Posted: June 18, 2022 Filed under: Accessories, Clothing | Tags: BDSM, bling, dievca, Eclectic, Humor, Portugal, Shopping, travel Leave a commentThe internet at the Eco-Lodge is dodgy and weather dependent, which makes the sharing of photos and information tricky. The photos dievca is sharing today are the ones she could download in a shorter period of time (40 min) – the store is in Viseu and was an oddity for the area.
A store with a lot of bling and merchandise – a Magpie’s Nest.

AHLUWALIA
Priya Ahluwalia , the young London-born designer of Nigerian-Indian heritage, is helping push the fashion industry towards a more sustainable future with her eco-conscious designs.
Conceived as a continuation of her MA project, the University of Westminster graduate launched Ahluwalia in 2018 with the intention of creating menswear garments out of vintage and second-hand clothing. Gaining industry-wide recognition and winning the 2019 H&M Design Award, Ahluwalia is representative of a new generation of forward-thinking designers seeking to challenge the status quo by engaging ever-more sustainable approaches to garment manufacturing. Influenced by her cultural heritage.
Ahluwalia is heavily inspired by the silhouettes family members wore in the 1990s. Embodying a nostalgic tinge, Ahluwalia is an amalgamation of sportswear, knitwear, and fine tailoring. Each piece, by the very nature of its fabrication, is unique: jackets, hoodies, sweaters, lounge pants, and shorts feature paneled and asymmetric constructions, mismatched fabrics, and juxtaposing pattern combinations. By giving unwanted, discarded, and forgotten items a second life, Ahluwalia sheds light on the potential for an ever-more ethically motivated fashion industry—one that does not have to forgo innovation in order to exemplify responsibility.

So, dievca wore:
- Sies Marjan Velvet Corduroy Dress
- Khaite OTK Black Patent Leather Boots
- BREE Black Patent Leather Clutch
- Spinelli Kilcollin Ring
- Justine Clenquet X Opening Ceremony Earrings
- Zero + Maria Cornejo Black Corduroy Bea Coat
- Chanel Red Lipstick
- Simple make-up because of dievca’s slight tan from Miami
- Straight hair to frame the earrings
dievca felt very comfortable which always allows someone to present better. It was nice to get out. Oh, yeah – the mask for the Uber:
- Judith Leiber Grey Swarovski Crystal Mask

Looking like a Human – 2 options
Posted: March 13, 2022 Filed under: Clothing | Tags: aging, Athletic, BDSM, D/s, dievca, functional, Girlfriend Collective, Life, practical, Splits59, workout Leave a commentIn a past life of Athletics – dievca has been known to train in large t-shirts and shorts, cotton sweatpants, mismatched socks, etc. The training was more important than the look. That statement still holds true – but when you are no longer an adorable, in shape 20 something — you may look sad and sloppy in your 50s. This is ok for home workouts – but dievca is finding that when she cleans up a bit, her workouts become more positive, and perhaps she isn’t scaring herself or anyone.
dievca has mentioned Splits59 previously, she’s added some pieces to make the outfits layered and temperature functional:
- Splits59 Techflex Bra Ombre
- Splits59 High Waist Raquel Tights Indigo
- Splits59 Sadie Tank Indigo
- Splits59 Ribbed Turtleneck Indigo White
dievca’s second favorite workout outfit is a combination of a jogbra and shorts from Girlfriend Collective and a tank and light sweatshirt from Splits59:
- Girlfriend Collective Tommy Bra Dark Green
- Girlfriend Collective High-Rise Biker Shorts Dark Green
- Splits59 Toni Tank Dark Forest
- Splits59 Warm Up Fleece Dark Forest
Do you have a suggestion for a great workout clothing brand?

dievca is not a “Pink Lady” – she doesn’t disdain the color pink,
but she doesn’t have much of the color in her closet.
she can only think of:
Eliza Faulkner Cotton Sissy Dress
It took awhile, but dievca finally stopped avoiding the dress because
Melania Trump wore a Pink Dress….
Recently, she has now seen an outfit she would be interested in wearing with some flashes of pink
by Rag & Bone:
Who wouldn’t want to wander around NYC in a pink tank and matching boots?
(Tank $95, Boots $550)
Add a Pink Lady cocktail and a Pink Lady apple – Voilà!
Pink Lady Drink Recipe
- 1 1/2 ounces of gin
- 1/2 ounce applejack
- 1/2 ounce lemon juice, preferably fresh
- 1 egg white
- 1/5 ounce (or a couple of dashes) of grenadine
Combine all your ingredients in a shaker without ice. Shake it, shake it, shake it to get the egg well mixed. Now add ice and shake some more. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a cherry. You can spear the cherry, stick it on the edge of the glass, or just drop it down in.

Nothing by her face. she’s found the excepetion with Etro:
Etro’s over-sized patterned yellow hoodie. It actually doesn’t wash dievca’s Winter complexion out – so she knows it will be fine in the Summer, too. This will be a great cover-up for her Etro bikini:
The return of Cocktail Attire – dievca’s dilemma
Posted: March 4, 2022 Filed under: Accessories, Analysis, Clothing | Tags: BDSM, closet, Cocktail Attire, comfort, D/s, dievca, dilemma, Elegant, Etiquette, Life, Retrofete, submissive 2 Comments
Does this dress work as Cocktail Attire?
Cocktail attire is meant to bridge the gap between day and night. It is still an occasion to dress up, but a full-length gown is not necessary. This merges the silhouette of a garden party dress (shorter) with the fabric and embellishments of a formal gown. Think somewhere between a sophisticated formal occasion and office or party wear.
Still, with so much ambiguity, cocktail attire could mean different things depending on the venue, the time of day, and the season.
During the day, think natural colors and fresh styles and in the evening, feel free to utilize darker hues and embellishments such as sequins or feathers (so long as your dress doesn’t sweep the floor). The goal is to look polished and dressy – but not takeaway from the event
Ladies: When in doubt, a LBD, a pair of sensible heels or dressy flats, some nice earrings, and a classy clutch will always work for a cocktail event, no matter the venue or time of day. In addition to a traditional cocktail dress, women can also wear dressy suits or nice jumpsuits paired with heels or formal flats.
Gentlemen: a suit and tie are required for cocktail attire. Go with darker hues in chillier months or for evening events, but feel free to wear lighter grays or blues in warmer weather or for daytime celebrations. As for shoes, keep it classy with a nice pair of dark dress shoes that match your belt.
OK – now dievca’s dilemma — does she wear the Retrofete Grace Dress in Chocolate (above photo) or not? It’s a quieter color, but completely covered in sequins….
- The venue is a smaller Event Space.
- A Mixed Audience.
- The dress fits very well.
- It’s in the middle of March – Weather could be cold or warm…
Here’s plan: dievca will be trying on the dress with ACNE STUDIOS snakeskin sandals if its warm and carry the brown JALDA croc clutch (her’s is darker than the photo)
If its cold or dievca’s legs look scary without sun… Sheer Nude or Brown stockings with Brown Heels or OTK Brown Boots.

A squall~
Posted: February 20, 2022 Filed under: Clothing, Entertainment, Home and Garden | Tags: BDSM, Cold Weather, D/s, definition, dievca, Life, NYC, practical, Uniqlo, Winter Leave a commentNYC had a Snow Squall yesterday.
What is a snow squall? According to the National Weather Service, a snow squall is “an intense short-lived burst of heavy snowfall that leads to a quick reduction in visibilities and is often accompanied by gusty winds.”
Why are they more dangerous than blizzards? Driving in a snow storm is difficult. Add in blowing wind and poor visibility, and travel can become downright dangerous. Driving in a snow squall is next to impossible.
The Squall was about 10 minutes long and dievca missed it all – she was working. But, she was dressed appropriately against the heavy winds for the bike ride to and from work (click on photos for details):

dievca has found herself gravitating towards a lot of Green – her recent purchases have triggered an analysis of her closet…she has a LOT of green. she wears a LOT of green. she would like a LOT of green. It’s a bit of a strange color – but its something that works with her coloring.
Here’s the recent purchases:

dievca sold her Faux Fur coats the other year and (of course!) shearling faux and real are back in Fashion.
Four Options (guess which one dievca is trying):
- Bottega Veneta Green Shearling Hooded Coat ($8900)
- Bottega Veneta Aqua Shearling Coat ($8900)
- Proenza Schouler White Label Green Faux Fur Wrap Coat ($895)
- Yves Salomon Blue Faux Fur Wool Mateo Button Down Coat (on sale $450)
If you guess the blue button down coat (Yves Salomon) you are correct. At 5″4′ and curvy – those wrap coats will overwhelm dievca’s frame – though she loves the look desperately… For dievca, wrap dresses and coats are like wearing yellow or raglan sleeves – just DON’T do it!
What’s in a name?
Posted: January 11, 2022 Filed under: Body Type, Clothing, Musings | Tags: BDSM, D/s, Death, dievca, Elegant, ethnicity, Family, Humor, Life, Love, Slovak, Ukrainian, vyshyvanka Leave a comment
dievča is 1/2 дівчинка, but she never really thinks of herself as Ukrainian. she looks like her Dad’s Slovak side of the family (which is — well, maybe, not quite as beautiful as her Mother’s Ukrainian side…).
What prompted these musings?
dievca’s Mom took a turn for the worse and her cousins are coming out of the woodwork to tell her Mom that they love her. Singing Ukrainian songs, sending photos of her Mother to dievca. It is sad and lovely at the same time. The photos shared show that dievca doesn’t really look like her Mom other than the pointy chin which pokes Master’s chest, the color of her eyes (grey), and her voice.
If dievca can’t really look Ukrainian, maybe she could was seek a way to feel more Ukrainian – so she started looking for a vyshyvanka:
Then she remembered that she has this Ulla Johnson blouse – one is enough:

to get to the Laundrymat to clean towels, pads, and clothing because the wash machine went out….It’s been years since dievca has had to gather quarters for the machines.
dievca’s desperation of not initially recognizing a wine bottle shape in the bottom cupboard was a bit pathetic. The wine is a solid Malbec and a good way to end a day of chores.
Mom is good, dievca got her best – but she is fading. Mom is going to go down with dignity and a healthy splash of humor~
dievca absolutely loves that her Mom cannot remember that she broke her hip twice or what she ate, but she damn well knows that dievca brought her favorite chocolates and asks about dievca’s Apple Green Dries van Noten Platform Sandals. (Note: Mom is bed/wheelchair bound, but dievca has put all the shoes on her Mother’s feet – just to get the “look”.)
dievca schlepped two pair of kick a** boots for Mom to review, platform leather Chuck Taylors, a +J Uniqlo Mixed Knit Sweater a friend gave to her and the crazy print LA Double J reversible down coat. dievca’s Mom loved it all.
Chocolates and Fashion – there is some kind of philosophical “Meaning of Life” in those choices.

Dress the Part
Posted: November 24, 2021 Filed under: Clothing, Discussion, Dresses | Tags: BDSM, closet, D/s, Life, positive mental attitude, Presentation, submissive, work Leave a comment
dievca has a Navy Blue Silk Dress that makes her feel amazing. Its’s not the most expensive dress nor the most fashionable, but she likes to wear it whenever she needs to clean up and present to humans. she can dress the outfit up or down with shoes/boots and accessories – any way it goes on it – she feels great.
dievca stands taller.
A lot of people argue that what you wear isn’t important, or that it is unfair to suggest that people should buy clothes to boost their self-esteem. If we are being realistic about the working world or IRL, we have to point out the truth: How you present yourself is important. You don’t need to have a closet full of expensive clothes to get ahead, but you will feel a lot better if you have one or two outfits you absolutely love that you can wear whenever you need a pick-me-up.
dievca doesn’t wear the silk dress because it will impress other people — she wears it because it makes her feel ready to take on the world!
