autumn girl

This is my favourite season, I love everything : colors, smells, dull skies, cold sun, hot chocolate, cosy clothes and many more!

"It's not right for you,
If you really have to think about it..."     > The Script

I’ve left the cold of my winter for summer

Yes, summer and sun are finally there!

 

 

“And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Cooling out for the rope
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn over and over
The mountrains sigh…”       > Ed Sheeran

 

what is this thing...?

I know I've not made a music review for a long time...(last was in September).

This winter, I was listening to the radio when I heard a voice that I already knew, but couldn't name whose it was... : Tom Smith *, vocalist of Editors (I saw them once in live, few years ago, but didn't really begin to listen to them properly since now...).
Their last album is gorgeous and romantic (look at that beautiful picture cover!)! There is all kinds of songs and I really appreciate Tom's voice which is deep, clear and responding perfectely to violins...





Deezer

Joshua Radin -  "cross that line" / "with me" / "Like they used to" / "your rainy days"

 Cause we're out of it.

 We're out of it…” 

 

> Editors 

*Tom Smith also worked with Andy Burrows on Smith&Burrows project   :)

cold is coming...

but I love that dull, red-coloured, cold days of November...

"I went back, I went back to your love
And I felt so many wrongs
That I wasted on you by the crowd
And I called, you called me
And I whispered your name
I went home, we stared blank
To the pages I loved

Well, I just wanna compliment your soul
I just wanna compliment your soul
Yeah, I just wanna compliment..."

'eternal optimistic' & sketches & music

'Eternal Optimistic' is my favourite Essie nail polish! I was searching  this shade for a long time and this one is just perfect...besides that I just fell in love with Essie itself...

How I can summarize it: soft pink = classy and girly

 

"Take a bunch of optimists, and drop ‘em in the same boat

I don’t really gotta' take so long - take so long

but I'm missin’ all the times in the past

when I couldn’t see your face at all..."                  > Hoodie Allen






* jeans = H&M / top = Mango / Inail polishes = Essie, Mavala

winter sleep

How I like spending my winter :

 

winter playlist:

"This is world that we live in

This is the world that we live in

Well maybe I was mistaken
I heard a rumor that you quit this day and age
Well maybe I was mistaken..."                 > The Killers

 

 

*necklace = Bijou Brigitte / Tee = H&M / socks = American Apparel

october art

What I've made in the month...and what I've listened too! ♡

 

 

“Warm October nights

 You came and cuddled next to me, baby yeah yeah yeah
 Our noses brushed so close
 I wished it was our souls
 Drifting off to sleep
 I could hear the little snores you made watching eyes shut tight
 Like doors to something sweeter where you rest…”                                   > Yellowcard 





*necklace = I am / Nail Polish = Mavala (Black Velvet) / Jeans = Levi's

Let’s drive to the sunset again…

Rock'n'Rain

Blue sky doesn't exist since my last post and it is still raining... Nevertheless I am lucky for 2 things :
1) there are at least 50 shades of grey (haha, I didn't mean to) in the clouds. That's so beautiful, I think!
2) I still live in my parents' house and my dad has a huge collection of CDs and vinyls and I completely enjoy listening to them during the whole afternoon, with a cup of chai tea, some raspberry chocolate and a book (If you could see me now by Cecelia Ahern, for example)!!!

This is the list of tracks that combines songs I've discovered and really like and the favourite ones of my dad(OK, there are so many more for him ( I didn't have time to listen to everything...), but I choose one per artist that we really appreciate)

"We get the dreams that we deserve
The magazines that we deserve
Page one and three that we deserve
The joy and the pain that we deserve
The sun and the rain that we deserve
The material gain that we deserve
We get what we deserve
...
We get what we want if we really want it
We get what we want if we're really honest
You know what you are
You know what you want
You know what you deserve..."   > Marillion




* nail polish = H&M
