Club Kids

In the days when there's no such thing as lack of editorials, just the opposite, a really special shoot where all pieces fall together are rare. It's no secret, I love subcultures, all kinds of them, so if a themed editorial pops up, I'm all excited. Most of the subcultures have already been covered several times, but club kids are still on the low. I fell in love with this editorial, shot by Jason Kim. More is more in my eyes and this is a kind of perfect styling that makes my heart beat faster. I hope you enjoy this editorial as much as I do!

Inspiration

Sorry, for the absence. I'm without outfit pictures at the moment and quite busy.

New outfit post will follow this weekend. Btw, I'm finally officially graduating this Friday.

This is just what inspires me at this moment.

Summertime Sadness

What do you do when you're bored? I usually read, draw or DIY stuff.

Today I finally got around to make a flower crown. Because, obviously, every girl deserves a crown.

After I was done I felt inspired or just still was bored and decided to take pictures with it. I used Lana Del Rey as inspiration. I don't think we've got the same look or vibe, but a little tribute wouldn't hurt anyone. I really admire her style and looks. Even though, not natural, she looks beautiful. I'm not an anti-surgery freak, so whatever floats her gorgeous boat. A real fan of her music too, probably listened to her record for 100 times already. Need to get my hands on that vinyl! Hope to get to see her live soon!

Here we go!

I'm content with how the pictures and my crown turned out. Need to get more flowers soon!

On the other side

Lately I've been feeling that urge to get away, just pack bags and leave. Sure, I have my reasons, problems and responsibilities to run from. The surroundings and reality has been pushing on me and stressing me out for too long. I just need a quite vacation. Me and my love on the road, somewhere near an ocean and wild nature would be the ideal change of scenery. To go and finally find that sun, wherever it might be. The farther the better. Unfortunately it isn't written in the stars for this year. Hope next year will bring that needed change and some financial possibilities as well!

Not all is bad though, I still look forward to shape our future home. I'm so full of ideas, sometimes I'm scared I even want too much. I usually do...

Floral dream

Just a quick post to cheer myself up on this grey day.

What girl doesn't love flowers?!
Flowers mark that unique spring feeling for me, which unfortunately has been absent.
Let's enjoy the visuals.

Coachella and some other dreams

Here I am again, at last. Not much has changed except the fact that I've been working my ass off the last few weeks. The weather is horrible and I'm sick again, the usual. The last week of my internship is kicking in tomorrow. It was an intense, but a pleasant ride which'll stay with me for a long time.

But back to blogging here, I'm not gonna lie, I didn't have the time to snap new pictures and the weather wasn't much helpful too. Hoping to post some new stuff next weekend.

For now a dose of escapism. Daydreaming is an inexpensive, but a frustrating hobby at times.

I'm sunny person, even if you can't tell at first, I love warm temperatures, the summer with ice cream and it's warm nights. Summer also means festivals. Luckily we have some great festivals in Belgium that combine a lot of different genres for every music lover. But in festival land there's something known as Coachella.

Over the years it has become more than a festival, but the place to spot some of the biggest celebrities (I'm screaming DITA here) or being spotted yourself. Not a lot of festivals around here are as trendy (/hipster like) as Coachella. A desert as a setting is pretty neat too, you don't have to fear you'll be hit by pouring rain and pools of mud as a result.

The most important thing is still music, though! What I like about Coachella is that it combines a lot of different artists and genres. Perfect for musical omnivores such as myself.

There's only one minor detail here, it's located on another continent, but nothing that a plane and a fat bank account can't cross these days. So while I wait for a winning ticket or an inheritance from a distant millionaire relative, I go through this celebrities snap shots and dream away once more.

Dreaming about the sun burning on my skin, the smell of grass and some great music blazing from every corner. That's what freedom looks like to me.
