Dracula [culture]

I was just looking at the french musical 'Dracula, entre l'amour et la mort' (Dracula, between love and death) and I realized I didn't know anything about the story at all. So I searched over the internet to find the original story (by Bram Stoker), I was suprised to see that even though it's a very old novel, the style of it is totally modern. The book is actually a selection of letters and documents written by people who were involved with Dracula in some way. I must say I'm totally fascinated by that kind of things, it makes it feel so real. I'm off to the library to get a copy.

Part 1 of the musical on Youtube:

Ballet shopping [my life]

So I went ballet shopping today, I wanted to buy some ballet costume inspired things as I have decided that is going to be my summer look. I was quiet dissapointed to see that there's not a lot of fresh light colors in the shops currently, most of them don't have there (complete) summercollection yet unfortunately. I did buy some nude colored flats, a white top and gray overknee legwarmers, I guess it's a start. I also wanted to buy nude colored pumps, so I can switch from flat to heels without ruin my outfit, but I couldn't find the right pair that looks good but is also possible to walk in. Now that I think about it, I should probably also get a new bag to go with the ballerina style. Not sure what kind of bag that should be. I haven't bought any bags lately because I just can't find a bag that doesn't look like something I already have. Maybe I'm just more of a shoes-person, because no matter how many pairs of shoes I have, I can always buy new ones that aren't alike of anything I own.

I just looked around my room, and saw the great mess it has become in only one day (I swear I don't know how it happens, one moment it's totally cleaned up and the next you can't even walk because of all the clothes and shoes lying around everywhere). I have to admit my wardrobe has grown in about a year to twice it's original size, since I started having jobs a year ago so I could actually afford buying new things every week (it's bad I know, I just can't walk around knowing that there's money on the bank for me and not buying anything, I'd better move to a dessert where there's no shopping center anywhere close). But having a lot is a good thing you know, it's very important to look good, we're living in a very visual world, the inside is no longer important. (OK, I didn't even believed that myself)

Black swan inspiration photos [my life]

Black swan inspiration [my life]

Today I decided to go to the library to get some magazines for inspiration. And it crossed my mind that lately I'm inspired by films, people I see and art, and not so much anymore by fashionshows or designers. For example I red an article about 'Black Swan' (a film with Nathalie Portman and Mila Kunis about balletdancers) and feeld very inspired by the costumes and whole ballet style of dressing. I like balet costumes, everything I love in is there, the legwarmers, nude colors, tights, buns, skirts... This is perfect.

Princess Victoria [inspiration]

Like Coco Chanel said: A lady should be classy and fabulous. 

In that case, she'd be proud of Princess Victoria of Sweden. 

Studs [inspiration]

I'm totally in love with this great studded leggings! I'm thinking about finding a way to make them myself, as they probably are very expansive, it will take me of the streets for a few weeks too.
