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

Drunken satellites in the orbit of our earth

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

It's a cold world outside
Oh anyway, it's gonna stay that way
So if I keep myself from moving on ..."            > Jake Bugg

walking on a line

Dotting manicure are (so) nice, but I wanted to try something more...straight...

Come on, let’s go back in time
I feel like I’m walking on a line ..."  > Pony Pony Run Run

summer vibrations

"There's no one in town I know

You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends..."    > Jimmy Eat World

"proof that love's not only blind but deaf..." (nor mute...)

I really do love music festivals...especially when I can see ones of my favourite bands... This year : Phoenix and Arctic Monkeys! but it's also a great way to discover new ones :)

+ Reptile Youth, Palma Violets, Two Gallants, ...

 



fun & sun

How to spend great summer days :


+  Franz Ferdinand's new songs ( I was waiting for this new album for 3 years and it will be released August 26th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

 

“I wrote your name

Upon the back of my hand
Slept upon it then I woke up
With it backwards on my face

Reading forwards

From my mirror to my heart…”   > Franz Ferdinand

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  

do(s)t

Just a post about the cutest Michigan's guy : Andrew Dost, from Fun. (I saw two weeks ago...here) who plays the piano and the trumpet and writes music too (!! unable to do that myself..., so wow!)


PS: Sorry for the silly wordplay :)

pictures from Pinterest and from me

"You swore and said
We are not
We are not shining stars
This I know
I never said we are

Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows
To know you can never look back

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on
...
Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we're miles away
So we'll come
We will find our way home..."    > Fun.

“If you fall asleep down by the water

Baby, I'll carry you all the way home
You've gotta believe me when I say
When I say the word "forever"
And whatever comes your way
We'll still be here together
I know it's hard, I know it's hard
But I understand you, just take my hand  …”   > The Drums

I love braids, but I don't do them properly, so here one which was made by a very good friend! Merci Loulou!!

 

 

“How come everyone knows you before they meet you?

…
How I wish I knew you
How I wish I knew you from before
'Till I die
Burn the avenues, until the city unfurls
What won't we have to know?”          > Phoenix

I’ll die for (tie) dye

Because I think that we have to color this dull atmosphere of winter...no?

 

 

 

 

 

“Sunny days

Oh Where have you gone?

I get the strangest feeling you belong.

Why does it always rain on me?

Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

Why does it always rain on me?

Even when the sun is shining

I can't avoid the lightning

Oh, where did the blue skies go?

And why is it raining so?

It's so cold…”                            > Travis

Is tomorrow the end of the world?
I don't believe it..., but so, here are my latest drawings...

Even when we're falling apart..."   > The All-American Rejects
