Wild Labyrinth Strolling

"What though while the wonders of nature exploring,
I cannot your light, mazy footsteps attend;
Nor listen to accents, that almost adoring,
Bless Cynthia’s face, the enthusiast’s friend:
Yet over the steep, whence the mountain stream rushes,
With you, kindest friends, in idea I rove;
Mark the clear tumbling crystal, its passionate gushes,
Its spray that the wild flower kindly bedews.
Why linger...

 In one of the previous posts, i showed you a sneak peek of my new watches, which i got thanks to the lovely people from Urban watch (you can find them here) and i immediately start thinking how can i combine these two beautiful colors. This is what i`am up to at the end. Totally Isabel Marant inspired look, short leather boots on a bare legs, with tiny pink shorts and floral loose shirt, and a little bit of accessories. Messy hair. End of story.

Tell me, tell me, tell me, what do you think about it?

Happy 1st day of summer! ;)

Everything Is Illuminated

These lovely sunflowers run parallel to a busy road--a cacophonous contrast between man's progress and one of nature's most bright creations. The type of place I'm not free to set up my tripod and snap away, but I require a friend to dodge honking cars and take pictures with. I think people sometimes falsely believe I live in a beautiful place, untouched by civilization or terrible weather or...

Dust Settles

I took these photos on a stormy day--it was raining and thundering when I snapped them and I was worried I would slip on the wet, swinging bridge, or my camera would get soaked but happily none of those things happened. Lately a number of my photographs are taken in the rain or just between storms, there doesn't seem to be time to wait for sunnier days. Just Sunday I went from strolling through...

Monster Ball

John Kenn draws monsters on post-it notes; turning office supplies into windows of another, creepier world. I find them beautiful and so evocative of the over-active imagination I indulged in when I was younger--I saw creatures lurking in every shadowed path and while they were sometimes frightening in appearance, they didn't always feel sinister.

That Girl

Sometimes I want to be that girl. Everyone knows the one; a fey creature that seems spun out of myth instead of reality like the rest of us. You spot her in the middle of a crowd or on a busy subway platform passing you as she gets on and you get off, or maybe you'll see her at a bonfire with friends as you walk down the beach one summer night and you're filled with the need to meet her. You...

Sunday Remix

I went into my archives for this remix. The skirt is a sweet vintage find and it's quite typical of the skirts that fill local thrift shops. When thrifting skirts pay more attention to fabric and print than size or length--hemming a skirt to a more modern length is a ridiculously easy fix and adding an elastic waistband isn't much more complicated. A print like this one goes with a variety of...

Peter Pilotto Resort 2013

I am mad for the prints and striking combinations in Peter Pilotto's collections. Sadly, a look at the price tags of previous collections made me rather sad. Still, you can admire without posession and the combination of geometric prints and patterns inspired by centuries old illuminated manuscripts is too striking to not share. I can't wait to see what patterns Peter Pilotto and Christopher De...

Blog Birthday

Continuing the theme started earlier today I'm posting a few of my favorite outfits from the past year. In the course of blogging for 5 years now I've posted more than 1,000 outfits--quite a number especially considering I didn't intend to be a personal style blogger in the beginning of this site (it was going to be general fashion and less personal posts). Things change though, just in this year...

Five Years Ago Today

So, it's been five years since I started this little old blog (the "old" endearment is becoming less and less ironic especially in this digital age). Five seems monumental for some reason; it's longer than I was in college or high school, subtract an inch and it's my height in feet, and happens to be my favorite number. I don't really know what it means in terms of the blog--I state this fairly...

Rhyme Or Reason

-I recently got canvas photo print of one my collages from Easy Canvas Prints; the quality is really awesome and I loved the mirrored edges. It's now hanging above my bed with twinkle lights. If you want a photo of yours printed, that is the place to do it at.-Here's a playlist with what I've been listening to lately--not much rhyme or reason to it.-Also one of my favorite recipes that I whipped...

Half-Realized Imaginings

There aren't enough picnics to satisfy my hunger for homemade lemonade and everything else that tastes of summer and sunlight and water gun fights and white dresses and fireflies. I probably spend too much free time watching films where children find themselves in those brief free months between school and responsibility, catapulted into adventures that baffle the mind and I wonder why my life...

Quick late night post before my offline vacation ... ;)
I picked my ultimate summer piece, ripped baggy jeans, then i added some sequins, matched sandals with this shirt, and took a black strapless bra, cause im that kind of person! Rule breaker! ;)
Just to mention, that i want be able to reply on your questions and emails in next couple days (it will wait for me to come back), but be sure to follow me on the Instagram (@vanjaam), Twitter or on Facebook page, which will try to update!
Enjoy in July!

Keeping Secret What Is Fair

"Hadst thou liv’d when chivalry
Lifted up her lance on high,
Tell me what thou wouldst have been?
Ah! I see the silver sheen
Of thy broidered, floating vest
Cov’ring half thine ivory breast;
Which, O heavens! I should see,
But that cruel destiny
Has placed a golden cuirass there;
Keeping secret what is fair.
Like sunbeams in a cloudlet nested
Thy locks in knightly casque are rested:
O’er which...

Aspirations Are Possibilities

Certain clothes seem as aspirational as the posters we like to hang on our walls...well, I actually do hang my prettiest dresses on my walls--I like watching the light catch sequins on party dresses I barely get an excuse to wear and a breeze from an open window making a vintage prom dress dance in a way it hasn't been allowed to do in years. It certainly saves me the price of framing things and...

Rika Spring 2012

Can we take a moment to appreciate the perfection that is Rika spring 2012? That time-tested combination of ladylike and edgy--tousled hair and leather jackets paired with prim florals and point heels? While a few stand-out pieces could be worth the investment, inspiration here is as much about the styling as the brand. To perfect the look try watching Rebel Without a Cause and dressing like Jim...

Summer Colds
