Style Black – Colour

From “Back to Black” beehive and eyeliner to Steven “80s” Sprouse-in-the-House kohl and fringe to Gareth Pugh London New Goth, Black is simply beyond. Lips, nails, eyes – there’s no more dramatic way to declare your desire, separate your sensibility, celebrate your magnetism. They WILL surrender to a Blackfire Glimmerglass, Rapidblack Penultimate Eyeliner, a slash of Greasepaint Stick, and the hot scratch of Baby Goth Girl Nail Lacquer. Style Black is a way of life, a shadowy and mysterious figure of fantasy, even for just one dark and dangerous night.

Hello, ladies

Last week a made this post. I wrote it because I thought that I will be away for a longer time. Next week I will also be away but this time I will be doing some work. And a lot of you were asking me what I was doing last week.  At last I have some time to write about it.

I was out of town, living in a house near the lake with my friend. Every day we woke up, cooked a great breakfast then took books and magazines and went to the lake.  So we spend time tanning and reading. I was also swimming and walked bare feet with my player Then we spend some time inside cooking and just having fun till evening. In the evening we went for a walk. Before going to bed we watched a movie every night.  We watched “Roman Holidays” with Audrey Hepburn, “Lost in Translation” with Scarlett Johansson and Life is a Miracle by Kusturitsa. I also finished reading the book about 25 great married couples (I love biographical books) and read a book by Anna Gavalda plus Vogue Russia August issue. As you can see I had a great time!

How is your summer anyway? What have you been doing or plan to do? Tell me about your vacation. I plan mine on September. I always like to have a vacation in the end of August – September. It makes me think that summer is still here   By the way, I hope you all have noticed some updates on the blog and like them. In September we will have new design and new categories. I will make a post (with a poll probably) about it soon.
