gorgeous green

Hedy Lamarr looking fabulous in green
This post is dedicated to the lovely Alex who's favourite colour is green.  I'm always looking out for green things for her on Ebay.
I rarely wear anything green although I love it as a colour.  I love brightly coloured make-up and I wear an Urban Decay emerald green glittery eyeliner a lot.

I own one dark green dress which I wore last week.  It's quite

Too cold to be glamorous!

Here's today's outfit.  As ever I've bought everything cheap on EbayCream cashmere cardigan/dressing gown £50 on Ebay, 2008Cream cashmere v neck £15 on Ebay, 2009Cream wool and cashmere leggings by Joseph £20 on Ebay, 2000

It is freezing in London and I'm very disappointed we've had no snow yet, I'm like a big kid!  It's too cold to be glamorous today, even for me!  I've dug out my limited

A huge thank you to Vix

My new vintage hood - I love it so much!!
Yesterday I did a post about Vix at Vintage Vixen whose blog I'm addicted to.  When I came back from work there was a surprise parcel waiting for me from Vix.  She must be psychic as she had no idea I was posting about her and she'd obviously sent it a few days previously.
Inside was an absolutely gorgeous vintage Thirties hood.  Vix knows I love hoods

Friday quotes - Cher

"A girl can wait for the right man to come along, but in the meantime it doesn't mean she can't have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones"
Cher(b. 1946)
I love these vintage pictures of Cher.  I think she's an amazing, strong woman.  Cher's been around for so long, she's like an institution.  I also think she's a very good actress and I've really enjoyed her films particularly Moonstruck,

I love Vintage Vixen

The lovely Vix has an excellent blog called Vintage Vixen.  Vix is an absolute inspiration as a person and for anyone trying to save money.  She buys all her clothes from jumble sales, car boots, charity shops and Ebay.  Vix has an amazing sense of style and I don't know anyone with a keener eye for a bargain.  Quite often she'll buy a dress for 20p and look totally fabulous in it.  I love her

A big thank you to Alex

A beautifully wrapped box arrived in the post from the delightful Alex at Odd Socks and Pretty Frocks.  I am an avid follower of Alex's blog.  I love to read about her life, see all her bargain finds and the wonderful things she creates.
Alex has been making some gorgeous pom pom necklaces and headbands which I've been admiring. Alex very kindly made one for me.  I love it as a headband but

Jeeee, konačno!!! Sećate se onog drugog dana, Jacobs Fashion Selection-a?! A kako i ne bi, kada su se mogle videti razne stvari te večeri! :) Hm! E sad, ono što je ostavilo najveći utisak na mene, je upravo poslednja revija koja se održala te večeri, a baterija se ispraznila, tako da nije bilo više mogućnosti za fotografisanje! Ali ni to više nije važno, jer sada imam još bolje slike! :)
Mlada dizajnerka Sanda Simona je rešila da napravi Lookbook sa njenom kolekcijom, kojim sam ja oduševljena, i ovim putem joj se zahvaljujem što me je obavestila o tome! :)  Hvala Sanda, divna si!!!Moji omiljeni komadi su haljine sa poslednje slike, kao i jakne/sakoi, ma cela kolekcija je fantastična!

Veruschka's exotic looks have always been a favourite of mine.  She was Vogue's cover girl the month I was born in January 1969, not that I actually remember it, but I have since bought a vintage copy.
One of the original supermodels of the Sixties and Seventies Vera von Lehndorff was born in Prussia in 1939.  I love her looks and style and she got to wear some

Still West at Mrs Jones

Mrs Jones and me, 2001 - We must get a recent one done
I've been at Mrs Jones in West London since Tuesday night.  The house hasn't been sorted out for a very long time but it's all coming together at last.  I did it nine years ago when this picture was taken.
We haven't been out all week and we're becoming quite feral.  You should see the state of me!  We're going to go off and have a roast

Looking forward to Any Human Heart

Gillian Anderson as Wallis Simpson - I loved her in Bleak House
I'm still over at Mrs Jones' doing her life laundry.  We have only just finished the kitchen after three days!  Admittedly it is a big kitchen but neither of us thought it would take quite so long.  There were SIXTEEN large bin bags full of things we're getting rid of, and that was just from one room!  The rest of the house will be

Friday quotes - Hedy Lamarr

"I have not been that wise.  Health I took for granted.  Love I have demanded, perhaps too much and too often.  As for money, I have only realised it's true worth when I didn't have it"
Hedy Lamarr(1913-2000)
Hedy Lamarr was one of Hollywood's most beautiful women.  A star that possessed great beauty and brains,  she invented frequency hopping which has gone to to allow wireless communication

Elizabeth Taylor's fabulous headpieces

Photography by Richard Avedon
I've been thinking about fabulous headwear a lot this week and Elizabeth Taylor sprung to mind.  Above is my favourite photograph of her, taken in 1964 and the feather headpiece is absolutely stunning.
Hollywood costume designers made some wonderful pieces for her films.  I loved the headdress in Cleopatra.  The actress often wore very extravagant headpieces when

Where I am actually in awe

Photography by Rocco Laspata
I've dragged myself out of East London and come all the way over to Kensal Green to see my gorgeous friend Mrs Jones whose house we are about to "life laundry" so she can sell it and come East.  I cannot wait of course, I'm here to hurry things along.  We've been having a fabulous time trying on clothes, playing new music and chatting about all sorts when I realised

Narukvice su bile 109 dinara :) , tako da sam kupila braon i ovu zelenu kombinaciju!I odušvljena sam kako se super uklapa uz sat! Zato trk u naš voljeni New Yorker ( "kopanje" po radnji je poželjno) ! :)

Fashion's Most Wanted - Kim Bowen Interview

I've always wanted to interview Kim Bowen and we finally made time to do it.  Kim and I chatted  on our Macs the other night using iChat and I recorded it on my iPhone.  This isn't a plug for Apple but I love the fact we can talk for hours, it costs nothing and it sounds like we're in the same room.  Kim is clever, brilliant,

Another lazy Sunday

I think the picture of this cluttered Victorian room is gorgeous and there's nothing like the glow of a fire.  It's been raining non-stop all day in London and I've been very happy staying in.  I absolutely love having nowhere to go.  I've been invited round to a few friends for drinks but I'm enjoying not getting dressed and I have some work to finish.
I have a beautiful carved white marble

Take your favorite leopard pattern scarf and wrap it around your neck, put some golden jewelry , vintage sunglasses, and you are ready to go out on a sunny November day!!!!Enjoy!!!
Zahvaljujući iscrpnim izveštajima o modnim dešavanjima , potpuno sam zapostavila ešarpe! Nadam se da ih više neću preskakati i da će se pojavljivati jednom nedeljno kao što sam to i planirala! Ovo je jedna od mojih omiljenih, i ne mogu da razumem osobe koje kažu da ne vole leopard šaru! :)Treba je samo pažljivo izabrati , jer ne predstavlja baš svaka najbolje rešenje ( znate na šta mislim, i kakve se sve tigrice mogu videti u gradu)! hehe
Za ovaj sunčani novembarski dan, izabrala sam nju, vintage naočare i "malo" nakita! :)
p.s. Danas sam mnogo bolje, i hvala na svim željama da što pre ozdravim!!!♥

An evening on the sofa

The fabulous Hedy Lamarr
I am so boring now. People think I'm out at fabulous parties all the time.  I do occasionally go to a party but most of the time these days I'm in watching TV.  I'm such a TV addict.  I meant it when I said I'm like an old nana the other day!

Admittedly we were shooting a pop star today so I'm lucky that lots of fun things happen around me.  More of which will be

Fashion and tattoos...

 

  Most of the photos were taken from  http://lolitalempika.tumblr.com/

Thanks to my sweet friend Larisa from Romania, and her lovely blog  http://lolitalempika.tumblr.com/  i will have a lot of great photos without spending so many hours searching for them! Im not into tattoos so much , and i can say that i dont like it, or hate it but when i saw those photos, i cant decide yet should i change my mind or not? :) Chanel, Lanvin, LV, bows, rosary...is this love, need, fashion or what?

Današnji post je trebao da bude o FW nagradama, ali pošto sam se razbolela ...šmrc...morala sam da ostanem kod kuće. Temperatura, malaksalost...i još dosta propratnih stvari me je sprečilo čak i da upalim laptop, onda možete pretopostaviti koliko mi je loše bilo!!! :( Već se osećam bolje, tako da sam brzo smislila šta je to što ću vam danas pokazati. 

Nikada nisam volela tetovaže, niti poželela da imam neku. Znam da postoji mnogo razloga za njihovo stavljanje, međutim kada sam videla ove fotografije ostala sam bez odgovora. Da li one predstavljaju ljubav prema ovoj vrsti "umetnosti", naklonost prema određenom brendu, modni dodatak, potrebu, ili trenutni trend? Šta vi mislite o tome?

Friday quotes - Katharine Hepburn

"If you obey all the rules you
miss all the fun"
Katharine Hepburn(1907-2003)
I've always adored Katharine Hepburn, she's strong, intelligent, witty and beautiful.  What more could you want in a woman?  Oh, and I love her wardrobe.  Here are some of my favourite quotes from the wonderful Ms Hepburn.

"When I started out I didn't have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act.  I just

Fabulous in fur

Even though I don't wear real fur for ethical reasons, I have to admit it looks fabulous.  I wish they could manufacture faux fur that looks as good as this, I'm sure they will one day.
Fur seems to be everywhere at the moment.  A lot of people I know don't wear fur anymore but back in the day a fur coat was the height of glamour and sophistication.
Here's a collection of new and vintage

I needed to do it one more time! :) We dont have H&M store in Serbia, and we are so sad. My lovely friend Olja took those photos in Amsterdam! Nothing interesting for you guys, but for us is something special!

Olja nas pogađa pravo u srce! :)  Ne znam šta bih pre kupila, haljinice, onaj divni poncho u sve četiri boje, nek mi se nađe, ili ove sakoe!!?!! :) Kako se vama čini ova kolekcija  iz H&M-a?! Plačemo, peticija, štrajk?!!!Šta treba da uradimo da nas ucrtaju na svojoj mapi?!
