No sé

A small update of the clothes I bought lately.My home looked so comfortable tonight so I used the chance to take some pictures.

Oh jeez,it's so cold and there's snow as high as my knees at some places and..there's nothing really to tell.Just wonder how you've been?

Goodnight!

2010-10-05T03:39:00.000-07:00

Well,it's been long...again.

BUT I have excuses: I was accepted at the university I was applying to and I found a flat,just for my own.It's all so perfect,the flat is small but very nice and I got oh so many things like a blender,a 1-person-fryer,a yellow telephone that turned beige-white again after I cleaned it with earswabs for hours.

Now,as I said everything's happening right NOW and so my sister moved out last weekend.Our cousin,my sister and I are meeting each day since it's the last days we're living that close so the night she moved in we slept over there and we drank a little and the photos turned out...not so well.

It's so strange to move out but I'm more excited than feared.Just my mother is well feared about it.

I hope I can post my photos regularly after I moved and after I got a laptop for my lessons begin at 10 am if I did everything correctly.

How was your moving-out-of-your-childhood-home?

meh-he-h

2010-09-06T12:17:00.000-07:00

I've nothing much to tell.

I wore this for a meeting with a friend of mine to look at an apartment she might move into.The two people that already live in there were real nice but so old,like...25.This decision is not easily made.Soon I'll have to decide for an apartment too.And oh..I don't get along easy with all kinds of human.I'm often quiet and I'm not looking for partyyyyy-ish people.Mehh,whatever.

I hope you've had a good day?

P.S.I want THAT skirt.A bit longer,though.It's so keeewl!

2010-09-03T04:43:00.000-07:00

Weeelllllllllll, today was huuge! I woke up,Nanny,coffee,getting my photos(REAL photos from a 7-bucks-camera),back home,another coffee,loving the photos.

Here are some of them and new clothy clothes!

See the Pokémon?

2010-08-30T14:57:00.000-07:00

Today's outfit with one of my favorite works by Félix Vallotton in the background.
I wanted to post about things that make me happy.But on the search for photos I somehow stopped.I've had the idea because every morning I watch The Nanny with 2 cups of coffee and that is just THE morning ritual.Maybe it is just that those things vary.
Right now it's Basia Bulat and the memories that go along with her music.
So what is it that makes you happy,are there any rituals?

She's soo gorgeous and I always try to handle the little kiddos from the family I'm working at like she does.The have some good laughs at least.But no..it's really like I'm good friends with them or like I'm their sister so I love The Nanny even more!

And because I can't pick just one good scene(because many details make it a good series where I feel so at home) I'm posting the theme song:

2010-08-18T03:01:00.000-07:00

Well,it's been almost a month since my last post.I somehow didn't feel like posting or couldn't because I was in Holland.Hmm,it's pretty nice there,very decent and simple.The days have been spent laying at the beach,swimming and walking,and in the afternoon we went to the restaurant at the beach for some drinks and something to eat.The air there is just a dream,it feels so healthy to be there,even if the hair is full of sand,the skin covered with salt and you walk barefoot all day.
So now this is what I put together for today:The belt is so kewwl!

Here is a cape I found that was worn by a singer and..I really would like to have such a thing,the colours are not the prettiest,though.Maybe I'll keep up knitting again:
Oh,and this is a blouse that I've been given from/by my grandmother.First,when I saw it I thought that the pattern was quite..80'ies maybe and yes..could be nice.But then I wore it and was like.O......kay.... Does anyone of you have any idea what to do with it? (ehh..great composition and all,obviously NOT self-taken photo and excuse the mess...it's not my room of course)

AND I am looking for girls wearing knee socks and boots/whatever shoes with skirts.Has any of you seen good ideas somewhere?

God,no pretty colours in this post.I'm going to add my favorite song by CocoRosie though youtube doesn't offer the best version.

In the best version someone says the chorus words,he says them like he does in the ending:

2010-07-29T15:55:00.000-07:00

Ohh,it's been so long.

I've been busy with...you know,things.

But yesterday our stepfather sent us shopping because we needed new dresses for Holland(err..my wardrobe is as good as empty..) and I came back with 2 skirts,2 dresses,a pullover and other pieces that needn't be mentioned here.

Also,my mama woke up from the artificial coma and I'm SO relieved and again I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and kind,kind words and prayers.She's a little hard to handle these days but..she's awake at least.

The pullover will be for nights at the beach in Holland,umm yes.

The tree will keep me company at the beach.

The yellow dress is the Inception-dress

and the skirt is..I don't know why I bought it.I bought another one as well,light blue,simple,longer.

I hope this blog won't be as dead as it's been the last days after Holland,I've had something like a blog depression.

Have a good night&good dreams.

2010-07-20T18:04:00.000-07:00

Today was a dark day.

Since days I feel sick and today has been the worst.For the first time since quite a lot of days I could see my mother.She is in intensive care.She is in an artificial coma since days.There are wires all around her and she doesn't breath on her own.It was the worst and most gruesome thing I've ever seen to see her lying there so helplessly,asleep,having a wire that gets into her body and to see how mechanically her breast went up and down.Her lips were purple and swollen.How helpless she looked.It was unbearable to me.

I wonder what one thinks or dreams of if he/she's in a coma.I wonder if she will remember us holding her hand or what we said to her.I was so happy to feel her body being warm.I didn't expect that as she doesn't breath on her own.But yes,her heart beats on his own of course,so she should be warm.

The intensive care station was like hell.There are only 12 beds and in every room there were people between heaven and earth.I've had that picture on my mind.The souls of everyone there in a white,cloudy space and they just have to chose which door to take.

Oh,diseases and everything that has to do with it are so mean!I could never handle it.

I wonder if any of you have experiences with artificial comas and how the patients react when they wake up?

This post is not like 'fishing for pity' but I had to write it down somewhere and maybe hear what experiences you've had.

May all of you and your families be healthy and jolly.

Goodnight.

Inní mér syngur eðli

2010-07-17T05:14:00.000-07:00

Due to rather not-so-positive happenings I haven't had time for posting or taking photos.
Well,today I had.I even had time for editing it just to cover up the untidy room.
A song that accompanied me through this time was Inní Mer Syngur Vitleysingur by Sigur Rós.It means 'Within me sings a lunatic'.The title is nothing to do with how I feel these days,just by the way.
Again,I am so surprised how much strength and dear words I get from christian people.Mind-blowing.
First the song,really, listen to it,it's...so dear(if a song can be dear): (Icelandic is such an interesting language,I've learnt a little about it the last days)

And now what I'm wearing today:

2010-07-13T12:56:00.000-07:00

What a gorgeous day.

Incidentally,I was alone at home for most of the day and I decided to make time just for my own entertainment and to do NO-thing today.

There's a song by Emmy The Great in which she sings about her boredom.I've wanted to do what she sings about for a long time now:

-create a language

-eat neighbor's cat

-make a macaroni necklace

-play with toolbox

-set off a firework

-talk to and fall in love with a pencil.

I created a language.It sounded japanese-scandinavian and it was much fun to sing songs with non-existent words.

There was no cat within eyeshot.Too bad.
Here's my macaroni necklace which I cooked after and ate.

I looked in the toolbox but there were no entertaining tools in there but I saw a kite and tried setting it in the garden.

There was no firework in the basement but I lit candles and the house still smells like...very good !

I took a pencil that smiled at me but he was in a hurry, no time to fall in love.

Because that was not enough fun, I also wore 8 jackets at a time(gawd,they were heavy!) and I was sweating soo much and laughing so hard because I could barely move and then I made some push-ups on the floor and rolled up and down the carpet.Dear,that was fun-

Next thing I did was laying down on the meadow under the lawn sprinkler.

Then I made taekwondo with a broom stick.

This was followed by making vanilla ice cream with chocolate and coloured crumbles,cream,chocolate sauce,cherries and waffles.

Then my stomach was so full that I had to move again and I played the Don't-Touch-The-Floor-Game,this is walking and jumping from the table to the sofa to the shelf on the kitchenette,without touching the floor of course !

Well,after all this I was so worn out that I only had some power left to paint a little with chalk.(A few nights ago my best friend and I walked through the nocturnal streets and on a schoolyard we painted chalk Pokémon for the kiddos.It sounds childish but it is gaareat fun!)

Of course I also did reasonable things like photography.

Not very reasonable was not taking a picture of what I's wearing today.Don't worry,this is still a fashion blog and I won't bore you with those things for forever.

Baareakfast.Camembert and clocks.

I roasted the chicken,added the tomato farrago and the cheese.

And now I proudly present the protagonist: the Tortilla wraps!

I filled them with the chicken and rolled them up.

And this is the miserable result: Could there be a more delicious looking tortilla? YES.

This is what I was wearing while cooking. I just wear this long dress in the house and in the garden because it shows too much but is SO comfy to wear when it's about 36°C.

Despite the non-Happy-Enchiladas-End(I couldn't eat more than one half because while cooking I ate SO much cheese) this was a pretty evening.

After the meal I got out and went to the fields where the sun was setting and I took photos both with my good,ol' digital camera as well as with my new,old Canon I got on the flea market for 7 bucks.Then I had a coffee to reduce the ugly feeling of having eaten too much.And now I am sitting here listening to Coco Rosie.

The summertime is a much better time than I'd expected. Every morning I go out to walk on the morning dew all over the grass with bare feet. It's a little cold but it touches every sense.

N° 1

2010-07-12T12:17:00.000-07:00

I just made my first Enchiladas,I have never tried them before,but when I saw an Enchilada Kit at the supermarket I just had to have it.
I've made them like so:
Chicken cutting,cheese grating,putting tomato sauce,spice mix and water in a bowl.

2010-07-07T06:04:00.000-07:00

Hejjj,
I am back from London(well,since Monday actually but because of a bad cough I got from the ventilator I felt like writing and photographing today for the first time since then).
While writing the words 'bad' and 'cough' I remembered this song and I'd like to share it with you:

Well,where to start.

London is big,ohh so big and fast and loud.Personally I think,to patronize my oh so sacrosanct rule of slowness,that when you're going through the streets of London(or any other big city,or...any city at all) you should listen to calm music and walk slow and take photos and explore.You ought to go against the fastness.I have been there with a friend and she was running,running all the time and I had no time to think.That's why I barely remember details and there were no special,magical moments.I wish I'd been on my own.There was no time to read,to listen to music(I even created a new playlist with songs that were supposed to remind me of London later) or to take photos except for one night when we sat down at the Piccadilly Circus.

I only found two dresses,a bikini top and two tights.(My friend followed me everywhere,e-ve-ry-where when we were in a shop or at one of the 6 markets we visited.And let me tell you I can't stand it.When I looked at a dress in the 'Absolut Vintage' shop we visited she laughed but I actually liked it but then I didn't dare to pick it because I couldn't stand her looks.This happened several times.)

Thus,it's all been a bit disappointing and then I've had this bad cough and I thought it were my tonsils and I was crying all day yesterday,partly because of the pain but mostly for no specific reason.It was such a gruesome day-

But I am so happy to be back.

I also found two belts and a polaroid camera(now I found out that the films for those cameras are exorbitant).

I stole my mama's trench coat and wore one of the new dresses for flea market.You can see the Polaroid as well.And I'm wearing my beloved 'LOVE THE PLANET' bag from Dublin which me and my best friend bought there.

This is the new belt from today and one of the dresses from London.

The other London dress.I avoided the typical floral prints as every single body was wearing them in London.I also have to say I barely saw people wearing inspiring things.Most of them wore high heels which mostly doesn't look very modest or their faces were not friendly or other things.

Well,now I'm off buying film for my new camera and then I'm forced to see the German Worldcup match tonight.Ohhh how thrilling...not.
How good to be back and see all the pretty outfits you wore and things you've experienced.

Adieu !

2010-06-30T06:17:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to say goodbye for the next 6 days.

I will take a lot of photos and buy mountains of new clothes,I am so excited about what I'll come back with!

Hope you all will be having a jolly good week and I'm excited to see what you've been wearing in the meantime.

I'm off to London now with a plane.(Ok,that sounds ridiculous after my post about saving the environment and therefore trying to reduce....CO2-emissions! I....I....I can't help it,it was a present.....err....)

Goodbye and enjoy the nature !

2010-06-29T14:36:00.001-07:00

I just saw a sort of documentation on my favorite and one of the only two channels I'm watching 'ARTE' . Its name was 'I buy/(I'm buying?),therefore I am'. It was about world-wide disparities and how much we consume and that if everybody on this world would be consuming as much as an north American we would need a five times bigger planet and how much plastic and trash there is and that noone knows where to put it and some of the commentators said that in their opinion the apocalypse has already begun.I thought about thrifting and that it might be very good for the environment.No little,poor children in Bangladesh are sewing my H&M-clothes and no CO2-emissions because there's no plane that brings the clothes to Bangladesh and back to Germany(or wherever else). I know-if we don't buy our clothes there the children and families don't even get this small amount of money they're getting because they have this poor work but we can't keep on doing this.We can not go on repressing poor countries.Other ways need to be found.I don't see the problem.There is an overabundance of food and many other things in the industrial countries while people from the less and least developed countries are starving.I will try my best and avoid buying new clothes from now on.So you need to excuse me buying this H&m dress and sort of bra today...before I saw this film !! Some things you don't get at the flea market but I'll be going again tomorrow.I found two bras without straps for just 5 bucks and I was always looking for this kind of a bra and they even fit! Couldn't believe my luck.
A goodnight to everyone !

2010-06-28T14:25:00.000-07:00

Just a short question for my abiding commentators:
Do you have to enter a word before you can post a comment on my blog?
End of question.

2010-06-28T09:01:00.000-07:00

So,prom is over.

It was not a night of extraordinary happenings but it was fine.We danced until they turned the light on,telling us indirectly but authoritative that the party is over and we have to GO.

The best thing about having finished school is by far that in 3 days me and my cousin will be going to.......LONDON! Man,London is such an impressive city.It is fast,though. But there are huuge vintage markets and little shops and lovely hullabaloo at every corner and remarkable,exotic food.

My dear best friend and I. We love trees.

The girly-girls.Ah,I'm pretty unconfident with my hair and all that now that I see us by comparison.

And now I'm off changing € into pounds !

2010-06-25T09:11:00.000-07:00

Well,well.

Today I was wearing the new salmon skirt with another striped shirt.Because of the hotness outside I shaved my legs(yes,I have to) and went out without tights.Whew,that was new to me.But I'll spare myself showing you my lousy naked legs.

It's evening and tomorrow there will be celebrations all day long.First,there'll be a service at a huge church,then we will get our report cards and overmotivated students show off with some dances (I would have joined them like last year but for some reason they didn't want to dance Afro again,ah I loved it) and then in the evening we all will wear our best dresses,shiny shoes and neat fingernails.I am a little nervous.Proms are totally overrated anyway.

I will leave you with just a simple picture today and soon I'll try posting prom photos.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the nature !

2010-06-23T11:36:00.000-07:00

The streets are empty,crickets are chirring -or is it the whirring of some trumpet-like thing?- everyone's watching the World Cup.

I am alone tonight and I'm planning a nice and relaxing evening.

The first thing I did was cooking.Camembert and meat-free meat.Great.

Then I went outside to take some photos of the things I got at the flea market today.

Further I plan to..errr...sleep and sleep and ...sleep.I'm totally worn out.

But here are my latest finds:

A body(we call it body in Germany,a tight piece of cloth that is like a swimsuit and the upper part can be worn under a skirt or pants),a dress(I wanted to wear it for prom but..it doesn't fit!) and a salmon-coloured skirt( I got it for 30 ct.!)

I want to thank you dear girls again for your words,they made my day..definitely!

The Times They Are A-Changin'

2010-06-22T10:45:00.000-07:00

It might sound bizarre but my mother is in hospital and this is the best news in months.She is sick with a congenital disease and decided to go there on her own.

SO many good things happened!Our stepfather came earlier from work,he brought a bunch of flowers,they kissed for the first time in years,we 4 as a family walked through the hospital park,my mother put her wedding ring back on and the most amazing thing that let some tears come out was when my stepfather told my mother how much he praid in the last months and that on sunday evening he praid more than ever and lit a candle and then on monday morning my mother woke me up and asked me to get her to the hospital. Got it,Got it?

Honestly,I am grateful.

I just don't know what is about to come.

Maybe it's inappropriate to post today's outfit but this day is like any other day it is just a million times more..changing than others.

I'm wearing these kinds of shirts everyday now.I just don't have time,or well,I don't MAKE time for this.I have other things to fill my time these days.

Tomorrow there will be my beloved flea market in the early morning,after a visit at my dear mother,buying important things and then work,work,work.

I hope this night won't be ruined with nightmares as the last nights.It might be too much without thinking and handling it all before going to bed.Keep on reading Freud and making some time for thinking might help.

Goodnight,Goodnight !

2010-06-20T10:13:00.000-07:00

Next saturday we will have our prom.
I am not very excited about it and don't want to make a big thing of it.

But nonetheless I wanted a dress,a classic and simple dress,not conspicuous or uncomfortable.I didn't put much effort into searching a good one when my sister and our cousin and I went to Cologne.I am wearing skirts or dresses all day long but it's always rather baggy clothes and comfortable ! I have no idea what to wear for prom without looking vain or styled. Do you?

Maybe I will return this one. The neckline is WAY too plunging.(I don't know how to say that,a plunging neckline?).And it's a little tight and everything.I imagined to wear this dress with black tights and red wedges,simple red wedges without bow ties or any other adornment.

Ohh man.No.This is all too much.I am totally confused about this prom.

The black bow tie around my waist.

The velly pletty lace,said the chinese man.

2010-06-16T01:59:00.000-07:00

I found 4 gaaarreat pieces !

These shoes were just 1 € ! Couldn't believe it.

This..errrr..pretty shirt is for my American friend.He always wears the craziest shirts and it has American flags, American cars and American skylines and of course the Statue of Liberty on it.It will be a little present for him when I'll go to visit him this summer.I'm excited about how he will like it !

This shirt is for me.It's a little too big at the shoulders because it's a man's shirt but oh well.

And this dream of a dress will be me summer dress,after I have shortened it of course.

2010-06-15T13:14:00.000-07:00

2010-06-15T02:42:00.000-07:00

I don't have much time.I should be en route by now.

2010-06-14T14:20:00.000-07:00

That girl she's a nut.

I start perishing from this work.

The worst,WORST thing about all that's happening in my life these days is that everything is so fast.

You know,there were days when I walked to school,listening to my silent music in empty streets on cold mornings.It was the best time I've ever had.Now I struggle to get it back.

The one thing I enjoy is riding my bike at 5am in the morning where there are barely any cars out on the streets.I would always pass a certain corn field.The einkorn(it should be einkorn;this is what I found out after long nights of researches) is at its peak and it has a fluffy top(appearances are deceiving!) and it glows golden when the sun rises in the early morning.I am always touched about the nature appearing at its best.(Every morning again I wonder why some people feel such inner happines about a beautiful nature.I think it goes back to when people actually lived in the nature,their houses made of woods,leaves,mud.It was all they had,it is their and our home and it's all we have in the end.)

This lets me think of four other more or less important things spinning in my head:

1.Dinosaurs. I just watched a documentation about dinosaurs with the kiddos.K-girl asked me how they died out and I answered it was because of the Ice Age.While Tommi-boy said it was because of a meteorite(like the meteorite banging in Yucatán that gave this peninsula its characteristical shape and the spalling chunks probably caused the Cenotes.I would give SO much for swimming there one day,having an Arielle-like fish tail &having my dolphin friends swimming next to me).Still,my question isn't answered,I hate giving wrong answers.I will do a research.

2.Tonight I recognized again how much I like Hans Zimmers song titles.(Except for one,maybe two songs the melodies are not worth knowing). 'My Mind Rebels At Stagnation','Ah,Putrefaction','Discombobulate'.

Ahhhh,well.They are not THAT good.I learned two new words at least.PUTREFACTION !

3.Another new word,or should I say another new saying I learned today is 'mind you'.I will surely keep this in mind,always looking for adequate words and exclusive sentences.I know,it's not that successful.

4.Today I have seen another documentation about Indians.The first thing I will not forget that quick(little new anecdote) is that real Indians indeed never wore headbands! It was a Hollywood invention to fix the wigs because actors would fall from their horses quite often. Interesting how everything is so cohesive:Indians,wearing headbands,Indie music,wearing headbands.Ok,not cohesive at all.In my head it worked out!The word Indian is taken from Indio,a neologism which was created because Cristóbal Colón-Christopher Columbus- thought he'd reached India,anyone noticing the similarity between those words?).Another thing that's very remarkable is the beauty of south American people.Peruvians,yes I think I can say so,are the most beautiful people I know.

Good.Finally.So we got this part.

Now we can talk about clothes.

I found 4 pieces this weekend.(Not on a flea market,not thrifted,not cheap.I should be ashamed of meself).

Not worn creative.It is late and there's not enough coffee left to create a representative combination.

It's awful,I wish I hadn't spent that much money without trying it.

Good,good,blessed night.

2010-06-10T04:09:00.000-07:00

I don't know what happened today.

First I was wearing a pretty and comfortable skirt with nice blue shoes.'No,too tarted up for work', I thought.And there I saw the only pants that's been left after my wardrobe revolution.I had that picture of Jean Seberg wearing her Herald Tribune shirt in my head.

I love the length of her trousers.(Well, I don't want to give the impression that the trousers are the best thing in this gorgeous movie. Believe me,they are not.)
Anyway.My outfit doesn't look a bit like hers but...well,I needed a plausible excuse for my pants today.

Hm,no.I don't feel comfortable.Too bad I need to leave for work RIGHT now.
Adieu.

2010-06-04T07:41:00.000-07:00

Ohhh my,I made it. I have finished school.I am SO confident with the grades I got,they were better than ever.I was close to crying when they told me I don't have to be tested again and that I have passed everything.The two men passing me the paper laughed because I was so shaky and close to a collapse.

Right after I went to a store to make myself a little present and this dress is the result.

Looks like I am pregnant,but let me tell you- I'm not.

A good weekend.

2010-06-03T13:47:00.000-07:00

My (step)father went sailing today.He's bought a nice little,green sail boat & asked us to come with.

While he's been out on the sea(or should I say lake as it IS a lake) my sister and I walked along the shore and burned our foreheads,shoulders,feet,noses,cheeks and arms,this is every uncovered part of our bodies.

When he was back,the three of us started to scrub the little nutshell.Off went the shoes,up went the pants. I love walking barefoot.With the blue bucket and the wooden scrubber and the bubblegum-blue phosphate-free cleaning lotion we cleaned it.I somehow loved it.It reminded me of Free Willy,without Willy. But I love this Holland-feeling.Being in the sea,having sand everywhere,walking barefoot all day,hearing the thunderous wind,coming home in the evening,taking a shower and eat fish somewhere,maybe a glass of white wine and cigarettes.

Last year I once made a several-hour-walk,collected shells,walked through the sea and listened to the music that reminds me of my love.

Louis Armstrong for instance.
It was the time that I read Sidonie Colette,that oh so inspiring girl,it was the time I took my bike and drove 1 hour to that internet café each day.Yet the saddest and at the same time the most inspiring time I've had.

I didn't want to talk that much.This is not what I was wearing today(no no,definitely no skirt at the windy,thunderous beach).It is what I came up with when I was bored and saw this pretty outfit Modesty is Pretty was wearing recently: http://modestyispretty.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-more-days.html . I tried copying it but it's lousy and doesn't have a use.I should be creative and invite my own outfits.Anyway,I loved it a bunch!

2010-06-02T05:40:00.000-07:00

I missed the flea market today.I woke up and the alarm clock said 1:40 pm,oh my gawd,I was shocked.But it was a mistake,I must have changed the time while I was half asleep.Interesting,I know.

I was glad it was early.I had time to write a letter.

The day with the two little people was good.Really.I must say I am quite proud how we three managed to turn the messiest - MESSIEST- room with the most pink clothes I have ever seen in one place into the pink little palace it has been before.I also cleaned up the kitchen,it needed three dishwashers full with dishes.It was quite hard,some dishes yet had mildew on them and I found bowls with dried milk or honey or whatever in it that I couldn't even scratch it off with a sharp knife!We played at least 5 games and Tommi-boy started talking to me.They went nuts when we started playing Memory!

Jeez!

Just got into something.

It's June,I know,I know.But this little ensemble could be a golden Christmas Tree in the middle of the night with big snowflakes.How's that?

Y los zapatos rojos.

Today will be me first official day at the family that engaged me.

Both the children are very pretty.The boy looks like Tommi.

Anyway,for this occasion I decided to wear pants,well not real pants,rather leggings.I just can't force myself to wear jeans or other pants ever again.

So this is what I'm wearing:

I was walking.And this picture was taken absolutely incidentally...err....really!

Me and me sister have been invited to a market in Holland.

One could find Kibbeling-that's baked fish-,new clothes and mountains of fabric.I found a white linen fabric which is like a canal/pipe/tube,I don't know how to say it better,two elastic ribbons and a ribbon with floral print.All was oh so cheap !

The linen.I got into it to show that it's a tunnel.

This purdy ribbon will serve as a belt or as the seam of my planned linen skirt.

It was a good day,I am confident.
I met my dearest best friend,we sat down by a river and talked.A good thing.
A goodnight to everyone.

On my search for Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart I found this VERY interesting..graphic.
I wonder how much of it is close to truth in the U.S.This is not meant as an America-critique.

It really made me laugh...partly.

Good Weekend - Bad Weekend

2010-05-24T02:53:00.000-07:00

It's just a harmonic and perfect time when we 5 sisters are together strolling over the fleamarket or simply sitting on the meadow when it's hot, burning our necks because we have been abandonned from the house. We can do tricks with our hands and fingers,we make faces all the time and noone is the leader.People fall to their knees when they see us.(Really!)

It doesn't matter when 3 out of 5 want to buy stupid girly-princess-movies for 1 € on the flea market,everyone pays their percentage.

Yes,we were on the flea market on saturday.I want to make them see what treasures can be found.Surprisingly,my second youngest half-sister found a bag & asked for going there every weekend.We also bought quite a lot of videos and DVD's.

This time it was more looking for this boy that leads the cars to their places at 5.30 am.My eyes had a hard time with this distraction but nonetheless I managed to find some interesting pieces.

This looks like a dirndl,a bavarian dress,and I don't quite know what to do with it.

I'm helpless.I don't know how to turn my photos.This here is the pattern of the dress,my shoulder.

This belt was pretty eye-catching.It has these two golden pendants,I have never seen such a thing on belts.Had to have it,it was just 1€.

The last things I bought were a book by Franz Kafka and The Maltese Falcon with the V-chinned Humphrey Bogart on its front.

I read this book on the terrace yesterday night.Chet Baker-like music was playing somewhere,very silent,the sky was black but still it was warm.Such a perfect evening.

'I'm a fool to want you' by Billie Holiday is my recommendation.

It is 10 am.In 5 hours and 30 minutes I will have my last test.It's the worst of all.There will be 4 people sitting in a big,silent room,watching me,listening to all I say and asking me questions I might not be able to answer.

I can talk about Bad Governances,about Yucatán,I know that East Timor is the least developed country in the world,the Grameen Bank helps poor people in Bangladesh-it's a good invention!-,I know the blue banana in Europe that crosses London,Brussels,Frankfurt,Munich,Milano,Bologna and Rome,north-to-south-disparities and west-to-east-disparities,cities in the Middleage had a church in the center and a market place,then came a circle around it where people lived and worked and everything was surrounded by the town wall,I know gentrification,urbanization,suburbanization,fragmentation,outsourcing,agglomeration,first to fifth world,the Human Development Index,the evil Terms of Trade,gated communities,slums,pavement dwellers.

Might not be enough.

For this occasion I was looking for something very comfortable, I won't allow myself to concentrate on my clothes more than on Geography.

I'm off to my learning table now where my coffee is waiting.

As I can't figure how this here works we'll have another post for further photos of our findings ,,

First this dress. I plan to cut the lower part of this dress to make it a jacket.

This is a skirt that I'm about to shorten.I'm not sure about it.Very vain and stylish.

Same goes for this bag.

A flat and un-vain bag,quite simple.

Both bags for 9,-

Today was very sunny but windy.The flea market was rather disappointing.Most booths were just to sell cell phones,cleaning products or technical hullabaloo.Either way we found 5 pieces and a lumberjack shirt which doesn't look as we planned.It's so warming and soft anyways.

The air was full of polls,thank God we're not allergic,so little white pieces flew around everywhere,the pavement was like a foamy carpet.

A goodnight!

Well,my sisdaw and I decided to make a blog about our flea market finds.Saturday we worked there and made some money but we bought new old things the same day.Here is what we found,plus the finds from today:

This is just a simple blue somehwat BUT I plan to paint birds on it,light blue.

This jacket was just 2 BUCKS I guess and after I'll have fixed the collar,it'll look so nice.

This skirt has already been shortened (within an hour!) and with the belt that I thrifted as well it looks as I wanted it to.

This coat...it was just 3 € so I thought I'd take it.I mean I see how old-fashioned it looks but I'll try to shorten it and make it a cosy,slackly jacket.

Well.
I suddenly had this idea of having my own blog.I don't know if my words sound kind or if the readers will feel bored.
Before you read on I advise you to play Hold On,Hold On by Neko Case. Because it is as funny as real love & it's as real as true love.
Maybe this'll turn into a blog where I post my daily outfits.Or people can write to me like: "My relation with this girl is the helluva relation!".Or this'll be a playground for anecdotes.(I love anecdotes,I don't know what this word means,actually...anecdote,what language is this taken from? To me anecdotes are little stories and noteworthinesses I would always write down quickly and now those little anecdote-notes are everywhere.Phyllis!Henry!Y'should be ashamed of yourselves! This was indeed not an anecdote but a joke.Don't forget- Phyllis and Henry are fleas.)Or I will offer translations.Or products made of fabric (skirts,socks,muffs,necklaces made of collar,brooches,dresses(anybody want a lousy Alice in Wonderland dress?).Or I will talk about music.Or photos.
What I will certainly not do is pouring my heart out.You never know who might be watching you.Well,I regard this as the second biggest problem.It is not anybody elses business.'Mind Your Own Business' is what even Hank Williams Jr. was saying.Not that he's regarded as someone influencing or important.
End.
