THINGS THAT MAKE ME SMILE

29 Jan

1.  Amazing birdhouses called ‘For the birds’ by  Jeff Canham. (source)

2.  Good advice for 2012 (only one month has passed, there’s still hope, right?) (source)

3.  I know what I want on my birthday cake next year: crayon-candles from Emanuel Cohen.  Yes please!  (source)

4.  Prunella soap is not only organic and vegan but has the cutest promo shots I’ve ever come across.  Love love LOVE it! (source)
5.  Cute necklaces completing the print on the t-shirts, by Luft und liebe.
6.  The photorito lens wrap by photojojo.  I actually have something similar, but mine is boring grey (okay and fluorescent orange on the inside) and looks far from edible, boo.  Or maybe that’s a good thing?
7.  I remember being so in love with these cat-head lipsticks by Paul & Joe a few years ago, and apparently there’s a new collection, called ‘Meow’, celebrating the 10 year anniversary of Paul & Joe beauté, and it looks so good!  I want.  (source)
8.  This impressive piece of street art was made on a mossy wall outside of the STUK art center in Leuven, which is one of my favorite spots in the city.  I am so bummed I never saw this!  It was on the other exit route that I never take because I live on the other side of Leuven.  Sad, very sad.  Anyway, it’s a work by Belgian artist and illustrator Stefaan De Croock aka Strook, who washed away the moss with pressurized water.  Too cool.  (source)
9.  Raindrop magnets by snugstudio.  It shouldn’t be too hard to DIY with the university’s laser cutter, I should give this a try soon.  Could be a great gift, no?  (source)
10.  Fascinating infrared pictures of hong kong, by yiu yu hoi for 16hours magazine.  (source)
PS.  I updated my Tim Walker post, you should be able to see all of the photos now!  And I’m still having problems commenting on blogger, I don’t know what’s wrong but this is a shout-out to let you know I still read and enjoy your blogs!  Oh and one other thing that makes me smile:  Elle Belgique named me in their list of Belgian blogs you should follow, yay!  Merci, Elle, merci.

I GOT A LOVE THAT KEEPS ME WAITING

27 Jan

knit: h&m – skirt: springfield – boots: vintage – jewelry: fashionology, h&m, gift, casio, etsy, self made

My past few days/weeks were filled with studying so other than that I have nothing interesting to share.  I did use one of my h&m bracelets as a hair accessory and I’m giving you some photos of the view from my window as a bonus. Oh and when you’re reading this, I’m making my last exam, yay!

(Anyone else sad for missing the (apparently amazing) black keys concert due to stupid stupid exams?)

TIM WALKER

24 Jan

Usually I only post photos of young photographers, who aren’t that famous (yet).  But today I’m making an exception for Tim Walker.  His work is very different from what I usually share here (the scenery, the models, the clothes,…) but his dreamy photographs belong without a doubt to my favorites.  I’m sure you al know his most famous work (like this one, this one, or these colorful cats), but I focused more on his recent creations and the archived photos that I didn’t know yet (and hopefully you don’t either).  Here are my favorites!  (Be prepared, because I have quite a few favorites…)

THE JOY OF BOOKS

23 Jan

Remember this video  I posted months ago?  When the organization of their bookcase became a hit on youtube, Sean Ohlenkamp and wife Lisa took it up a notch for Type Books in Toronto and animated an entire bookstore.  (source)
