PeSuit and Tie

       happy women's history month and one month of peSuit & tie ! i'm thankful to have started this project - it's helping me define my style a lot more, and i'm starting to connect small inspirations and influences on a weekly basis. i hope you all enjoy this as much as i do typing up every sunday night. in a way, it is my new digital diary.     i've been thinking a lot this week about this blog, virality, trends and 'instant fame'. during our outdoor walks (it was very warm at the beginning of the week so we excitedly took our neighborhood walk for the first time this year), sib and i discussed social media and my goal for this blog. i keep my social media pretty private, and i was thinking - would it be better to publicize this more? the thing is - i want to revolt against the instant fame and overnight virality, to practice patience and to use this blog not to yell at the world - hey look at me - but rather take my time and (yes, develop some ...

       my homework was due. bestie nicole asked for tiktoker  libby mae  to be mentioned in the blog. you asked so you shall receive.       the internet is dangerous, and we are such deceptive and decepted creatures. my initial reaction was: "this girl has some  kind of style" and just dismissed it as british   chavism . then sib concluded, no, this has to be a parody. which makes sense because if you scroll long enough, you'll notice the inconsistencies of some videos being very aesthetic, or videos with queer jokes, then she'll wear one of her very unique fits, and talk about her boyfriend.  as a challenge, i saves some looks i thought were very interesting to analyze, then some looks i saved in order to see how i would style them myself. nicole -  i hope you like this segment.  to clarify, libby mae does an excellent job color coordinating, and explaining why she chose whatever on earth she chose. im just rehe...

  music of the week      sib and i found some old cd's, which my aunt's husband at the time left us (back in 2011), filled with remixes, mashups, and insane dj sets and bootlegs from the european club scene of the time. think eurotrash but on poppers. as i am typing this, i am listening to a katy perry TGIF remix. this was what clubbing is supposed to sound like. my homework is to find as many of these songs on spotify (i tried to find some and this katy perry one, for example, is not found). perhaps we should bring back forgotten media like cd's vinyls, ipods etc... god, i miss my mp4... some songs i saved that i did  find on spotify were: we are the people (wawa club remix) - empire of the sun senorita - inna  miami 2 ibiza - swedish house mafia vs tinie tempah  take over control - afrojack ft eva simons letting go (dutty love) - sean kingston ft nicki minaj     speaking of media, i was shameless and shazamed songs played at vinyl vibes ...

  happy sunday! 🜲      i stuffed myself with italian food all weekend. typing from food coma at the moment. it's been getting a bit warmer lately and by warmer i mean it's not in the negatives and the snow is almost melting. my looks of the week are going full grandpa/layer style, is it laziness and i'm just stuffing shit on top of me? is it comfort? or is it just the cold? i'm a true fan of androgynous styling and often will go googly eyes for shapeless pieces, think antifashion and older margiela, ann demeulemeester, or yohji yamamoto pieces (all of these designers are on my wishlist if anyone is feeling charitable while reading...).      monday we went grocery shopping and decided maybe we'll get more running shoes because ours have been wearing out from treadmill use. so we went to ross because we've been lucky getting good quality and nice shoe brands for the fraction of the price. the shoe gods blessed us, not so much with running shoes, but wit...

   a vogue article and the superbowl inspired me to talk about when sports met fashion...     i am not at all sporty. the only sport i did was dance (if you consider that sport) in middle school. that was fashionable. we didn't have uniforms (gotta love the low budget) so instead we had a dress code and just hope we are all cohesive. i remember wearing a pink floral skirt for one performance, and another memory seared into my brain was a barbie girl  performance where i agreed to be the ken. button down shirt which i borrowed from my crush at the time and jeans, while the girls around me were as barbiefied as they could be.   sport is super important where i come from though. croatia is impressive and amazing in sports: handball, waterpolo, and of course soccer - those are just many divisions we excel. let's talk about the croatian soccer jersey. you can recognize it by the bright red and white checkers, a detail taken from our country's...

  music of the week      post superbowl, kendrick lamar's performance was definitely a music highlight this week for me. his whole performance is now on spotify. i also listened to some sza as well, also was influenced by the performance.     since my big project was making a DIY deck of tarot cards, i also felt inspired to create a ton of playlists inspired by the decks:  major arcana ,  suit of swords ,  suit of wands ,  suit of cups , and  suit of pentacles .

💟 happy sunday! 💟      i hope you guys are doing a good job of avoiding the sunday scaries, perhaps with leftover chocolate from valentine's day? or with snacks from your galentine's events and a god rom com... if none of those were in your stars this week, i hope you had a fabulous solo time treating yourself. rupaul says " if you don't love yourself, then how the hell you gonna love anybody else? "     my valentine's weekend was spent in the company of the best of both: the gals and the valentine. friday was date night with boyfriend, and he cooked us a steak dinner with veggies, then we went downtown to watch a candelight quartet play a collection of romantic movie songs, like shallow from a star is born (2018) , tons of disney princess songs, and for the end, they played my heart will go on,  spiced up with a proposal from the audience. i was smacking boyfriend on the arm while tears were flowing (because i am such a sucker for romance and i'll cry ...
