Time to Move.

So seeing that this "flagged" situation is not going to an end, i decided I'm leaving blogger and moving to Wordpress.

But the moving is going a little slower than I thought.

Hopefully everyone that is being flagged will move out of Blogger to another host and Blogger will realized it can not flag a blog without first checking its content.

If everyone moves away, Blogger will have to improve its lame policy. Although it will be maybe too late, who knows.

In any case, i'm moving.
I will let you know my new link as soon as everything will run good and ok.

THANKS SO SO MUCH EVERYONE WHO'S SUPPORTING ME.
IT IS MUCH APPRECIATE IT.

xoxo

What The Heck is THIS ??

It seems some of my readers think that the content of my blog is somehow suspicious...
I wonder who are those people and which content they consider "suspicious"...
Now everytime you try to conect to my blog you will see this annoying warning:

It states that some readers have contacted Google to warn them that my blog ain't no good...

Bejeweled Happy New Year !

Beginning of Cabaret by Bob Fosse

Portrait of Journalist Sylvia von Harden by Otto Dix.

Hello everyone and first of all Happy New Year!

I am back from a short trip to Berlin. It was short short, just three days, but Berlin is so beautiful it's a shame i can't get a job there because i would be moving right away!

My first fashion New Year greetings came, surprisingly, from two jewelry designers, the French Shourouk and the Turkish Ceren Keyman.
I said "surprisingly" because my blog is not really about jewels so it's so pretty to get greetings form their designers.

Shourouk started as textile designer before pursuing a career in jewelry design, working for important houses as Chloé, John Galliano or Roberto Cavalli.
Her jewels are girly, romantic and vintage-y, those kinds of pieces our little sisters would die for.
Oh, I'm particularly in love with these birds... oh my, I really am!


Now, Ceren Keyman's career is, let's say, quite unusual for a fashion designer. No prestigious design schools here or travels to New York or London for masters or interships with the most famous fashion designers.
Keyman is a professional violinist graduated from Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey.
She continued her studies in Paris and is now performing professionally and making a life out of it.
But her artistic spirit didn't stop at performing the violin and so in 2007 she created a jewelry collection under the name Keyman Design.
Thereafter she has designed set designs for stage, objects and furniture.
Her work is sleek, made out of plastic and very very Pop. See for yourself.
