Why do I love the theatre

March 31, 2014

My mom was visiting for the weekend and in addition to thrift shopping, eating lunch and dessert at different cafes and just plain walking around (not in those heels, though), we also went to the theatre. I haven't properly gone to see a play in ages and it really came to me how much I like the activity itself, regardless of the play. Allow me to make a list and explain:
Finally having a reason for dressing up. I wore the outfit below and oh-how-great it was to put on that red lace beauty and wear heels and a bowtie and all that jazz. 
Perfume. The smell of my very first perfume reminds me of going to the theatre and when sitting down to watch the play, I love the cloud of tens of fragrances around me.
Architecture. Theatre buildings usually tend to be works of art and so are the halls, so before the play starts, I'm usually sitting with my head tilted as far back as I can, admiring the ceilings and chandeliers. 
Peoplewatching during intermission. It's one of my favourite things to do and the intermission was practicaly invented for that. 
Going home in a taxi. Yes, I pretend that it's the only acceptable form of public transport. 

Mu ema oli sel nädalavahetusel mul Tartus külas ja lisaks kaltsukates käimisele, erinevates kohvikutes lõunatamisele ja lihtsalt jalutamisele (mitte nendes kingades), käisime me ka teatris. Ma pole tõeliselt kaua korralikult teatris käinud ja mulle tuli taas meelde kui väga mulle see tegevus meeldib, hoolimata etendusest mida ma vaatama lähen. Lubage ma teen väikese nimekirja ja selgitan: 
Põhjus end üles lüüa. Kandsin seda riietust, mida allpool näete ja oi-kui-hea oli jälle seda punast pitskleiti kanda, kõrged kingad jalga panna, lipsuke juustesse lükata ja kogu enesekaunistamise protsess korralikult läbi teha. 
Parfüüm. Minu kõige esimese lõhnaõli lõhn meenutab mulle teatris käimist ja alati, kui olen saalis maha istunud, meeldib mulle nuusutada seda kümnete lõhnade pilve enda ümber.
Arhitektuur. Teatrihooned on tavaliselt kunstiteosed ning enamasti ei jää ka saalid neile alla, seega enne, kui etendus algab, istun ma tavaliselt pea kuklas ja imetlen lage.
Vaheajal inimeste vaatamine. See on üleüldse üks mu lemmiktegevusi ja vaatuste vaheajad on selleks lausa loodud. 
Taksoga koju sõitmine. Jah, ma teesklen, et see on minu jaoks ainus mõeldav ühistranspordiliik.

The neverending dress

March 27, 2014

I know I say this about many of my clothes, but this dress really has grown on me and my wardrobe would be empty without it. I got it about a year ago from Fashion Union and ever since, it has been my favourite. Not only that, but over the year, it has developed some serious sentimental value. I wrote my final essay in this, it was with me when the best memories of Positivus festival was made, even my friends have worn it! If there was a "Top worn pieces of Bowtie Diary", I'm sure that this dress would be in the Top 10. 

Ma tean, et ma ütlen seda tõeliselt paljude riiete kohta, aga see kleit on mulle väga oluliseks saanud ja ilma selleta oleks mu kapp tühi. Sain selle umbes aasta tagasi Fashion Unionist ja see sai kohe mu lemmikuks. Lisaks on see endale külge saanud ka tohutu sentimentaalse väärtuse. Kirjutasin selles kleidis oma lõpukirjandi, elasin läbi Positivuse parimad hetked ja isegi mu sõbrad on seda kandnud! Kui kuskil oleks "Populaarseimad riideesemed Bowtie Diary's", siis see kleit oleks kindlasti esimese kümne hulgas.

When did you last wear your denim shorts?

Arctic Monkeys - Mardy Bum

Today was another one of those lovely spring days, with the sun shining in from my window the better half of the day and making everything nicer. What I did to celebrate all this extraordinaryness? Went to eat ice cream of course! 
I spent the morning lazily on bed, with a cup of coffee and Alexa Chung's "It". I've been devouring the book like it's melt-in-your-mouth brownie. I'm starting to get the idea that when I grow up, I want to be her. To be honest, this outfit is probably slightly inspired by (read: completely copied off of) Alexa's tomboyish style. Though the headband and the ribbon add a blairwaldorfish twist, so there you have it - my two biggest style influencers put together in one Saturday outfit!

Täna oli jälle üks selline tore kevadpäev, kui päike paistab aknast sisse ja teeb kõik ilusamaks. Kuidas ma seda erilisust tähistasin? Loomulikult tegin Karlovas ühe pika-pika jalutuskäigu ja käisin jäätist söömas. 
Hommikupooliku veetsin laisalt voodis, jõin kohvi ja lugesin Alexa Chungi raamatut "It". Ma olen seda raamatut neelanud nagu see oleks maailma kõige suussulavam šokolaadikook. Hakkan vaikselt arvama, et kui ma suureks saan, tahan olla tema. Ausalt öeldes, on see riietus ka ilmselt pisut inspireeritud (loe: täielikult maha kopeeritud) Alexa lahedast poisilikust stiilist. Kuigi peavõru ja lipsuke annavad kerge blairwaldorfiliku nõksu juurde. Nii ongi ühes outfitis kokku saanud kaks minu suurimat inspiratsiooni-naist!

Aced it!

March 13, 2014

Lately, the wonderful smell of coming spring has been accompanied by days of sunshine and temperatures already in my comfort zone. Amazing, right! That meant one thing and one thing only. It was time to take my leather jacket out of the closet and into the streets. Oh, how good it felt! With my trusty velvet skirt and the must-have collared shirt adorned with a few cool collar pins, it was the perfect outfit to walk around town and pretend to be completely oblivious about the actual temperature and my freezing fingers. Dear jacket, you're going to have to go back to the closet for a while, but better days are yet to come.

Viimasel ajal on mõnusale kevadelõhnale lisandunud ka päikesepaistet täis päevad ja õhutemperatuur, mida ma suudan juba aktsepteerida. Päris lahe, või mis? See tähendab ainult üht asja - oli aeg kapist välja võtta eelmise aasta suur lemmik, nahktagi. Ja selle selga panemine oli nii hea! Sametseeliku ja kohustusliku pluusiga, mille kraed kaunistasid ägedad ässakesed, oli see täpselt õige riietus linnas ringi jalutamiseks. Samal ajal pisut teeseldes, et ma ei saa aru õigest õhutemperatuurist ja mu sõrmed ei hakka külmuma. Armas jakk, praeguseks pead kappi tagasi minema, aga paremad päevad on tulekul.

Meet Mr. Jones!

March 08, 2014

Each day is more and more spring-like, so right now is just about the right time to wear all the jumpers and cardigans that have been cast in the depths of your closet for too long. Let them see daylight for one last time, until they have to make room for better things, such as crop-tops, cut-off shorts and all other nice things. 
Being the basics-lover that I am, I was beyond stoked to wear this Jones cardi from Never Fully Dressed. According to Alexa Chung (the queen of everything that I believe in, sartorially and otherwise), everyone needs a basic navy jumper in their wardrobe. So now I have mine and can reach to it one the days, when picking out clothes is too much of a task, so I just reach for my favourites. As I've mentioned a hundred times before, the "black jeans, white shirt and something else" combo in unbeatable. 

Iga päev on aina rohkem kevadine, seega just nüüd on õige aeg enda kappi vedelema jäänud kampsunitele veel viimast korda päevavalgust näidata. Siis saavad nad rahulikult jääda ootama uut aastat ja teha ruumi parematele asjadele nagu nabapluusid, lühikesed püksid ja kõik muu suvine ja tore. 
Mulle nii väga meeldivad lihtsad basicud ja see kardigan poest Never Fully Dressed sobib sinna kategooriasse ideaalselt. Alexa Chung (võib öelda, et minu suur eeskuju ning mitte ainult riietuse osas) on ka öelnud, et igaühel peaks riidekapis olema üks lihtne tumesinine kampsun. Nüüd mul on enda oma olemas ja saan selle juurde pöörduda päevadel, kus mõtlemine sellele, mida selga panna, on liiga keeruline ülesanne. Sellistel puhkudel panen alati selga enda lemmikriided. Nadu ma olen sada korda öelnud, et ole vastast "mustad teksad, valge pluus ja midagi veel" kombinatsioonile.
