Sunny Afternoon

After a longer break, Miss Katjes is back with blogging, fresh photos, exciting stories and visually enchanting inspirational stuff. I have much to catch up on, but let me start with some not-so-recent photos that might just take us back a little to summertime afternoons.

Fashion in Movies: The Edge of Love

I really like movies in which fashion is just a hint, it has little to do with the story, and still, it’s there, making vital part of the characters’ lives. The Edge of Love is a perfect example for such movies. Dylan Thomas, love triangle, free-spirited artistry, poems and cabaret are mixed in such an inspiring manner that you’re simply caught and twisted by this absolutely bohemian atmosphere. Though Keira is not one of my favorite actresses, she was an excellent choice for this role, they are great with Sienna. I love the photos with the two of them.

And a little remake here and there...

A Bagful of Layers (part 2)

I was really concerned about my wardrobe the other day…it was like I had so many clothes I wore so long ago or have never ever worn that I felt I needed to get rid of them. But such a sudden idea is essential to a fresh start upon reconsidering some pieces/reinventing certain outfits. So, after having a quarter of my ‘bigger’ wardrobe collected into old plastic bags, it suddenly occurred to me what Part 2 should tell about.

I’ve never fully enjoyed fashion shows, I mean, of course, I like new designs, the richness of beautiful fabrics and colors, but for me it’s simply impossible to implement the aspects of ‘high fashion’ into my little simple wardrobe. Now, I think that’s the essence of it- don’t try to follow fashion in a slave-ish manner, but let it inspire you to create your own style. I think this is the reason why fashion blogs are so popular right now- they’re telling secrets of a little less popularized, yet much more wearable/enjoyable style…and I’m much more inspired by them.

All in all, if you don’t know where to start the whole layering story, firstly, get rid of the clothes you’re never going to wear, invest more into specific pieces, clothes looking great in every situation, matched perfectly with a great deal of items.

As much as I love clothes, I don’t like spending too much money on them; this is why I love thrifting so much. It is such a great feeling to find something really special, something totally unique. So, besides those pieces of clothes everyone should have in stock, it’s a great idea to thrift the clothes you would actually use as layers.

Layering is a great deal of fun, because not only that you actually get your creativity trained, but you can express your style as varied as possible.

Moments captured

I'm not sure where is this picture from, but it's so good just to look at it for the moments taken out of the randomness of a party... or maybe somebody just stayed in this restaurant for hours and took pictures of totally strange people. Few of them are quite intimate, yet vivid and full of energy. It makes me listen this song over and over again and I'm constantly reminded of the way how Carey Mulligan held her cigarette in such a cute french manner in An Education. Cliché? French romanticism? It's so lovely anyway!

Put an avocado in the coconut

...And 'in the back of dream car twenty foot long' I'm gonna shout out loud, 'well, this is life, baby, let's drive along this way', not knowing where we're heading, not knowing, where to stop... I couldn't stop thinking about this song today. David is an alien.

Vienna-lism, superfunctualism

I post this picture just for the sake of it. I love it. Let me simply call it the 'Mitch-team'. xoxo guys!!!!

A little INSPIRATION for future brides

J. Crew is absolutely fabulous! As I was looking to the wedding gowns I was thinking: 'wow, if I ever happen to marry someone, I'd be most happy in such a beautiful dress. It's silk, it's ivory, graceful and simple at the same time. My first choice!

These models were the perfect choice. For more picture just click right here.
