happy list.

...Feed the seagulls in Long Island and write new songs in the wet sand...



I've been wanting to post up another happy list for days now and because my camera doesn't want to wake up and I think these little lists need to be a part in my blog (even though I do not own any of these photographs) here is one. Enjoy, sweeties!



Danny Roberts
This man is wonderful, his prints magical and his collabrations with Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers, Forever21, Heutchy Shoes, Lancome, and Sundance Channel's Full Frontal Fashion impressive -to say the least-. I am a frequent visitor of his blog and am dearly in love with his painting movies. I'm a fan, and I know you'll love him too.

Luly Letty
Whenever I need fashion inspiration or just feel like looking at pretty outfits, I always find myself going through Maria's magical blog. I think she's enchanting and one of those rare lovelies who look enchanting in everything. She's truly beautiful, sweet and if you didn't know her already; go click on that link and fall head over heels in love with my fashion hero. lovelovelove.

Orla Kiely
I always get this happy feeling in my stomach (yes, you know the one!) looking at these clothes; they are all perfect. It feels as if Orla has designed my dream wardrobe – I know, I know, they are quite expensive, but i’m planning on putting back some money for some serious purchases when winter comes around. What do you think about the clothes?



Tim Walker + Lily Cole
I'm almost certain that everybody must love Tim Walker. So do I, although I wasn't a huge huge fan until I saw his photoshoot with the lovely Lily Cole -she's one of my favorite actresses and ,in my opinion, one of the most beautiful models alive-. The photographs are whimsical, fairytale-ish and typical for this great photographer.

And talking of Lily Cole...
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is an odd but fantastic movie starring Lily Cole, Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, Jude Law, Christopher Plummer... And although I had to watch it twice to really understand the movie, I loved it to bits. Perhaps because of the gorgeous decor, adorable costumes, top actors, sweet scenes and smart story. Did you see it? What did you think of it? xx
 
ps; I'm off to Kenya the day after tomorrow, so no posts untill we meet again which will be about August 3th. Will miss you all to pieces!

read them- love them.

Because I'm leaving home in two weeks travelling to Kenya for 16 days and do not want you to miss me (I know: stop flattering myself) I made a little blog-reading-list for you dears.

J&L
This blog founded by the sweet Seattle couple Jay (amazing writer) and Laura (love her art to bits) is the cutest thing I've ever seen. They share their wonderful outfits and adorable adventures with the world on a way you must love. I mean, how cool is this tiny movie they made?

Wish Wish Wish
Ohh, Carrie! What can I say? You're absolutely briliant and I love you? Anyway; she is indeed wonderful, I'd ever dear to say magical and she's got style! Her blog is a little piece of heaven and has inspired me more than anything. Go over there and get blown away by her sweet posts, impeckable writing skills, drawing talent in progress (well, actually she's really good), beautiful outfits and amazing photography. I'm a fan, a huge fan.

Bardot in Blue
This cute blog givin to us (because really, it's a treat) by the lovely Haleigh, American girl in Paris, makes me so happy. I highly recommend clicking on that link, going through her archive and just enjoy the tour she gives you trough the city of lights. I adore her foodposts, she's a true photographer and you can just feel her passion for food in the pictures.

Blushing Ambition
She calls herself a "21-year-old student content with spending more money on food than clothes." and that pretty much did it for me: this girl is great. And when she said she was obsessed by the World Cup, I decided that this girl is perfection. Her blog is funny, adorable, smart, pretty and ranked very high on my favorite-blogs-list. Read her once and fall in love..

 Le Blog de Sushi
This girl is an inspirationfairy and her blog is a stunning fairytale. I LOVE HER, seriously, she's downright magical. Her posts are diamonds, her outfits pure gold and the entiry feel of her blog is wonderful. Her wardrobe is a castle filled with jewels and I'm so happy she wants to share it with all of us.

This are just a few of my favorites, don't worry; I'll be writing about more amazing blogs (such as Clothes, Cameras and Coffee) in other posts. But for now if you want more, just go take a peep at my blogroll. xx


ps: Want to be in my links-page? Feel free to let me know. :)

i'm a homesick fairy.


{via Julia (love your blog)}

After spending three days outside with my darling friend Lena reading the Virgin Suicides (for what seemed like the 100 000th time, this is probably the only book I could read over for ever, it's beautiful.) and my beloved Pride and Predjudiceliving in a tent we made in the fields with old blankets, drinking the most whimsical tea, looking how the clouds change shapes and making flower necklaces I felt like I was a fairy and now it's hard to be back home stuck doing the same things as always.. Do you ever get homesick to a place that isn't really home, but feels like it? xx

happy list.


Baking Cake
There's something about baking and the sweetness of cupcakes I just can't resist. Since school's out and I have nothing to do I've been baking cupcakes like crazy. Happily, my friends keep lots of parties where my little pieces of sugar are always welcome. Click here for baking inspiration.


Sarah McNeil
Ohh, what can I possibly say about this wonderful girl? She's immensly talented and one of my favorite artists. I found out about her via Frankie Magazine and instandly fell in love with her prints. See for youself: her flickr, portofolio and a little piece of heaven; her adorably etsy-shop.

Lovely art blogs
This magical blog by the Australian freelance illustrator called Kelly Smith is dangerously addictive, beautiful and magical. I always find myself going through her archive looking for inspiration and well, I always seem to find it there.


Cameras
I suppose I'm a little vintage camera obsessed but I just can't help it. Everytime I see one, I want to have it. Currently I have five of them, of which three are useful. My favorite is the Autographic Brownie. I bought my Browniefriend on Portobello Road (London) a couple of years ago. Whenever I use it I feel like looking through a time capsule, the thing must be 50 years old and still, it workes perfectly.

The Honey Trees
The Honey Trees are an indie pop band from California I've recently found out about. Click here for a listen. Aside from being musically gifted, aren't they just beautiful to look at as well? They're great, one of my favorites. xx
