MY FASHION NOTEBOOK DAY9: FOREVER21 FRIDAY

Ola! Obrigado Brazil! Thank you for following my blogs. ๐Ÿ™‚

TGIF. Thanks God it’s Friday! I know everyone love Fridays. We look forward for the weekend and usually wear very casual. Those get ups that’s ready for the party afterwards. I’m not a party girl but I love to relax in a coffee shop or walk or a Friday date night. Weather has been good the following days that allow me to still wear some summer clothes. I went to visit the Red Cross today and I wore this FOREVER21 dress together with a wedge shoes from TOMMY HILFIGER. I wore a jacket since I am with Red Cross staffs and after the busy hours I get rid of my jacket, viola! I’m ready to conquer the day and enjoy the remaining sun.

I like the cotton soft textile and of course I love flowers. I love FOREVER21. I remember my closest friends in law school who told me everytime they pass by a FOREVER21 outlet they always remember me. ๐Ÿ™‚

MY FASHION NOTEBOOK DAY 4: LIKE BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S

Everytime I see photos of the movie “breakfast at tiffany’s” I am still drooling over Audrey Hepburn’s look. That is one simple yet over elegant and classy. One afternoon, I played to be like Audrey. Forgive me, I grab my black dress and tried myself to look like her lol. One day, I’ll hire a make up artist and let herdo exactly the way it is. ๐Ÿ™‚ Bucket list… to look like Audrey Hepburn. I know that’s kinda weird haha..Moving on, I’d attended one opera night already here in Franceย  but I don’t know yet what’s happening inside aside from the fact that they’ll be singing. I wish I wore something like this that night.

I bought this black dress in a thrift store in the Philippines that costs only less than 5โ‚ฌ. Yes, less than 5โ‚ฌ. ๐Ÿ™‚ Just a little imagination it can look like it costs cher.

MY FASHION NOTEBOOK DAY3: SUMMER FALL

We attended an event today in our city Nancy, France called “LA LIVRE SUR LA PLACE”. To make it short it is a book exhibit with all the book authors. I guess I have to make a separate blog about it. It’s very interesting. My thoughts goes to my book lover friends especially those who love the french culture.Street style. The day splits from fall or summer so I have to wear something in the middle. You know how much I’m scared of the biting cold. I’m wearing a jupe from Zara which cost only โ‚ฌ4.99 can you believe it? I won a great deal on that price. My top from Pimkie also cost โ‚ฌ4.95. I put a scarf to create a color to the white top and of course to protect my neck from the cold. I added the leather jacket just so I’m ready to take it off when the sun shows. My bag is from Mango which is a gift from my dearest sister.

ON NUISSANCE

Some informations on Nuissance by Rebert Brussย http://www.inman.com/2007/07/13/dogs-barking-drove-me-sue/

A noisy factory; a junk-filled vacant lot; a constantly barking dog; noisy neighbors; a smelly sewerworks; a house where illegal drugs are sold; a house of prostitution; a noisy night club.
What do all these situations have in common?
If you said they are all nuisances, you earn an โ€œA.โ€

Now for a tougher question: Which of the above nuisances are public nuisances, which are private nuisances, and what is the difference? The answer: โ€œIt depends on the facts.โ€

MY FASHION NOTEBOOK DAY 2: MY ITALIAN WEDDING IDEA

That Italian wedding that every celebrity is dying for? I have my own share of Italian wedding.My first wedding was in Italy in the city of Ancona. I went panic buying of clothes because I can’t decide what to wear in a civil ceremony. Before going to Italy, I already settled in wearing a Forever21 ivory dress. When I arrived in Italy, I saw a great deal of choices for my civil ceremony and that adds more to my perplexity.

Then come my wedding day. I never thought of the cold. It’s my very first winter anyhow. I thought I can manage the cold but no, I can’t. Its biting me. In the end, I never get to wear all the dresses I bought because of the weather. It’s winter and raining hard on that Valentine’s day of 2013. I forthwith grab something that will keep me warm. I promise to post my Italian wedding photos come February. For now, this is how I am suppose to dress and look like in my Civil wedding ceremony that the weather did not permit me. lol My look and style is far from the winter wedding I’m preparing. Ah! Growing up in the tropics my imagination of cold is far from the real one. ๐Ÿ™‚

Oh I guess, Kiera Knightly got inspiration from me. ๐Ÿ˜› After my Italian wedding she also got married in France with almost the same dress as mine. Ah, the only difference is that she’s wearing a tube channel one but the tule skirt is almost the same. ๐Ÿ™‚

The original ribbon of this FOREVER21 dress is black. I replaced it with my favorite color green.

UPDATES ON COPYRIGHT LAWS

Here is a unique case regarding ownership of photos that creates bewilderment in the Copyright world.FACTS: Professional wildlife photographer David Slater set up camera in the wild somewhere in Indonesia. The monkey got curious and clicked on the button that resulted in a beautiful MONKEY SELFIE. Later on, the MONKEY SELFIE began circulating and reached WIKIPEDIA. The Photographer told WIKI hey, I own the copyright of that photo, please remove it as you are using it without permission. But the WIKI management said. No NO we are not removing it, it is the monkey who owns the photo since he’s the one who clicked the button of the camera. Hence, the lawsuit.

ISSUES: Whether or not the photographer holds the copyright of the photo or the monkey?

HELD:ย  The monkey owns the photo since he is the one who clicked the button of the camera.

Wikiemedia wins. The revised rules even go as far as citing “a photograph taken by a monkey” as one of the works not covered, along with a mural painted by an elephant and driftwood shaped and smoothed by the ocean.

The U.S. Copyright Office has settled the recent debate over the so-called monkey selfie, declaring in updated rules that a piece of content produced by an animal can’t be registered.
Neither can content created by ghosts and gods. Seriously.

This decision from the website.
