Weekend DIY

February 11, 2012


What do you need?

- Two larger flat buttons
- Piece of lace
- Two earring screws

How to make it?

~ Wrap the lace piece on the button, put a bit of hot silicone and press it with the screw for few seconds. ~

A quick Weekend DIY to fill your time with! (I'm going to post something creative for you every weekend) As you see, I just made a new design, I think it looks satisfying. Tomorrow is our tea-testing, so I hope I make some nice photos out of it... Yesterday I went to my hairdresser and got a new hairdo and tomorrow I'm going to finally dye it. My hair dye is called "Frosty Frappuccino", so I'm hoping for some nice results. Otherwise I bought a really lovely Essence lipliner, color 07 CUTE PINK. I recommend you doing little things to change your appearance, such as new hair cut or a new accessory, it might be something small, but it always makes you feel better!

And how's your weekend so far? :)

And if you're homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it

Oh, I want summer! I want an early summer at New York in the 60's...
As it's still too cold and snowy in here, it even decided to rain today... It became foggy and windy, but I was dreaming and watching outside the window from my cosy bed. Getting up early is not really my thing, but if they show "Breakfast at Tiffany's" on TV only once a year, getting up early becomes a ritual. While I was drinking my cup of hot coffee and enjoying the movie, I couldn't help it but think how much Audrey Hepburn's character (Holly Golightly) represents me. My temper, my moods, my habits, my way of thinking and seeing the world... The way Audrey puts the exact amounts of clumsyness, naivety and charm in her role always fascinates me. Later I also watched "Roman vacation" for the second time... I recommend them both, especially if you love old movies like me! By lunch time, after my mandatory cup of tea for the day, something quite strange happened when I heard my mom yelling "A dog! A samoyed!" by looking at the yard outside the bilding (in here I should mention that samoyeds are the most amazingly adorable creatures on Earth and my favorite breed), so I was completely shocked when I saw the huge, fluffy white thing, running in the yard all alone. I kept looking at it and calling it from the window, wondering how a lost dog of my favorite breed shows up right in my yard, infront of my home?! I wasted few minutes looking for my camera (unsuccsessfully) and putting my boots on to go outside, but until I was able to, the dog escaped and I ended up running around the whole building, in order to catch it, but I lost it of my sight and never saw it again... I kept looking trough the window the whole day, but the samoyed never showed up again and I never even managed to touch it or take a photo. :/ Wasn't that strange? Or I'm going crazy. Well, at least I made a nice discovery later on! A music discovery. Just a random Youtube video, of an artist named Birdy (UK singer), which amazed me a lot. I was even more surprised that the girl is only 15 years old! Than I heard few more songs by her and liked them all, actually. The music's kinda melancholic, but not sad, the melody is beautiful and the lyrics are quite meaningfull. Her first album was released November 2011, so you may call her a completely new, but very talanted performer...

Ever heard of a library team? Yeah, I know it sounds strange. But imagine something like F.R.I.E.N.D.S, spending their whole day in a school library, instead of the “Central Park” café. 8 (completely different) people. Five girls, three boys. Sharing every single minute together, for three years now. Listening to music, talking, fighting, laughing, arguing, dating, splitting, smiling, reading, writing, helping each other, sharing, eating, singing, solving problems, missing, crying, dancing, drinking tea, loving, dreaming… All together. I came to a high school I hated 3 years ago and never thought for a moment that I’ll meet these people and they will become such a big part of my life. We had some of our best moments, memories and adventures (and continue to have them), in this library, that we can call a home… And the greatest stories to tell.


Hello big world' said the little girl.

Dear reader,

it's a pleasure to see you here. My name is Preslava (Press) and I'm a student from Bulgaria. I created this blog to post my favorite things and share them with the world, because I think all inspirations should be shared. So you may find stuff about music and all kinds of art, photography (in which I'm very interested), fashion and make up, food and recipes, vintage things, fairy tales, inspirational things, past, present and future, events and places, people and all kinds of "short stories long"... (Also how I spend some of my days, things about my outfits and friends, interviews with interesting people etc.) If you have some time for a bedtime story, than sit and listen to me.
Hope you enjoy it! x


Why FLARE CATCHER?

- Flare
1. to burn with an unsteady, swaying flame, as a torch or candle in the wind.
2. to blaze with a sudden burst of flame
3. to start up or burst out in sudden, fierce activity, passion, etc.
4. to shine or glow.

Funny enough I've never held a flare in my hands, because since I was a kid I was always afraid that it will somehow burn me! But I'm planning on being "brave enough" to do it any time soon, because it'll be like an overcoming of my fear... For me a "flare catcher" is not only a person who overcomes the fears, but a person who always reaches for the light at the end of the tunnel and follows his dreams, no matter what.
