One of my new favourite blogs - miss moss - provides me with amazing music mixes. On one of them I found the song “Somebody That I Used To Know” by Gotye feat. Kimbra.

I love the way this music video is made and the way their voices sound together…

Anyway, About Me. Erm…Okay. Information!- 30, Belgium, music. And stuff

Piano Love

“The piano is able to communicate the subtlest universal truths by means of wood, metal and vibrating air.” (Kenneth Miller)

Since I was a kid I loved to play the piano and listening to Erik Satie, Yann Tiersen, Alexandre Desplat, Debussy and many more amazing piano composers always gives me goosebumps.

Here are some images of this beautiful instrument…via pinterest

Ashkan Honarvar Collages

Thank you sfgirlbybay for posting these great collages by Ashkan Honarvar. I always loved this art form because you can create unlimited, wonderful, disturbing and fantastic images. Titus Verheijen’s description of Ashkan Honarvar’s art work is very suitable and awesome (source: ashkanhonarvar)

The saying goes that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. It occurs in places you least expect.
Revealing its art in the human body, but also cruelly absent in the presence of deformations and scars.
Ashkan Honarvar (1980) depicts an undeniable, unavoidable beauty by accepting the darker sides of human ‘nature’.

The body, torn by acts of war, exploited by the sex industry or used as a tool for seeking identity, is
the focal point of his work.This constitutes a search for a universal representation of the evil latent in every human,
providing an opportunity for reflection. His aesthetic dissection has an intriguing macabre nature,
which opens the images to interpretation.

Honarvar’s almost empiric exploration of the human condition knows no bounds. Its goal; the indefinable core.

Free People ‘Through the Decades’

Since watching Woody Allen’s ‘Midnight in Paris’ I am even more obsessed with 1920′s lifestyle and fashion. So I was really excited when I found these gorgeous photographs by David Bellemere for the 20′s chapter of Free People‘s ‘Through the Decades’ Holiday Book. The styling is amazing, I love the lighting…everything is just perfect. I am really looking forward to see more chapters of the Holiday Book…

Maison Scotch – A/W 2011 Campaign

silviajohn — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 22:17:57 +0000

That’s why I love fall! Because of the beautiful clothes you can wear. And here in Maastricht I found a great store called “Scotch & Soda” with amazing pieces for that upcoming season. The interior is amazing and the clothes are wonderful! I’m definitely going to spend a lot of time there;) And I love the women’s clothing campaign for autumn/winter 2011.

Scotch & Soda loves to make great garments that suit every individual. We want people to love their clothes and enjoy wearing them. Scotch & Soda products are of high quality, rich in detail and affordable.

The designers at Scotch spare no effort or expense at detailing and fine-tuning samples, all the way to the neatly finished interior of each garment. We invest in the product, which is typically informed by the best tried and tested classic and vintage styles, enriched with a wealth of inspiration from around the world. Though Scotch & Soda has been around since the 80s, the Amsterdam-based fashion brand as we know it today originates in a brave

new start in 2001, when three new owners joined their broad experience and shared love for making great garments. After Scotch & Soda was re-launched for Spring Summer 2002, Scotch Shrunk was added for Spring Summer 2008. Literally shrinking men’s styles to little brother or son sizes was a completely new take on kids wear, and Shrunk made waves no-one at Scotch had even dared dream of.

This success was soon followed by the launch of a women’s collection: Maison Scotch entered the market with the Spring Summer 2010 collection and it already accounts for a large part of the company’s continuous growth.
