Like a kid in a candy shop

Fascination is one of the things that become seldom when you grow up. Kids can be fascinated with anything. Cynic adults, on the other side, keep their blazé, I-know-everything look. It seems like, the more fascinated you are, the more creative you are.
And it happened to me. Today. You know, when you're in architecture school and all you learn about is theoretical knowledge, even when it's supposed not to be (don't misunderstand, I love things like art history), having to make something in real size that fuctions makes you helpless. And then, you go to people who have nothing to do with art history, but make very real things. I went to the smith shop today. I was happy like the kind in a candy shop. And there were some really kind people willing to explain to me everything that I'll never learn in architecture.
I even got a new ring (that's supposed to hold rubber but oh, who cares. Creativity, as we said)

Accessories

I meant to make this post for some time now (and this started as a fashion blog, remember?) but now's the ideal time. My hometown is the kingdom of boredom in the afternoon. Plus, I've had some photography accidents (my 50mm 1.8 canon ef lens is twisted and I don't understand how, and I broke a piece of the cover of new Polaroid 195. Beauutiful.) Now I play around with a zoom on my digital camera.

Anyway, after getting sidetracked, here's the thing. I haven't bought a single piece of clothing since Christmas. Unbelievable? I don't think so. For me it's unbelievable seeing women with plenty of shopping bags on their hands. I think that being able to get well dressed wearing a finite amount of clothes is a sign of intelligence. And here is where the real subject goes in.

Accessories. The way to update every look. I feel guilty for the amount of earrings I have, but I don't play favorites with them, I wear all of them, almost every day.
But to be honest, I kinda have a favorite.
The lego earring. I don't remember the name of the person who makes them right now (he's a nice chap with an unbelievable lego bow tie)but I love them. You might have seen them on the blog before. I could wear those anytime, anywhere, with anything.

Now I have another favorite amongst favorites. I usually don't wear anything on my hands but THIS made me change my mind.

It's a ring made by Olga Mergou with plasticided paper. It's quite big and everybody asks me if I made it myself. It's truly beautiful and one of a kind. I've bought more jewellery by Olga Mergou like the zipper earrings and I don't think I'll stop there.

Anyway that was a small post about my favorite jewel. If I had an advice to give you, it would be, buy less. Edit your choices. Love what you get.

Things happen right

The film. The girl. The pose. Though the scan is just terrible I think you still see what I'm talking about.

I'll be back...

Discoveries

I discovered this place, while on a short trip to Athens. It's called "Paloma Negra" and it is a
tiny jewellery shop near the Athens concert hall (Μέγαρο Μουσικής). Not only was the merchandise amazing, the shop was also beautiful and serene...I bought the frida earrings you see below. (I'll find the name of the designer soon, I promise)

Candy For Witches

On a rainy day, looking for a way to go home less than soaked, I found this amazing shop. It's name : candy for witches (ζαχαρωτά για μάγισσες, in Greek) and it contains unique Greek designer clothing and jewellery. I ended up talking with the owner about polaroids and buying an Akira Mushi cardigan, which you'll see soon. For now I'll let the pictures talk in my place
