Voyage Voyage
Who
doesn't like to travel? Not many of us can afford visiting different
destinations on a regular basis, but we all would love to do so. Why is
traveling so special? Probably beacuse it's a leap forward from your
everyday life, it's interesting and exciting, you end up getting to know
different cultures and learn new things in general, you get to
experience life to the fullest, you become more in touch with the world
and people around you and you get a special kind of inspiration for yourself by doing all those things.
The
atmosphere of the next fashion editorial named "Left Hand Drive" is
quite cinematic, dark and mystified; it doesn't represent a tipical
travel experience I mentioned earlier, but just the poetic daydream of
going somewhere ... in an oldfashioned way.
CROATIAN:
Postoji li osoba koja ne voli putovati? Većina nas, što zbog poslovnih obveza, a što zbog financija, nije u mogućnosti priuštiti si redovita putovanja - no da jesmo u prilici - putovali bismo stalno, zar ne? Čar putovanja krije se u mnogim faktorima koje ne može zamijeniti niti jedno drugo iskustvo. Kada putujemo pruža nam se jedinstvena prilika da barem na neko vrijeme "napustimo" uhodanu svakodnevicu, uz to je sve oko nas toliko zanimljivo i uzbudljivo (novo!), bivamo obogaćeni upoznavanjem različitih kultura i općenito novim znanjima, živimo život "punim plućima", naš osjećaj povezanosti sa svijetom i ljudima raste, a uz sve to inspiracija koju nam putovanje pruža traje dugo. Iako inspiracija koju nudi sljedeći filmski editorial nazvan "Left Hand Drive" nema previše veze sa putovanjem koje sam opisala, fotografije bi vas ipak trebale "odvesti" na svojevrsni voyage.
U modnom smislu editorial naginje staromodnom, damskom modnom stilu; atmosfera je mračna, tajnovita i potiče maštu na jedan imaginaran put prema nepoznatom ...

I can't think of a better music inspiration for this post than Lana Del Rey ...
Simply red
WHAT IS RED?
Red is a sunset
Blazing and bright.
Red is feeling brave
With all your might.
Red is a sunburn
A spot on your nose.
Sometimes red, is a red red rose.
Red squiggles out when you cut your hand.
Red is a brick
And the sounds of a band.
Red is hotness
You get inside
When you’re embarrassed
And want to hide.
Fire-cracker, fire-engine
Fire-flicker red –
And when you’re angry
Red runs through your head.
Red is an Indian
A Valentine heart,
The trimmings on
A circus cart.
Red is a lipstick
Red is a shout
Red is a signal
That says, “Watch out!”
Red is a great big
Rubber ball.
Red is the giant-est
Colour of all.
Red is a show-off,
No doubt about it –
But can you imagine
Living without it?
Blazing and bright.
Red is feeling brave
With all your might.
Red is a sunburn
A spot on your nose.
Sometimes red, is a red red rose.
Red squiggles out when you cut your hand.
Red is a brick
And the sounds of a band.
Red is hotness
You get inside
When you’re embarrassed
And want to hide.
Fire-cracker, fire-engine
Fire-flicker red –
And when you’re angry
Red runs through your head.
Red is an Indian
A Valentine heart,
The trimmings on
A circus cart.
Red is a lipstick
Red is a shout
Red is a signal
That says, “Watch out!”
Red is a great big
Rubber ball.
Red is the giant-est
Colour of all.
Red is a show-off,
No doubt about it –
But can you imagine
Living without it?

Kao savršena glazbena inspiracija za Valentinovo ovoga puta je došla na red mlada engleska pjevačica Rebecca Ferguson koja je postala poznata javnosti po svojem sudjelovanju u sedmoj sezoni poznatog britanskog reality showa The X Factor. Osim što je stekla milijune poklonika i zamalo pobijedila, pružena joj je besplatna glazbena promocija na svjetskoj razini. Publici se krajem 2011. godine predstavila albumom "Heaven" te singlom "Nothing's Real But Love". Video spot za njezin najnoviji singl "Too good to lose" je kao stvoren za vizualnu inspiraciju crvenom bojom, a i audio doživljaj kako originala tako i remixa (by Seamus Haji) itekako je inspirativan.
This time my Valentine's music inspiration is English singer-songwriter Rebecca Ferguson
She became notable as the runner-up of the seventh series of famous British reality show The X Factor.
Her first single "Nothing's Real But Love" was released in November 2011 on the debut album named "Heaven". Rebecca's latest music video for the song "Too good to lose" is all about red - watch the following video below plus take a listen to the remix by brilliant UK music producer Seamus Haji!

Efekt jednostavnosti
While thinking about the inspiration for my Valentine's Day post I
realized that I just can't publish another glamorous fashion editorial,
although I found a special one that consisted of photographs which had
the "effect of flames" on them. Fire and flames will always stand as
symbols of love but glamorous hair, golden suits and glitter - they just
won't do. So I eliminated the editorial and remembered that a picnic theme
is the pefect inspiration for my love post. Real love and the emotion
behind it is so simple and modest - just like a picnic on a sunny day.
Unfortunately, marketing made us forget that nature, life and love are
free and they can't be bought by couture dresses and gems.
CROATIAN:
Namjeravala sam povodom nadolazećeg blagdana zaljubljenih objaviti editorial u kojemu su modne fotografije prošarane efektom vatre. Iako se taj "efekt plamena" baš lijepo veže uz asocijaciju ljubavi i editorial se čini više no prigodan, shvatila sam da je preglamurozan za post posvećen Valentinovu.
Ljubav nije glamur, to nisu šljokice, zlato, svila niti bogate kovrče. Kao inspiracija za pravi feeling Valentinova poslužila mi je tema piknika. Iako nikada nisam bila na pravom pikniku, ne znam ima li boljeg primjera za postizanje povezanosti sa prirodom, životom, jednostavnošću i istinom. A baš to je ljubav, samo što upravo ta jednostavnost ne paše marketinškim stručnjacima jer čovjeka ne potiče na materijalnu potrošnju.

I found these beautiful images (named Vintage 50s Love Shoot) through The Knotty Bride, a web site which provides unique, beautiful and daily wedding inspirations for every tipe of bride (plus tips and advice, too). The mission of "The Knotty Bride" is to bring every kind of bride the latest and greatest in wedding ideas and answers, and ultimately bring joy and beauty to the planning experience.
Ove prekrasne ugođajne fotografije kriju se iza imena Vintage 50s Love Shoot, a pronašla sam ih na američkoj stranici The Knotty Bride koja prati vjenčanja na način da idejama, savjetima a prvenstveno fotografijama dočarava onaj istinski osjećaj tog velikog dana i nudi svim budućim mladencima pregršt inspiracije.

La Bandida
When you've run out of ways to
handle this sometimes hectic world, you can always choose to play a
leading role in your own movie. Choose the part of a rebel who handles
reality by making fun of all the problems and things that worry him.
It's magnificent to be a leader of your own crazy rebellion by behaving
and looking like an individual thinker who follows his own heart and
isn't restricted in any way. Try to become a person who is
selfconfident, strong, brave and unique by tailoring your own brave
fashion statement. Sometimes it's time to take off our serious "uniform"
and walk around in a flourescent suit carrying a big gold chain around
our neck, just like Ali G. By doing so we are getting rid off that
burden of seriousness and it seems like every problem is in fact
solvable. Yes, fashion combined with the change of attitude can do
that.
A real fighter
knows that from time to time it's crucial to change their own style and
approach the world from the other side. My inspiration for these
thoughts was the editorial from Vogue Spain, February 2012. This
"dangerous" editorial is called "Bandida", which is Spanish for
"Bandit".
CROATIAN:
Kada ponestane načina kako izaći na kraj sa stvarima koje nas opterećuju, uvijek ostaje jedan način - stilsko uživljavanje u buntovničku ulogu osobe koja svojim ponašanjem zapravo ismijava stvarnost oko sebe, bilo da je riječ o općenitim svjetonazorima koji nam nisu dragi ili konkretnoj situaciji. Baš je super barem na jedan dan postati takva osoba i odašiljati energiju individualca koji pliva protiv svih struja, slijedeći samo i isključivo samoga sebe, osobu iza koje se krije samopouzdanje, borbenost, čvrst stav, hrabrost, unikatnost u kretanju i izražavanju. Čemu ponekad glumiti lažnu pristojnost kada sve što želimo jest izaći iz svoje "uniforme" i hodati po svijetu u flourescentnom odijelu sa zlatnim lancem oko vrata, smijući se tako u lice svim brigama ovoga svijeta. Ima li boljeg načina od tjeranja životne ozbiljnosti neuračunljivom neozbiljnošću? Pravi borac s vremena na vrijeme mijenja stil i uniformu, baš kao pravi bandit.

The musical part of inspiration for this post is British performer M.I.A.
She's been around the music scene for eight years, we know her best by her catchy single "Paper Planes". Her style statement is quite eclectic in a very good way, in fact her two biggest inspirations in making music are guerilla art and fashion. She's rude, brave, authentic, convincing and very inspirational. She's a music bandit. Here is her newest single "Bad girls".
Što se glazbenog dijela ovog posta tiče, kao inspiracija je poslužila britanska izvođačica M.I.A.
Iako je na glazbenoj sceni već osam godina, čini se da će njezina karijera krenuti uzlazno baš u 2012. godini. Sjećamo je se po singlu "Paper Planes", a ono što je najzanimljivije je da oduvijek gura svoj eklektički stil usporedno s glazbom te je čak i "modno pismena" za razliku od većine pop izvođača koje oblače vojske stilista. M.I.A. navodi guerilla art i modu kao svoje dvije najveće inspiracije. Ona je neozbiljna, bezobrazna, autentična i uvjerljiva - i modno vrlo zanimljiva. Glazbeni bandit. Pogled na njezin novi video uradak sve govori.
