above photos by ink & post

 Ah, London, how I miss you so....

Above photo from unknown source.

pretty little layers

 

I couldn''t possible edit any photos out of my little collection because I love every single one.

For those of you who have been reading my blog for some time now, know that these drawings speak my language of artistic love to a tee.

Such feminine illustrations by Australian artist Elisa Mazzone. She uses layers of lace, fabric or string to detail her delicate sketches that create a little 3D illusion and dimension. It gives her drawings a depth of detail next to the soft lines in her 2d sketch.

Pencil + watercolour wash + lace = absolute love.

Need to see more? You can also follow her blog here.

You will be able to see more of her work and what also inspires her.

a wonderwall kind of sunday

 

 I think it's just one of Sundays. Acoustic beats, soft music, sunshine with not much to say.

Rare, I know. But nevertheless, my wonderful, ordinary Sunday indeed.

someone like you

Everything about this video exudes emotion.

Her voice. Her eyes. Her actions.

The cinematography. The soft lighting. The back lighting. The sun flares.

Everything.

I can watch this over and over again.

Shame it's almost 1 am.

the august break

last year was amazing.

there were days when my photos meant more than words could ever describe, so i have been looking forward to the august break since the beginning of summer.

no rules. no pressure. just simple photography. simple captures.

i can't wait for it to start.

it's just what i need. 

my july

 

ten little things that made me smile in the first

                                                             few weeks of july :

1. June Marieezy's soulful voice and soft beats + the fact that she's pure filipino.

2. Walking + house stalking + drinking beer by Hermosa Beach with one of my favourite people.
3. Sandwiches, Mint & Lemon Water +  fresh salad by Redondo Pier.
4. Spendng a whole day in Hong Kong with my little boy.
5. Slumber parties in my room with my two boys.
6. The first family Sunday together in over a month.
7. Blue skies + the smell of the ocean.
8. Being at my goddaughter's first birthday party and hearing about her first step.
9. Finding out that my dad surprised us with tickets to see  Cirque de Solei's Varekai. Saying I'm excited is an understatement.
10. Sushi. But that always makes me smile.

Two things that made me unhappy.
1. Saying goodbye to my best friend/ cousin as her and her family move to Portland.
2. Frank Provost salon who burnt + damaged my hair.

Thank goodness the good outweigh the bad.

 

Seeing the world above the clouds

His two year old eyes couldn't grasp that we were flying.

He knew we were in the sky and above the clouds, but I could see his mind trying to process what I had just told him.

They sparkled with curiousity, they beamed with excitement but also clouded over with confusion.

Then in one moment he understood it all.
In one moment, he became Buzz Lightyear flying in the sky like a rocket.

He really did get it after all.
