Today marks as my second happiest day of 2012 so far. That is after my nephew being born. I have got a ticket to see Da Vinci: Painter of the Court of Milan at the National Gallery. I won't hesitate to admit that my eyes watered while stud in front of the Lady with an Ermine, both versions of the Virgin of the Rocks (put and facing each other in the same room) or Giampietrino's replica of The Last Supper and my ultimate personal favoured: The Madonna of the Yarnwinder. I was dazzled with fascination and emotion at the same time. Those who know me well also know my love for art goes far and so I did not mind queuing for almost 4 hours very early in the morning in freezing cold to be able to get in among another 400 people/fanatics which numbered up to over 1000 by the time the gallery opened. I stayed in for another 4 and half hours admiring the genius paintings and sketches.

What a spectacular highlight of the lifetime.

On my way out I hastened to have a final look at my favourite painting exhibited on the upper floor of the gallery. Delaroche's Execution of Lady Jane Grey and Joseph's Wright of Derby, Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump. By this piece my ears could not help catching my mother tongue(Czech)speaking lady to a petite young girl that I am sure was her granddaughter explaining the use of the chiaroscuro effect with the skill of the artist to transfer the light and dark contrast onto the painting to her. This taken me back in time when I used to be such little girl being educated by my granddad, yearning for and taking in every single thing he ever taught me about art.

Liner.

2011-12-26T21:17:00.007Z

Look one: THE CAT

This look gives a beautiful finish to the outer corners of each eye.

Suits: It flatters a smaller eye as less black is used over the lid.

Application: Start the line in the centre of the lid on the bed of the top lashes; keep the line fine graduating up into the outer corner of your eye.

Drag the liner back on itself and create a point by painting the outer corner of the lower lashes. This has an amazing effect on opening out the eyes.

Mascara: It looks pretty just on top of the lashes but the eye is more defined with it on top and bottom.

Look two: THE FLICK

This is the most feminine finish.

Suits: 50’s inspired, this look can be adapted to flatter all eye shapes.

Application: Start applying the liner from the inner corner out. Tip your head back and lift your brow to stretch your lids; this will keep your skin tight so your line will be sharp. Keep the line fine to start and slowly build up to avoid any mistakes.

To get a delicate fine line at the inner corner of each eye, look in the opposite direction to tighten the skin. It is really important that the eyeliner starts and finishes with a fine point.

Mascara: Keep your mascara heavy use black to give a sexier flirty edge.

Tip: Balance your elbow on a table to keep it steady to ensure a perfect line.

Look three: THE HALF MOON

This look is instantaneous, and even the wobbliest of hands will be able to conquer this line.

Suits: All eyes as it has a wonderful thickening effect on your top lashes without even really seeing the line.

Application: Change the angle of your brush and paint the lashes from a 90-degree angle to your face rather than from the side. This will help the liner stay at the root and not on the lid.

Mascara: This is a natural look so just one pretty coat of black or brown mascara will finish the classic look.

Tip: Don’t extend the eyeliner further than the lash line- it needs to stay invisible.

Look four: THE ROCK CHICK

This is the ultimate day to night liner look. Enhance the liner you have had on all day by layering another coat over the fifties inspired shape.

Application: Trace a line along the lower lashes. Next, take a cotton bud and smudge the line to make it soft and smoky. Apply as much liner as you like until you have achieved the perfect smouldering finish.

Mascara: Apply lashing of mascara to top and bottom lashes to give even more oomph to those eyes.

Tip: Ensure you smudge the line before it dries.

Look five: THE SWALLOW

This line is inspired by the beautiful make-up worn by Cleopatra. It has a harder finish to it with a fine wing on each side.

Application: Line the eye with liquid liner top and bottom and then extend the flick slightly lower, finishing just level with the top of your lid. This is bold statement make-up and looks amazing matched with naturally glossy skin and pretty soft lips.

Mascara: To complete this dramatic look use two coats of lash-lengthening black mascara. To ensure that your eyes are not hiding behind the liner use a soft black kohl pencil inside the eyes.

Tip: Line the lower lashes first so that you don’t imprint top eyeliner on your eye socket when you look up to apply the lower line.

Look six: THE WING

This is the big eyeliner shape of 2008 worn by celebs such as Amy Winehouse.

Application: To ensure that both eyes are balanced trace the shape first with a kohl pencil/liner. Then simply fill in with liquid eyeliner. To achieve the most flattering shape, trace an imaginary line from the outer corner of your eye up to the end of your brow; this gives the perfect angle.

Mascara: Apply black to the outer lashes to give flirty feminine look.

Tip: Use the side of the brush in sweeping motions to fill in the liner rather than the tip as it will be quicker.

One old affair...

2011-11-15T21:59:00.004Z

I just dug deep in my archive of image and discovered this.

It was a shoot created a while ago for a vintage clothing project. Styled by Sophie Surridge, Shot By Melodie Rauland, and Hair by Davide Barbieri, Make-up by myslef.

I have been neglecting blogging for a little while. I have been busy working on many new shoots and other make-up jobs. I been also doing a bit of Art direction. However, I am not able to sleep so I decided to update on post ups about today's make-up adventures.

More to follow in a few days, I promise.

I have been working on a shoot for ELLE magazine today, assisting.

The photo shoot went well and was really easy as for make-up look I thought ... I was a very lucky assistant to had a chance to watch an amazing artist and master of his own craft James Pecis at work. He is one of the best hairstylist from NYC. James is not only extremely skilled but also extremely charming guy. No wonder the whole ELLE team was at ease with the him and the atmosphere in the studio was lovely. The beauty story will be out in March and it is all about tips from Fa SS'12 backstage hair style looks. James was demonstrating them in front of the lens and was photographed step by step for the readers to follow and to do their trendy hair do by themselves. Make up was very Luis Vuitton SS'12, clean, dewy, porcelain skin, fresh and 'pretty pretty' doll beautiful. (Excuse the Mak-up artist vocabulary here) I was mesmerised watching all being done. Elle beauty editor Georgia was interviewing James while working and being shot so I have learned a lot about the products use, tips and secrets from that myself. We had some time between the shots for a little gossip about the celebs that James worked with... he loves Gaga...he also pointed out this video that I could not deprive my blog off. It was a great day there and I loved assisting to Natasha Bulstrode who is ever so cool and sweet.

Ricky's pout in this is slightly off putting but well done Dermablend, the ad is good. Worth watching the layers and layers of product being taken off...

As for the phone snaps bellow... There were a lot of other catwalk hair looks created on the day but I was just not sure if running around and snapping away with my Iphone on a shoot for Elle would be appreciated...so sorry for the small visual low down and poor quality....

I rarely post up about the commercial shoots that I get to work on. These are the ones that pay the bills. Some of them may be less exciting some of them are loads of fun. This was a shoot for Spanish Spice brand Carmencita. I helped out with the art direction on this and then I ended up applying dry parsley on one of the street casted model's lips, sticking stalks of fresh Rosemary on another imitating Dali's mustache. I made necklesses with chillies. Oh boy, they were spiceyyy!

And here comes Frida again! I get to be asked to follow Kahlo's look again and again since ever I included my images of Frida in my book... Honestly, it gets me loads of jobs. Icons are icons and they stay popular.

This was a small collaboration or a test soot if you like, with super lovely Melodie Rouland and Sophie Surridge. Btw: Melody has done a fab job on a final edit with the vintage feel in photos. This was made time ago in early April this year. Sophie's passion for Vintage and bargain hunting took us as far as Chiswick Car boot sale in very early hours of the day. I remember it was very windy that Sunday... our hands were frozen and but also very busy trying to catch all the flying equipment we had with us.

I am a rare visitor of car boot sales these days, but I do love them and the point behind that recycling brings. I guess the motivation of making extra dollar on used things you don't need anymore is what sellers brings there on a cold Sunday morning so you can find treasures in all the unwanted piles of memories. It can bring you close to nostalgia but also close to some sort of satisfaction of making use of some beautiful waste that is there on offer.

I guess some people are there for just the thrill of it.

I heard this simple and old New England's proverb somewhere...

Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.

Beauty Cult

2011-05-22T23:52:00.036+01:00

The accomplishment of my degree at University of the Arts has come and I have now become a graduate in Fashion Specialism in Hair and Make-up.

Here I finally come with a little more time on my hands to re-connect with the blogging world. I have been neglecting on new updates for some time while working very hard.

For course's final major project I have developed 3 series of images. These were aimed to become a part of the content for La Boheme magazine. The mag is being in its making and I am very excited to share my perception of the idea around conceptual theme of Beauty Cult under the magazines first issue, Heritage.

Heritage

BEAUTY CULT

This is a final set of images for a portfolio of work that I have submitted for my final project at Uni. The project was entitled Beauty Cult, and is split into three different sets of images all relating to the chosen theme of Heritage. Heritage is a theme for the first issue of La Boheme magazine that I am working on as the Editor-in-Chief and Creative Director.

The first set of images draw on the subjects of Vanity and Narcissism, the second draws on pure beauty using the female form and the final set draws on body adornment. Beauty Cult looks at cultural heritage and links it to the concept of Beauty. It looks into societal behaviour of preserving beauty through art and therefore at the perception of our own beauty.

Heritage can be defined as practices that are handed down from past traditions. It is the knowledge of how something is done by tradition and can be delineated in what generations acknowledge and pass on to the next generations. We as society follow these customs, traditions and habits, rituals, natures, natural history, past possession and we adapt them. In particular, Beauty Cult looks at heritage with a focus on the expression of beauty as seen and passed down through generations. The heritage we inherit can be viewed as bad or good practices. The three sets of images take different examples of beauty culture and invite the audience to form their own opinions on the practices conveyed. Cultural heritage may be linked to how our society perceives beauty, seen through the preservation of beauty through art. Beauty Cult presents this notion visually.

The first subtheme, Vanity and Narcissism, relates to the main theme as examples of behavioural habits that have existed through generations, and can quite often be viewed upon in a negative light.

The second subtheme looks at Pure Beauty What is perceived as beautiful makes up a big part of our culture and we often attempt to immortalise what is beautiful through paintings, portraits, photographs.

Since humans decided to mix some dirt with water and daub it on the sides of their cave homes, the human body has been a pretty constant focus of artists’ attentions.

DOPPELGANGER-
IMAGES OF THE HUMAN BEING
The term Doppelganger in the vernacular means any double or look alike of a person and not entirely evil or harbingers of bad luck, which one usually finds in folklore or fiction. More often than not we bump into, meet or
see people whose personas are similar to us.

Doppelganger takes a look at visual identity of men and techniquesof achievingindividuality. The book explores a different creative approach on how a person differentiates himself/herself apart. It presents currenttrends in capturing the visual identity of human beings. Each of its seven chaptersexplores a different creative approach: Embody, Dissolve, Appeal, Reshape, Perform, Deform, and Escape. The book is colourful and entertaining collection of transformations, masquerades influence by culture, technology, art and fashion.

I have pre-ordered this book a while ago. It was a lovely surprise to come home to last night after it finally arrived.
I love the images in the book and was pleased to find my favourite photographer Madame Peripetie inside.
So absolutely inspiring!

oh , yeah and happy International Women's Day

The Fashion Cycle-Our Vintage is their Future

The concept of this issue's fashion story was moving in time and space back and forward.

All garments are brought from another era whether 1980's or , 70's, sixties....we know our vintage, don't we.

And it was very pleasant collaboration with a lovely team.

2011-01-31T23:28:00.009Z

I came across these images while researching for a new and pretty exciting project.

However they have not much in common with the proposed work. Often while I research,it happens that I can't seem to stop indulging visually and I get carried away. Sometimes for long hours. It's like binge eating of a luxury chocolate...

Just as I have been asked by a few before, here are some photos of previously published fashion story created earlier in 2010. I have to admit I loved creating the story board of a imaginary existence of witches... scroll down for the result in photography.

http://terezabila.blogspot.com/2010/02/and-witches-were-stripped-bare.html

This time my sightly unusual approach to art direction in collages and sketches has replaced the usual mood boards as the whole 'book" has been made into an old fashioned pictorial narrative. Story as told many times in the 18th century before and after, witch craft and the witch marks to reveal the identity of devil were hunted down and tortured. Some spiteful followers of wicca or the innocents, these women lives and stories added to our inspiration for the shoot and fun time had while made alive in our images...

As I sit down to make a few new notes into my brand new diary while my favourite tune pops in the background, I can't help but to go through all the notes, business cards, doodles, sticky posted, circled and highlighted dates in the old 2010 diary...

I have to say what a year! I am so grateful for many of the events and occasions, the little or the big ones, coming my way in 2010. There are a few to mention. Either the professional or private.

Start with my adventures in Europe and the capital of Czech Republic, Prague so very close to my heart, continue with meeting a few inspirational people who helped and took part in the photo shoots I directed.

Visit to Berlin and perhaps the cute small town Bamberg was an absolute stir! …

The beautiful work done by my wonderful team on 125 magazine submission has pops in to my mind as one of the contentment… GFW fun with the girls and boys from LCF.

All the funny frivolous models moments there…

and many more.

All the art I seen all the creativity and passion I enjoyed.

Work with Mint Velvet... All the heavy Freud having to be studied and written about in my essays…

All the messy dance floors, festivals and parties I stepped all over last summer here and there... Melt was the one!

All the fab time had, a all the lessons lernt… I do heart 2010 and can’t wait for this next year as there is so much dreams to be followed and completed!

World is here for taking…

Thank you John, Fiona, Poppy, Beth, Janine, Dani, Marta, Talka....

Good bye 2010 and Hello 2011!

I am totally motivated!

Nedavno, vlasne davno, v Rijnu, jsem dostala moznost navstvit presentaci Matthew Willaomsona. Konala se v V&A museu v South Kensignton. Jedno z mych nejoblibenejsich musei Londyna. Rozhovor s nim byl velmi zajimavy a insprativni. Mlady a vzdy dobre vypadajici navrhar, ktery mel nejnom stesti byt na spravnem miste ve spravny cas, ma svuj jisty a neuveritelny talent a vasen pro jeho remeslo-navrharstvi. Jeho kariera zacala jeho odhodlanim se prihlasit na proslulou univesitu Central St. Martins uz ve velmi mladem veku. Jeho vira mu napomohla k jeho uspechu. K tomu jak se ve sve prenasce znimil, take napomohla podpora jeho rodiny a pratel.

K jeho pratel a muzam nyni patri Jade Jager, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Sienna Miller...

Toto jsou fotografie z jeho byto v Jiznim Londyne, ktery se ted snazi prodat... zari barvami tak jako jeho navrhy satu, inspirovanych nejenom cestami po Indii, ale take jinymi mladimy umelcemi jako napriklad Judith Supine and Jim Lambie....

Alter deepness and the theory

2010-12-09T12:05:00.015Z

According to Freud our life is played out in two different, opposing forces. One of them, Eros is the drive for sex, love and self-preservation, whereas the other is known as Thanatos, the drive for death and self-destruction. It is the yin and yang of motivations and urges. Put simply, Eros wants us to live and struggle through with pain and suffering; Thanatos prefers to end it all with death, the equalizer, the dark force, the state of constant peace, calm and rest.

Many of us are in denial about our dark side and regard ourselves as utterly good. Consequently we often close up to all that could pose a threat to our false sense of security; we are paranoid about anything that might set off the “sinful” and “harmful” thoughts within us and strictly avoid sex.

Yet the dark side within is undeniably part of human nature; we cannot deny its existence, nor fight against it ; all we can do is accept and embrace it so it doesn’t creep up and hide behind our thoughts and make us do horrible things.

However, The line between sanity and insanity may be much thinner than we may think. Mostly, it may be carried out in the restricted area of our subconscious.

The neurotic is obsessed with their thoughts and actions; the psychotic is losing or has lost control of the flow of thoughts and actions, while the sociopath is spontaneously acting out violence and getting pleasure from sadistic behaviour...

"A ribbon around a bomb"

2010-09-18T21:52:00.012+01:00

"A ribbon around a bomb" In his book Andre Breton has discribed Frida Kahlo with this metaphor.

I, once again, found myself stuck in Fridomania. Strong inspirational infuence enough, that I have created, with my team and wonderful Marta G., 3 fashion stories in total. I promised to myself this will be the last one and I guess that it is also the best one. The story was created for 125 magazine into theme ART.

Ja jsem ZNOVU uvízla ve Fridomanii. Silný vliv a inspirace natolik, že jsme vytvořili už třetí modní story na tema Frida . Slíbila jsem si, že tahle bude poslední, a myslím, že je asi také ta nejlepší. Příběh byl vytvořen pro 125 magazine.

It is Sunday in Hackney. I am woken up early to a heavy rain drumming against my window across the town in West London. I gave a text to Alice asking if we are going ahead with today's shoot as it seem to be raining. "Of course we are".... We just have to hope that by the time we all get to the location the sun come out, she says back!
I love positive people hoping for the best! I am the same. So I am packing my suitcase with all my make-up master tools and hopping on the train. By the time I was at Hackney, the sun seemed to listen to our prayers.
And here we are shooting for Alice Bustin designer collection with Ellie Graham. Inspiration..? "Contemporary tribal... " and Alice's drawings.

I love to work for them. Their professional approach is reaching to a very hight standard. We all love Beth for looking after the whole team and myself. Miquel for his great eye and feel in styling the pieces together. Our model Rebecca has about 10 years experience of modeling. She is fantastic to work with.

Here it comes, the revolution on the catwalk at Graduate Fashion Week 2010.
Working at this event took me as far as Wonderland, Star Wars, Dali paintings, Disneyland, Lord of the Rings in fashion of the fresh graduates. And of course there was tones of inspirational influences of our dearly missed Lee aka Alexander McQueen!

Once again the graduates rocked it! Big time!

I absolutely loved all of the shows. We have had loads of fun as a team.

What can i say other then: "I LOVE MY JOB!!!"

My bifocals allow me

To see close, and at a distance.

What I don’t see so clearly,

is due to resistance.

Life is not always pretty,

and seldom is fair.

Removing my glasses,

makes life easier to bear.

Next visit to the optometrist,

I vow to insist,

on new rose-tinted spectacles

fit for an optimist.

I’ll buy up a bunch,

and pass them out to the masses,

so we can all look at life

through rose-colored glasses.

Frida

2010-05-27T23:10:00.004+01:00

Za poslednych par tydnu jsem nemela ani chvilicku na blog. Soustredim se intenzivne na projekt k podani do 125 magazinu. Pracuji s mym neuveritelnym tymem sikovnych lidi ktere umelecky reziruji. Bohuzel dokud nase "baby" nebude publikovane nemuzu prozradit a pochlubit se nasi tvrdou a krasnou praci. Prozradim jen to ze tema se tyka Symbilismu v Umeni a tudis slavne a obdivovane Fridy Kahlo.

Tyto image byly vytvoreny uz celkem davno jako zacatecni napad a celkem doslovna kreace Fridy. V nasi story ji uz dofam brzo muzete videt tak trochu jinak. Frida je dalsi z figur, ktere me oslovili uz v dobe studii Art and Design kurzu. Jeji zivotni pribeh me fascinoval. Po shlednuti filmu FRIDA v kterem ucinkuje Selma Hajek v hlavni roly, (Hajek take tento film vyprodukovala) me silne inspirovala. Nejen zivot ale take portrety vyzaruji vasni, lasku, touhu , bolest, emoce, odvrzeni zenskosti, ktere Frida malovala ve forme symbolu.

Legacy of Zandra Rhodes

So here it comes again another full on week. Or week full of... colour.

Colour talks and colour walks at Zandra Rhodes shows. She herself lives it and breaths it.

New romantic slash Punk was considered pretty extrovert designer and we now are talking around 1969. Her own lifestyle then was outrageous, dramatic and glamorous. She has obviously keep that projecting through her designs. Say her name loud in the fashion industry and you get to hear pink, blue, yellow and the unmisteakably Rhodes signature radiant red.

I say let's go for it!

These face charts are my rough ideas drawn soon after I found out I will be the key Make-up artist at UCA show to celebrate Zandra's designs.

I will get to meet the lady herself. Can't wait.

Sleeping Beauty

Sonnets To Orpheus
She was a maid almost, emerging here
from this united joy of song and lyre
and shone clear through her vernal veils like fire
and made herself a bed inside my ear.

And slept in me. And all was in her sleep.

The trees, which I always admired, such
palpable distance, the meadow felt so much
and every wonder, that affected me.

She slept the world. Oh singing god, how did
you so complete her, that she did not care
to wake up first? Look, she stood and dreamed.

Where is her death? Will you invent this theme
before your song consumes itself? To where

sinks she away from me? ... Almost a maid ...

Easter in Prague

2010-03-30T10:50:00.020+01:00

"EQUINOX de Prague"

Make-up and art direction: Tereza Bila

Hair: Marek Lord Koman

Styling: Anit Nono

Photography assistant: Tomas Nosek

Photography: NATHALIE RYCHETNIK

and Pech the dog

So I finally get to work in my home country, in the centre of magical capital city of Prague. I am sure you know its beauty and great historical reputation.

I also had the opportunity to work with Natahalie Rychetnik aka Talka one of talented self-taught and upcoming photographers. She was ace! I predict big things coming up for her in her future career. On top of this I also worked with Anit Nono who is the founder of Fashionbook website and full time stylist from Prague. Plus Marek Lord Koman who did the hair and made us all laugh.

This project was initiated and directed by myself and made to come true with the help by all these Czech sweet people.

All accessories in the hair are made by myself and was inspired by combination of Tim Walker's photography (whom work I adore). Su Blackwell (book sculpturist) and spring in Prague surroundings.

I would like to thank to Biodroga hair salon in Jungmanova 28, pasaz Teta for providing us space and Tomas Lesak for running around and assisting. And to young gorgeous model Tereza Holanova and team at Unigue-One models Prague.

And Venca and his beautiful English greyhound Pec.

Tak se konecne dockavam foceni v me rodne zemi a to v kouzelne Praze. Vsichni vi jakou povest ma nase kouzelna Praha mezi evropskymi mesty.

V tomto projektu jsem mela moznost spolupracovat s velmi sikovnou mladou a talentovanou fotografkou Natalii Rychetnikovou aka "Talkou". Nathalka se svuj osobity um s fotakem naucila sama a musim rict, ze ji to jde. Osobne si myslim, ze v budoucnu to dotahne az na vrchol a uz se tam dere a to velmi rychle.

Dale jsem k foceni zkontaktovala Anit Nono z Fashionbooku, ktera byla take moc skvela, velmi ochotna. Anit pracuje jako stylistka v Praze a je super.

Marek Lord Koman pro nas cesal a taky nas rozesmival. Skvela vlasnost, ktera by nekdy na velmi pracnem foceni nemela chybet.

Tento projekt byl mou vlasni iniciativou a za pomoci techto velmi ochotnych a talentovanych ceskych lidicek se uskutecnil. Inspirace pochazi z fotografii Tima Walkera (ktereho zboznuji) praci Su Blackwell a take jarem v Praze.

Ozdoby ve vlasech (ruze, bambule, ptaci celenka, a venec) jsem vyrobila z recyklovatelnych materialu. Samy posudte jestli mely nebo nemely uspech.

Chtela bych podekovat salonu Biodroga v Jungmanove Ulici, v pasazi Teta za poskytnuti prostoru.

Tomasovi Lesakovi za asistenci. Modelce Terezce Holanove a tymu v Unigue-One model agency a Vencovi a jeho nadhernemu anglickemu chrtovi Pec.

Lula and The heaven of "Magma"

2010-03-14T23:04:00.009Z

Magma je obchod,v kterem najdete snad vsechny casopisy a magaziny o mode, navrharstvi, fotografii a umeni. Proste Raj na zemi. Chodim tam pokazde, kdyz jsem jsem v cenrtu Londyna-casto. Myslim ze prodavaci uz znaji muj oblicej, ale jsem si vice nez jista, ze nejsem sama kdo tam travi hodiny volna a prohlizi si jeden casopis za druhym.

Dnes kupuji muj oblibeny magazin "Lula". Tohle cislo ma v sobe hodne puntiku.........

Magma, the shop that sells the most of fashion magazines around. You name it... Design, fashion, photography and art. It is literarly a Heaven on Earth to me. I tend to pop in each time I am around Shaftesbury Avenue which happens often. I swear that the shop assistants already know my face, but I am also more then sure I am not the only one taking time in, flicking through all the books and mags.

Today I am getting one of my favorite: "Lula". This issue is full of polka dots........

I heart ethical fashion so should you!

2010-03-11T23:47:00.014Z

"Quite simply, we all feel passionately about clever design that keeps both environmental and social justice in mind while proving that fashion can have a destiny other than landfill (which is our enemy). But, in common with many fashion lovers we are all disenchanted with fast, cheap fashion and consider its impact to be not just off-putting but downright unacceptable. So we are stamping our consciously clad feet and sorting something out for ourselves

(and hopefully you)."

Witch's marks

Flesh is beautiful enough, especially by the mystical glow of candlelight or the full moon and in shared ritual, as it is a symbol in and of itself of our will to be born into this world.

For that is a huge part of what being a witch is about, shining with your own particular light, being a unique thread in the grand tapestry of the ultimate divine

***

In the lore of the witch, this is claimed to be an extra teat or nipple on a witch’s body,

....and the person was suspect of being a witch.

Jaro je za dvermi a ulice potrebuji vice zarivych barev, co treba cervena, oranzova, fialova rtenka...

K jarnimu outfitu vam poslouzi jako "tresinicka na dort"!

1.Naneste balzam/pomadu na rty .Klidne i prstikem. Zachranite tak rozpraskanou pokozku.

2. Tato tycinka slouzi jako podklad na rty. pomaha k tomu aby dele vydrzela. Znacka L'oreal.

Pokud takovou nemate, nezoufejte a vyuzijte stareho triku a rty jemne prepudrujte. Rtenka vydrzi dele a nebude se spijet na rtech.

3. Pouzijte konturovaci tuzku stejneho odstinu. Tato je znacky MAC.

4. Vymalujte konurkou cele rty. Barva tak bude intenzivnejsi a take to napomuze aby se vam rtenka. Nesmazala hned po prvni kave.

5. Nakonec pouzijte stetecek na rty a rtenku pravidelne naneste.

6. Hotovo.

A jeste neco...Ode mne pro Vas:

Sarah je ze Skotska. Potakly jsme se v dome meho pritele, kdyz prijela navstivit jeho spolubydliciho.

Malou ironii je, kdyz se podivate na to co jsme ve studiu vytvorily, ze Sarah je ucitelkou. "Oups"! Nepredpokladam, ze muj blog nasleduji jeji zaci... Tema bylo Moulin Rouge prenesen do 1960.

Sarah is from Scotland. We have met in the house of my boyfriend while she was visiting his flatmate.
When you look at what we created in the studio, you realise the small irony behind the fact that Sarah is a teacher."Oups! Though I do not think my blog is followed by any of her pupils ...;). Theme was Moulin Rouge transferred into the 1960s

Pretty Personl Question

London fashion Week Day 2

I was lucky to have had a ticket to Topshop Unique and PPQ.

Unfortunately I missed out on Topshop show as I was still at a shoot working on Vogue. com blog visuals for an ethical fashion brand that afternoon. Never the less a few hours later at 8 pm I was sat at the PPQ show. I wanted to enjoy the show rather then snapping away with my camera therefore I am posting up pictures which aren't taken by myself . I sourced them from LFW report web. As for music with the show I must put my thumbs up. And the designs? Well, one could argue that but I found them unexpectingly average this season. Please don't throw stones at me in case you do not agree with me .

PPQ is also a record label and I have to say I did enjoy the tracks playing along the models striking walk down the runway. London's Summerset House on day 2 was of course full of fashionistas and had never disappointing atmosphere.

Londyn ovladl Fashion Week!

Zminovala jsem se, o listkach na letosni sezoni prehlidky Podzim/Zima 2010. Topsho Unique prehlidka mi bohuzel utekla kvuli foceni do blogu Vogue.com ale PPQ jsem stihla s odrenyma usima. Nefotila jsem, protoze jsem si to chtela vychutnat. Prinasim vam fotky z webu. Hudba byla vyjimecna, navrhy krasne, ale pro me docela neocekavane prumerne.

PPQ (Otazka na telo-zhruba prelozeno) sidli v Londynske ctvrti Mayfair. Je to nejenom znacka modnich navrhu, ale jak uz to chodi moda se blyzce spojuje k dalsim kreativnim sladkostem a tim je v tomto pripade i hudba. Ano ,PPQ ma sestru! PPQ take vydava hudebni desky.

Den 2 v dome Summerset House byl navoneny modni atmosferou a plny fashionistas, modelek a tisku. Asi tak jak to ma byt.

"Metropolis" project is about year and a half old affair. The whole idea is based on Superhero-Cat woman in fictional Gotham City in NY. The cat woman has an addiction to stealing jewelry and when she does so she always manages to escape...

GOT milk?

Another late night walking the streets? Thirsty for something other than crime? Your enemies fear not quenching your thirst like it used to?

Get Some. Get milk.

"Mertpolis" projekt je asi rok a pul stara zalezitost. Cely napad je zaloseny na "Superhero-Cat woman" ve vymyslenem Gotham City v NY. Tato kocici zena ma v olibe blyzkave sperky a rada je v noci krade a vzdy se ji podari uniknout. Pak po dlouhe a dobrodruzne noci na strechach popiji mleko. "Got Milk" je raklamni kampan na mleko. Mnau!
