rouge & noir

1) Rouge : I really like pink and red together! especially if it is OPI's colour!!

2) Noir : the new album from The Black Keys is out now! I began to listen to it and really enjoy Year in Review  and In our Prime... (besides that, tomorrow it is the 35th birthday of the singer, Dan Auerbach!)

 

 

“I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way…”       > Vance Joy



*nail polishes : OPI 'Strawberry Margarita' & 'Red' / short = Zara / tights = ??

what on earth is going on?

1) cute Joseph Gordon-Levitt and beautiful Emma Watson looking amazing together at the Oscars' ceremony!

2) absolutely gorgeous prints from Peter Pilotto x Target!

3) new video clip from Arctic Monkeys : 'Arabella' which is so visual and retro...

4) new (and super easy) way to do my nails!!

5) Foster the People are back! How is this new album?  Torches was INCREDIBLY enjoyable and  I love every single song. This one sounds different even if there are some great tunes, like "Ask Yourself", "The Truth" or "Are you what you want to be?"(maybe I'll make a review soon!)

6) weather isn't warm enough to wear summer dresses, so I draw them...

7) my mum began to bake fantastic (and delicious) cakes!!

“Rule number two, just don't get attached to

Somebody you could lose

Rule number four, gotta be looking pure

Kissing goodbye at the door, and leave him wanting more

if I were a boy...

...I would dress like Joseph Gordon-Levitt!!!

I hope you feel beautiful today

I'm not very good at doing my hair nicely, but I saw this on the Internet, tried and ... succeed!

The Killers : 10 years of existence!
Here's my 10 favourite songs I'm obsessed with :

completely Chung ❤

She's one of my ultimate-crush; I love her style, her hair (her ex-boyfriend...), her smile and most of her outfits...
She inspired me everyday when I'm in front of my warderobe! She made me like flat shoes and as her, I appreciate slim pants, babydoll dresses and put my shirt in my pants or skirt too.

So, happy 30th birthday, Alexa!

❤

French corner

French is my mother-tongue, so I wanted to talk about people who have this common with me...


I chose one band, one singer, one actor and one journalist:



pictures from Google, Twitter and Pinterest

1) Vincent Glad : journalist
He's the one who continues to make me want to be a journalist. He writes for several newspapers and works for TV too (Canal +) and created a job with what he likes : web technologies and information.

2) Thomas Dutronc : singer & guitar player
He's got famous parents, but I really appreciate his music which doesn't look like everybody's. Plus, he's a super guitar player and he's completely amazing (and good-looking!!)

3) Raphaël Personnaz : actor
He's my last crush and we'll hear a lot about you this summer : he plays Marius in the remake of Pagnol's films. Plus his character in La Stratégie de la Poussette is sooooo cute!

4) Phoenix : band
Ahhhhh, I'm a big fan of them for years!!! and their last album is great (they have songs called 'bourgeois', 'drakkar noir' or 'oblique city'...French words in English, I love it!). and the singer  (Thomas Mars)'s wife is Sofia Coppola.

“I don't always think of you

As untitled, insecure, Chloroform
I would rather stand if you stay
Why would I lie to you?
My love, my love, my love, my love is
My love, my love, my love it is
My love, my love, my love, my love is
Cruel
Buckle up, we'll chase each other
It's not a lot it's just enough to matter
Anyway you want the truth is
I will marry you on Tuesdays …”         >    Phoenix  

"catch me if you can"...

... Shutter Island  Titanic  Inception  Gangs of New York   The Departed  Revolutionary Road  is my favourite film with Leonardo DiCaprio Y! So I'm very excited to discover this version of The Great Gatsby...besides that, 20's clothes seem to be amazing!!

 



Even if some songs are really good (Florence + The Machine, The XX,...), I'm quite disappointed by the soundtrack...I usually blog about what I love, but I think Beyoncé's Black to black is useless...

“He's my sun, he makes shine like diamonds

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will…”           > Lana Del Rey

summertime sadness

My favourite season is beginning : Autumn
I really like the H&M ads with Lana Del Rey, here you are :

“I got that summertime, summertime sadness
...
I think I'll miss you forever

Like the stars miss the sun in the morning skies

Later's better than never…”       > Lana del Rey




NEW: I have updated my Playlists Page and now you can find titles of songs I quote in my posts ♫

up for lost time

Hey! I'm finally back and fortunately everything is working well now. So I'm sharing with you what I wanted to post last month...

First, my nails, again and again...(I tried new patterns ; adhesive is my new best friend!) :

and I wanted to share with you David Beckham's Elle cover(s) too:

I wish you a nice summer and see you around (I promise!!)

I want diamonds ; would you buy a big diamond ring for me?

Two days ago, I went to see Coldplay in concert (It was super-great-fantastic-amazing !!! just want to do it again!) and their support act was : Marina and The Diamonds.
Do you know this welsh-greek young girl?
In fact, I knew only few songs of her first album (The Family Jewels), which bring good mood ("Oh no!" or "Hollywood" for example). But she sang new ones too, because her second album (Electra Heart) is out now.
I listened to her only since J
I advise you to do the same!

26.05.2012

the video isn't from me...so thank to : PianetaSarah (on YouTube)

 Besides her impressive voice, I love what she does! and how she looks too. She has her own world and this is more obvious for the second album, I think. She completely changed her style, with blond hair, but it looks good on her! What do you think?
Anyway, she's my last girl-crush!
and she makes me want to dance...!

"Primadonna, girl yeah

All i ever wanted was the world
I can't help but I need it all
The Primadonna life, the rise and fall
You say that I'm kind a difficult
But I'ts always someone else's fault
Got Your wrapped around my finger, babe
You can coult on feeling misbehaved
Primadonna, girl
Would you do anything for me?
Buy a big diamond ring for me?
Would you get down on your knees for me?"

"We've got obsessions

I want to erase every nasty thought that bugs me every day of every week
We've got obsessions
You never tell me what it is that makes you strong and what it is that makes you weak..."


"I know exactly what I want and who I want to be..."

RED

Hey!
I was searching for a nail polish when I discovered that I had four different red colours... First I thought they would be pretty the same, but, in fact, they do not look the same at all!


If you want to be chic and sensuous... black-red is for you ; It-Girl (Sephora)


For a retro-preppy-bright style : Cherry Popsicle (Sephora)

With its orange highlights, this one is perfect for summer! Have Misschievous (Missguided)! and you can admire my little summer degrade...

If you want to look like Marilyn Monroe or any other 'Femme Fatale'... try OPI Red (OPI)
and yes, I did find funny to do some stripes on one nail...

“I am done with my graceless heart

So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart

Cause I like to keep my issues strong

It's always darkest before the dawn…”                           > Florence + The Machine

Autumn Girl

« Autumn brings, a touch of pain.

Bitter reminder of a spring rain

…

Autumn girl, are you listening?

Autumn girl, sweat is glistening,

like the heat from a thousand midnights…“        > Baltimore Shrubbers

„The girl from all those songs

Who made everything feel right

She came in like an angel

Into your lonely life

And filled your world with light

Oh and everybody told you you're oh so lucky

Curtains part revealing a country scene

Clothed in green and brown

Evidence of Autumn

And leaves of red

On a winding lane and biway

Walking on that road is a certain girl

And all the world in one

Guaranteed to move you and turn your head

When all's been said and done …“                     > Genesis
