Would you rather be strolling down avenues, admiring your made-up looks through glass store windows or would you rather be somewhere by the lakeside, contemplating your appearence as reflected through the surrounding nature? champs elysees – xoxo | the surface – nikolinelr
As I was browsing through Gilt, I fell in love with their Industrial-Rustic collection for the home. I just had to compile some of my favourite pieces that I would die to have in my future studio or kitchen. I really love metal, rusty look, partly because the material reminds me of a time where form and function preceded the unnecessary frills and excess, but also I find that corrosion brings in a new kind of a warmth, where man-made metals are weathered and aged into lovely earth tones.

This week, we captured similar shapes in contrasting settings. From feeling austere, disciplined to feeling indulgence, liberated, from passive gazing to active consumption, from bare solids to frothy overflows.

It’s hard to settle down after a busy week, but you need to. It’s the weekend, so relax and have a cup of something you enjoy and share this moment in the company of dear friends or someone you love.
I usually don’t really much sensitivity in the fashion field, but this collection by Karla Spetic really stood out to me. I think what sold me is the model (she’s so gorgeous, I want her hair) and the Roy Lichtenstein pop art prints in combination with leopard and sheer skirting to create simple yet sophisticated designs.

Thanks for being there and sharing every moment and emotions you could possibly have with me. No image or words can truly express how I feel. But I’ll say this: you’re mine and I’m yours so lets keep it that way for a long, long time.

I’ve always been interested in the spacial relations between people. I would love to explore the contrasts or similarities of two completely different geographies and the type of culture we’ve immersed ourselves in depending on where we are. Hence welcome to the first blog post of this new series called Dear Friend. A photo response series between Weijia and I, featuring photos taken by me and her at different time, place and settings. Our photos will always be taken with consideration and in reflection to the topic we’ve chosen for that week, sometimes I’ll start the topic, other times she will, every week’s different and spontaneous. This way I can get a peak of the adventures she’s taken and be super jealous but inspired; same way I can remind her a little bit of home and let her know that a friend from afar misses her dearly.
I have a really bad habit of constantly snacking on food whenever I’m working in front of the computer. I’m not a night owl at all, I need my tea, midnight snack and really good music to keep me awake. Somehow food always taste the best at midnight, wouldn’t you agree?
