CAUGHT IN TIME

Lida, Eva, Nina

Ta fotografija je čudovita. Nastala je nekega nedeljskega dopoldneva na bolšjem sejmu, in povem vam, ni lepšega kot preživeti dve sončni uri s prijateljicami, s katerimi smeha, kljub slabim novicam in kupom težav, ne manjka. Kava, sprehod, malo zabavnega stikanja, dragocena modna najdba(bravo Nina)- dragoceni trenutki, ki jih je Nina ovekovečila v starem ogledalu. Kot, da bi se znašle v neki drugi dimenziji, za vedno.

LA MUSA DELLA MODA

Pred kratkim sem poslušala odlomek neke simfonije. Zanimivo, kako lahko potegneš določene vzporednice med različnimi umetnostnimi svetovi, mene je glasbeni odlomek spomnil, ne vedoč iz katerega obdobja je in kakšna je njegova zgodba o nastanku, na eno samo osebo iz modnega sveta. Karkoli se mi je podilo po mislih med poslušanjem, se mi, presentljivo, podi po mislih ko gledam fotke Anne dello Russo.

Anna preseneča. Ni po mojem okusu in večkrat se vprašam, kako je lahko navlekla nase tisti določen outfit ali kako ji uspe kombinirati vse tiste dizajnerske kose, da na njej nekako delujejo. Najbrž si ne more pomagati; če imaš polno omaro Balmaina, YSL-a, Prade in Vuittona,si v izjemni dilemi vsako jutro. Nič nenavadnega, če se gospa preobleče še najmanj trikrat v istem dnevu. Njen stil zagotovo ne pomirja in ni ravna črta. Prava beseda, ki jo opiše je opulence in čeprav si s čudovitimi fotkami najbolj slavnih blogerjev ne moreš pomagati misleč na svojo omaro, jih kar ne moreš nehati gledati. Anna je prava Italijanka, ne boji se zlata, tigrastih vzorcev, golih nog(v svojih poznih 40-tih). Niti ne gre za kič, gre za čisto, enostavno navdušenje nad Modo, gre za strast, ki postane del vsakdanjosti.
Mogoče se noben pravi glasbeni navdušenec ne bi strinjal, da klasično glasbo primerjam z modno muzo. Sem pa sveto prepričana, da bi oba svetova trčila v trenutku, ko bi jaz odprla vrata Annine garderobne sobe-v tem veličastnem trenutku si v ozadju ne predstavljam nič drugega, kot čudovit strasten konec (Mahlerjeve) simfonije.

LENTAMENTE MUORE

Dies slowly he who transforms himself in slave of habit,

repeating every day the same itineraries,

who does not change brand,

does not risk to wear a new colour,

and doesn't talk to whom doesn't know.

Dies slowly he, who makes of television his guru.

Dies slowly he who avoids a passion, 

who prefers black to white,

and the dots "i" to a whirpool of emotions,

just those ones that recover the gleam from the eyes,

smiles from the yawns,

hearts from the stumbling and feelings.

Dies slowly he who does not overthrow the table when is unhappy at work,

who does not risk the certain for the uncertain,

to go toward that dream,

that is keeping him awake.

Who does not allow, at least one time in life,

to flee from sensate advices.

Dies slowly he, who does not travel,

does not read, does not listen to music,

does not find grace in himself.

Dies slowly he, who destroys his self love,

who does not except somebody's help.

Dies slowly he, who passes his days complaining of his bad luck

or incessant rain.

Dies slowly he who abandons a project before starting it,

who does not ask over a subject that does not know

or who does not answer when being asked about something he knows.

Dies slowly he, who does not share his emotions, joys and sadness,

who does not trust, who does not even try.

Dies slowly he, who does not relive his memories

and continues getting emotional as if living them at that moment.

Dies slowly he, who does not intent exelling,

who does not learn from the stones of the road of life,

who does not love and let somebody love.

Let's avoid death in soft quotes, remembering always,

that to be alive demands an effort much bigger that the simple fact of breathing.

Martha MEDEIROS

Čeprav boste to poezijo našli med zadetki, povezanimi s Pablom Nerudo, pa besede v resnici pripadajo brazilski pesnici Marthi Medeiros. Poezija je po mojem mnenju čudovita prav zaradi svoje preprostosti načina sporočanja, najraje pa jo berem v italijanščini(preberite TU). 

Dobro jo preberite.

Even though you'll find this poem associated with Pablo Neruda, it was actually written by Martha Medeiros. This poem is so beautiful because of it's simplicity, and I love to read it in italian(HERE).

Read it carefully.

The trench connection

 Burberry ss 2010 

 

Not only I loved the collection, I just know that I would look great in this:) Why to I have such an expensive taste???

And I love spring, winter was way too long, hopefully I'll be much more creative that in this past few months. Plus, I am learning french(have I mentioned that?). Life is quite good actually...
Bisous:)

P.s.

Happy birthday Lida's likes!

AND THANKS TO EVERY READER !!!
