tell me anything you want, any lie will do

//after looking at leather totes for a long time, after never finding the perfect size or colour or price, I decided to make one myself. 
finding the leather wasn't easy, neither was sewing the thick leather with a normal household sewing machine. 
anyway, here's how my bag turned out. I'm very happy. 
the leather is slightly too soft for this purpose though, so if I ever attempted to make a sturdy leather tote again I would have to go for a waxy, sturdy leather instead of this one. 
needless to say, they didn't have that where I bought my leather, but whatever. 
tiny, insignificant details. 
all that matters is that it looks good, is made by me and fits everything I need. and has a spacious side pocket with a zipper.
what do you think?

//the most perfect blazer in the world, perhaps?
blazers, unfortunately, are out of the question as of late. I wish a beautiful blanket of fresh white snow wasn't a synonym to -22 degrees celsius. it's kind of hard to wear anything resembling to a blazer at these temperatures.

I have finally rediscovered my interest in clothing and fashion. me and clothing, we've been having a bit of a row.

watching the world from the bright side



//closeupandprivate. eye candy at its very best.
I find menswear a whole lot more inspiring than womenswear right now.

company's ok but solitude is bliss

I need a spacious bag in my life, right now. I'm tired of carrying my blocks of paper and my tens of different types of pens around in canvas bags.
I finally found this, but it's from the summer 2010 which apparently means it's not in stock anymore. and it's dark blue...
does anyone know where to get something very very similar?
I would sew one myself but am tired of searching for the right kind of leather.

you will never come close to how I feel

//autumn's here, so am I.
got back from my long long travel, spent a week at home packing up stuff, then moved to a new town to start uni.

IMG_0898-1.jpg picture by grkidIMG_0899-1.jpg picture by grkidthis summer I discovered a limited wardrobe to be more inspiring than the usual wide assortment of clothing that hangs in my closet.
at least for me a wide wardrobe means that I stick to the same garments day after day. having fewer pieces, I wore a bigger percentage of them because they were more compatible with each other.
that's why it's refreshing to move to a new town, a new apartment: I now only have garments I really love and need.
plus getting dressed is so much more fun now.

I knew I had to have her

was eyeing the insane black grosgrain jacket (in the first image) for several months so when I saw the piece of clothing at the new guard for less than half the original price, in my size, looking even better than in images, the last jacket they had, I knew I had to get it.
I got into uni so I guess this was a prize for all the hard work I did in the spring, right?
