STYLE <3

How could you be a Londoner without S-T-Y-L-E?!

Recently I've been invited to be a style contributer at LookBook !
I am very honored and impressed by the good quality of street style on the website. In addition to the great self-photography, the contributors also show you their color palette AND where they got their pieces from.
Overall, I think it's a great source for your everyday-fashion inspiration.
here are some hotness examples:





keep it chic everyone!

you know you love me

I was wondering this weekend...



... Can you figure a billion? I mean, how many zeroes does it have after '1'? Twelve, I guess? It is a big number. Hard to imagine.

But just to get an idea, remember a time in your life when you might have tried to count up to the furthest you could? Mine was till 2000, if I didn't skip any on my way. I remember it took me such a long time, I felt kinda stupid afterwards, because maybe I could have made a better use of my time with something else.

Now I can finally see, however, that the time I'd spent counting up to 2000 maybe a decade ago was worth something, and that is realizing how damn big a billion must be.

I might be a bit around the bushes here but, in order to make my point, it's important to be sure you understand the magnitude of this number. As we know, there are billions of Sun-like-stars in our very own galaxy. What are the odds of finding similar solar systems with planets like ours, orbiting other suns along the Milky Way?

Now, we also know there are billions of galaxies just like ours throughout the universe as well, so if you do the math, you may reckon it's something like billions times billions stars floating everywhere in space, with their own planetary systems. Bearing that in mind, a variety of interesting questions may come up in your head as what the odds would be, now, of finding somewhere out there across the space something just like what we have here in our tinny bit of universe, or maybe how big this black old nothing in which everything floats since forever really is. You may even notice a slight change in the way you feel about life in other planets, since there might be awfully lots of them around. Nevertheless, my friend, in the aftermath, the answers to all these questions will still insistently remain either uncertain or obscure as our idea of what a billion really means.

Therefore, to those who didn’t get my point: don’t just wonder during the weekends, go do something useful! lol

First night out balance










So...last Saturday night, some of us joined Oat for the Slave for Fashion party...But first, we had such a wonderful time at Shu's pre party @ his place in Brick Lane (Did I spell Shu right?). He's living in a very nice flat with a terrace, where we could chill out with some beers, screwdrivers and tonic vodkas, surrounded by a lounge music soundtrack. The highlight of the pre-club meeting was the delicious japanese dumplings by Shu's, Ray and Cathy. Y-U-M-M-Y! After that, we went to BEACH BLANKET BABYLON to check out the party. Nice music, people in very crazy outfits.... but it definitly wasn't a hell of a party: they closed 20 minutes after we got in, at 1 am. Too bad...

As the club closed, we searched around for an after party.. we heard about one near Liverpool Street, but it didn't seem to be the it-party. So we went back to Brick Lane to find out about the clubs there, but we decided it wasn't worthy to get in and went home earlier....

So check out our first night out balance:
Dumplings: 10.0
Drinks: 10.0
Outfits: 10.0
People's Excitement: 10.0
Shu's place: 10.0
BEACH BLANKET BABYLON: 2.0 - 1am is a great time to start a party, not to end it!!! And no red bull available at the bar!

The party was great, though! So sad...

My suggestion for next time : Let's try Fabric?

FOR SUNNY SUNDAYS


Probably, all you guys are in the Hyde Park having fun in this sunny day. I’m here, at home, in terrible hangover to show up. So decide to keep on track and try to write a bit. Anyway…  next sunny day we can all go for a picnic in another place, a very edgy one: London Field. In the East side, near by Colombia Road (famous flower fair street in London), you will find the it-park where fashion/arts people hang out. Bring your Veuve Clicquot case, a check towel, sunglasses and you are perfect for a classy lazy Sunday. Furthermore, you can have a bite in Broadway Market, just off the road.

How to get there?

First stop Old Street Station, take the bus 55, get off  in Broadway Market, walk a bit and there you are.

FASHIONABLE LOUD



Tired of singing alone in the shower? So it’s time to sing your heart out in the best Karaoke in London. Localized in Soho,  Lucky Voice features nine private rooms that you can fill with friends, japonese beers (make sure you are drunk for a good performance) and lots of loud out of tune singing. Each one of the beautifully-designed rooms comes with rugs, bunny tiara, cowboy hats and, of course, few microphones for a proper and stylish show. Also, you can order drinks and pizza inside. The prices vary according to number of people, time and day of the week. For about £ 45 you can have a room for six people. And don't forget to book in advance, it’s definitely necessary! From Britney Spears to The Clash, they have all the best hits. Liberate yourself and have fun! 

Xoxo Marina ;)
