Have You Ever Been Experienced?... (Part 1)


.Colorful 1960´s - 1970´s.

Enjoy the ride
...

A new age and a new value system had been born.
People wanted to experiment and have fun. And, to use the old cliché, make love not war.
As long as you were young, beautiful, and creative, the world was your oyster.
It was a golden age, an exciting time to be alive.
- Pattie Boyd

"Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come..." -Audrey Hepburn

Some days we wake up feeling like stangers in this world. Everything makes perfect sense around us but deep inside, we feel there´s a piece of the puzzle missing, we want more and we start looking for answers that usually never come. We feel the blues and cry, we are happy and smile. Our mood changes constantly while time passes by. Time is the only thing that we can´t stop even if we try. Honestly, i hate to waste it thinking too much. Let´s see if i can take it slow, free my mind, let things happen and choose a smile.

Time to live 
Time to lie 
Time to laugh 
Time to die 

Take it easy, baby 
Take it as it comes 
Don't move too fast 
And you want your love to last 
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast 

Time to walk 
Time to run 
Time to aim your arrows 
At the sun 

Take it easy, baby 
Take it as it comes 
Don't move too fast 
And you want your love to last 
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast 

Go real slow 
You like it more and more 
Take it as it comes 
Specialize in havin' fun

Baby´s in White...

"There is no greatness where there is not simplicity" - Coco Chanel


I just LOVE Twiggy´s white minidress here. 

It´s just so... Simple. Sweet. Cute.

As much as you need the Ying and the Yang to keep balance in life, you  also need the black and the white in your closet to keep your fashion on a perfect level. There´s something about a little white dress, it´s classy and so feminine. A perfect combination and a simple nice and fresh way of dressing that never seems to fade...

Twiggy


"Those long eyelashes, such short hair, a petite figure... an icon"

Twiggy (born Lesley Hornby; 19 September 1949) is an English model, actress, and singer, now also known by her married name of Twiggy Lawson. At 16, she became the first prominent teenage model. She was known for her large eyes, long eyelashes, and thin build, and is regarded as one of the most famous models of all time. She was raised in the London suburb of Neasden, the daughter of Helen (Nellie) Lydia Hornby (née Reeman), and William Norman Hornby, a master carpenter and joiner. She got her first job as an assistant in a hairdressers where her sister Viv worked then became a counter-girl at a Woolworth's store and factory worker at a printing firm.She attended the Brondesbury and Kilburn High School in Salusbury Road, Kilburn.

In 1966, Nigel Davies noticed the young Lesley Hornby and offered her a modelling contract. She was only 16 and weighed 6½ stone (41 kg, 91 lbs). Davies advised her to go by her childhood nickname, Twiggy. After sweeping England as "The Face of '66" when her modeling pictures, taken by Barry Lategan, were made public, Twiggy arrived in New York in March 1967. It was believed that the Twiggy craze would die down within a month; however, she became an icon. Known for the high fashion mod look created by Mary Quant, Twiggy changed the world of fashion with her short-haired androgynous look. She was also famous for drawing long, fake eyelashes under her bottom lashes.

With long hair...

Nowadays...

Twiggy appeared as a judge on the reality show America's Next Top Model. As of 2009, she models for Marks and Spencer to promote their recent rebranding, appearing in TV adverts and print media, alongside Myleene Klass, Erin O'Connor, Lily Cole and others.
