#getMoody 5: fluor Friday

And finally TGiF! Even if Friday is not your last working day of the week (as it is for the one writing this), Fridays have that feeling to them. The good vibe, there is actually something different in the air, the attitude of people in the streets, there is a "Finally Free" atmosphere all around.

#getMoody 4: messy Hairsday

Generally, whenever i got those days when my hair would go on strike, I used to tie it up in a pony tail or bun and perform my day under the assumption that my hair was not looking good.

However, not long ago I discovered that a bad hair day is a perfect braid day. Especially when it is a braid-bun. Since you start working on your hair from the very roots, it is much easier to conceal bad shape and/or dullness. Moreover, hair braids better when it is not completely clean and a little bit of frizz helps holding it just right. So braid it is!

#getMoody 3: contradict me!

I feel like Wednesdays have a special something to them. They are right in the middle of the week, you still don't feel the rush of weekend round the corner but yet you sense the relief of half a week being over.

#getMoody 2: navajo time

It has been everywhere this season. From total looks to little accessories, the native american trend is, in my opinion, one  of the most inspiring and adoptable ones.

The gorgeous combinations of colours and patterns make it almost impossible not to find a piece that spices up your wardrobe.

How about a brush stroke of native colours to energise our Tuesday?

This is certainly not a daily style blog. Two good reasons why it isn't are:

I do not think that my style is as iconic/groundbreaking/relevant as to make it the main theme for a blog

I do not find myself in such position as to give advice to others on what to wear.

Nevertheless, I do find myself sitting in front of my wardrobe every morning for far too long trying to spot the combination of clothes that make it for me that day. Last Thursday I turned my computer on to play some music while deciding what to wear to work and I stumbled upon a very nice mood set in Polyvore. One of the pieces in it reminded me a piece of clothing that I own and that gave me the key for the perfect outfit for that day.

Therefore, and since I believe this clothing dilemma is common to many people every morning, I decided to make a daily post on the "inspiration for the day". Not necessarily a whole outfit but maybe an exciting nail polish, an easy and chic hairdo, a fragrance... that little something that spices up your style for the day.

keep your clothes on... I wanna see it all!

what's with the beasts?

Animals are on vogue. They are featured on magazine editorials and trend websites. The importance of their relationship with humans is unquestionable, they are part of our lives in one way or another. From your lovely pet to the birds and mice that we share the city with, we live surrounded by animals.

you saw it here first: bye razors!

Speaking of which, a couple days after blogging about beards, I find this post on Murdock London blog. This amazing little book is a collection of photographs by Matthew Rainwaters featuring the most amazing, original and simply coolest beards ever. 

Are you ready to see all your men fall for this trend? Follow your gut!

to dye for

This young lady has been sitting on my desktop for quite a while. I do not quite know what she inspires me. Of course, it is to be mentioned that eye-catching, chewing-gum coloured hair, which is what caught my attention in the first place.

off with the razors

After the hassle of moving houses and a few days with no Internet, here I am again to air out some more curiosities that have caught my eye. 

The topic I am currently working on for my trend book is very much related to how society is going back to basics, social mentality is becoming much more open and superficial is being left behind. All this, of course, reflects on how people look, what they wear and how they behave regarding fashion.

Translating this into a more practical approach: the tendency I keep noticing is hair. Social behaviour towards hair is changing a lot, back to the very basics (don't want to say back to monkeys, but...). Much more relaxed, undone, messy.

don't worry...

Spotted! New trend arising and ready to settle and stay: HAPPINESS. Here, the beautiful creation of Trend Forecasting student Suthini Tanangsnakool. After the video, take a minute, think of your happiness. Then embrace it and apply it as a principle to your daily life. Or as I recently see it: follow your gut!
