Her name is Jasmine Van den Bogarde and she is just 16 years old, at her age i was still hanging around doing nothing basically (pretty much this is that i'm doing now as well) but hopefully she'll keep it up and we'll hear more of hear in a future

how i tried to pretend to be a professional model

  My friend, who was studying a photography decided to try do a photo shoot in a " fashion magazine" style, and he asked me to be his model, and i though  to myself why not, it will be a good experience and a great story to tell my grandchildren when I'll be old.  

So, in spite of the pimple, which decided to pop out in the same day as a photo shoot, we had a really god time, and here is a result of our work, hope you'll like it!

this photo took us a while, because at the first time i couldn't do a serious, seductive face expression, because of the neighbour looking at us through the opposite window, probably thinking why do this girl is half naked,standing by herself at the wall, my photographer was hiding behind the curtains so he couldn't see him, and that's why he didn't understand why i was laughing so hard, but i think in the end we've made it, and i must say i didn't knew that i have this seductive look, thanks to my mum!:)

she's wolf

I was feeling quite wild today, wearing my favourite wolf t-shirt, but my new boots decided that i'm not going to enjoy this day, and after two hours of walking my feet was killing me, so i was more like a tired bunny rather then a wild wolf , but at least i managed to took some photos

Jacket: H&M; T-Shirt: Cubus, Boots (which i'm not going to wear for a long time): Unknown brand. 

Tour to the leather technology centre

I think a lot of people (and i was one of them before) looks at the leather bags and shoes as a stylish accessories and don't even think about behind scene

Do you know what it takes to get it done and make look "pretty and shiny" ?

Behind the fashionable bag stands unfashionable and dirty process of making animal skin look the way we used to see it : colourful, soft and nice.

Leather get stretched, washed and colourised. Also, it takes a lot of time to  and to put a different textures and prints on it and make it softer by putting the leather under special machine.
I haven't seen any woman in that factory, men doing not only all the dirty work, but also a creative bit as well, which is quite funny to watch, how do they choose between pink and red colour. I thought it was a great experience to see how all the good-quality clothes and accessories are made, even if i still can't forget that horrible smell inside the factory.
