Inspiration: Mary Quant, three colors

Today on the blog post inspired by photographs of Mary Quant, which I saw a few weeks ago while sitting on my couch and watching TV...I don't know why, but these images for some reason, stopped in my head...And why three colors?I know it sounds more like the title of Kieslowski's trilogy, but that's not what it is about. Simply, black, white, and grey are the colors that represent the present time and appear first when I think about the style of Mary.

white shirt Cos,black loafers & Other Stories,  sequin flower sweater Jaeger,- absolutely love it! 

Unfortunately I can't remember where I found this handbag but it was too beautiful not to show it.

River Island flower ribbon necklace in black,

By the way, I popped in to River Island today and they have nice choice of necklaces, so maybe it is worth to go there.

V&A museum

I arrived at South Kensington tube station on a rainy morning, but despite the weather place immediately to my liking. All around small cafes not overloaded with people inside, inviting at the first glance in their direction.That time, however, my feet, or rather a map on my iPhone was leading me straight to the Victoria and Albert museum. I wanted to go there a long time ago but somehow, there was no opportunity or good company...
Already from the outside the building was impressive, not to mention its interior!I was truly amazed by the countless number of galleries, exhibitions and exhibited objects from various cultures and eras. Each room was like a totally different story in which you might get lost forgetting all the rest. I spent several hours there and still did not see everything I wanted.Certainly will be back in a few months,xx.

3 things WHISTLES

 

Today I want to share with you 3 things I have recently found on Whistles.
1. Chunky jumper 2. Limited nico low block shoes in black and white, 3. Perfect size and shape black satchel. These three pieces not only look good in combination with each other but also as individual components.Such a small update in your closet, and a lot more  styling possibilities.

CHINTI AND PARKER love

Chinti and Parker creates ethically made garments using high quality natural materials such as organic cotton, wool and cashmere.Certainly you won't be disappointed with the quality of products, but what really caught my eye at first was the graphics.I love their experimental approach to sweaters,and truly believe that geometric forms are fresh and modern. I'm also a huge fun of oversized t- shirt I can easily pair with my skinny pants.To say more, I'm quite happy with the simple elbow patch cardigans came back again to make me feel casual and stylish even while wearing dress underneath.What else can I say...cold days are coming so lets drink tea! x

MADEWELL Fall 2013 Lookbook

 

Today quickly something for autumn weather. Looking at this lookbook I have a feeling that someone has read in my mind, seriously...It is rare that I would wear all the clothes from one store!Usually there is only a few things that I like, but not this time and not for Madewell! To top it all, one of my favourites in the world of fashion- Caroline de Maigret played the role of ambassador to the collection, simply it could not be better x. 

Lola loves:THE SECRET VINTAGE FAIR

  

 

Probably some of you noticed that I was absent for a while, but I think I just needed a break. I even thought to end the existence of this blog however negative thinking was finally forced out thanks to the positive feedback I received so far from all of you guys! OK, that's enough about it.

Pictures that you see here were taken some time ago,(exactly during my blogging dilemmas, so sorry for a delay). THE SECRET VINTAGE FAIR I attended took place in Colchester in Liquid night club- former Hippodrome. I was there as a volunteer, but that did not stop me from taking pictures. I hope you like the mix of black and white and color photographs.That place was just filled with people, positive energy and music. Really...a few hours of fun in a retro style.

PERFECT BLAZER

I know the outside temperature is still high but I couldn't resist! I'm dying over this loose fit blazer from Zara's new collection.Such a simple thing and fits on almost every occasion...x

July wishlist

1. photo inspiration, tumblr, 2. white sneakers, Toast, 3. bracelet, Tokyo Jane via Atterley Road,

4. canvas shopper bag, Whistles, 5. dress, Topshop, 6. earrings, Cos

I can't remember the last time I was wearing khaki but as soon as I saw this Topshop dress I thought I might want to wear it again. Yes, khaki is the colour I desire.The dress like this goes hand in hand with the snake print canvas bag and simple jewellery in gold, don't you think?

Another thing I want is a new pair of classic white trainers, such as those I remember from the lessons of gymnastics.I saw similar at Superga, but finally decided on  these from Toast.

DRIES VAN NOTEN summer inspiration 2013

photo credits: DRIES VAN NOTEN

 

Probably most of you have seen this lookbook a few months ago,

but summer is still going on,so I thought it would be worth to recall it.

I like this collection for two reasons, firstly, the contrast between the masculinity and femininity is visible but not overdone.

Plaid shirt combined with a floral skirt  or trousers?

Yes, it works here, clearly showing its dynamics.

Secondly,I really like the loose fit of these clothes, seemingly careless but really very thoughtful.

A.P.C.- SALE!

Can you imagine all those lovely clothes are now on sale? Yes, some of them are  half price at the moment, so it is a good opportunity to complete you wardrobe...but... only if you really need it.
