summer outfit

= heat + sun + vacation

"The finest clothes
that you can find
dressed in my coat I'm feeling fine
I wanna shine
I'll shine so hard
I'll stand apart
these foolish ways
I know my place
my time is now
altough we're tongue tied
and breathless
we won' let out worries
dictate who we are
so let's throw out the old doubt
we won't let our worries
dictate who we are
don't forget who you are..."    > Miles Kane*




*his new album is great! :)

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

white light

I borrowed this polish to my mum and completely love it (especially with sun-tanned skin : perfect for summer)!

 

 

“And you would go to Mykonos

With a vision of a gentle coast

And a sun to maybe dissipate

Shadows of the mess you made…”   > Fleet Foxes

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  

"R U mine?" I wanna know

I'm really really really really happyyyyyyyyyy  to I have some tickets to see Arctic Monkeys live at a festival nearby!!!!

Yes, I already told you about my love for Alex Turner (here and here) and when I listened to their last hypnotic song (Do I wanna know) I had an auditory orgasm... I ♥  him and his amazing voice !!  So, if he agrees, I'm his!  ♥

♥  ♥  ♥

“I dreamt about you nearly every night this week

How many secrets can you keep?
Cause there’s this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow
When I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee
…
And I’m sorry to interrupt
It’s just I’m constantly on the cusp
Of trying to kiss you
I don’t know if you feel the same as I do
We could be together if you wanted to…”         >  Arctic Monkeys   

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

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.




* nail polishes = Mavala / Catrice / OPI

My new musical crush : Andy Burrows!
This blond English guy is an ex-member of Razorlight, We are Scientists and now works in solo, what I love!

“If I had a heart,

 I would've let you go
 And if I had a heart.
 Well I wonder would I know
 That we're still miles away
 Still running and hiding
 If I had a heart,
 Was good to you,
What good would that do now?”    > Andy Burrow
