                                                          photos on the left side: by me, on the right side: various internet sources

Almost two months ago i was at the zoo with my boyfriend, made gorgeous photos of animals, which i wanted to share with you,  but during that walk, i was only thinking about connection between animals and fashion, cause everything reminded me of some famous designer piece. Valentino, Lanvin, YSL, D&G, Isabel Marant .... almost every fashion show was going through my head ... Call me crazy, but i saw it! :) That's the reason i made different post.  It's obvious how are these two things related. Animals are huge designer's inspiration for years.... Can you maybe predict, what will be next? Which animal?

Da li vam se nekad dogodilo da u toku šetnje zoološkim vrtom, mislite isključivo na modu i pored vaše ljubavi prema životinjama? Pa tako poželite da date smoki Valentinu, pomazite YSL grivu, prislonite Pradu na grudi, "otmete" konju rep,  same životinje posmatrate kao jedinstvene modele, dok vas vrt podseća na jednu veliku pistu? E pa meni se to upravo dogodilo, i jedan je od glavnih razloga zbog čega fotografije ne gledate na uobičajen način. :) Lanvin, Isabel Marant, D&G, misli su mi letele, u glavi sam prelistavala čitave direktorijume, Style.com fajlove koji su uredno, hronološki složeni ... I moram vam reći, uživala sam. Divila se prelepim životinjama. Preda mnom se nalazila prava inspiracija velikih dizajnera. Sada se pitam, šta je sledeće .... Koja životinja, možete li da predvidite? :)

Alvinne/De Struise article in Taps: The Beer Magazine



I'm happy to say that I have a 1,000 word article on two
great Belgian breweries in the summer issue of Taps:
The Beer Magazine.




(Photo, above: Davy Spiessens and Glenn Castelein
of Picobrouwerij Alvinne.)


The article, given the title of "Naked Ladies and the Gypsy"
by Taps Art Director, Cary Hyodo, features Picobrouwerij
Alvinne and De Struise Brouwers. Both West Flanders
breweries have been very innovative since their inceptions,
and continue to please the palates of discerning beer lovers
all over the world.


(Photo, above: Urbain Cotteau and Carlo Grootaert
of De Struise Brouwers.)


Alvinne has installed a new brewery in Moen,
West Flanders since I wrote the article.


De Struise Brouwers continues to add to their
Old Schoolhouse brewery in Oostvleteren and
to brew there and at Deca in Woesten.


Taps is available at Barnes and Noble and Borders
stores throughout the U.S. as well as other locations.


The Canadian-based magazine is of course readily
available in that country as well.


Taps is also available for on-line download at


I hope everyone enjoys the article!


Cheers,


Chuck

Here are some old photos, from almost a month ago. I was at kids b-day party, and  dress comfy for a hot day, cotton maxi skirt, t-shirt with stripes, vintage necklace, sneakers and big flower to spice it up a little... After we had lunch, i played with camera, and tried to take a photos of myself . And this is result! :)
A kako post izgleda kada sami sebe slikate bez stativa, možete videti upravo sada! :) Sličice su nastale još pre mesec dana, dok sam bila na dečijem rodjendanu...Duga suknja, majica na pruge, omiljena vintage ogrlica, par narukvica, Sky high nokti, pa na sve to još i cvet, mnoštvo boja,  savršeno za druženje sa decom! :) Divno proveden dan uz njihove osmehe i zanimljive priče ...
 p.s. pletenica je nastala nakon igranja "frizerskog salona" sa devojčicama :)

New in "Nail polishes" ...

                                                                                                CLICK TO SEE MORE


                                           Avon/ color me pretty - iced champink   and   Avon / color me pretty - party girl
                                                                                          Don Juan
                                                                              Rimmel - sky high and Essence/cute as hell - bad girl
                                                                                Avon - gold lustre and Avon - coral beat

Today i wanna share with you my new nail polishes that i bought last month.... In one of the previous post you saw some of them, Essence - bad girl HERE, and Rimmel - sky high HERE   and the rest of them you will see soon. My favorite for now is, Avon -coral beat, colors is just amazing, something between red and orange, love it! Also, the golden one is great, it can be matched with so many things, oh, okay i will admit, love them all! :) What is your choice for this summer?

Manija za lakovima se nastavlja, i ovo su poslednji koje sam kupila. :) Essence - bad girl ste imali prilike da vidite OVDE, i Rimmel - sky high nekoliko puta ( npr. OVDE), dok ćete ostale videti u narednim postovima. Za sada mi je omiljeni Avon - coral beat, boja između jarko narandžaste i crvene, ali mi se isto tako dopada i Avon - gold lustre, koji odlično izgleda kada se namaže i preko neke druge nijanse. Koja je vaša boja ovog leta?
p.s. ne mogu vam reći broj Don Juan neon laka jer nema više etikete, čak se i natpis izgulio,  ali ćete videti koliko se ova razlikuje od ostalih pink boja, i da ne zaboravim, kvalitet je odličan!

Brouwerij Dilewyns beers and Dupont's Cervesia and Biere De Beloeil arrive in U.S.



(Photo, above: Anne-Catherine Dilewyns and Vincent Dilewyns.)


Several fine Belgian brews just arrived stateside, and for the
first time.


Wendy Littlefield of Vanberg & Dewulf Importers informed
me yesterday that the first kegs of Vicaris Generaal and
Vicardin Tripel Gueuze have arrived in the U.S.






These beers were brewed at the new Dilewyns brewery in
Dendermonde, East Flanders. I plan to visit during my next trip
to Belgium.


The Tripel Gueuze is a blend of Vicardin Tripel and
Girardin White label gueuze. It is a very pleasant mildly
sour beer of 7 % abv. Yum!




(Photo, above: Dupont brewmaster Olivier Dedeycker with
Cervesia, aka Posca Rustica stateside.)


Also in the house: Dupont's superb gruut beer, Cervesia.
It is renamed as Posca Rustica for the U.S. market.


Dupont's Bière de Belœil also makes it first appearance
on this side of the pond.




Anyone else getting thirsty for a Belgian beer now???


I know I am!
