PERSOL 714

Such a classic! And so well designed, no wonder why they've been on my wishlist for a few months now. The Folding 714 Persol is one of the best sunglasses alive. Well, at least for me they're super cool.

These sunglasses were first introduced in the 1960s and they became even more popular when Steve McQueen wore them in "The Thomas Crown Affair". You know, that guy is just the epitome of cool (alongside with Paul Newman, Alain Delon, etc)*

So, now that summer is around the corner and the sun is bright as f*ck. I think it's just the perfect time to get them.

What do you think about the Steve McQueen's Persols? Yay or nay?

*I have a long list of icons, I'll post it one of these days.

Stills with L'œil

Oh, I'm so happy! As I told you here, swedish store L'œil sent me two beautiful bracelets a few weeks ago to take pictures of them and post them on Instagram.

It's like some kind of lookbook. The idea was to arrange some still life with a minimalist and clean vibe, which is what I'm doing lately! So as you can imagine, it felt very natural and easy to create these sets. I really had a lot of fun shooting all the photos. Of course I'll be posting more soon, and you can go visit my Instagram (where you'll find more).

And that's it for now. Let me know what you think about the photos! :)

You can buy L'œil bracelets here.

Spring cool

You know what... I'm still on vacations! Crazy right?! Not for me lol, I'm feeling a little bit too lazy these days.

Well, anyway... Every season, I always make some plans. Something like an update of what's going on and some things I'd like to do. Like the lazy update, remember? Well, since I'm on vacations I decided to make a list for this Spring.

And not only about things I'd like to do or try, but also some commandments to stay cool this season (even when I'm not lol) Ok, here it is:

  • Relax my silhouette. I'm a bit tired of everything fitting perfectly. I'd love to try a more relaxed and effortless style for this season. Untucked shirts, comfortable footwear... I'll work on that.
  • Focus on my illustration. Yeah, I've been having a bit of a hard time posting my illustrations here. That's why I posted this one today. I wasn't really feeling quite inspired to draw anything, but then, it's not only about inspiration but also about working hard!
  • Go out. To be honest the only place I go (when I'm not on vacays) is the university. Like really, it's a little bit tiring, I feel like I need to go out and have more fun! Especially since I'm trying to find cool places around town to take photos. We'll see. 
  • Run everyday. Aahah, I'm not sure if this is going to happen. I mean I love running, but like I said... I'm just too lazy these days, ugh! Okay I know that's not an excuse. Sorry. I'm starting today.
  • Buy more classics. The other day I realized I'm missing a couple classic pieces... Like white sneakers for example, I've been thinking about the Adidas Stan Smith these days, they're pretty cool.
  • Shoot film. I've been dying to get this camera. It's an instant camera, and I want to have it so badly so I could post some film photos here! That would be fantastic.

Aaaaand that's basically the list for now. If something new comes up I'll make sure to tell you about it :) in the meantime, I'll just try to do all these things. So yeah, wish me luck. Now tell me about you? Anything planned for this season?
