This is all about the boys, when they like to be beautiful and gallant, and when they place particular importance on physical appearance. Dandy, they were called in the past, between the late 18th- and early 19th-century in Britain, today we don’t have a name anymore for them. Most probably it would be just a normal boy.

The aristocratic lifestyle and the tailored wardrobe is at the moment exhibited in The Museum of Art Rhode Island School of Design. Definitely something what I would like to go to visit if I would be in the neighbour hood.

The 19-year-old Hungarian Photographer Flora Borsi makes us think with her Real Life Models series. How the models of contorted abstract paintings must have looked like?  Through an amazing photo manipulation of famous paintings of Kees van Dongen, Rudolf Hausner and Picasso she gives us examples of the real life models of those times.

When it comes to sun and sea, water and nature, I am one of the first to don’t miss out. Today I found something very delicate and exquisite. Fabrics of high quality combined with very elaborated printed hand drawings on silk scarfs.

Sabina Savage is the name of the creator of this fantastic art works. She is a fashion and print designer with a huge love for texture and shape. Born in Summerset (England) she followed her dream and without speaking one word of French, she moved to Paris and graduated a few years after from a prestigious Paris fashion school. She moved back to London, worked for several designers, for ex. Alexander McQueen, and created her own very unique hand laboured silk scarf label.

All products at Sabina Savage are hand designed in the UK and printed in Como, Italy.

To give you a small fashionable advise, you will beat everybody in “speed sliding” if you are wearing a “Lederhose”. (in case you don’t know what that is, watch the little boy below)

Did you know that 10 minutes of skipping is more efficient than half an hour of jogging?

SUMMER IS COMING and most of you will stress to get the new bikini body as fast as possible. Don’t hurry too much, choose the right exercises and keep eating healthy.

Keep yourself fit and you will love yourself more.

Here are some skipping varieties found here:

• Skip Jump - hop on one foot and kick the other foot to the front (or behind) the body, alternate legs
• Jog Jump - alternate your feet in a jogging movement as you jump the rope
• Hop Jump – hop on one leg for for several jumps, alternate legs (start with 2 per leg and increase as you improve)
• Jack Jump – do “jumping jacks” as you jump – one jump land with your legs apart, next jump land with them together

My tongue is twisted,

around the moon,

moon tongue twister

around moon lovers.

Nice shoes, by the way…. Charlotte Olympia pumps

Cat sunglasses and freckles, that’s how a cool summer girl jumps into the upcoming hot summer days. I found this “miraculous” image on Flickr.  Glory Lily by Victoria Zeoli, and a perfectly fitting “freckly” poem by Niamh Galea (via here)

"Freckles"

freckles area thing so sweet,
as they fall onto a young girls cheek,

fine brown sugar sprinkled on the nose,
with pretty freckles a young girl glows,

playing in the sea having fun,
young girls receive kisses from the sun.

Those are two of my favorite comments on Doctor Knit’s lobster sweater on the flickr page

But there was also a question, I found quite amusing…and confusing………..

“Do you dress them before or after you drop them in the boiling water (presuming you’re using a superwash yarn!)? (by rudibeardog)
