red lipstick or how to deal with the grey weather

Lately it has been grey grey grey and rainy! Its getting alot tougher to get up in the morning, let alone get motivated when its dark almost all day. To fight this, I have started to wear red lipstick all day, as well as injecting some colour into my wardrobe. Iv even been thinking of taping the windows of the studio with this palm tree, beach wallpaper!? Hmm... For now, A huge coffee should help a bit. What do you do to keep warm and motivated in winter?

Sadly, I just lost my great new red lipstick: only one day after I bought it, and it was a really amazing one. Now I am not sure to invest again!? Its grey today though…

weddings and trees

I really love massive old trees, they look so very wise and calm. Everytime I see one, I really have to stop and appreciate it for a few moments. A wedding under a grand old tree is a wonderful idea, and you would hardly need any more decorations, perhaps just lanterns for the evening, but a tree as the one obove is both a special location and perfect decoration at the same time. I recently found a few cool wedding pictures including stunning trees. If my wedding for some reason shouldn't be under a palm tree, an oak tree would happilly do.

can we? shall we?

Artwork by Rob Ryan.

These papercut works are amazing. They would also be a great inspiration for a wedding invitation. If you are in London check out his shop: Ryantown 126 Columbia Road London E2 7RG

We are already familiar with his work from here, he designed all the packages of the great natural skincare brand Snowberry. He's even designed a DRESS for Vogue U.K. Have a look here. London tonite, yay! Hooray.

I want to be with you...

These could totally be Liv's favorite flower. When I saw this picture I really fell in love with its beauty, and as I have told you before I am not a big flower expert. I was excited to see a flower that really gets me excited, so I started googling the name and the meaning. Crown Anemone: “forsaken” and also “a dying hope” Who the f*ck did this to such a beautiful flower?! I decided that this couldn’t be right, so I did a little bit more research and voilà: “I want to be with you!” Ha! Much better. I guess the others were mistaken ; )
