LAMiS 2010

I've came back from the Summer Fashion and Styling Academy on Saturday and I already miss Cracow! ♥ I've had such a lovely time and met a couple of fantastic people (who I shared a room with in a hostel). I was lucky enough that another blogger from my hometown won the same competition and we were able to go together, what's more she turned out to be such a sweet girl, thanks Dagmara! ♥

During the first three days we've had some lectures about AW '10 trends etc. plus we've worked on t-shirt DIYs, the latter turned out to be quite troublesome, especially for a person like me, who is not necessarily talented in sewing ;D Also, Wednesday was the day that I've had my photo shoot taken, for which I was supposed to style myself according to this autumn's trends. I'll show you the results of that as soon as I get the photographs, I haven't even seen them myself yet! On Thursday and Friday we've been learning about fashion photography and then we've had a chance to take a few photos of each other, which was quite fun too! The whole academy ended on Friday with a party organised by Stylio.pl, where our competition photos were being exhibited.

All in all, I've had a lovely time and it was a great experience especially thanks to the people I've spent that time with and it was really fun to be living in Cracow for almost a week! ♥

Here are some random photos from last week:

Light of my life fire of my loins My sin, my soul

Today’s outfit was inspired and created for a fashion competition on one of the Polish style community sites called Stylio. The main idea behind this contest was to create film inspired outfits and because Lolita is one of my favourite both literary and film characters I knew that it will be my entry. The book is a real masterpiece, and I've already read it a couple of times, and the 1997 movie conveys quite a lot of book’s charm onto the screen. Although the heart shaped sunglasses are associated with Kubrick’s version of Lolita more I used them to create the Lyne’s version film inspiration.

A Place to Hide

Lace and florals are my two favorites when it comes to clothes for a while now and that's almost everything that I use in my outfits recently. I've lately bought this lace dress as it was on sale;I was waiting for its price to be reduced for a couple of weeks before I've had a chance to do it. Oh, and I’ve also bought it in pale pink, which looks even prettier! I just need to find some kind of a slip for underneath the dress as it’s only lace;) This was actually supposed to be a different outfit post but the weather and circumstances didn’t allow me to get that other outfit photographed, so I had to use these photos taken on my recent charity shop spree;)
