CIRCUS LOVE

My friends Onyxei and Helmut in other words Atelieri O.Haapala have done it again; a set of totally amazing photos shot at the Champagne Circus last month! An event which I could not attend and thus did I not get myself a circus themed portrait. Which is a pity very very much indeed. Sigh.

In the photo above you can see the photographers posing themselves. Fabulous ain't it? See the whole set on their Flickr.

You can see some earlier works of the duo under my Atelieri-tag.

PREDICTABLE PERHAPS- BUT NOT THIS TIME!

Eddi ask me weather I was going to lable this post "stripes and dots" Damn! Because, that's of course what I had in mind, or, tp be prices, Striped and dots and Red. He thought he had started to learn but I considered myself predictable. Not that predictable is necessarily bad, but well, you know.

Sometimes I don't know how the fuck to pose for outfit photos without feeling, well, too 'posey'.

Maybe I should just go for "Hi! this is me in red (and stripes and dots)."

I sometimes get these ideas about an outfit that I just have to try out, and sometimes it can take months before I actually do so. In this cas I noticed the outcome was not perfect as the skirt and jacket differ a lot in texture. But then again red is always rend ad people just do not wear enough red. I guess.


When I was small the most amazing this I could think of was dotted tights. I never had any. Or, perhaps I did have a pair in white with white dots. But I was always thinking of dotted ones like this.


Isn't it great to be grown up and actually be able to get the things you wanted as a kid? Even better if you still want them, of course. (I gave up that whole "when I group I want to be a princess"-answer long time ago as I realized there were no suitable monarchs in my taste out there.)


But anyway, wait and see, there are even more polka dots to this one.


Yeah.


…should I have gone for "I See Red" up there? Hmmm.

The jacket and bag is vintage, skirt Vivien of Holloway, the shoes form Tallinn, tights from Accessorize and the hat is a big black clip-on bow.

THE MERMAIDS GOES TO

So, time is up and we have a winner!!!

...and her name is Sonja!
The mermaid pendant will be on it's way soon. Congratulations!

And for the record, as said before this piece was one of the more popular ones from For the Cross Jewelry i.e Terri makes more of them so even if you didn't win you still have the chance to buy one for yourself.

You can still take advantage of Olivia's birthday code until midnight (or something like that). and also remember, my Vivien of Holloway code is valid until the end of June - check the sidebar for more info if you happened to miss it :)

(And P.S, there will be more of 2000 & 1000 , in a little while)

TIME

But of course, we do not really have all the time in the world. No one has.

I wish for more time to everything when there actually is no such thing as more time, you know, time is just here and now,it is really only about how you use your time... Referrals to Carpe Diem always feel so cliché and drives me mad from time to time, but it is true; and sometimes it gets too late for some things.

And while I was actually thinking of things in a bigger scale I thought we'd still bring it back down to the little internet here now: You only - or still, depends on how you prefer your glass of water- have one more day to take advantage of Olivia Rouge's discount as well as one more day to be able to try your luck on the mermaid pendant! Grab it before it's too late! I will announce the winner tomorrow evening. Evening in Eastern European Time that is.

But come to think of it, I suppose in our memories we do have all the time in the world. Like some moments are in this place that is forever, as are the persons in it.

Well yes anyway you all go on and have a nice and sunny Sunday & a lovely Mothers Day!
