But no really, I am here craving the crisp autumn weather, but instead I feel like I am here lying in our garden slowly decaying.
Anyway, recently I´ve gone out with two of my favourite babushkas- James Dean and Ann (omg I need to think of some cool nickname for you). Which was of course, amazing. We sat around and chat with Ann at my place and with Johnny I did a decadent "tour de prague" where we almost accidentally stumbled upon the most fascinating bookshop I have ever been to. Its called "Shakespeare a Synové" which is basically just our humble version of the popular Shakespeare and Co. bookshops in Paris and Berlin.
But its only shame I didnt take any photos of that magical place. But I promise, when I come back (and I will, belive me) I´ll try to document it for you.
And for the occasion I wore the outfit That I am about to show you. I was inspired by the elegant and classic nuances of the dandy movement. And it is not a coincidence that I just recently finished reading The Picture of Dorian Gray in english so I sought to find some answers and drabble in what just had seemingly ended. And for that purpose, I dived into the book I am holding on the photos.
It is by the french author Daniel Salvatore Schiffer and it is a brilliant essay on the subjet of dandysm and its leading figures throughout the years.
It is called "Le Dandysme: La Création De Soi"

You look great (and kudos for the Oscar Wilde quote) <3
ReplyDeleteI really want to go to Shakespeare and Sons now, I've never been!! And the book seems really interesting. If I wasn't a 21st century girl, I'd definitely be a 19th century dandy (dating Oscar ehhm).
thank you:)
ReplyDeleteI think that the idea of the dandy lifestyle continues into our age and right now, it could be possibly even stronger, since we live in such a unpoetic age.
But to be a 19th century dandy would be quite lovely *-*
Our meeting was brilliant! It felt so nice having a great time with you. (and I'm guessing, what nick name you will give to me :D)
ReplyDeleteyou are now a babushka. :"D
