Irish dances

Today I went to see a friend of mine performing a dance on behalf of her college and after her moment I saw some Irish dancers doing their thing.I liked the dance so much(especially the way they were jumping so high above the floor and the skinny legs of the girls) that as soon as I arrived home I searched some informations about them so I wanted to share with you.







Irish dance is a group of traditional dance forms originating in Ireland which can be divided into social dances and performance dances .Irish social dances can be divided further into céilí and set dancing. Irish set dances are quadrilles danced by 4 couples arranged in a square, while céilí dances are danced by varied formations of couples of 2 to 16 people.

Today ornamentation is used on girls dresses, including lace, sequins, silk, extensive embroidery, feathers, fur and more. Irish Dancing schools have school dresses, which are worn by "Beginner" through "Novice" dancers. When dancers reach a level decided by their school, may get a solo dress of their own design and colors.

There are two types of shoes: the first is the soft shoe, otherwise known as ghillies, and hard shoes for the heavy dances, such as horn pipe.The hard shoe is similar to tap shoes, except that the tips and heels are made of fiberglass, instead of metal, and are significantly bulkier. The hard shoes were originally made of wood in the 19th century and early 20th century. The first hard shoes had wooden or leather taps with metal nails. Later the taps and heels were changed into resin or fiberglass to reduce the weight and to increase the footwork sounds.

Mila Kunis in march GQ

All beautiful women don't look like everyone else,each of them has their unique style and beauty,something that makes them special.In my opinion,beauty is relative,because it depends on the tastes of people.Different persons may like or dislike certain people.Everybody has a specific type in mind when it comes to these things,for example some men like blondes with blue eyes or redheads with green eyes.Well,I go for the timeless beauty,the ones that look good even without make-up on,with a retro twist.I like her big eyes(they are so expressive) and brown hair.

Ring watches

Today when I was coming home from school I saw for the first time a woman wearing this type of ring and I was so amazed by it.In my opinion,those watches are so creative and practical,it's like two items are converted in one,in a very beautiful way.With the first chance I get,I will buy me a ring like these ones.And,after all,who says that watches can only be worn only as a bracelets,they look nice as necklaces and rings too,don't you think?

Here are some watches that resemble with those ancient poison ones,the difference is that when you lift the top up instead of poison you find a watch.

The Venice Carnival

The Venice Carnival is the largest and most important Venetian festival,an event where art is present in its numerous forms like music,theater,dances and history.The Carnival has very old origins,since 1926(with an interruption lasting two centuries) and it takes place every year in February,celebrating the passage from winter to spring(my favorite season).The most important thing that has drawn my attention is the way that people wear beautiful costumes and masks.Following this idea I picked some photos with these precious Venetian masks.

Favourite item of the week:Bunny ears

While I was talking with Nookie about headbands,I remembered about bunny ears.In the past,for me,when somebody said "bunny ears" my thoughts linked to playmates,so they didn't created interest so much.But now,I would be so happy if I will see someone on the street wearing these.

Simply adore him.

Also I want to wish you Happy Easter!May this holiday bring better times for everybody!
