Down the rabbit hole...

I have to admit, after putting pictures from Milan on the blog, I wanted to savor the moment
 for as long as I could and not updating and seeing it as the most current thing here
 calmed me down, because I really didn't want to leave...

But things are moving forward and now I'm getting used to my new routine and learning a lot.

And since there is no photographer in sight (the boyfriend is absent and my super
talented Karen is in Milano :)) ) there was no way for me to document my outfits,
even though they were quite interesting for the last week or so...I guess I will have to recreate.

For now I will concentrate on what still takes lot's of my time and it's decorating...
Maybe this blog will soon reincarnate as a design blog?
 (I don't think so but I myself started to follow many many design blogs as a result)

Fresh flowers I buy every week. I started doing this when I was living in Milan.

 Flowers always cheer me up :)

Vintage wallpaper that was given to us by a friend for a door restoration project. 

These were the leftovers that I didn't feel like throwing away.

These pictures (second one is in the image below) came from my grand grand mother. 

I have no idea where she got them from and how old they are, 

but I'm sure glad that I had enough brains not to ruin them when 

I got them at 12 years old. 

The pictures are printed on what looks like silk and they are pretty amazing!

I always felt that Laduree packaging is too good to throw away. 

It is part of my bedroom decoration now :)

The pink chair has a neon friend in shape of this ultra bright orange fabric that is soon to become a skirt and hopefully a small pillow as well...

Vintage doorknobs from the 60's I ordered on Ebay. 

Yet to install them on the doors, but I love them so much!

Some goodies I brought from Milan. 

The bra is just too pretty to keep in the closet :)

The rabbit ring is another cheap and great find at my favorite accessories 

shop in Chinatown, close to where I lived in Milan.

Hope I will soon be able to take some outfit pics...

Have a great week!!!

The results

Well, while I gave up on my dream of being a fashion designer (I love clothes but not making them), I naturally still want my diploma, so here are the results of the design project I was talking about earlier...

I still have to add this knitted golden net over the shirt but the two garments are ready...I got some help with the top, since my sewing machine is from the 70's it cannot sew light fabrics nicely...

Later this week I'm doing a photo shoot with a professional photographer and a "model" but I couldn't wait to see how it looks so I made my mom to take a picture:) I made this top also in yellow (took a pic myself as you see) and I plan to live in them for the whole summer...light and breezy:)
So now I have to accessorize...I'm thinking chunky and edgy accessories...
