Studio Violet

I have posted about Studio Violet, and the owners Camilla Engman and Elisabeth Dunker, before.
But their work is so cute and refreshing, I wanted to do a new post about their collaboration and their individual works!



I can't wait for their new collection, but I'm also still in love with their 'Circus Violet'....



Elisabeth's work.





Camilla's 2010 calendar.



Camilla just recently produced her amazing book 'The Suitcase serie'.
I LOVELOVELOVE it!




I am also still madly in love with Camilla's poster...
Those little guys&girls are just too cute!





Also visit Studio Violet's blog, Elisabeth's blog Fine Little Day and Camilla's website and her blog.

Bye bye Lovers.

Iain, I wrote this for you

♡

There is this very special someone, who is living his own live.
A special and intense life I guess....
The owner of the beyond beautiful and touching blog 'I wrote this for you'.
I bet most of you already know Iain and his amazing words and images...

Iain is actually one of the nominees for 'Best blogger to follow' for the Open Web Awards, which is of course a great honor for him and personally, I think he should win this because of his amazing contribution to the blogging world and because of his ability to capture things in life which make us laugh, cry, scream, hopeless and at the same time full of hope...

SO, please vote for my friend Iain and his beautiful blog here!
People who spread LOVE and beauty like he does, just deserve to win...

♡

Some beauty I stole from his blog, to share here with you...
The images are stolen from Weheartit.



You told me it'd be ok. But you were the one crying.
You told me to let go. But you were the one holding onto my shirt.

(How horribly recognizable?)



You wake up with a list of all the people you'd rather be. But you're already on everyone else's list.



I love you. I love your eyes. I love your smell. I love your hair. I love your laugh. I love your skin. I love everything inside you. And I'll try to make all the parts that I find, happy.

Because you make me happy. So much.



Don't be shy.
You can take another piece of me.
Everyone else already has.
Until there's nothing left.
Until I disappear.

Rifle Paper Co.

I just found this amazing shop, called Rifle Paper Co.
through the Flickr of the shop owner, Anna Bond!

A-MA-ZING.



















There also is a Rifle Paper Co. blog.
Enjoy!



Thank YOU!
You, my dear friends, readers, followers.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart,
for reading this blog,
and for believing in this blog.

Words

I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want to? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited.
~Sylvia Plath~

(Found at this amazing blog)

I truly can relate to this quote from Mrs. Plath.
However, I want to add some words, if I may be this free...

Yes, we are all horrible limited and yes, this sometimes scares the hell out of me.
But no, I don't want this to make me feel limited. I want it to make me feel unlimited, because I can never read all the amazing books that are written, but I can read the beautiful books that cross my path and carry their words in my heart.
No, I can never be all the people I want to be, but I can be all the things I am and the things that are still hidden inside of me.
No, I will never be able to create all the beauty that other people can.
But, how beautiful is that?
We ALL create our own beauty and share it with others.
Yes, I am more than grateful for that.

Lyell LOVER

I know all bloggers post about Lyell.
No wonder, it's beyond beautiful.

F/W 09 collection













Let's celebrate being a woman...




To be honest,
I love this 2006 collection even more...
I guess I'm just not that 'fashionista' (creepy word)
who follows all new trends and shows...

The main thing to me is that clothes make you feel beautiful,
even a bit special,
it doesn't matter if that would be a fall 09 dress or a summer 06 dress...









Isn't all the photography gorgeous?

Current collection shot by Tamara Schlesinger.

(I have soo much to post about...I don't even know where to start! I have loads of half posts I am planning to post, but I keep on finding new beauty to post about... whaaaa!!!)

Skin

En nog voel ik je.
Nog ruik ik de geur
van jouw huid
dat aanvoelt
als dat van een kind.

Onschuldig, ongeduldig,
alsof het erop wacht
aangeraakt
en door een warme hand
geaaid te worden.

En dat was jij niet
dat was echt alleen
jouw huid.

Kippenvel.




English translation:

And still I feel you.
I can still smell
the fragrance of your skin
which feels like the skin
of a child.

Innocent, impatient,
like it is waiting
to be touched
and caressed by a warm hand.

And that wasn't you,
that was really only
your skin.

Goosebumps.
