Blue accent on the hill of Richmond

Perfect time to discover and explore green spring nature in style .

Richmond Hill in Richmond, London is a hill that rises gently on its northern side from the ancient Thames meadowlands around the site of Richmond Palace up to and slightly beyond the Richmond Gate entrance to Richmond Park, the former royal hunting grounds enclosed by Charles I. The descent southwestwards from this point back down to the upstream meadows is noticeably steeper, although the down gradient is less marked on its southerly and easterly progress through the park itself.

This renowned hill offers the only view in England to be protected by an Act of Parliament – the Richmond, Ham and Petersham Open Spaces Act passed in 1902 – to protect the land on and below Richmond Hill and thus preserve the fine foreground views to the west and south. Immortalised in paintings by Sir Joshua Reynolds and J.M.W. Turner,it was described by Sir Walter Scott as "an unrivalled landscape".

The scenic panorama may be viewed from Terrace Walk, laid out near the top of the hill in the 18th century. This promenade surmounts the Terrace Gardens and both are Grade II* listed in English Heritage's Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England.

I would like to share my blue outfit which I have worn last weekend . It was based on light neon blue skinny stretch jeans from Birger et Mikkelsen 2 day collection, silver sneakers- wedges which look exactly like the Isabel Marant Bobby model and bohemian paisley - lace top.

Paisley pattern

Paisley or Paisley pattern is a term in English for a design using the boteh or buta, a droplet-shaped vegetable motif of Persian origin. Such designs became very popular in the West in the 18th and 19th centuries, following imports of post-Mughal versions of the design from India, especially in the form of Kashmir shawls, and were then imitated locally. The pattern is sometimes called "Persian pickles" by American traditionalists, especially quilt-makers, or "Welsh pears" in Welsh textiles as far back as 1888.
Resembling a twisted teardrop, the kidney-shaped paisley is of Iranian origin, but its western name derives from the town of Paisley, in West Scotland, a centre for textiles where paisley designs were produced.

In Iran the design, known as Boteh Jegheh, has been used since the Sassanid Dynasty

Some design scholars believe it is the convergence of a stylized floral spray and a cypress tree: a Zoroastrian symbol of life and eternity.(another name for the motif in Persian is sarv-e khamīdeh سرو خمیده, which literally means "curved cypress") A floral motif called Buteh, which originated in the Sassanid Dynasty and later in the Safavid Dynasty of Persia (from 1501 to 1736), was a major textile pattern in Iran during the Qajar Dynasty and Pahlavi Dynasty. In these periods, the pattern was used to decorate royal regalia, crowns, and court garments, as well as textiles used by the general population. According to Azerbaijani historians, the design comes from ancient times of Zoroastrianism and is an expression of the essence of that religion. It subsequently became a decorative element widely used in Azerbaijani culture and architecture.

The pattern is still popular in Iran and South and Central Asian countries. It is woven using gold or silver threads on silk or other high quality textiles for gifts, for weddings and special occasions. In Iran and Uzbekistan its use goes beyond clothing – paintings, jewellery, frescoes, curtains, tablecloths, quilts, carpets, garden landscaping, and pottery also sport the buta design. In Uzbekistan the most frequently found item featuring the design is the traditional doppi headdress.

 Those boots I bought in Spain for € 109 .The brand called Weekend which I have never heard before but they are extremely similar to Bobby type from my favourite Isabel Marant. They are much lighter than IM sneakers and also made out of high quality leather . They are comfy like a slippers .

and as a accessories my Miu Miu round frame retro sunglasses

Brown and black tortoiseshell acetate. Plum lenses. Gold designer-stamped . Come in a rose brushed-velvet designer-stamped hard case. 100% UV protection. Designer colour: Yellow Havana

Esprit navy jacket is made from sheep skin leather and is very soft and comfortable. i am fan of natural leather in different variety but I prefer soft type like sheep or goat instead of hard bovine.

Top is made in India but has got individual character, nice unique design and attractive colours.

The above skinny neon blue jeans 2NDDAY Birger et Mikkelsen  accompanied perfectly also with my unique unbranded blossom flower top and Bobby style spanish silver wedges sneakers.
This beautiful pattern on the top is so eye catching and look amazing on person. 

I really love my vintage shabby chic mirror and it is a perfect equipment  for showing my inspiration and passion for fashion and style.

Passion and fascination for Isabel Marant

I hope all have a good Easter break full of rest,delicious food,outdoor adventures  and prospective ideas like me.

It was a while since I have been here as I had Easter break in Turkey . It was a nice and fully relaxing holiday. I needed to be away from english life routine for some time. Hopefully soon I will be able to share my holiday experiences over my blog in special individual category which will be dedicated only to my travelling adventures .

At the moment I am still in deep love with french designer Isabel Marant and her products which I need to show here. I love the simply bohemian chic and natural breathable wool ,cotton fabrics which dominate in her collection.

I was so excited when my parcel from Ruby and Tallulah finally arrived . Everything were packed so  clean,carefully and professionally and my all three items were with me. All brand new, untouched  and immaculate condition with labels.

It was :

 1. Rain Distressed Knitted Sweater in size french 42 which is approximately 12/14 english 

In line with the fall '14 collection's grunge mood, étoile isabel marant's 'rain' sweater is punctuated with holes and finished with a split side. This cosy piece is knitted with touches of mohair and wool. Continue the love-worn look by pairing this flecked design with faded denim. Brown-beige acrylic, polyamide, mohair, wool and viscose-blend. Slips on. 23% acrylic, 22% polyamide, 20% mohair, 20% wool, 15% viscose. Hand wash or dry clean. Fits true to size, take your normal size. Cut for a relaxed fit. Mid-weight knit.

2. Vadisse Checked Flannel Shirt in same size french 42 which is bit big for me but I like the oversize effect. I can also wear with t shirt or vest underneath

Isabel Marant Étoile's checked flannel Vadisse shirt is a trans-seasonal essential. Crafted from a cotton and wool-blend, it boasts a supremely soft handle. Style it with your favourite skinny denim and heeled boots for easy weekend chic.

Faded-red, forest-green and white, checked cotton and wool-blend flannel

Button-down point collar, long sleeves, button-fastening cuffs,button-fastening flapped chest pockets,

centre-front button fastening 70% cotton, 30% wool.

3. My first pair of Isabel Marant boyfriend printed jeans .I am privately a big fan of skinny jeans or printed trousers. Isabel Marant has got a lot to offer for me and probably it will not be my last pair from her. I love printed or embroidery style but in same time I am not so brave to mixture different colours and experimenting too much and I have classy ideology and if trousers are not plain in colour the top has to be plain for sure or eventually some very delicate or subtle motive on only. Nothing to extravagant. If trousers are plain which is very rare for Isabel Marant then We have more choices and options to combine perfect top.

Mine are Floral Digital Print Jeans Multicolour stretch cotton digital print jeans from isabel marant étoile featuring a skinny fit, a concealed front fastening, belt loops, a five pocket design and rivet detailing. Colour: white Composition Cotton 97%and Spandex/Elastane 3%

Obviously I can not wear all my products together as every is different and needs different set up but all of them i can wear with my Isabel Marant Bekett  ivory sneakers .
I bought also some taupe wool coat from danish designer Birger et Mikkelsen which will match perfectly Isabel Marant chic style . I love this simply but affectionate coat with jumper look sleeves. Mixture of pure virgin wool and viscose. Made in Italy. I have noticed only one small defect which  is that the sleeves will easy bubbling apart from that is just perfect .

Perfect way to set up something was to use my Ted Baker burgundy oxblood leather panel skinny leggings and become a good outfit.

                                               

 

To use my other parts of the lovely delivery I managed to set up another outfit 

The two last photos are my start to introduce my project Aerial Fashion Photography which I hope I will continue here in much wider field and expand more and more .This method is the alternative to standard photography like camera or smartphone . Taking photos from the air is a new method which involved special professional equipment and skills and is a perfect way to expose beauty of clothes,garments,fabrics and ready outfits .

Could be also a little different configuration with orange or ivory top and pearls necklace and Ted Baker Petra Bow Small Tote Bag in light pink. Ladylike shape, top handle bag complete with cross body strap. Metallic zip fastening, Internal zip up pocket, Printed lining.

I am always trying to properly look after about my body and face and I am using high quality products which in same time are safe and not cause allergy . My skin is sensitive in some parts of my face special around my eyes and. I can not use everything. Even only selected cleaning wipes I can use to avoid itchy,swallow and red eye. Again I do not put plenty make up and  I am always trying to be natural as I can as i do not like artificial and exaggerated effect . My favourite cosmetics are Lancome and Clarins but this time I went for Guerlain and Dior .

I have bought some smaller amounts, testers, samples of products to check how they work on me and help to perform incredible image . They are perfect for contouring face and highlighting and brighting up parts of the face which needs some touch and also they are doing great job in moisturising skin. I can easy smooth small wrinkles and cover some face imperfections. The organic ingredients of the products from Guerlain range help to prevent young,healthy and fresh look day by day

• Guerlain Lingerie De Peau 02 Beige Clear Foundation 

Guerlain fulfils every woman’s dream by creating an all-in-one moisturising cream foundation and concealer that seems to fuse with the skin so perfectly it cannot be seen or felt. The two complementary shades blend seamlessly, creating a second skin effect, tailored to match the natural perfection of each individual complexion.

SPF 20 PA+++

Technological breakthrough: Bio-Fusion micro-mesh. Stretchy fibres to smooth and shape the contours of the face have been combined with silk and linen fibres that create an imperceptible veil of perfection for an ultimate second-skin effect. Hyaluronic acid, a powerfully hydrating molecule known for its ability to continuously capture and maintain water in the skin surface is encapsulated in the micro-mesh, and works to immediately restore youthful freshness to the complexion.

• Guerlain Lingerie de Peau 03 Natural Beige 

Guerlain has created its first compact powder foundation so light that it blends seamlessly, like a second skin. The Bio-Fusion micro-mesh, a combination of stretch fibres and textile proteins of natural origin fuse with the epidermis for an optimal distribution of pigments. Powders, chosen for their capacity to marry a soft-focus effect with ideal coverage, fuse and melt at skin temperature. This unique technology promotes a smooth, soft and long-lasting finish, for an even complexion that remains matte and velvety all day long. Composed of hyaluronic acid, Lingerie de Peau compact powder foundation protects the skin's moisture in order to maintain its suppleness and softness from morning to night. Finally, the dream of a perfect complexion is yours. A matte effect foundation becomes lingerie, and drapes your skin with the most natural-looking veil of beauty. Its subtle vanilla-violet fragrance delicately intertwines with the sparkling scent of berries. 

• Guerlain Rose Aux Joues 02 Chic Pink

Women change their outfit, lipstick and handbag each day - so why not their blush? Rose aux Joues reinterprets blush with a duo of colours to combine and adapt in endless ways. A dominant shade to make cheekbones blush and its smaller counterpoint for a savvy mix or a striking juxtaposition full of vibrations. All your make-up desires are satisfied... 

Absolutely feminine, glam, rock or pop, anything goes to create your look and give your complexion delicious colour tones.
The blush has a slight shimmer and is a gorgeous warm pink. The highlighter/contour shade is matte and very light, perfect for alabaster complexions. The blended shade is a pretty warm pink, but I prefer the blush shade all by itself.


• Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons 08 Ebony

 Provides 4 shades with perfect gradation of caramelised tones-Blends together to match different skin colour or season-gives you a naturally tanned complexion all year long-lightweight & enriched with pure gold-makes your skin stay luminous & chic. 

From winter to summer, the tone of the complexion changes. This is why Guerlain has created Terracotta 4 Seasons, a variation in four steps to sculpt your tan all year long. The perfect gradation of caramelised hues, these four shades can be endlessly combined and layered, depending on your desire, skin tone and the season, for an authentic tan and an incredibly natural result.

The complexion is sun-kissed with a sheer finish, both radiant and matt. The natural effect is irreproachable and the tan seems reinvented. 

My palette is quiet dark but I bought for the reason to use as a bronzer to highlight and contour face shape. My  face is a square and needs some modelling to make her bit more narrow optical than is in real.

I am using all of the 4 products from Guerlain however I am not really convicted to the compact foundation and prefer my forever apricot light creator from Yves Saint Laurent. It is much lighter,subtle and smother effect on my skin and is not rolling or peeling off like the compact one.

Apart from that all the products are exceptionally high quality and very practical and useable. 

Another set of products which I respect very much is a Dior range included Dior Instant Eye Make up remover,Diorshow brown mascara and Dior Capture Totale multi perfection concentrated lotion.

Instant eye makeup remover leaves a sensation of extreme softness, suited to the fine, weakened and lipid-poor skin of the eye contour area. With stupefying ease and a non-oily effect, this two-phase makeup remover comes to grips with the most resistant, including waterproof, makeup.
