Antiquity

I've been interested in antiquity (as in ancient history) for quite some time - I find old civilizations like the Egyptians or the Romans incredibly inspiring and I find their engineering and scientific achievements really incredible. I found a really great way to learn a little more about them - a YouTube channel called AllHistories  has really many documentaries about... well, all of history. Or some of it at least. They're quite nicely done actually, I wasn't even falling asleep or anything. It's quite a nerdy way to spend a sunny afternoon, but hey, don't judge me! :)

How to Wear: Polka Dots

Polka dots, an all-time classic, seems to be one of the hottest trends du jour. It seems like all the big designers of our time featured a few polka dot printed dresses in their F/W 2011 collection. If you're unsure how to wear this trend or are just looking for some source of inspiration, read on!

Polka dots give off a vibe of innocence, so they are perfect for creating the popular school-girl look. Pair your polka dot skirt with a pair of high socks and a simple blouse for a sweet outfit which will bring you back to your time as a Goody Two-Shoes times.

But polka dots are also very sexy and feminine. By combining them with high heels, a tight pencil skirt or an extravagant straw hat you can easily create a glamorous Tinseltown look.

Those of you looking for something a little edgier should try covering yourselves in polka dots from head to toes. Add lots of jewelry, high heels and perhaps a pair of sunglasses - et voilà, your trendy ensemble is ready!

If you are going for an even bolder look, don't be afraid to throw some color into the mix! Different prints - especially animal ones - are an added bonus, but don't go overboard! :)

When you get tired of all the previous intense and colorful looks, feel free to slip into a simple black and white number. Polka dots look great on blouses, skirts and even shorts, so don't be afraid to incorporate them into your everyday express looks!

Finally, if you are still feeling uninspired, have a look at this lady, turquoisepassion. Somehow I feel like she picked the wrong username - polkadotpassion would have suited her much better in my opinion :)

Alice in Wonderland

I'm beginning to feel like I should be doing more reading for my university, but I'm on an insane lazy streak which does not allow me. All my heart desires lately is to sit in front of the computer and watch reruns of TV series, which is something that's really strange for me. Until last year I've been an avid series hater, but after being introduced to How I Met Your Mother and The Office I've warmed up to them a little. And now I may have discovered just about the best thing ever. What is it called? The Real Housewives of New Jersey. It's just unbelievably believable - seriously! shocking, I know - and hilarious. I don't even hate the ladies or find them stupid as I do with reality shows like Big Brother or Jersey Shore, I really feel like they're real people with real emotions, issues and personalities. Ah, what a strange obsession for a girl like me!

Do any of you know or watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey? Who is your favorite character? I'd probably have to say Jacqueline and Theresa, but I kind of have a soft spot for all of them. Apart from some of the children - isn't Ashley such a little brat? I'm her age and I can't stand her, she acts like a 13-year old. I also don't like Milania too much, she's horribly spoiled... But then again, it's the money that just goes round and round that makes the show so fun to watch ;)

I feel like I have nothing useful to contribute to you verbally today, so here are some photos for you instead!

I Got The Moves Like Jagger

Hello again! Ha, told you I'd be back soon. Didn't believe me, did ya now? Ya, I know, I've been a horrible blogger over the past few couple of months. First and foremost there were my finals, university interviews and all and then came the passionately anticipated holidays. Ah, what a magical word that can be for an IB student in Year 12. But alack alas, alas alack (I still know my Shakespeare, what a smart cookie! ;)), I survived and my fragile psyche is slowly recovering. 

On a different note (did you notice how I always begin my paragraphs like this? I just can't seem to be able to justify making a jump to a new paragraph and feel the need to explain that decision to all of you somehow), my cousin just got to Vienna this Friday and she is an amazing photographer who actually bothers keeping up with all my bitching and whining about how the photos turned out. So props to her. The title is also a tribute to her, in a sense, we've become fairly obsessed with the new Maroon 5 song and kind of turn every single sentence we say out loud into a cover version of it. She even sang to me that she's going to the toilet. As I said, fairly obsessed. More like a nutcase, but oh well, 'nuff talking for the day.

Hairspray commercial r-i-g-h-t there. I'll give those poofy-haired models a run for their hard cold cash.

Dress: mysterious - there's no tag, ha; Shoes: Promod

And remember - I've got the moves like Jagger. Hell yeah. Ciao for now!

Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!

After yet another long long absence I am back to the blogosphere with a new post. I don't have any real reason as to why I've been gone so long, basically I just haven't been feeling very inspired and felt like I had nothing to contribute to all of you, my readers. Sometimes I feel like this blog is not growing, not moving anywhere. I feel like my outfits are uninspired, my photos aren't good enough... But hey, I am back now after all and I'm hoping to improve my blog so that it can continue to inspire you and hopefully grow along with me!

Enough rambling! Yesterday I went to see the movie Green Lantern and surprising as it is - I'm not much of a fan of superhero movies - I really liked it. Watching it in 3D I really felt like I was floating in some nightmarishly pretty galaxy, being pursued by a huge predator resembling the mummy who was eagerly lurking behind every corner, waiting to suck out my soul. In case you haven't seen the movie, I hope this wasn't much of a spoiler ;)

Dress: Promod; Shoes: Bata; Bracelet: Guess; Pearl ring: Swarovski

A question for all of you - do you prefer this larger size of the photos

or the slightly smaller one you can see in all of my previous posts?
