The Watch II

Here's another still life I worked in collaboration with Daniel Wellington again. This time, for Spring/Summer. I was really inspired by the way light moves and gets into our skin. How we suddenly become new with it. How we renovate ourselves. How everything seems fresh, relaxed and natural again.

I decided to go for the Classic Glasgow watch this time, the Nato strap is a friendly reminder of summer, the sand and the ocean. It has a certain reminiscence of freedom, that we forget about sometimes. It looks casual, but it's still a very elegant and versatile piece. One of my favorites.

The folks at Daniel Wellington were kind enough (again) to create another discount code for Spring. You can use the code 'victorstonemDW' until June 15th. So yeah, you better hurry and pick your favorite one!

Radical Transparency - The Twill Snap Backpack

I feel like I've abandoned this blog. I know It's been a couple of months since my last post but honestly, I've been crazy busy these days, so I didn't have the time to post as much content as I used to. Anyway, here I am again (I think?). Okay, now let's talk about this amazing Everlane backpack that I'm obsessed about.

When this backpack arrived on the mail (around last Fall), I was a bit confused. The color was perfect but somehow it looked too big for me. At least that was my first impression. 

Once I started putting all my [unbelievable pile of] stuff inside, it started to take a better shape. Since then, it has been my main backpack for school,work and even for some of my trips.

It's just incredibly functional, my laptop fits perfect on the sleeve, the brown leather is gorgeous, and I can put all my equipment there if I'm working on a shoot. Great, no? Well, I'll write a post on how I pack soon.

Well nowadays, I'm used to strangers stoping me on the streets and claiming their love for this beautiful piece of design:

'Nice bag! Where did you get it?'. 

Yup, it's awkward sometimes; but when they ask, I answer it's from Everlane (with a really big smile on my face). Well what can I say? This backpack makes me very happy!

The watch

Happy Saturday folks!

Here's a still life shot with my new Daniel Wellington watch. Such a classic piece! isn't it? I'm loving it so far. Mine is a men's Classic Sheffield on Silver. The minimal design of this watch is simply perfect (ahhh, you know me). The face is so thin, which makes it super easy to wear and that's something I just love!

Oh, by the way; The folks at Daniel Wellington were nice enough to create a discount code for you guys! You can use 'victorstonem' to get 15% off of all their products! (valid until October 15)

Monday morning

My love/hate relationship with Monday mornings started two months ago. Sometimes I loved the idea of waking up early, you know, a fresh start. And sometimes, it was just impossible for me to get out of bed and I just wanted to stay inside all week day long.

To be honest, I don't have a 'morning routine' if that's how you call it. Sometimes I shave, eat a super good breakfast, do some exercise... And sometimes I just don't. It depends on my mood.

And you know what I find the most difficult sometimes? Shaving. There, I said it. It takes such a looonggg time for me to get a perfect shave. Sometimes it's even boring, you know? That's why I almost always skip a day (or two).

But once I found out about Prospector Co. products, I wanted to die. Seriously, they're just too good!! I really encourage you to try them. They're organic, smell great and just look at that package. They're simply to die for. The shave cream smells sooooo so so so good, it's a weird thing to say, but it reminds me a little bit of the sea. And I love that. Their K.C. Atwood aftershave is also great. GREAT! It smells like citrus and it is just so refreshing!

Oh, and the Acacia shaving brush is incredibly soft. You should try it too!

Well, I have to say, these products have completely changed the way I shave now. They leave my skin just right and clean. Just the way I like it. So yeah, I really think you guys should try them!
