photo journal...terraneo festival 2013

days of summer were different this time... really peculiar. i was saddened more than once. i detested possessions and human’s obsession with it more than ever. i felt determined, grown up and naively juvenile at the same time. 

my june and july wouldn't be survived if it wasn’t for one blonde boy. through our coffee times i laughed like foolish kid in luna park. we invented humor that was bitter and delightful, innocent and evil. my summer, summer spent working in mine is lost but it was too kind to give a friendship to cherish for the rest of my life. misslikey was forgotten. it was work, work and sleep with some gems of laugh and wisdom that I found in between. no spare time. no muse to take me to my cloud. lost identity, I guess. after all these years of living on blogger, i really started to believe i suffer from bipolar disorder. there is always this made-up misslikey who appears to be my fantasy second half (could be entitled ego also, I suppose). when I feel like a dreamer misslikey has a wisdom. when I feel like a phantom, misslikey flirts witty with life. 

when august came, came along the freedom as well. i would love that I am relaxed type of person, but I am not. moi wanted to be a mermaid and get lost somewhere where one can bathe among the stars. misslikey, au contraire, decided to throw us in the service of cheap liquor and summer playing. therefore, we visited terraneo festival one more time. misslikey is too fond of cool cool breeze, liquor and dirty knees. my photographer was on the mission just on the first day. the next two days liquor took away my common sense and I just couldn't mislay those poetry and Père Lachaise talks because of camera and pen. it was dirty knees, chewing gums on my lingerie and dresses made of gingham and beads. we don't have photos or words to describe that. and it's misslikey's fault, not mine.

Bonjour Terraneo!

Dearest missliketes, since the summer and beloved August are reserved for fun, joy and festivals, I’d like to share with you one of my favourite summer festivals. Charming Terraneo is located in my lovely hometown Sibenik that has a soul of an old poet and the prettiest sunsets ever seen. For misslikey these past two years Terraneo has been the place of divine music experience.  

First year in my spotlight were amazing The Raveonettes and gorgeous Sharin Foo who looked absolutely magnificent in front of the full moon, wearing capelet and platinum bob. This was total Nouvelle Vague-Blondie moment in the first row. And yes, I screamed. My divine moment, on the other hand, at Terraneo festival happened last year during The xx gig. I have to say I was in heaven even hours after seeing, listening and feeling these angels in black. Not to mention that over past years I also experienced even my stalking moment at Terraneo. Yes, I stalk. Well, sometimes. And I certainly cannot resist it when it comes to pretty drummers and bands like The Vaccines. When I spotted last year drummer Pete Robertson in Terraneo crowd with a voice of crazy fan I announced it to my friend. Any yes he was thrilled to join me in my stalking. And enough crazy to yell at him. Even if we were acting like couple of lunatics, dear Pete was pretty polite. Well, celebrities understand we are all lunatics sometimes better than anyone. So this year, with a cool cool breeze and dirty knees (as The Vaccines would say) I will enjoy Calexico and be in delirium with My Bloody Valentine. Maybe I will even jump with Prodigy. All this in pretty clothes, of course.

Guest Post; How to dress for Summer Music Festivals

When you’re a student there is nothing more satisfying than having the sun’s rays beat down on you as you lounge by the pool and recover from months or tortuous papers and text books. Apart from engaging in general sloth, summer music festivals count as one of the more anticipated events to fill your summer itinerary with. With the Coachella music festival already behind us, the task of formulating a comprehensive style guide of how to look festival-chic is ever simplified!

Do: Stay conscientious of the heat-- wear cut-off denim shorts! They’ll allow you to stay breezy and look cute. (On the photo William Rast Scarlet 867 Denim Short)

Do: Keep comfort in mind by wearing a loose-fitting crop top. Summer music festivals mean spending hours upon hours standing up in the heat and fighting crowds. Ensure your comfort by pairing your denim shorts with a breezy cropped tee in a fun color. (On the photo Colorfast Burnout Crop Top)

Do: Accessorize with a floppy hat for both style and practicality, à la Rumi Neely (of Fashion Toast) at Coachella. Look boho chic and protect yourself from the sun’s rays!

Do: Opt for classic sunglasses like these wayfarers worn by one Coachella festival-goer. Not only will they tie your retro-bohemian look together, they’ll provide you with much needed relief from the sunshine!

Do: Drink lots of water. Dehydration is not stylish. Drink up to be able to enjoy the performances and endure as long as possible! Choose a reusable water bottle to help reduce waste, and to be able to continue to fill it up throughout the day!
