It is directed at young females, and covers different topics such as new media, feminism, fashion, beauty, health, gadgets & tech, travel etc. Below you will find two entries written by me for the beauty and fashion section.</span><br />

It is in November that we experience the downsides of setting back the time. It can be so hard to adjust to setting our clocks back one hour, especially in the morning. An hour can do so much to your mood. To be stressed, depressed, demotivated or colourless does nothing for your beauty and well being. Beauty is not only about various products, which aim to reduce impurities, minimise signs of aging or to provide moisture or something else.

Audrey Hepburn’s name has ever since been synonymous with her iconic portrayal of Holly Golightly, the New York socialite who is always sophisticatedly dressed and quirky in the company of others. When alone, however, she swiftly changes mood. In the confines of her apartment, we meet a young woman suffering from neurotic tendencies where the art of dressing sophisticatedly is what drags her out of bed to tend to her duties. In a scene with the leading male character, Paul Varjak, as portrayed by George Peppard, she is frantically talking and looking for her stuff. When her shoes are found she utters in stress, “dress, dress” as she retrieves a little black dress from her closet....</i> <a href="http://www.witandfancy.com/2011/10/12/style-on-film-breakfast-at-tiffany%E2%80%99s/"><b>Read more here</b></a><b>.</b></span></span><br />

I never really got into the storylines, and never really grasped what it was about, but I always found Michelle Williams beautiful. And her beauty has only been magnified.<br />
<br />
In my preteen years my TV was my source for everything, for my learning English, for shaping my views on things etc. It didn't shock anybody (teachers, family, friends) when I told a playmate, when I was 8, that I couldn't play with her today over the phone, due to the fact that <i>Th</i><i>e Bold and the Beautiful</i> was about to air. I watched <i>The</i><i> Bold and the Beautiful</i> religiously for a period of time, and albeit the fact that it was weird for an 8-year-old, I was allowed to watch it. And I am glad I was. It wasn't the prototypical show for girls my age, however, it taught me a lot of things about beauty. Ever since, beauty to me has been developing gradually, changing its form and becoming more complex. Beauty can easily be viewed prosaically, we are constantly stimulated by adds with beautiful people, beautiful photoshopped people, advertising for whatever company, and these adds are viewed upon prosaically. Always so literal.<br />
<br />
Beauty to me is many things. An item of clothing; the silky chic french blouse in stripes that you must own, a big tree that has been living a long life, people who carries themselves so gracefully, my friends whose style resembles their personalities... I can go on. There are so many beautiful things and people. However, most of the time beauty, to me, is something you experience. It is easy to label things beautiful, but beauty is something that you can experience when you, for instance, buy a beautiful dress. In an instance, "you almost fall in beauty" with said item, but it is not fixed. You can grow to find the dress ugly and not your taste.<br />
<br />
This beautiful Hobo Magazine cover featuring cover girl Michelle Williams triggered these thoughts on beauty, so I have to share. I found Michelle Williams beautiful as I watched her on Dawson's Creek, and in an instant I am reminded of the experience of seeing her on TV when I saw this cover. She is still very beautiful. <br />
<br />
Please share your notions on beauty.<br />

It was like we were on TV and some viewer had activated the mute and we were turned of. Silence. </span><br />

As I have mentioned <a href="http://medineloves.blogspot.com/2011/08/art-says-hi-to-fashion-fashion-greets.html">before</a>, I find it so refreshing when fashion and art meets. It is as if the designer manages to find the diamonds in the rough in paintings and works by artists, and translates this into fashion. The painting that Dana Lorenz refers to is vibrant in pastel tones. It seems as if Lorenz has used the yellow and orange colour as source of inspiration for her Spring 2012 collection. I definitely think that her jewellery will complement the minimalism and colour block trends that seems to be dominating the runways.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;">Evren Tekinoktay is the artist behind these beautiful, feminine, collages in beautiful purple tones. These collages are from her exhibition <i><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_861854229">U</a></i><a href="http://imo-projects.com/index.php?/exhibitions/u/"> (2011)</a>. Layers upon layers, almost like a never ending story. Think of her collages as an orange, you keep peeling, never quite reaching the fruit, but keep going. </span><br />

Anyway, the entries are not frequent, but since summer has graced us with its face here in Denmark, I thought I would share some of my summer notes with you.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/TDEghYVd0AI/AAAAAAAAAv8/oXjY4BQIh18/s1600/3_22_10_MaleneB25608.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/TDEghYVd0AI/AAAAAAAAAv8/oXjY4BQIh18/s640/3_22_10_MaleneB25608.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>The home of carpet designer, Malene Barnett by </i><a href="http://theselby.com/"><i>The Selby</i></a><i>.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1. It is very healthy to keep your alarm clock in the shadows during summer. Get used to go bed early so that your body can get the 8-9 hours of sleep it needs and let it wake up with the sun. This can be the start of a good day - to feel rested and ready to embrace the day. And to feel rested is to feel healthy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/TDEnRY45zEI/AAAAAAAAAwE/Wl3URSzIPU4/s1600/BonjourTristesse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/TDEnRY45zEI/AAAAAAAAAwE/Wl3URSzIPU4/s320/BonjourTristesse.jpg" width="216" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/TDEnTPsWe2I/AAAAAAAAAwM/dlaj1DDfgiE/s1600/l_def467df1c7b4709aff45774f17ae8e5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/TDEnTPsWe2I/AAAAAAAAAwM/dlaj1DDfgiE/s320/l_def467df1c7b4709aff45774f17ae8e5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2. Even though the title says,<i> 'Hello Sadness'</i>, this little novella by Francoise Sagan is a perfect read during summer. The novella is about a girl, Cécile, who is leading a jaded life with her father, but one change to their frivolous life makes Cecile think differently, and it has consequences. She seeks comfort in the sea and in the sun, and it is written beautifully. And a little side note, the author wrote this when she was 18!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3. A cd that rests by my laptop is <i>"Fall Down</i>" by CallmeKat. Katrine Ottosen - the lady behind the tunes - has a playful voice, which is conveyed in her cover of Britney's hit "Toxic". Her music is electric, original and alluring. A perfect blend, if you ask me!</div><br />4. Go for a run now and then!

So many things have happened this week, good and bad, but all in a blur. I have been catching up with friends, had my final oral examination of my second semester at uni, worked and helped adding the final touches to my parents and uncle's restaurant, worked, started a new volunteer job, bought pretty striped and dotted blouses etc. Those were the pros. Now to the cons... everything has happened so fast, I forgot to bask, it is almost as if I have an indistinct memory of this week and the week has not even come to an end, yet! lol.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>Medine Duvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10585329498784830901noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661699780578925161.post-40675514371646021382010-06-12T22:19:00.000+02:002012-10-03T15:09:02.859+02:00LEAVES<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/TBU8JI8XmBI/AAAAAAAAAuU/ZjG8tFapvZ8/s1600/leaf-pola.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/TBU8JI8XmBI/AAAAAAAAAuU/ZjG8tFapvZ8/s640/leaf-pola.jpg" width="523" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/TBU8LRo4jvI/AAAAAAAAAuc/GtABOD-JvnI/s1600/leaf2-pola.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/TBU8LRo4jvI/AAAAAAAAAuc/GtABOD-JvnI/s640/leaf2-pola.jpg" width="521" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Leaf necklace from ASOS.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Medine Duvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10585329498784830901noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661699780578925161.post-50202196222095245172010-06-11T17:16:00.000+02:002012-10-03T15:09:02.864+02:00DRIVES ALL THE GIRLS CRAZY<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/TBJTAb6y55I/AAAAAAAAAt0/c6ywgSPu_rM/s1600/yasmin2weblargeen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/TBJTAb6y55I/AAAAAAAAAt0/c6ywgSPu_rM/s640/yasmin2weblargeen.jpg" width="444" /></a></div><br />As mentioned, I love reading stories about <i>her</i>. I just read about Yasmin Sewell. She is known for her signature hair-cut "that drives all the girls crazy." Count me as one of those girls! My hair has grown out, the tips are death, and not even my Paul Mitchell tea tree shampoo can work wonders on it anymore. I have this tradition, that by the end of June I fix my bangs, cut my hair to shoulder length, but I am considering just fixing my bangs and tips - perhaps colour the tips a vibrant colour in contrast to my dark brown hair. Or I can say au revoir to my tradition and get a Yasmin cut, no?<br /><br />And look out for my <b><i><a href="http://medineamory.blogspot.com/2010/06/her-story.html">Her Story</a></i></b> section.<br /><br /><br />Photo from Garance Doré.Medine Duvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10585329498784830901noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661699780578925161.post-70098371337030313942010-06-10T23:09:00.000+02:002012-10-03T15:09:02.868+02:00LAMP + LIGHT<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

My style fluctuates: it's whimsical and feminine. When I was little, I was a really girly girl who didn't like to wear trousers. I just wore party dresses all the time with patent-leather shoes.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> 2)</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> At school the kids wore hippy dresses from thrift stores, and people made their own clothes. I've always enjoyed wearing old-fashioned clothes. I try to do a bit of research before I travel so I know where to uncover vintage finds.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> 3)</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Know what suits you. Now I understand proportion and recognise the shapes that look good on my figure. I try to stick to classic pieces.

I do this because I love to act. All that other stuff may be glamorous, but glamour, by definition, is all just a circus.</span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></b><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">5)</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> You don't have to wear expensive clothes to look good.

I think my jewellery posts speak for themselves. I must honestly admit, that I have never been one to wear jewellery. Just a year ago, my mother took me and my sisters into a jewellery shop in Turkey and I just wasn't interested. I ended up buying a really simple gold ring - the cheapest in the store. However, my heart for jewellery is, as of now, a rapid growing plant.<br /><br />I just stumbled upon pieces by jewellery designer Tamila Purvis (via garance doré). Not only are they statement jewellery, they come with stories. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B78qjsFfI/AAAAAAAAAos/PomViYRQxHM/s1600/tamila-purvis.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B78qjsFfI/AAAAAAAAAos/PomViYRQxHM/s640/tamila-purvis.jpg" width="454" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B79DnSDlI/AAAAAAAAAo0/9pGV7MUStMs/s1600/tamila3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B79DnSDlI/AAAAAAAAAo0/9pGV7MUStMs/s1600/tamila3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="454" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B79DnSDlI/AAAAAAAAAo0/9pGV7MUStMs/s640/tamila3.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B7_MAzxqI/AAAAAAAAAo8/NurM5hvvY6A/s1600/tamila6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B7_MAzxqI/AAAAAAAAAo8/NurM5hvvY6A/s640/tamila6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B8d847v8I/AAAAAAAAApc/YkKt-2tK08A/s1600/THE_IMMORTALS_ring.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B8d847v8I/AAAAAAAAApc/YkKt-2tK08A/s640/THE_IMMORTALS_ring.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B8ad7OTlI/AAAAAAAAApM/HX7NXq_PKDY/s1600/ELEMENT_cuff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B8ad7OTlI/AAAAAAAAApM/HX7NXq_PKDY/s640/ELEMENT_cuff.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B9PcMUY9I/AAAAAAAAAps/-hY0XoT-vUI/s1600/THE_TRUTH_earrings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B9PcMUY9I/AAAAAAAAAps/-hY0XoT-vUI/s640/THE_TRUTH_earrings.jpg" width="370" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B8ad7OTlI/AAAAAAAAApM/HX7NXq_PKDY/s1600/ELEMENT_cuff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B8fl9FvLI/AAAAAAAAApk/v3kd0N3FLxM/s1600/THE_INITIATION_necklace.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B8fl9FvLI/AAAAAAAAApk/v3kd0N3FLxM/s640/THE_INITIATION_necklace.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://maniamania.bigcartel.com/product/immortals-ring">Immortals ring</a> / <a href="http://maniamania.bigcartel.com/product/element-cuff">element cuff</a> / <a href="http://maniamania.bigcartel.com/product/the-truth-earrings">the truth earrings</a> / <a href="http://maniamania.bigcartel.com/product/the-intitiation-necklace">the initiation necklace</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B7hKdZoRI/AAAAAAAAAok/9XS6Yq2-_-Y/s1600/tamila7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="474" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uky9AseQY5o/S-B7hKdZoRI/AAAAAAAAAok/9XS6Yq2-_-Y/s640/tamila7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The words that inspired this beautiful and intriguing collection.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Tamila Purvis pictures from </span><a href="http://www.garancedore.fr/en/2010/05/02/tamila-cree-des-bijoux/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Garance Doré</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">.</span>Medine Duvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10585329498784830901noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661699780578925161.post-72668722712705898032010-04-30T13:35:00.000+02:002012-10-03T15:09:02.934+02:00LESS IS MORE PT.

The colour palette they have made use of is uplifting. Perfect for the summer! These pictures are from their summer/spring '10 lookbook, which you can find <a href="http://www.am-vintage.com/">here</a>.<br /><br>Medine Duvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10585329498784830901noreply@blogger.com5
