Vintage Picks and a Very Romantic Perspective

Well, I always share some photos and music with you guys since 2007, but I never talk properly about it. My favorite hobby is to do some researches in the Vintage World, obviously this help a lot my job in all forms.

So tonight, sunday night, I'm listening to Gainsbourg and 70's porn movies soundtrack picking some cool vintage outfits for our week. 

Here my favorites w/ a short story below the images:

1994 Renalto Balestra Metallic Blue Halter Gown with Shawl

So, obviously the sunday mood are doing something with my brain, as usual. I'm just thinking if I was fucking obscene rich I would throw away my sweatpants and wear something which match properly my personality. So, I opened my browser and the first piece who I fall this night: A 94 Balestra Gown in a very annoying Blue; You know, love is not always 100% fun and beauty so, let's not complain about the color.

1980s Chanel Striped Cotton Pajamas

PJ'S?? Really? Probably if we organize this look with a hat and clean flip flops people around will say we are  some excentric person from British Royalty. I'm just so down for this look.

1960s Pierre Cardin Ivory and Green Silk Print Ostritch Feather Trim Dress

I definitely have a feeling about this dress. Not my scene to be honest but I had a vision wearing this on a side of some piano who i never played, so that's something. I LOVE Cardin and all about him, so when I notice me "not exactly liking" something he designed, I create a story and organize my thoughts. In the end of a sentence, like here, I'm falling in love for the piece.

Very Sunday also, brunch hour. Merveilleux!! 

1980s Gianni Versace Velvet "Medusa" Mules

The Mules comeback sound very familiar to me, literally. My mom used to wear a lot when i was 6,7. She was pretty cool. I have no idea why I have none of them! I will definitely put my shit together and get one. Keep Watchin'

1960s Bill Tice for Malcolm Starr Navy Blue Silk Sequin Beaded Gown

My coffee just get cold and I'm hungry but this Bill Tice Dress is more important at moment. I think about this piece not as a Gown, but with flat boots, unkle ones maybe with a messy hair but good skin smoking a cigarette. Very casual. Am I wrong? Maybe is this french music I'm listening to. Romantic visions

Emilio Pucci Mini-Dress - 1980s

The type of dress which should be the new "little black dress" - BASIC! MUST HAVE! Really, can we fight against this? Never. A classic Pucci. Brilliant. Let me get my 60s fake long lashes and dance barefoot on my orange carpet wearing this baby

1980s Burgundy 100% Scottish Cashmere Chanel Sweater

Ok, I'm more civilized now about what people should wear on sundays... Not for to long. Classic cut and a very winter color I'm so in! Probably with a cup of fresh tea or coffee wearing this sweater, in a rainy day, watching some classics, you feel complete.

Very, very charming

Emilio Pucci Cotton Velvet High Waisted Hot Pants With Fringe Trim, Circa 1970's

So, we are in the Frech Riviera, after Cannes week. You get so bored at time then go for a walk by yourself after a party hard weekend. Stop for a coffee, read a paper and a tanned tall french guy ask you for a lighter. When you accept his invitation to a vespa ride around, you probably will be wearing this shorts.

So, ok, we don't need more details.A super fun piece. Designed for adventures and long legs individuals.

80's Thierry Mugler 2 piece outfit

Well.. You still with the french homme who you met in the coffee place. If you already watched to "Bonjour Tristesse" the scene who involve you guys are definitely a warm night by the sea, in the backyard of your villa. After a night-swim and a perfect sleep on his arms, you choose this look for the outside brunch with no makeup on. Who need make up on when you are extremely happy and in love?

1960s Missoni Dress and Coat Ensemble

So cute. And I'm not even into "cute" outfits. My coffee still cold but, I can't go without finish and share this very special Vintage Picks. 

This Missoni dress + coat are just amazing. How fucking cool is to go for a quick shop wearing this beauty? I just realize i love gown and sparkling pieces with a messy hair + wrong shoes on. All for your state of spirit, not to look like classy or fashion. So, my forever mood even I'm not into blue at all. We definitely can't recuse this beauty.

Romeo Gigli Velveteen Swagger Coat, Circa 1980's

Deadly. Swagger Coat is the perfect name btw; I just saw me wearing this piece everyday until someone from my family hide from me, because it's just too much. So, this said, I'm going to prepare a fresh 01:30 AM coffee.

(You can check deeply my fashion, art, design, architecture picks on my pinterest. Also, my brain have a instagram account where have daily inspiration in all this sectors, you should follow)

The salty wet kiss. A few seconds transcending the eternity

(image from one of my favourite movies "La Piscine" 1969)

I can't help it...Maybe being romantic doesn't match with my visual aesthetic, strong sexy and empowering, but, I'm the person who cries after a deep gratitude meditation, because, well...because I'm happy and super grateful.
I catch myself for years writing and hiding my words about love, probably I was too afraid to look weak..and something I've been noticing is, most of the people mistake kind gestures with weakness...Mistake gratitude and compliments with weakness...I get surprised all the time with this type of feedback.
I was at my gramma place for lunch and before it, I thank her for the beautiful food preparation and lovely table, and she, laughing said "amen"...In a sarcastic way. I didn't understand why... I didn't get offended but I'm just paying attention in some "normal" behaviours.
Anyway, I'm very happy lately demonstrating more of my gratitude, and with my daily deep meditation routine.
I was wondering this morning a scene in my fav place on earth, Positano..I love Italian summer. You breathe love. I'm not sure for who I wrote that or if is just a wish, or if I visualised a couple in a love scene. But while you read try to imagine. Is a beautiful scene...

First, play my Mediterranean playlist...

"A wet kiss by a guy who just runs out the sea for your beloved one arms, taste like the eternity. That's how I can define eternity in a love aspect.

Can be very pleasant...A salty wet kiss when the sun is high as our passion and admiration. But without the connection of values and consistency with mind body and soul, will become just a distraction. A distracting kiss. Not enough.

Let's not content with not enough. In a certain way, I doubt. In such special moment in such special place, probably and almost sure the universe would never put a common person with someone so special and transcendent like you, the higher self just attracts other higher ones. So, I can call it love. The salty wet kiss. A few seconds transcending the eternity"

Sending love,
C.

People in Transit

"People In Transit"

my latest fleeting romance

Our chat was a blast but maybe you are some sort of a computer

When you where swimming my way

I saw the embeds

I saw the numbers

But I stayed, for a while

I will not cover up the story saying just the assholes will switch all my greatness up

But you prefer the distractions

Not who is prepared

Never, what I once for a few hours

My soul flows

All devotion, the fleeting devotion was killed in time

I have a different romantic sight

I’m a short-term romantic

I like the small doses of soul, the quick connection

I fall in love with their words and the way their look through the world

I live this feeling for a while not for long

Sometimes and mostly, just for a few days

The melancholy to not have, inspire me

Sometimes their get back

I like to call us "people in transit"

So I enjoy every part of love and inspiration of our greatness, even the bitter greatness we share with each other

I bring to life, I feel it much, and writing I let our story go, with loads of love 

I will become personal

In some way I feel you have lot to say and share

About life, about music, cinema, yourself

That’s what I get attached in a gentle way in people

What’s their ideas about literature, emotions and aesthetics 

I want someone to prove me wrong, or at least, show me a side I’ve never saw

Even if  I'm sleeping on it

Mostly, I do not agree but I feel the joy of the new, and the respect of each other perspective

A love without a lover

Or with a lot of lovers

Inside my soul, keeping a room, cozy room

Cool candles

Sometimes is like a half a hour talk, but some can be more present then some who I talk everyday, at work, or at the gym

We never know why exactly

Meantime I feel 200%

I care

I know the whole process of my heart and head

Tricky

Metaphorical

After a few years I get it, will pass

Sometimes take years

Had times which still going on

You, if you want to know, will take a few days or weeks

Because of the misunderstanding of my part

Or yours

Ours

I used to think I was always falling in love

Not always romantically

Sometimes in a soul form

Now I know we need more

To give and receive love

Nothing matters

We have no choice when the subject is love

What I'm writing here, I would be confused

If was love, I would be writing in a non sense way, my favorite words

But I’m not

I don’t care about your music

I’m more interested in your heart and soul

Or I had a misunderstanding vibe come from your words and songs

Stole my mind and solve your crimes.

bLA BLA BLA em portugues

Listening to: Schubert

Meu computador esta sem acento e escrevi isso no caderno, achei interessante compartilhar algo em portugues..Eu geralmente escrevo em ingles pq me sinto mais confortavel mas como esse texto foi escrito assim, nao cabe a mim traduzi-lo, perderia o sentido, mesmo que talvez para voce, nao tenha muito.

"Eu não tomo como verdade nada do que esta acontecendo. Nem essa paisagem, apesar de ser o momento atual, para mim, nao é. A paisagem nunca fez parte da realidade. Cada momento que eu vivi foi dentro de mim independente do cenario. As vezes me perco, mas essas foram poucas, e imaturas vezes. 

Quando aparecem pinturas desgastadas, pessoas mais velhas e predios em construcao, me interessa.

Voce nao acha estranho a realidade aparecer tanto em construcoes antigas? Quase nada nas coisas novas. Sem meio termo.

 Imagine tudo isso vazio, todos esses predios em volta, vazios. Entrar em casa por casa e visualizar o que foi vivido ali, ler as anotacoes deixadas. Notar o que erroneamente chamamos de "defeito", que sao na verdade, apenas caracteristicas, que pessoalmente tomamos como ruim ou nao. As coisas apenas sao. Voce vai passar pelas meias sujas no chao...Pela cortina manchada. Isso é lindo, e humano. 

O que as pessoas esperam de nós, pq esperam algo sempre e vice versa?
Agora imagine todas essas pessoas que visitamos as casas em um vazio, no meio do nada, sem saber da onde vieram ou quem sao. Sobre oq falariam?
O mundo bidimensinal que existe dentro do quadro (citando meu livro "A Virgem por Etica) é isso. A transição para conseguir apenas "ser". Será que de alguma forma, isso é possivel?
Eu raramente lembro das coisas...Assim no geral. Eu nem sei onde eu estou, levando em consideracao que o redor nao existe.
Mas as pessoas sim, elas existem se a gente deixar. Vivemos em um mundo inventado pelos outros. Eu tambem nunca lembro oq escrevi. É sempre uma surpresa. Tenho até medo na hora de editar. Se voce comecar a criar sua realidade vai perceber que é uma jornada bem solitária. Eu nao quero nada que já exista. Queria conseguir viver varias vezes e criar tudo, os copos a minha volta, animais, cores, letras, linguas. Oq nao quer dizer que eu negaria a dos outros. Pelo contrário, continuaria me maravilhando. As pessoas são especiais. Mesmo as mais tenebrosas. Elas apenas, são.
Existem periodos necessários para evolução, e são solitários. Acontecem de tempos em tempos, e vem sem você querer, é quase uma necessidade, como tomar agua. Essa evolução e auto conhecimento é um pouco perigosa, parece criar um certo desprezo com o mundo fora da bolha. E particularmente esse
é um cuidado a ser tomado, pois se seu anseio
é como o meu, a ideia é libertar as pessoas, não despreza-las. Será que existem mais pessoas que conseguem viver livre do julgamento sobre o próximo? Ninguem tem ideia de como é, entao mesmo se nós transcendermos,
será algo muito pessoal. O bom nunca
é bom para o ruim e vice versa. Entao caimos no papo da própria realidade de volta.
Lucidez.

 Enfim, eu estava de olho em algumas imagens de ovos nas mais variadas formas quando voce me ligou."

Beijos,

Carol

The Waiting Room

I think the charm of my blog is how different one post are from another. And how I look different look to look. I like to suggest i'm many different people. Mostly I write down a short story before put my camera on timer. Also, sometimes I create a story just when I start to click.

I feel kind of uncomfortable when people ask to photograph me. I think lost all sense of what I create here.I don't get posing for someone behind the lens with no story. Personal stuff. I like to make self portraits because is part of my creative process. Is part of my self esteem process. Is part of my fashion process.

What type of feeling I'm trying to express here? Even not being my personal feeling, I try to go hard on the characters. 

About this shooting: The place when we die, unless when we are talking about the scenery of one of my stories, is a waiting room. A 70s one. Orange carpet, geometric objects, a secretary wearing a pencil skirt trying to answer all the calls from a phone which never stop ringing. People waiting. Ambience sound. Actually is a Gainsbourg song without his voice. Baudelaire.

I'm not on this scene, but I just imagine myself watching the people waiting, waiting after death to decide what they should do now. On my story you have two options:

1. You can live inside a object/as a object, very lucid, watching around. Like, you can be a tree in a very high mountain. Or you can live inside a paiting, which is located in front of the bed of your ex lover. If you like to torture yourself, of course. 

2. You can stay forever at the waiting room. Serving some old crackers. Talking to people who are in denial. Who doesn't? We are alive, but we act like the rest of the world don't exist sometimes. So we are kind of in the waiting room serving crackers. We are from faar, to lazy to move from there. To lazy even to be a object.

So, this scene is about that, without the melancholy. Just a very pratical vision, of us.

The photos are just my idea of the colors. Not about the story.
