Parents....On Hadden Street, City Centre, Aberdeen

Yep, that's us and our first walk with buggy to city centre.
Our baby-boy Antoni is already 1 month old. We enjoy every minute
together as a family. We both prefer sporty style, especially oldschool
sportswear. I'm wearing shoes from Reebook Freestyle collection -
you can find it on ebay.

Houndstooth...On Belmont Street, Aberdeen

This photo was taken on Belmont Street and I really don't know why, but it reminds a scene from an Italian movies from the 90s. Very simple and elegant outfit like for a lady in her age. Big plus for Houndstooth pattern, which comes back every year to W/A collections.

 

Here some inspirations and ideas how to wear it.

Maybe you have your own ideas? :-)

Skater....On LittleJohn Street, Aberdeen

Skaters are definetly my favourite subculture, which I belonged to when I was
a teenage.I remember wearing loose colourful clothes, riding roller-skates and
spending time on a half-pipe with fellas. We-girls always taught that
skateborading was always more appriopriate for boys. Skateboarding was
probably born sometime in the late 1940s or early 1950s when surfers in California
wanted something to surf when the waves were flat. No one knows who made
the first board; it seems that several people came up with similar ideas at around
the same time. Since time ithe whole skateboarding evaluated completly in different
countries. Fashion for skaters has been always very important and even now it looks
completly different now than 15 years ago. Tight pants, beards and minimalism are
back to skaters's fashion. I wish that my son could become a great skater one day! :-)

Four........On Union Terrace, Aberdeen

Four different women and three different generations, but all shopping at last
Street Market.
What else they have in common?
- Summer minimal clothes and of course comfy shoes adequate to their age
and outfits.
Love colours, love Summer!!

Elegance...On Huntly Street, Aberdeen

You don't need to put on yourself plenty stuff to look elegant
- today I understand it.
But 10 years ago I used to wear earings, bracelets, sunnies, belts and many
other types of accesories at once, which actually used to make me look funny,
not chic :-)
Definetly less is more and I stick to it!!

Summer Chill...On Union Terrace, Aberdeen

Summer chill for me means comfy shoes and very simple casual clothes
plus sunnies and/or hat. I would just add eco bag or sachet.
This outfit works perfect for me and even a girl could wear it, don't you think so?

Spanish Family...On Belmont Street, Aberdeen

I met a group of Spanish family, while passing through Belmont Street.
They were sitting all on a window ledge, drinking beer and having a nice
time during hot summer days in Aberdeen, which are unfotunately gone.
I photographed a father and his daughter - they look so lovely together!
mmmmmm :-)

Funky....On Schoolhill, Aberdeen

I wouldn't change anything in her outfit. I like her funky style - curly hair,
crazy-patterned dress and my favourite sportswear - the New Balances.
I plan to buy black'n'white one for autum! These are shoes - icons,
which are always in fashion and probably they will never get cheaper :-)

Meaningful Event in Aberdeen - Walk For Women

Walk For Women

What is it?

One hundred years ago thousands of women walked from all across Britain, starting from as far away as Lands End and Newcastle, converging in Hyde Park, London on the 26th July.

There were 50,000 women assembled in Hyde Park on that day in 1913. 

They were demonstrating to the government how many women wanted the right to vote.

What's the idea of the Walk?

The idea is to celebrate The idea is to celebrate those women this summer by gathering with a few, or with many, and walking.

Walk For Women Aberdeen CLICK

A group of women met at the Art Gallery at 1.00 pm last Saturday and walked meaningful miles around Aberdeen to mark 100 years since the 1913 assembly in Hyde Park to demonstrate for women's suffrage. I really appreciate these ladies and such a worthy idea!  

By the way, they looked so originally and authentic that people were coming across the street to take photos of them :-)

FP at Street Market....On Belmont Street, Aberdeen

Summer events in Aberdeen are the best moments to have a great time and
buy some interesting stuff. I love the whole idea of continental atmosphere
and food tastings. Fortunately thiswasn't the last market on Aberdeen's streets!
Next one starts on Friday the 2nd and will last 3 days! Brilliant!
Here are some photos form the last street market on Belmont Street.

All Black...On Belmont Street, Aberdeen

I love Asian looks! Asian people always look so sweet and cute and their fashion
is so specific and unique, don't you think the same? :-)

Friends...On Belmont Street, Aberdeen

That's a funny story about them, couse I've seen them once, but they were
too far away from me and I couldn't run after them couse I'm very pregnant :-)
But fortunatelly I met them second time and this time I didn't let them go!
They are friends from Slovakia, probably living here in Aberdeen. I really
don't know how to name their style, but this dark colours and minimalistic
forms look great  and it's an advantage to have your own style in times of
consumption and duplication.

Ladies...On Schoolhill, Aberdeen

I love both of them! Even they look completely different, it was easy to notice
that they are good friends and they were having a great time together.
Personally, I prefer the style on the left side, but the other is also interesting -
I would say: "innovative" :-)
Would you like your Mum to follow any of these styles?

Back To Life...City Centre, Aberdeen

I think I owe some explanations and apology for a quite long break in blogging.
It was a hard time last month for me and my 7-months-baby. There were some
complications with pregnancy and we had to spend 2 weeks at Maternity Hospital.
After everything came back to normal, we were sent  back home and back to
a normal life - finally! Here are some photos of me and my Spanish friend from
work - Ana. Ana is a mature woman full of life and energy. She always plans
our meetings and keeps me entertained - thank you Ana! We met last Wednesday
in the city centre. After walk, we went to my favourite coffe house for cappucino
and carrot cake. This this a place, where you can find me in my free time. I feel
there almost like at home..:-)

Boat Shoes...On Belmont Street, Aberdeen

Modern boat shoes were invented in 1935 by Paul Sperry after noticing his
dog's ability to run easily over ice without slipping. Using a knife, he cut siping
into his shoes' soles, inspiring a shoe perfect for boating and a company called
Sperry Top-Sider. Sperry Top-Siders are still a popular brand of boat shoe
today, among many others, including Sebago and Timberland. Boat shoes called
also Deck Shoes are worn today also by a woman as presented on the photo above.
Wearing them it doesn't mean to be super rich and have a boat. They are just icon
shoes like loafers, adapted in normal casual life.
I think that this girl looks absolutely sweet in this flower printed dress, wearing it
together with hoody and boat shoes. It's just a simple look, but very unique.

Black&White....On Belmont Street, Aberdeen

I am a big fan of black&white outfits, couse they are always classy and everyone
looks good in it! Plus red lipstick - this is my favourite colour which I wear mostly
all year. In summer- electric glossy red, in winter - dark matte. That's why I love
her image even more :-) Pretty Girl!!
