Graduations, interiours and whimsical fashion shows

It is time for diploma thesis, graduating schools and finishing work before holidays, so it is clear why there is such a gap between the updates recently...
But in the meantime, Mackus sisterz managed to make an interiour for recycled fashion show.

Feedback from the show was great, and the interior has been noted as a particularly successful.

See pictures and read a charming review

Mackus sisterz in da club

The meeting has been a great success with a bit of opera singing and pseudo-flamenco dancing 
involved. As a result shmotique has new members- the Mackus sisterz- Liene  & Maija. 
(Link to their blog or web-page will be added as soon as possible.)
Now I am proud to introduce You to the Mackus sisters latest masterpiece, videoclip for latvian band VERY COOL PEOPLE


Kashadura

Come together, right now!

This is a grand day indeed, because shmotique girls will have a meeting.
I suspect, that some fresh ones will start to feel the easy bliss! 
More girls (let's not discriminate men) and, potentially, boys; it means more fun, more action, more minds'n'hands creating and updating!
Have you noticed the new beautiful heading!? 
(Thanks to Petra Petileta.)
 I hope, that this is is only the begining of great improvement!

skiaway bride

Girl who always acts, even if it is winter and everything is covered with snow and even she is a fiancée.
With a laugh she inspired me to write this verse:

"She never dreams- she acts.

Likes dotted cows and black cats.

I was the girl who catcht her flower bunch,

 Therafter drank lot of cherry punch."

  

sincerely yours,

Lady From Amica magazine

Amica Lady

When I was a little girl , my mom had an italian partner. She used to visit him in his country as often as she could. She was bringing an italian ladie's top magazine "Amica" for me. 80's and early 90's , was a romantic period for me, in my girlish way. Magazine was fool of fascinating fashion, advices, cosmetics and so on. It was so "Ideal" for me. I wanted to grow up as one of these presented Amica women. When I saw this dress in combination with shoes it switched me into this memory.

Artist Petra Petileta about the chosen shmotique outfit.

Black moon around the world

Punky Opera dress

The dress is from Marceille, it's lable says "Opera" and it is from gentle black velvet. Sleeves are thorn off - the previos owner is a theatre director punk lady (now living in London).











Shoes that make you go to Israel.

The previous owner left theese expressive shoes in Latvia, to spend winter at the hot Israel. To some people they seemed SO crazy, that didn't even believed, that they could match with anything. At the end, I think that they look really cool in this witch- bitch outfit. The metal bling-blings make them even more gothic.













Magic hat, that takes you to Rome.

This hat is bought in Rome and
it's previous owner called it "The hat, that I wear only in Rome." I guess she's not returning. Although, I have never heard about a way that doesn't lead to Rome...

Things that keep me warm this winter

Two of the things that keep me happy in this harsh Nordic winter (- 20 C today here in Latvia!!!) are:

1. Sea-buckthorn jelly that is packed with antioxidants, flavonoids and vitamin C, tastes like a pineapple and orange together (and even better!) and has a beautiful golden color like the sun.

2. Padded underpants which I dare to pronounce the best invention for Nordic women. The secret is quite simple - they keep your butt big (and big is sexy), warm and happy!


Yours warmly (literary)
