dandelion wine.
photos via My Modern Metropolis
Regine Ramseier, a German artist, had an idea to stop the time, to stop ever lasting changing and growing processes, so she carefully picked 2,000 dandelions in their cloud-like form and sprayed a gentle adhesive on them, as if it treating them with water from the fountain of youth. The dandelions were then transferred by car to a little white room where they were hung.So lovely project of art! I'd love to stand in this room alone for a little while :).
P. S. Remember the book Dandelion wine written by Ray Bradbury? It stole my heart! It's the best book about the childhood I ever read - so sincere & somehow magic!

wearing scarfs.
Here's a lovely video 25 Ways to Wear a Scarf in 4.5 Minutes!
I'm usually wearing The Magic trick :), but I would love to try celebrity or The key tie!
P. S. These scarfs made in Etopia are absolutely adorable! The one on the left, on the bottom is my favorite! More you can find here.

language of Lithuania.

New info-virus spreading up on Facebook about lithuanian language, have you read it? It's a nice one!
The largest number of words for expressing tenderness, endearment and affection - like I always say - lithuanian is too beautiful for the ugly words :).

[..] doesn't mean I'm lost.

Crispy leaves and sun beams flashes through my eyes as I'm wandering once again in the street, which I do not know (one thing I always know about it - it's not the street I need. I mean, seriously, how does it always happen like that??), and yes, it's already 3 weeks since I'm here on my own in Germany..
It's just the way it goes. I've always depended on the kindness of strangers :).
But the strangest feeling that I'm always carrying out here with me since my arrival is that I'm somebody.
A man without the past. It's like we don't have anything with us. Hand luggage only.
Have you seen How I met your mother episode about our personal baggage? This is the main idea I want to tell you now.

I lost my baggage. I lost my studying WTF sciences, my laughs at everything she sees, my the best story teller (perhaps it's due to a language barrier..) and my has a depresion every 2 months baggage.
And perhaps many ohers.
It's some kind of freedom, some kind of eliminating yourself or it's better to say what you've been.
It's time to become somebody you can be.
Man is an onion made up of a hundred integuments, a texture made up of many threads. (~ Herman Hesse, one of my favorite books - Steppenwolf)
And the first layer is always brown, because it reflects the surroundings mostly.
But you have to find chances in your life to become another layer.
So my hugest wish in life is perfectly defined by Katherine Mansfield - I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
You know where I found this quote?
This summer when me and my parents where staying at my mother's hometown (which is small & absolutely lovely town!), we went to a cafe for lunch and there was a book of quotes on the table. While we were waiting I've turned some pages and accidentally read this.
You never know what you can find. Serendipity :).
Have a nice week, my lovelies!

One day a wonderful idea for one of my dream jobs came up to my mind - to travel around the world and to make fashion photos in historical places or in breathtaking nature backgrounds.
I can only dream of that, but yeah, it would be wonderful :).

what makes a good photo great?

This article from Life.com is a very nice way to learn a bit about photography while analyzing great shots - have a look! It has 8 galleries: lightning, portraits, the unseen eye, looking for heroes, great NFL pics, influences, composition, photographers at work and travel.
Influences is absolutely my favorite!

Have you heard about Google Art Project? I've found it last spring - it's such a wonderful way to use new technologies to explore art!
You can find more than 1,000 works of art there, like Vincent Van Gogh (one of my most beloved painters!) or Rembrandt (the second painting, "The return of prodigal son", I remember from my art classes, when I was at school. This painting is very very sensual, it somehow has a spirit that leaves a mark on my heart everytime I see it. Father is somehow shining with humility and forgiveness - it's amazing, how you can feel it.) paintings, you can explore the most famous galleries of the world, like Palace of Versailles, Tate Gallery in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and many others!
And what is more, you can save specific views of any of the artworks and build your own personalized collection! How amazing is that, ha? Comments can be added to each painting and the whole collection can then be shared with friends, family or on the web using the integrated goo.gl URL shortener.
Now that is something you must try!

P. S. a bit off topic: when I saw the poster of the new Woody Allen movie, I was absolutely in love with it - beautiful idea to use Vincent Van Gogh painting!

Today I have read that great great lithuanian tennis player, Ričardas Berankis, has made it to the final quarter on the Open d‘Orleans tournament in France!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!
I'm a fan of tennis - one summer me and my friend both insisted on playing tennis all summer.
And we did! We even bought good rackets. And we promised ourselves to do the same the next summer. But...
...we never did :).
I'd really love to try it out again and I hope I will! Of course, I will.
Good luck, Ričardai!!!

P. S. how lovely are these, ha :)?

These two sweaters looks just lovely [together]!

Hello, my lovelies, how's your October going? Today one of my new proffesors in university told us a very funny thing about women and men psychology, that refflects in business.
Men, who are very successful in business, always has the attitude like "Well, it wouldn't be such a successful business without me." and women usually says "Oh, I couldn't have made this without my wonderful collegues.". Moreover, when they are asked to tell, how do they came up with this idea, women usually says "We were working all together on this project and so..." and the answer of men would be like "So I was on my way to the toillet, when such a good idea came up to my mind..."
The proffesor was acting this situation so good, he made all the audience laugh out loud! But still, it's so true, I really image people saying that.
Don't get cold!

Ak.

getting lost is not a waste of time.
But still there are some moments, when I'm wandering in the streets alone, trying to find the shop I need and I don't know, where the f*** am I going, I hear people talking in other language and it kind of reminds me of the movie Lost in translation.
I can't answer to myself, what am I doing here. I don't know. And I probobly won't know. But I know one thing for certain. You must search in order to find something. And geting lost is never never never a waste of time.
xoxo,
Ak.
P. S. this is just what I need sometimes, thank you, Anna!
bayerisches Gemütlichkeit.
The second and the third photos are from central trains station - it do looks marvelous! In the fifth photo there is an entrance to Starbucks! How amazing is that, ha? And in the last two photos you can see a house that is near my home, it is very beautiful for me.
All the city is very very german - you can see it from the pictures, so I really like it.
Tonight me and other exchange students will go to the Kneipentour - it is called pub crawl in English, so I think it's going to be fun! Have a good week and don't get cold, my chéris!

What are you up to this weekend, my lovelies? I'm already in Nuremberg, in Germany and today my studdy-buddy Kristina is taking me to a farm near the city to ride horses! I always wanted to learn how to ride since I was a child, but I never did. I was even planing to take courses in Vilnius someday, so I'm really happy to go and see everything today!
The city is absolutely lovely and I fell in love with it at first sight when I saw it through the window of the bus. I'll share some photos the next time!
Have a good one, my sweets. :)

Here it is, I'm leaving and my head is full of thoughts I'll never thought I'll have when this moment will come. You know what? I can't believe that I won't have an iron for 5 months! 5 months I will be wearing wrinkled clothes. 5 MONTHS. Jesus.
AND I'm going to a country, where they say hand-shoes (die Handshuhe) for gloves! (??) Hm..
Anyway, I'm feeling a bit melancholic. :) I couldn't help but wonder: how many times in life do we leave something behind? Old places, bad times, forgotten friends, bad habits, issued lovers.. But it's always not about the end - it's about the beginning. Even if it sometimes mean the return. It's the middle that counts the most.
The next post will be from Nuremberg! I still can't imagine it. And as for now, here's the most hilarious goodbye kisses:

Cause without you, my lovely window, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's.
