dreaming of… 25 March, 2011

I’m so looking forward to the first weekend in three years of doing-nothingness. All the finals are behind, how exciting is that! At the same time it feels a little weird not to have a big goal ahead, being a planner by nature this situation makes me anxious. So I’ve decided to start planning the next “BIG THING”. A European vacation! While I’m positively sure which country I want to visit next, the schedule availability doesn’t look that bright at all. Oh well, I’ll start planning anyways…with the perfect wardrobe for a perfect European Vacation. No schedule can deprive a girl of dreaming about it

and I’m back! 17 March, 2011

I missed you guys! But I really feel like I’ve accomplished something…well, almost. Only one more final to go and I’ll pocket my second Masters. Don’t cha think I’ve deserved a little treat, like these TINY donuts may be…or something else with sprinkles on top?

I’ve heard that sugar helps to restore all the nerve sells destroyed but the sleepless night! Or have I just made it up…

a few days off 7 March, 2011

Between final weeks of school (2 weeks left!), internship, meetings and family arrangements, my life is spinning  faster than ever before. So I’m officially taking few days off from blogging to clear my head and get organized! Such a shame, since I have tons of new design discoveries I wanted to share with you all…that if can find them since my place starts to look like in the Alberta Ferretti editorial.

And yes, you guessed right, that girl sleeping with a book is me preparing for the finals.

black crow studios 5 March, 2011

What can be better than a wallpaper? A custom wallpaper made especially for you! Black Crow Studios offer just that. No same pattern repeat, just pure art mural that exactly fits your needs. Isn’t it just dreamy, or am I too crazy in love with wallpapers?!

All the designs above are hand drawn, photographed or painted by Tracy Hinter herself. But also features works of other incredibly talented artist. Don’t you just love the nostalgic European photocards wallpaper! Just want to wrap myself in it.

Keep dancing to the Roisin Murphy’s Ruby blue, the soundtrack on their website.

dior-o-mania 27 February, 2011

John Galliano seems to be on fire for the past two years. Every season’s collection from Dior smashes my heart and drops my jaw even lower. Spring 2011 is Galliano’s salute to RenĂ© Gruau, the illustrator whose work for Christian Dior in the forties and fifties created the house’s most iconic imagery.

The graphite smears, pencil strokes and scribbles, erasure marks, and gouache washes of Gruau’s illustrations were duplicated in cloth and embroidery, used, said the designer, “in an illustrative way.”

review by Tim Blanks

The collection left me thinking what kind of job should one have to wear this dresses every day, ‘coz I definitely would take it.
