Monthly favorites - September

Hello hello,

as I mentioned in my previous post, I will share with you dear readers the things I have been enjoying/liking and that ranges from fashion, art, decor, architecture, music, food, to random things as well.

First addition to my daily rituals: a splendid exquisite cup of coffee at the very beginning of the evening. Whether be it a Turkish coffee that smells like wonder or a french cafetière coffee that I freezes for a while and add cinnamon to finish it off. An amazing way to freshen up and feel a bit awake before heading out or doing what you're doing.

Perfectly said! This subtle transition between summer and fall beats magic in every existing way possible. I do feel it on every inch of my rusty bones ; the cool breeze and the warm sunlight, the cloudy melancholic sky, the dancing trees and the bright yellowish greenery of the grass, the smell of coffee in the early morning and that sudden caffeine rush that raises up your motivation and get you all ready for a new fresh day ahead. 

Music wise, what kept me going throughout the days are the following tracks. It varies from Deep House, Nu Disco, Indie Rock, UK Garage, and mostly Drum'n Bass. One of my favorite Drum'n Bass music these days are Wilkinson. Especially this track Wilkinson- Afterglow. Followed up by this progressive rock track to cool it down Anilah- Warrior. Of course, I cannot spend a day without some Alt-J tunes, I believe that his voice does something to me...something far surreal to be taken seriously. 

It's back to school season, which also mean, new clothes! And the picture down below will perfectly describe my tendencies this season; effortlessly stunning. 

As a Pinterest junkie, you cannot escape from making a DIY board and pinning great ideas and inspiring crafts all day long. Therefore, I have been wanting to change my room decor for so long, and seeing these great ideas have finally convinced me to do so. We'll see where that is going to take us, decor wise.

I believe these are the most important things that I have fell in love with lately. I will share with you guys more in the near future.

Hope all is well.

Cheers

Digital hunt

Hey there !

In this blog post, I am mainly going to submit some of the catchy/inspirational photographs I've been gathering lately.I do not recall any information for the credits, sorry. But they are just things you can find on Tumblr or pinterest or anywhere.

Let's get started :

Well I admit that these kind of posts are sort of silly, and pointless but I do like to remind myself that there are much more beauty in this world to just...quit. Therefore, I need to get my arse off my bed and take my camera and...wander. 

Not all who wander are lost.

Hopefully the next post will be about my own photographs.

Cheers.

Challenges

Simon and Garfunkel- The only living boy in New York

After a huge period of idleness,I proudly announce that I'll be back on track (of photography) once again. During this long summer,I had the opportunity to practice,let's say experiment, my skills in needle work (sewing rags to make coherent clothes),in fine art as well (paintings,drawings,sculptures,some specific crafts too).I will be showing the results soon. Actually,my father have showed a lot of support,but he kept wondering : "What on earth have pushed you to major in industrial chemistry engineering?". I'll keep the answer to that,for my own. 

However,( I can't believe that I spent the whole night listening to The lion King songs,I have always wanted to look like Simba when I was a kidow), I wanted to share this Belarusian artist (Oleg Tchoubakov) 's art work.

     

more of his splendid work : http://tchoubakov.com/home/ 

A genuine continuity between the smooth clouds and the brown curly hair of the young lady on the bike,some Alice in Wonderland cliché are appearing on the first painting,which represent pretty much the most spectacular escape. Seeing such amount of fairy tales inspired artworks lead me to depict the artist's world, his fancies and fantasies,how much sugar does he/she put in their daily coffee, what is the first thing that comes to their mind once awake,etc... All of this to say that I truly appreciate the "Wonderlanders". 

Another artist have caught my attention,as we are having something in common,when it's about photography.

She is Brooke Shaden, a marvelous photographer from LA,California.

Her photographs are somehow reaching me deep inside,it talks,moves and crawls.It tells something.Not only something as a matter of fact,but...a lot. Check her work here

So,she is making gorgeous,fairy tales inspired self-portraiture...Like a big girl,she takes her cameras,outfits and everything she would need for a shoot,drive to the wood by herself and film the whole process of auto-portraiture. Here is a video of her behind the scenes sequences : 

I wouldn't actually deny the fact that seeing this have actually motivated me to keep on doing my self-portraiture work. Because I've almost bailed it out days ago,when I couldn't find a way to get an appropriate focus on myself when using the timer,and then running back in front of the camera,etc...So,I hopefully will start  self-portraiture again,soon.It is amusing,fun and totally unforgettable.Especially when you're trying to shoot outdoors. 

Anyway, enjoy your visit guys !

greetings !

Early awake

However, besides being quite pissed off and about to hunt that bitchy mosquito who 've turned my sweet night into pure hell, am trying to get a zen attitude for a new Monday morning.
As I've been counting and I hope I didn't made mistakes,I get back to College life on the 5th of September,which is actually the next next Monday. Yay ? Not quietly since I now find it hard to replace my permanent idleness with actual activity such as writing,talking,thinking...No!

 

At least,awakening my right brain hemisphere with such curves,colors and shapes makes me feel a lot better.

Can we live without Tumblr ? No for this too !
