Invitation to spring inspiration

Month number 12, Task 1

Svi spominju proleće, bilo u kontekstu nečega što su napokon dočekali, bilo da je to nešto o čemu još uvek samo sanjaju. U svakom slučaju, proleće pristiže, i polako nam osvaja nozdrve, oči, dušu i emocije. Prošli mesec ste mi proleće predložili i kao temu meseca, pa eto, iz vaših usta u moju glavu :)

U ovom postu ću se baviti inspiracijom koju proleće tako nesebično pokreće u nama.

Ležanje u travi... Uživanje u prirodi... Piknik...

//////////////

Everybody is mentioning spring, whether in context of something that they`ve finally awaited for, or of something that they still are dreaming about. Either way, the spring is slowly approaching, and slowly it`s getting into our nostrils, our eyes, soul and emotions. Last month you suggested me spring as the topic of the month also, so, "from your mouth to my mind and head" :)

In this post I`ll think about inspiration that spring so unselfishly starts in us.

Lying in the grass.. Enjoying in the nature... Picnic..

...uživanje u jednostavnim stvarima... //////////// ... enjoying in simple things...

.. cveće.. drveće.. cvetanje... ///// ... flowers... trees.. blooming...

... romantiku... //// romance...

..pastelne boje... vintage... lagana i raznovrsna hrana.. poezija.. lepa muzika... shabby chic.. inspirativni enterijeri...

No, valjalo bi nešto ostaviti i za neki od narednih postova :) 

Koje su vaše inspiracije vezane za proleće?

PS - Za sve vas koji još uvek niste upoznati sa sada već izmenjenim konceptom mog Project 6x6, pozivam vas da detaljnije o tome pročitate ovde.

//////////

.. pastel colours... vintage... easy and different food... poetry... good music.. shabby chic... inspirational interiors...

However, it would be good to save something for one of the next posts :)

What are your inspirations connected to spring?

PS - To the ones of you who are still not acquainted with now already changed concept of Project 6x6, I invite you to read more about it here.

Retro, Vintage, Antique..

Month number 7, Task 2

U poslednje vreme svaki dan u nekom kontekstu čujem "Ja volim vintage.. To je tako retro.. Retro je u modi a.k.a. retro, sestro"... Slušam, klimam glavom. U nekom trenutku kažem "i ja", jer sam razumela šta je vintage, a šta je retro. Posle čujem te iste reči u drugom kontekstu, i zapitam se da li ja stvarno razumem te pojmove. I da li ih većina ljudi razume? Ili ih samo koriste u svom rečniku, da bi bili IN?

U svakom slučaju, odlučujem da pročešljam po Internetu i dođem do nekih zaključaka. Za vas koji želite da ovo pročitate do kraja i saznate ili proverite da li sam dobro razumela, evo šta zaključih:

Antique - je sve što se odnosi na period pre 1920. godine. U široj definiciji, to je sve što je više od 100 godina staro, što mu dođe skoro na isto. Inače bih volela da živim u tom periodu, ali jedino kad bih imala vremensku mašinu. Ta moda i dizajn nisu nešto što bih u bilo kojoj sferi danas iskoristila.

Vintage - je ono što se odnosi na period od 1920. do 1960. godine. Ovo je Wiki definicija, koje je po meni stroga, pa se odlučih za definiciju koja u vintage uključuje i sedamdesete i osamdesete.Vintage je trenutno najpopularniji termin u modi i tu se ovaj termin pre svega odnosi na second hand odevne predmete, ali i na nove koji su sa etiketom opstali još iz onog vremena (deadstock ili NOS-new old stock). I pošto svako i dalje dodaje svoje značenje ovom pojmu, vintage može biti i nešto industrijski ili handmade proizvedeno u našem dobu, ali po uzoru na gore spomenute dekade.

Retro - je neka moda, stil, trend koji su popularni danas, a odnose se na stil koji je bio popularan pre npr. 15-20 godina.

Ukratko, po meni:

Antique - je nešto jaaaako staro, i ne baš primenljivo (osim za maštanje o životu u to vreme).

Vintage - je nešto baš reprezentativno za određeno doba u prošlosti, privlačno i primenljivo u sadašnjosti.

Retro - je nešto iz prošlosti u kojoj smo i živeli, i za koju nas vežu nostalgija i sentimentalnost.

Šta vi mislite?

Lately, every day I can hear "I love vintage... It`s si retro... Retro is always IN.. etc". I listen, nod my head. Sometimes I say "me too", because I understood what vintage is, and what retro is. Afterwards, I hear it in some other context, and I wonder "do I really understand these terms?". And do most of the people understand them? Or are they just using them, so that they could be IN?

Anyway, my exploring mind immediately led me to search the Web and I came to some conclusions. For those of you who will read this to find out or to check me, this is what I have found out:

Antique - everything that relates to the period before 1920s. In wider definiton, antique is everything 100 and more years old. I would like to live in that era, if only I had a time machine. However, that fashion and design are not something I would use in today`s time.

Vintage - relates to period between 1920s and 1960s. This is Wiki definiton, strict in my opinion, so I decided to take the definition that inlcudes the 70s and the 80s also. Vintage is very popular in fashion at the moment and there it relates to everything that is second hand, but also to new items with labels (from deadstock or NOS - new old stock). And since everybody is adding something to this term, vintage can relate to something  manufactured and handmade in our time, but inspired by above mentioned decades.

Retro - is fashion, style, trend which is popular today, but relates to the style that was popular eg. 15-20 years ago.

In short, for me:

Antique - is something very, very old, and not usable in today`s time (except for dreaming about life in that time).

Vintage - is something really representative for a certain decade in past, very attractive and usable in the present.

Retro - is something from the past in which we have lived, and for which we are nostalgic and sentimental.

What do you think?

Pa kada sam sad sve to razdvojila, povezala, definisala, evo šta je meni retro i vintage....

Oličenje vintage pojma mi je Dita von Teese:

So now, when I have separated, joined, defined everything, here`s what`s vintage and retro for me...

Representation of vintage for me is definitely Dita von Teese:

Vintage su pin-up devojke (za više videti ovde):  ////////////  Vintage are pin-up girls (for more see here):

Vintage je diiivan blog A beautfiul mess. ////////////// Vintage is a wonderful blog A beautiful mess.

Vintage je i ovo: //////////////// Vintage is this:

Retro je ovo: ////////////// Retro is this:
