petits papiers

battement de cil

 

There is a tree on my street that has about 500 of these beauties. Eventually one of them ended up in my living room... can someone tell me the name of this spectacular flower/tree?

 

 

 

I am about to hit the road for a week-long getaway and will see you back here very soon!

the living end

 

Montauk, once destination of east coast bohemia. There is definitely an aura there.

 

 

     

 

 

Je reviens d'un weekend éclair dans les Hamptons. Ci-dessus c'est Montauk, une toute petite ville qui acceullis jadis écrivains, artistes et intellectuels. Il y reste encore un air de bohême.

 

 

color spectrum

 

Yesterday i was running errands downtown steamy manhattan and forced to take a break from the heat, I found my way into the Lumas gallery on west broadway. I really got hooked on the Pablo Zuleta Zahr collages currently on exhibition.

 

 

gretel

 

Even if i try to stay away form the "product blog" type, once in a while i want to share with you a store or a product that is delighting my shopper senses. Gretel is the type of (web)store that initiates the "when i'll have a bigger house" kind of wishlist that we all secretly have. Lots of these objects yearn to be mine...

Un e-magasin tip-top d'objets design pour la maison. Et on n'en finit pas d'agandir sa wish list...

 

 

 

in sync with symmetry

 

The infinitely calming visual world of interior genius Michalea Scherrer. Her style draws inspiration from the clean lines of Japanese design. One of my favorite designer out there. Her aesthetic and need for tranquility deeply resonates with me.

 

 

 

 

 

Il m'arrive assez rarement d'adhérer avec tant de convictions au travail d'un décorateur d'interieur.  Michaela Sherrer, elle a ce truc qui me fait fondre.  Son style impeccable puise l'inspiration dans les lignes pures et minimalistes des intérieurs japonais.

 

 

control room

 

 

In the mood for techno-inspired abstract photography.

There is something really attractive in these two Todd Sutherland shots. Must be the absolute control factor.

 

 

 

 

Reminds me of the work of Ryan Matthew Smith for the Modernist Cuisine cookbook:

 

 

 

Extrême maîtrise de l'artifice. Une façon spectaculaire de mettre en lumière son sujet.

J'aime sans limites le travail de ces deux photographes.

 

beauté volée

 

Some of my favorite Sartorialisms. Most of you will have a déjà vu.

I like how these shots highlight the delicate nature of women. A real tribute to feminine beauty.

 

 

 

Quelques extraits de l'immense album Sartorialist. J'aime l'idée de me glisser dans la peau et le style de ces femmes. Des clichés à la hauteur de  leur beauté.
