I wish you all a great weekend!

my copy of the book Matyo roses just arrived,all about beautiful embroidery from Mezőkövesd - Hungary

and look at these hats, aren't they piece of art? (via Diane Kappa)

Thanks to everyone who left the comment on my previous post,you made me laugh,especially my collagues in black and gray :) Maybe I should create a temporary blog were we can share our progress? In the meen time...

...small decorations I use to make when I was in childcare...I still like to make them in autumn.Have a lovely weekend everyone!!!

I moved from the tiles to my closet now and I was wondering: after years of designing fashion collections and pulling out so many stripes on this blog, how possibly my wardrobe has ended up to be so boring and monochrome? I guess it happens to a big part of fashion designers...when I was studying, ten years ago, we were all dressed in black,now everything in my closet is gray.That's not a big deal for someone else but as I love the color and believe in its psychological impact I decided that it's something I have to change.Since I'm impulsive and emotive shopper I desperately need a scheme. In case you have same problem... here is what I did:

I cut the samples of all colors that I like on me (a bit dusty and cold tonalities) and put them all together.

Then I played making the combinations I like most...still it would be a complete mess

So I made huge stripes, pick the neutrals for basic clothes like pants and brighter for jackets, more colorful for tops and sweaters, and bold colors for accent.I should just try to follow this guide now and my wardrobe should work ( I should try to earn at least 5.000 $,too :)

Maybe you always had this kind of scheme on your mind, and it's just me struggling with it :( ?! I would love to hear your thoughts...

My butterfly buddy and I will fly around the house for at least a week.

We need to make some changes so I started painting floors and tiles in the whole apartment, while he's deciding what wall color would fit best with his spots.Have a great week!
