And... I'm back!

It's been a while, gonna need to get back into the habit of blogging, and more importantly stick to it!

This is my first week off in forever so you can imagine that tons has happened since my last appearance (for example, I moved!)!

On my check list: Cannes, Calvi, St. Petersburg, Porto Vecchio, and so much more!

I have literally not stopped until now, and it's not even over!

Will be updating my photo diary, xxN., too, much to share!

Anyway, it's good back!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!

Pastel Palette

If I could dress my immediate mood, this would be it.
Waves of beautiful chaotic splatter of faded pastel colours flowing over my body.

As if the dress was grown on you, like wearing nature.

Or a melted Degas.

Spring Cleaning

Though it came a bit early, (am definitely not complaining!), Spring is officially here!

Maxwell's Silver Hammer

Photos: Unknown & Beau Grealy

Am going completely mad!

My neighbours have been renovating over the last month and I'm about this close to punching a hole in the wall and ripping the hammer out of their hands.

Is 8h30 in the morning a decent hour to start banging... I think not!

Song of the day.

Dazed & Confused

Illustration by Noemi Sunshine Ferst

Last night, lovely friend Kelly Smith unveiled her masterpiece submission to a competition held by Dazed & Confused.

She immediately inspired me to attempt my own take on the Dazed challenge.

Dazed & Confused have selected 10 covers from the last decade and have offered them to us illustrators from all around the world to take them do what we please to them.

Unfortunately, my sweet Kelly informed me that the closing date was today and told me to get cracking!

And that's exactly what I did!

Though it was a race against time, I managed to make my modest contribution. I would have loved to have more time to think about it, let a few ideas flutter in my head, eventually develop them, but it wasn't meant to be.

So may I present to you, my last minute homage to the divine Karen Elson and this great magazine!

Hope you like it.

My Funny Valentine

Photo: Fab & me by Fabien de Serres

Fab and myself aren't too hot on the whole card company holiday, love should be celebrated whenever you feel like it, not on just one specific day!

So here's my Valentine to you and I hope you'll enjoy it every other day too.

Song of the day.

Ella Fitzgerald - My Funny Valentine

McQueen

We've lost another great artist today.

He pushed the boundaries of fashion into art.

He was a true visionary.
