Day&Night

Sitting on the sofa in the cosy and warm hotel room in Stockholm, amazing city by the way with cool young people everywhere and reaaalllly low temperatures, awaiting for the clock to ring 12 o'clock for the new year to come, I'm trying to do what most people do today - do the balance check... 

It's been an year, personally for me, when many things changed. It's been an year when many projects were started and many travels were made. 

For 2011 my wish to myself is to finish these projects and travel even more. To live with and by love every day, and smile every single morning when I wake up and finish the day with the same face expression. There's nothing better than this - to wake up and go to sleep with a smile. And I can say that this year was not exactly like that. But I'm gonna do my best for next one. 

Nothing and nobody can take our happiness from us, so what we have to do is not let that happen and keep on fighting for it, whatever it takes. Search for it, then when you find it - know how to keep it and then just flower it the proper way to help it keep growing...just like a flower... 

Happy New Year to Everybody! 

Wishing you to find your flower this year and make a whole garden of it!

P.S. Oh by the way beyond everything this year I'm most proud of becoming a vegetarian. Next one I'll try to quit smoking! Big challenge!

 Saw one of my tops - Jamiroquai! Incredible concert at HMV forum in Kentish Town, London. Although I went by myself I felt I was with the whole crowd. You could notice everyone at that concert was an insane fan of him. His performance and voice in combination seen from first raw is something I just simply cannot describe in words... 

Performing "Corner Of The Earth"

As I've said many times - It's not important what your style is, what matters is having any style. 

Another very exciting thing for me at this trip was checking out Claire and Oliver Goldsmith showroom in Notting Hill

This here is Claire's new collection inspired in vintage styles. Amazing quality as I judge by my own IRWIN pair

As I said in my previous post dedicated to the brand, these are all different materials and colors you can have some of their vintage styles customized for you. Takes a month and goes about 450 pounds. I personally think it's a good deal. 

Downstairs, the private lounge with the whole vintage archive

The masters 

Walls are covered with their press and publications. Impressive! I mean lady Di!

1964 style 

A queue for Manolo Blahnik signing a book 

Couldn't miss a visit at National Gallery and stare to some of my fave paintings for minutes

Putting together furniture is never a challenge 

A Saturday walk at Portobello market

Amazing vintage shop 

And this one is taken through a glass..

Party at Rhythm Factory 

And some Fabric with Cvet and Patrice 

Amazing views on the way to the airport right after I wasn't let go on the plane and had to stay 1 more day 

More nights in costumes...

And most important...I quit my job at Nike where I've been working for the last two years and will dedicate myself to another project. 

Honestly I'm feeling quite moody as I've learned a lot in the Nike family for that time and I kinda could've progressed even more at my position if I'd stayed, but as always, I need to live on the edge and I will take risks in the name of dedicating myself closely to my passion - fashion. 

My last conference call

I've got 3 working days left at Nike and I start my studies at IED plus handling a special project, secret for now and still some shootings going on around...

Very happy with this last shoot for which there will be more details soon
