favourite things

1) this amazing nail polish : "A woman's Prague-ative" by OPI

2) autumn & its colours!

“It was those 3 words that saved my life.

It wasn't complicated, wasn't pre-meditated.
To you I'm dedicated,
Lets just go ahead and say it...
I love you...”                                                   > Cheryl Cole & Will.I.Am 

I wish I was your favourite girl

Here's summer! and every outfit I 'd like to wear in those (summerly holiday) situations.....

 

 

“You got the tenderness that I've been searching for
Oh, I want some more
You got the sweet lips like I did never taste before
Oh, I want some more…”                                         > Dan Auerbach

 

everyday inspiration (in summer and +++)

I'm not a big fan of her music, but I LOVE her preppy vintage simple casual style!!

“I have to take your hand and feel your breath for fear this someday will be over
I pulled you close, so much to lose knowing that nothing lasts forever
I didn't care, before you were here
I danced in laughter with the ever after
But all things change, let this remain…”               > Pearl Jam

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!!

 'Cause the outside world doesn't need our help tonight

In the gentle night little whispers draw us closer …”    >  Tired Pony

 

 

 

fashion fall

This is my selection of items-I-like during fashion weeks...

 “When you’re happy from a dream

Is it hard to work out what’s real
Is the real over there
More vivid than here ever feels
We could love, we could love you
If you need somebody to love you
While you’re looking for somebody to love
Sweet love illumination
Sweet, sweet love elevation
Outside, fresh other side
But inside love, you will be alright
Sweet love illumination
Sweet, sweet love celebration…”    > Franz Ferdinand 

don’t forget to smile

Though a smile is little work, its effects are long lasting. That's the same with summer patterns...

“Say what you need to say

Have no fear
For giving in
Have no fear
For giving over
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Then never to say what you need to say again…”  > John Mayer





* tight =  Primark / skirt = LaRedoute/ dresses = H&M, LaReoute, LaRedoute

without hope we live on in desire

I usually don't really like wishlists on blogs - capitalism at its finest - but here a selection of what I recently found on the web (that I probably won't buy) while we're still waiting for the sun...

“I feel something so right

Doing the wrong thing

I feel something so wrong

Doing the right thing

I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

 

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars…”                > One Republic

gangster style

I recently watched Gangster Squad, a film about fight against underworld of Los Angeles, starring Ryan Gosling (!!!, I had to see it!), Emma Stone (I'd like her hair colour so much) and Sean Penn, which takes place in the 50's (great decade for clothes, isn't it ?) 

Anyway, Ryan  Jerry Wooter  all clothes look great, here you are :

♥ ♥ ♥ Inspirational Ryan Gosling ♥ ♥ ♥

“True Romance,

 Is what I'm after darling “    > Miles Kane

don’t let your feet touch ground

I'm searching ideas of gifts for friends and family...but I find lots of things I would buy for myself...

For now, I can only offer my cat which is already packed... :)

"I would give you my love,

I would give you my life,
I would give you everything you want… "    > Dada Ante Portas






* shoes = TopShop / Jeffrey Campbell / Maxwell

Electric Holiday

 Nice film from Disney and Barney's New York. Enjoy!

“Standing in the hall of fame

 And the world's gonna know your name
 Cause you burn with the brightest flame…”       > The Script

I wanna be an It-Girl ... ★ ★ ★

Hi!

I've been busy since my last post, but I've discovered polyvore.
Do you know it?
It is really fun and easy to use. Now I am able to spend hours on it, trying to create something with items I like! plus, you can buy what you like the most too (not good for my wallet...that's why, sometimes I really want to become an It-Girl...wearing  wonderful clothes as a job, tempting, no?)

Oh, and I wonder if I want to change my haircut...so I am searching ideas in my drawings...

Here, I present you my first creations.

"I'll kiss you once for life; I'll kiss you twice for death
I'll hold you close for comfort, wearing my best dress.."    > Florence and the Machine (because Florence is an It-Girl)




* T-shirt = H&M / skirt = Ally Fashion / shoes = H&M (the ones Lana del Rey is wearing too...)

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 ♫

Wish-List for autumn 2012

Ta daaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here is the new collection of Irregular Choice :

 Ok, ok, I know, I already have one pair of this model (Patty) in black, but...
Aren't they so beautiful???

"Handsome smiles wearing handsome shoes,

Too young to say, though I swear he knew,

And i hear him singing while he sits there in his chair,

Now these autumn leaves float around everywhere…"   
                                                    
> Paolo Nutini

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..."

"Make-up Khôl"

I bought my first blue eye pencil this week (the MAC limited sailor edition)! I have brown eyes and I understood (recently) that I could wear a lot of colours instead of only brown...
This is the list of the ones I own:

 I'm searching for one in grey...I didn't find it already...any idea? which is your favourite one?

"She stares through my shadow
She sees something more
Believes there's a light in me
She is sure
And her truth makes me stronger
Does she realize
I awake every morning
With her strength by my side
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am...."                     > Josh Groban

"En Mai, fait ce qu'il te plaît..."

I had time and wanted to do something different on my nails. I checked few techniques on blogs and tried. 
This is not very difficult, you just need :
- nail polish (white or colour)
- a pattern from a newspaper / magazine
- 70° alcohol
- top coat (to finish)
- imagination & patience  J


I hope you will enjoy the result!

"When she was just a girl,

She expected the world,
But it flew away from her reach,
So she ran away in her sleep..."               > Coldplay

L - O - V - E (is a four letter word)

Last week, I was reading a newspaper in the bus when I saw the name of Jason Mraz and, below, the words 'new album out now'.
I thought : " What???" and when I went back home, I just checked to have more information. and I bought it!
So, what do I think about this album?
It is so good, with really pretty songs which make you want to dance or, at least, to smile... and the lyrics are so beautiful too...
Here, pictures which summary it :

“It’s not hard for me to love you
 Hard for me to love you
 No, it’s not a difficult thing
 No, it’s not hard for me to love you
 Hard for me to love you unconditionally
 No, it’s not hard for me to love you
 Hard for me to love you
 No, it’s not a difficult thing.
 It’s not hard for me to love you
 Hard for me to love you, because you are the world to me
 No, it’s not hard for me to love you
 Hard for me to love you
 No it’s not a difficult thing (No, it’s not a difficult thing)
 It’s not hard for me to love you
 Hard for me to love you (really it’s not hard),
 Because you are the world to me,
Yeah the world as I see it, is a remarkable place...”     

“No, I don't mean to change you

You've got it under control

You wake up each day different

Another reason for me to keep holdin' on

I'm not attached to any way you're showing up

I'm just gonna love you like the woman I love…”

grey isn't equal to dull!

I used to think that grey was sad and dull...maybe because it was the color of clouds when it rains...but I've changed my mind recently...now, grey is chic and easy-to-wear!
Why? I listened the new Jason Mraz's album (I will soon write about it, promise!or you can check my favourite songs from him), but the main part of the answer just follows :

"Grey skies clouding up the things we used to see with wide eyes
Maybe everything was meant to be this way
Will it ever change
But are we stuck here on our own
It's all gone grey..."                                  > Yellowcard
