I have a collector personality, I like to collect things. Earrings, shoes, headbands, bows, dried flowers, candles, vases... Tights are also one of the things I have a craze for. There are so manny patterns available, they keep your legs warm in the winter and protected from the sun in the summer. And they look great on! I also love any period inspired...
I was hoping to see some snow this year, but no luck so far. I usually get really excited for holidays, but this year it has felt so... different. It was the first year I spent Christmas away from my parents. And despite the nice gifts I got (I am guilty of also giving in to buying some for myself), there was a...
I am not a nationalist, but I do believe in recognizing the values of every nation. Sadly, others don't share my views, but think one country better than another. It is pretty much the issue of the West vs. the East. Although I wasn't a given choice of where I want to be born and although I can't complain about my childhood and...
Oh yes, I am that nostalgic that I still have to show you a set of photos taken in UK. It is also because I am now without my full-time photographer and can only get new ones done on weekends. I promise pretty ballerina looks and gorgeous French countryside next time. But let us move on! I can not say I have been...
I have found myself with lots of time on my hands. University is over, as you will soon see in the post I'm planning for my exhibition review. And so, last week, after receiving an invitation from Reiss to one of their summer events, I have decided I could go and see a bit of Cheltenham, where I'd never been before. It is...
Vogue Japan has a wonderful editorial in the June issue, featuring Crystal Renn from Elite Model Management London, photographed by Camilla Akrans. I am a big fan of blue blacks, it's a technique I use on my own photography as well. As for the extravagant styling of the editorial, with the slight baroque influences, I can not have anything else than words of...
Surprisingly, we have been hit by a heat wave. I can not complain, it is obvious by now that I am addicted to warm weather and sunshine. Which is odd for a person that hates suntanning. It is because I enjoy nature and rain only drowns out the pretty colors, makes me cold, confines me to the house and turns the ground into...
The loveliest places are those shrouded in mystery and the loveliest houses are those with at least one flower climbing them. The sweet scent and the crunch of the gravel under your feet are attuned to the vibrations of the whole living world. And the playful pastels of the flowers clinging to the ochre of the Victorian stone make this mansion an icon...
Despite the incessant rain and fog, there have been a few brief days of stillness and even a shy sun came out to greet us yesterday, before being chased away by more rain this morning. And in those brief moments of joy and perfection, when nature's beauty was more inebriating than any wine, the rape fields have managed to bloom into a cloud...
There are many ad campaigns and photographs that I love, but it is rare that any would make me this infatuated with its imagery and objects. The minimalist photographs are perfect! And the fancy little sweets have awaken my appetite for a cup of tea and cake somewhere in a cafe on the French Riviera (which, really, is an ideal place to wear...
