Posh Underground

You wouldn't believe what was my inspiration for this outfit. Ok, fine...I'll tell you guys if you insist so much! It was John Lennon, well actually it was his song "Imagine". My whole Saturday morning has that hippy vibe and seeing Yoko Ono in his video just gave me an inspiration for this outfit. Seeing her looking all innocent in a long white dress with a headband in her hair made me feel wanting to be that pure, innocent. 

I'm far away from being pure. We could say I'm a total opposite from that. It's not that I want or try to be a badass person, that's just the way I am. And once you accept yourself just the way you are, I swear on Marc Jacobs (there's no stronger oath) you feel much better and mostly more satisfied with yourself. And I love being myself, but it's fun feeling all innocent for a day even though inside you could easily punch someone in the face if that was necessary. You're probably wondering now if I've ever punched someone in the face, right? No, I haven't and hopefully I never had to because that's pretty primitive! But...I have slaped someone who annoyed me too freaking much, so sure as hell I can surprise you! Well it's pretty possible that if I'm ever faced in a fight I'd probably punch someone, but then run like a gazelle far away from there. I like bad stuff, but bad until you're not hurting someone or destroying things. After all, you have absolutely no right to hurt someone without no reason. I was in a position where some did something bad to me many times, and I was all about "bitch I'm going to ruin your life", but then you grow up or I don't know, maybe just realize that in that case you're even worse than that person. So now, I just say what I think and let the karma do the rest - it's more bitchy than me, anyway. 

Isn't it funny how just an outfit can make you feel different? I always thought it's all about clothes, you know...dress. But I was wrong. Sometimes it's not even the dress, it's just that small accessory that gives an outfit completely new look! Like in my case: I could wear this cute white dress, but then again I could have different shoes and it would look completely different. And not to mention this flower crown me best friend Simon made my last summer. Btw guys, do you remember those Chic.si shoes? They're so easy to wear, If you have chance you should definitely get your own pair! Don't forget to use POSH13 code and get 13% off!

Beside shopping and those stuff we finally opened a season of hanging in the parks and streets again. I've been missing  this street life since the last summer and I'm completely satisfied now. What is better than having a day off and randomly hanging out somewhere in a street or in a park, in a good company, having at least one friend who luckily plays a guitar (I'm also working on that), drinking RedBull ( you all know by now that that is my favourite drink for the last 4 years, I believe) or Monster energy, eating yummy snacks, talking, singing and doing your things? You can hardly beat that! There's just one thing on my wish list that is keeping me away from perfection - long board! Gosh, I wish I could have one. How cool would that be? Do you guys skate or long board? 

I spotted myself this time in Story magazine! 

It was actually so random! I was doing some grocery shopping when I decided to take a peek in Story. The cover of the magazine cut my attention as it was showing my two ex school mates, so I took the magazine to check it out and like I'd knew I automatically went to see the last part where they always cover interesting things from events and parties and there was ME! I was there, looking right back at ya guys in my Eric Matyash gown! Who ever choose me as one of the outfits that cut the attention - thank you so much! This really made my day today. And honestly, I'm super grateful! And not that I bough just one copy - I bough four copies, you know, just in case I lost one, or two. Or there's fire someday and everything burned so I'd have some chances to keep at least one. Anyway thanks for featuring me! What can I say, now I have to buy at least every now and then some issue. You never know - maybe I spot myself again?

March was pretty calm. Days were starting to be longer and mostly warmer and I was still fighting a bit my depression from London. What can I say - My heart aches for London and I want to come home again. It was also I time I started to figure out things I didn't know I feel. Mostly unknown feelings I though I don't have. And then I just sat there and waited...and waited...and waited. Just waited for something to happened that never happened - and that's kind of sad. Days where getting by and there was almost April and I was still waiting. Every rain was reminding me of - let's say that something, because it's falling hard, and I was too. But then my time arrived and the Philips Fashion Week was just around the corner and I could swear I knew it's bringing me some changes. Good changes. And it was. My life basically turned up and down. First thing that I'm grateful is that I was able to be a part of Philips Fashion Week. Honestly, there are no words how can describe how much I'm enjoying being a part of that. It made me really really happy. And it also opened me new ways and brought me a few new co-operations, and one big which is giving me a chance to do something I wanted my whole life and giving me a chance to be creative as much as I can be. April also brings me quite a few new friendships. I have to mention one of course and that's with Rok Terkaj. I still can't believe how opened, smart and fun to be around is that guy. And thanks for letting me crash there every now and then when I'm too damn lazy to go home. Friendship with him has also brought me to his guys who are also super nice and creative and I really think we got a bond there.  And there is also a big thing that April brought me back some people I let go few months ago. And I'm happy about that too. Sometimes you don't even know how much you actually miss someone until you see them and they wake up those feeling inside you.

But through all that journey which has been sad, depressed, happy, excited  I had my friends always by my side. I'll never forget the night which was really tough and emotional for me. Pardon my language, but I was really fucked up and my friends got together and made me a pizza and brought me Vodka. Two of my favourite things with my favourite people. How could you be sad then? No freaking way! So thanks to my friends who are always by my side and you guys to stick and keeping up with me. Knowing you like what I like and coming back on my blog is making me really, really happy. Now it's your turn, lovelies! How was you March or April? Any sad moments?  Oh, and you can't also follow me on Instagram if you want - @selmaspendl

 I always wanted to be known, well I wanted my work to be known, so one day when I'm gone someone would know I was once there, doing something good and mostly left something good behind me. Knowing that someone actually likes what I do is definitely one of my favourite things in the world! But I've never really though about bad things that come along that. So now I'm starting to realize that the more known you get, there will be more people who are going to talk bullshit about you, trying to copy you, hate you for absolutely no reason, trying to bring you down in any possible way, but you can't let that get in your way. I believe it was a second day of Philips Fashion Week when I read somewhere on web the very first stupid thing about me and I swear I needed like a whole hour to come back to myself. I was like: why would you even say something like that? Who cares! Everything has a good and the bad side after all. I learned it now that you have to just laugh at those silly things about yourself. After all you know what's true and the people you care about and that's important to you probably too. So the next time I spot a silly comment about me and my dress I've been wearing for the last day and I'll just laugh. You know what they say, after all: Haters don't really hate you, they hate themselves cause you're a reflection of what they wish to be. 

If I hate something, that's stupid people and copy cats who apparently have no personallity and try to be something they are not, which is very sad. Beside that I have a rule to really try from day to day to be a better person than I was the day before. And by trying to be different than the rest of the people is bringing one of my favourites Buddha quotes/rules; "Speak well of others, not of their faults". Yes, Buddha knows best. 

How freaking awesome is having back those warm and sunny days? I feel much happier with no reason now when I can wake up to a beautiful sunny day and hang with my guys in the streets and parks! Yes, we could say I'm in a pursuit of happiness and I'm enjoying every moment of it. I just wish I could spend more time outside, doing silly things in a good company while I'm working inside in front of my computer. But it's fine, I'm also enjoying every minute of working on this project and I wouldn't change that for nothing. Beside that I'm just loving my life right now. I'm having one of those moments when everything in your life is pretty much like it should be. And I'm so grateful that I had a chance to meet some amazing new people who are so creative that just being surrounded by them makes me creative and wanting do to something from my life. They're seriously such an inspiration for me. Watching them working pretty much all day with a big smile on their face and loving every second of it, makes you wanting to be like them. And when we work together it's always super fun. It's actually like we are hanging out/chilling, it's always music in the back, we're doing our thing but we constantly do what we have to do, talking with each others in hope to come up with some good idea, having spontaneous brain stormings, and if we end up with work in morning hours we crash on the couch and sleep there. So, I'm definitely in a good place, right now. I just can't help my self and change my working habits. I don't know why is that but honestly I'm working much easier in the night time ( from midnight on...), and to be honest, I also like it much more that way. Working that late and sleeping mostly for 4-5 hours a day made me need coffee only on days that end with a letter "Y". But I like coffee so that's completely fine by me, too.

       How are you guys? Enjoying the spring finally? 

Here I am again...wearing  Elizabeth Mad design!
I couldn't resist wearing this cool blazer from her new collection we saw on Philips Fashion Week. At the first sight it maybe even looks hard to wear, right? In that case - look and think again! You can actually wear this lovely, but still edgy blazer whenever and however you want. Somewhere fancy, school, street (like me) or just as something between all this - and that's exactly why I like it so much! Well, and because of the patterns. It all about how you combine it.  Put the fun in dysfunctional, let your imagination do that part and voilà! 

Yesterday was such a beautiful and mostly sunny day in the city again. Wait, did I mention sunny? When it's sunny and pretty warm outside I can't help myself but go out and just enjoy the day! Since I'm working really hard last week I'm unfortunately staying inside in front of my computer with a big cup of coffee (thanks Kaldi who discovered coffee while searching for his goats! You saved my life, man!) in front of me and a sad look through the window with my mind on Coachella festival, which has started three days ago! Can you imagine being there, wearing something totally hipster, sitting on a grass in a good company, sipping your drink and later enjoying in the concerts (ha, that actually sounds totally like our days and nights back in Trnfest festival time)? Speaking about concerts....guess who's having one today? Red Hot Chili Peppers! Life really isn't fair sometimes, ha? But than again if you look from the other side - you can't have it all, right? Anyway, in an hour I'm working as a stylist on a photo-shooting, so I'll have a busy day again. I keep talking about being busy like it's a bad thing but the truth is - I really like it that way. And I'm more than grateful for any opportunity I get. If you want to keep up with me lovelies, you can also follow me on Instagram - @selmaspendl. I wish you all an amazing sunny Sunday:)

Just a quick outfits recap from Philips Fashion Week, before I post my favourite "things" seen on runway! 

 First outfit was combination of my clothes (I've made bandage leggings by myself), for the second outfit I was wearing lovely Elizabeth Mad's dress, which I combine with my leather shorts. And then for the last day this edgy princess likes Eric Matyash dress! I definitely had so much fun wearing all three outfits. Every outfit made me feel different - and that's the whole point, isn't it?  And I swear my outfits would never look the same without Dalia Divovic make up. Her make up gave my outfit that final touch and I just adore it! Yes, I liked it, but the question is...did you? Which one is your favourite? Let me know, I'd love to know that, guys.

Now when it's all said and done (I mean with fashion week) I got sick. I was too much under pressure, because I'm working on a few different things in the moment and sleeping just for a few hours per day. But that's fine because this secret project that I'm working with someone we all know very well  is way more important to me right now. I'm so excited about this opportunity, I'm giving me whole to it! Can't wait to share the exciting news with you! How have you been, guys? Is everything well? Just let me know if I have to beat someone:P 

Lost your breath? I know, I was there too.

Actually I'm still breathless every time I see this picture. No, wait...scratch that! I'm breathless every time I see this dress, not the picture. But I also look quite "wow" in this dress, right? 

I was so happy that I had a chance to wear this Eric Matyash dress for one night, because until last night I didn't know you can really feel like a princess in a particular dress. And since you all know very well by know I'm all about edgy stuff, I felt like my version of princess - Edgy Princess! And I don't mean by "princess" when you put on some cute dress and you're like "ooh, I look like princess". No. I didn't know this feeling before. It's the dress, it gives you something more - power, confidence, happiness, that special look, worshiped and much more. I'd love to tell you guys how it feels, but it's so magic that there are no words to explain that. I've put this dress on and I felt like a completely different person, like I can do anything I want! Oh, gosh...I really fell in love with this dress, ha?  Last night when I got back home I was standing in front of a mirror for maybe 10 minutes watching myself in this dress, because I didn't want to sit down in it and I didn't want to take it off yet. Well, and because it was great seeing myself looking that good, of course. It even crossed my mind that I could sleep in it (luckily I have big bed), so I could wear it a bit more. For safety reasons I unfortunately abandoned the idea! Eric Maj Potočnik & Matjaž Plošinjak thanks so much again for making me a princess for night. There are no words to thank you enough.

Best for the last, or how do they say? I feel so bummer it's already over  Philips Fashion Week. After all, I was living my dreams those three days. And last night was super fun. I'm a bit disappointed about designers this year, because there was no single dress that would blow me away. Don't get me wrong, they all did a great job and it's obvious they worked hard for their collection, but honestly...there was no surplus. But I loved organization this year. Avi agency did a really good job. Everything went smooth and I think everyone was pretty much happy about this year organization. I also gave quite a few statements to the press and was published on many websites (Elle,  Žurnal 24, Slovenske Novice, Mediaspeed, etc - I'll post links later) and I'm really happy that I was noticed. Thanks to my team - Dalia Divovic , my make up artist who was making me beautiful from day to day even through she got sick (outfits would never look the same without your make up, darling) and Blaž Kupljenik for taking a photos of me and the fashion show. He's such a talent! Not that I'm saying this because he was nice and worked for me, but honestly he took better pictures than some "pro" photographers who work for big media houses. And big thanks to Avi agency for having me, again. You made my dream come true.

Last night was real fun! After fashion shows I ran into my friend Rok Terkaj - Trkaj, as this Slovenian raper is known. Ok, I'll be honest, as "the best" Slovenian raper. Being around him is always different and fun. We were foolin' around a bit as you can see and snap a few pictures and had a little chit-chat later with also a very lovely and mostly eloquent lady Manja Plešnar. Damn, that girl is fun to be around! For more pictures check out my Instagram, where you can also follow me, if you like - @selmaspendl.

In the morning everything seemed pretty normal. Oh, since I'm a bit different let me first explain what I mean by "normal". Clothes were hanging everywhere! In those three days I changed our whole apartment to some kind of a big fitting room/place. You can find clothes hanging in the hall, shoes are everywhere, purses are everywhere, and not to mention my room! I'm not saying it's messy (ok let's be honest, it is a little bit), I just turned out casual apartment into fashion apartment. So first thing that went wrong is that I should give you guys one more post yesterday about the designers we saw on first day, but I just couldn't find time, so I decided to make a recap tomorrow and post just my favourite outfits from all three days. Is that ok?  Then Eric Maj Potočnik and Matjaž Plošinjak came over to my place to make dress fitting for me. I'm in love with this two guys (not in love-love, but you know..."love"). I admire how they always look nothing but fashionable. And they're seriously so nice, such warm and lovely people! After fitting and little chit-chat troubles came into my little paradise I have these days. My Elizabeth Mad dress was locked in my best friend's apartment and he was out of town, so you can imagine a dose of stress I got! I didn't even know until the very last minute if I'm even gonna get it, which is also a reason why I attended only the last part of fashion shows, yesterday. The time I should already be at my gorgeous make up artist Dalia Divovic place (I could never could thank you enough for being there for me these days! She's not only doing my make up, she's helping me with my hair, she drove me to the fashion week last night, because everything was so last minute, made me a coffee which totally brings me back to life and so much more...so honestly...THANKS SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!), I was on my way to get my dress. Madness! But in the end all has ended up well, luckily. Well, more than well. I had a little meeting after the fashion shows with two famous Slovenians and we're starting a big project together. What and with whom...let's make it a secret, but you'll find out soon enough!

As I mentioned I was wearing Elizabeth Mad design for the second day of the Philips Fashion Week. She also has so many gorgeous things that was quite hard to decide for just one dress. But in the end I chose something  more simple, but still a bit edgy. I love how you think at first I'm wearing a dress, a beautiful dress and then when I turn around you get a little shock. No dress anymore. And the back of the dress is stunning, isn't it? I'll give you guys soon a sneak peek into her collection, so make sure to stay tuned! If I look back now to the last night or actually the whole day even though everything seemed so messed up in the end I can't find no better world to describe this but this one: blessed! I was really blessed.

All pictures has been taken by talented young photographer Blaž Kupljenik.

Here I am again with another announcement! I was such a lucky girl again (don't ask me how because I'm also trying to figure it out) I got in touch with two of my absolutely favourite Slovenian designers - Eric Maj Potočnik and Matjaž Plošinjak, known by their amazing fashion brand "Eric Matyash, previously known as "MEM Couture." 

I fell in love with their collection at the October Philips Fashion Week where they showed us their collection "La Metamorphose." If you like at least a little bit crazy things and like to feel special in a particular outfit, then there's no way you wouldn't adore their collection, especially the new one I mentioned before. Interesting fact about those two handsome guys:  Even though their priority focus has always been fashion design, they work as fashion stylists, costume designers and graphic designers as well. I know, you're probably thinking the very same as I was thinking when I found that out:  "No freaking way"! But it's true, and not to mention they also collaborate with various individuals and societies from the world of media, culture, music, design and economy. Hard to imagine, ha? But what I was extra surprised by and I actually kind of still am is that they were open for new, totally un-known collaboration - with me! I mean, let's be honest here. I'm no Slovenian starlet or someone super famous from media or even fashion world (yet :-) ), so they've made a really good impression by their gesture. I think it's not really necessary to mention how can a small thing for someone mean a whole world for someone else, right? So thank you so much Eric and Matjaž for making my world brighter for one day and making me feel special that day! I'm wearing their design for the last day of Philips Fashion Week and I'm already feeling a bit cocky just imagining what I'm wearing. Oh yes, what I'm a wearing? Stay tuned and you'll find out!

Thumbs up, who's excited about Philips Fashion Week?! (me, me, me, me!!!)
I was just looking at the the internet for some inspiration and I found a few "wooow" outfits, shoes, shirts and stuff that would be simply a sin if I kept those pictures just for myself. Seriously. Sometimes when I find something breath-taking or a particular outfit in which I totally see myself I become a bit moody. Why did you lady had to come up with such great outfit before me? Baaah, that's a crime! Anyway I was looking for inspiration from Vogue, Harper Bazar to Tumblr, so I don't own any of this pictures. Unfortunately. 

Besides that I'm super excited about tomorrow's fashion week! I'm so proud to see myself improving from fashion week to fashion week. For example: this year I'm having my own make-up artist for all three days, thanks to lovely and always funny Dalia Divovic, then my own photographer, who's gonna take pictures from runway to chit-chat after the shows for you guys (thanks Blaž Kupeljnik) and then I'm wearing some of our designer dresses for a few shows! Big thanks again to gorgeous Elizabeth Mad. So guys thanks so much, it wouldn't be the same without you all!

Have a nice rest of the weekend and see ya tomorrow with hot news from Philips Fashion Week!

Yesterday I tried just for fun this sexy corset I actually bought for Masquerade and I figure out that it's completely possible to wear it like that. Plus, it looks super hot! Am I right? What do you think?
