Nature Breeze

Sunday Morning ...
I love seeing the natural beauty in the morning. Green grass, weeds, blue sky with white clouds, birds flying, and the sun had just risen.

Today I did a photoshoot in the midst of natural beauty. Very exciting and fun. I wear thrifted nude blazer (I love this color), printed white tee, rolled-up pants and one of my favorite shoes " Marc " by Robinet Wonders with a unique design because there are fringe with brown color. And also nerd glasses as an accessory. Also don't miss a small sling bag that I got from 16DS (a local brand). Actually the bag instead of plastic bags when I buy products from them.
Have a great weekend ...

Davidelfín Autumn/Winter 2011 “Diogenes Syndrome”

The Diogenes syndrome, which can also be called senile squalor syndrome, was noted in 1966 as a disorder that is characterized by self-neglect, anti-social behavior, hoarding, and other such compulsions

The disorder derived its name from the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes of Sinope (modern-day Turkey)—a Cynic and minimalist.

Diogenes was bold character, who never feared going against the grain or attacking corruption.

He finally moved to the big metropolis of Athens to defy the city-state system, advocating the return to the simplicity of nature.

His name has since resurfaced throughout the millennia in literature, art, and now fashion!

Roberto Verino—the Picasso of Spanish Fashion

(Manuel) Roberto Verino was born 1945 in Verín, Ourense, Spain, and began showing his collections at Madrid’s Cibeles just two years after having studied Fine Arts and Business in Paris.

Now nearly 30 years later, Roberto has received awards like best designer of Spain and has launched a line of eyewear, as well as fragrances, watches, ceramics, and wines.

Simple and sophisticated, Roberto Verino designs are infused with romance and culture.

Noteworthy is Verino’s guiding principle in life—the words of Picasso: “Inspiration is very important but it should find you hard at work when it arrives.”

ANNTIAN Autumn/Winter 2011 “Crystal Inside”

“Crystal Inside” carries away from cold, icy winter days outside with crystal clear air and gives in the longing for coziness and comfort -for being inside.

The Interior of one’s home is in focus now—there are all these things that make you feel at home and comfortable that allows you to contemplate.

Objects you’ve come across over the years and that happened to be beloved ones. Things of no real value, just full of “meaning”, thoughts and memories of your own... Pillows, books, rugs and blankets, plants, stoles, tea & pastries...

On this basis graphic elements of the collection are inspired by ornaments, patterns of rugs, crystals, geometric arrangements to be found in “still lifes”.

Colors are earthy, brown tones, black and white, plus strong highlights like red and pale neon green, accompanied by a fresh pale blue.

Patterns are based on the approach of “involving” blankets and scarves in garments and silhouettes - patterns developed out of “wrapped” blankets.

The composition: series of wool coats, jackets and trousers…some printed jerseys, and an ensemble of knit, being important in the line.

Alongside the clothing line the collection includes pillows, blankets, rugs, printed porcelain dishes & tea sets, plus the crystal-porcelain jewelry line and the winter boot.

See the whole collection here.

Courteney Cox Relax for Swim in the Pool in Hawaii

It's a hard life being an internationally famous actress.

Just ask poor old Courteney Cox who not only had to work on the idyllic island of Hawaii but then had the misfortune of being able to relax in the sun between scenes. And even when filming was over, she couldn't resist one final dip in the pool before heading back to Los Angeles.

Cox, 46, was snapped enjoying her final day on the island relaxing by the pool with her six-year-old daughter Coco yesterday. The pair swam and larked about together as they cooled off from the hot Hawaiian sun in the water. (source : www.dailymail.co.uk)

Courteney Bass Cox (born June 15, 1964) is an American actress, who first achieved fame for her role as Monica Geller on the NBC sitcom Friends.

L.G.R RAW Limited Edition

The Raw limited edition is the combination of a rough, unpolished frame with a sophisticated polarized lens, developed exclusively for L.G.R.

The visual contrast can be seen through the combination of the dark opaque frames and deep blue mirrored lenses.

Offering the latest techniques in mineral glass production, this collection makes for a unique eyewear experience.

The collection consists of 4 models, presented all together in an elegant black leather case. Each style is limited to 100 pieces.

The distinctive element of this limited edition is the “L.G.R Pola.Neophan” lenses, which were specifically developed for L.G.R.

Neophan lenses were invented in the 1940’s for fighter pilots, in order to increase the vision’s perception of color and the contrast of image (color enhancement).

This is possible through the chemical element neodymium, which is added to the fusion of glass.

It allows light transmission to be selectively filtered, therefore enhancing certain colors and contrast.

Check out the models here.

Want to Look Sexy as an Aussie: Try Tribe!

After years of research, Tribe was launched in 2008 as an underwear label that would make men look sexy and masculine, all the while feeling soft and comfortable.

Since the underwear line resembled swimwear, Tribe launched their line of swim suits a year later.

Now, this 100% Aussie brand has launched a collection of swimwear for spring/summer 2011 that should be a major hit in the Europe!

The collection ranges from simple geometric styles to Hawaiian patterns, all in several cuts.

The swim shorts with the contrasting waistband are particularly fun for the beach, but as a competitive swimmer my favorites are the swim briefs!

Have a look at more sexy swimwear here.

Urban Legend

This afternoon I went to Kota Tua to create a new photoshoot. This is the second time I went there. Lots of nice places to be used as a location photoshoot. Not one that many brides whomake pre wedding photos here. Here is also often used as a place-making video clips.

I found a site that fits here and I choose the background of the wall of a building that was nearly destroyed. Color the walls a mixture of orange and baby pink.

I wear a t-shirt from a local brand called Giffa Ind. About three days ago I get it for free. Love the shirt, really comfortable. Thank you once again Giffa Ind.
