Black & white stripes, Bratislava streetstyle

Another day, another girl, another play with proportions. Here I also like the mixing of different kind of stripes that perk up an otherwise simple black and white outfit. This girl was on the run to her exam, so good luck to all students struggling with their exams right now! You can do it :-)

Playing with proportions, Bratislava streetstyle

 

The weather here is taking a less sunny, more rainy, grey turn, which made me pull out some outfit pictures from a few weeks ago.

I really like the black and brown combination here with the shades of grey and beige. Also, notice the play with the proportions: short jacket with rolled up sleeves, long sweater. Light on the hair, heavy on the scarf. Topping it off with the new IT way of wearing your belt and the slouchy boots, just perfect! And last, but not least: the girl's sunny attitude :-) It makes this sad weather oh so more bearable.

Treasure hunt: woven basket

 

On one of the antique markets around I recently got hold of these two woven items - one is sort of a plate traditionally used for serving bread and the other one is just pure beauty :-) My guess is that it had been used for storing a sewing kit or small household items. On the bottom of it with an old fashioned hand-writing stands the signature of its owner: "Kovács Bözsi, Palást".

I guess I could use it for about the same purposes as its original owner. But have a strong feeling that from time to time is will be turned into a summer handbag :-)

The stylish wanderer, Bratislava streetstyle via Poland

 

Most often the things I admire in others are the ones I can not do. Like being a rocket scientist. Or a rock star. Or rocking a pair of stylish Mango wedges while traveling around. I don't know how this girl does it, but I saw her with my own eyes strolling through the pedestrian zone, looking at Saint Martin's Dome. The next day she was planning to visit Budapest. She has all my respect. Now can I have her bag please? :-)

 

Indian summer, Bratislava streetstyle

Okay, now I can clearly see a trend emerging here: first feather in ears, now feathers everywhere. Also coming up are other Native American patterns and colours, although I think this girl is really just being herself, all trends aside :-)
Looking at her ice-breaking smile I just really want one thing: world peace. Let's have a more beautiful week than the one before! :-)

It's that time of the year, Bratislava streetstyle

I can't believe how cute this couple is! I especially love the girl's multicoloured stripes and the guy's.... well, everything :-) They were really sweet and when we parted ways I realized what they reminded me of: summer festivals! Laid back coolness, lots of colours, sun, water (and beer), people who are happy to be there and away from every day's hustle and tons of good music, inspiration and love :-)

My summer festival plans so far include the biggest Slovak festival Pohoda and for the first time Sziget in Budapest. Hope to meet some of you there :-) Hooray for summer festivals!

Easy breezy beautiful, Bratislava streetstyle

I have already claimed my love for black in the summer and this girl just makes me repeat it. And you know what else? She makes me think about cutting my hair and dying it to platinum blond. There, I said it. (I think my hairdresser Martin just fainted somewhere out there...) No, really, look how cool SHE looks. And what's up with these minimalistic digital watches? Not that I use a watch, but.... don't I NEED one? (No, you don't, copycat.) Okay, okay. I'm off to buy some feathers though...
Have a sunny, inspirational weekend everyone! :-)

Mellow yellow, Bratislava streetstyle

 

Ingredients for the perfect summer in the city style: cute pixie haircut, soft yellow dress, tone in tone minimalistic digital watch and a just hint of turquoise. Beautiful!
