Photoshoot: Inspirational Gallery

As much as I love worn drapey trusty layer clothes, I love excellent tailoring. 
 I think I want to play with both of these together ;) 
what sums up my idea: 
tribal elements, very simple & tailored base pieces, splashes of color, whimsical, tough love, feminine, powerful, adventurous, perfectly quirky, chic, unique, coy and fabulous!

Game of Thrones: Costumes

I caved in and watched something on TV - the Game of Thrones movie. 
What can I say... Bloody good movie it is, eh? ;) ;P
I am in love with the scenery, actor play, and, most of all, - the costumes!
Wow! I haven't seen such incredible work in a while - talk about visual starvation! I don't watch TV, and was unaware about the show, until the day before yesterday, when some friends were discussing the come back of the movie, season two. I took a peak and my jaw dropped ;)))
Leather work, colors, details, layering - astonishing, in my opinion. 
 The designer for this show is talented Michele Clapton.

Upcycled Tribal

Tribal jewelry and accessories will always have a special place in my heart, like no other - what other? rings and bracelets from the brands alike to the one that packs their merchandise in turquoise boxes? Predictable, although, they call things like that a classic, so we keep buying that uninteresting and recognizable thing without a character made of silver.
Booooring!
I find so much detail and story in tribal and neo-tribal jewelry, there's warmth from realising that, that's why I am especially curious in any ethnic adornments and accessories.
A whole fairytale right there! ;)

What is "Bedlam"?

Every once in a while I share a shop or a blog of any one of people, whose work and/or word I will find exceptionally interesting.
Today it is an etsy shop called Fancifuldevices. Victorian Tribal ;) 
So incredibly unique and curious! Check out more work here

Even caked-up with makeup, the ladies look good ;)

On my mind

...are still magnificent colors of nomad Asia... less word, more show! ;)









Yesterday I was searching my yarn sources for color charts to use for things I want to make, based on my inspiration by these costumes. Lopi - the classic water repellent yarn from Island is one of my first considerations, because it felts very well, protects from wetness, is lightweight, durable and the color, of course, the color selection is broad, in the chart below I can find almost every color I need. Lopi would be most suitable for over-the-shoulder one strap bags, that you would want to take everywhere, and that would fit all of your favorite/necessary on the go stuff. I can't wait to start working on this project! ;) But first, I need to finish my Tribal Market knitting, and participate there, and report back to you how it all went.. :)


It's very cold in our apartment, and when I dress in the morning, I feel like I need to put lots of warm layers, eventually, I end up looking like a skinny cabbage, and when I finally go outside all prepared for the cold to attack me, it's not that bad at all! The temperature outside is almost the same as in the room haha! :)

V for Vibrant, V for Viet Nam

 My dear friend Moshe came back from his trip to Asia and shared many many pictures of the beauty of that region. And look just how very vibrant are the clothes of Viet Nam nomads! Dreamy colors, bursting at you splashing all around the reflections of rainbow ;) I feel so inspired, thanks to him, truly grateful for capturing such beauty. Immediately in my mind are.... felted brightly striped woolen yumminess for gloomy winter weather!
After the Tribal Market I am to pick and order yarn, yay!
