Flickr Friday

The fact is I haven't kept my promise regarding the weekly "Flickr Friday", so I guess this is the right moment to start it again. Here are a few beautiful pictures I've discovered this week on Flickr. I am really in love with the "analog photography" trend and I find my inspiration in many of these photos. Have a nice sunny weekend!

Free People - September/October Catalog

I really love some of the looks from the latest Free People catalogues. The bohemian-folk inspiration really suits well this season and I love the colour tones. I believe your rainy days can seem more colourful if you wear prints, layers and big hats! 

My summer on paper

Here are a few pics I captured this summer. I use a Zenit E film camera. I am not a pro, I'm just doing it for fun, although I would like to get better. You can see more photos on my Flickr Photostream. Any critics are appreciated.

Forever Braids

I am still absolutely in love with braids! It's like they're never out of fashion. They offer that vintage, bohemian, classy look and they can always fix a bad-hair day! I wish I could know how to braid my hair in different styles, but hopefully in time, I'll manage to do it. 

Some of the most popular styles are: side tail, fishtail, French, boho, waterfall, Dutch, 4 stand and 5 stand. 

So, be thankful for your hair, no matter what colour, length, thickness it is and treat yourself with a nice hair-braided-style.

Fashion - Fall Inspiration

It's mostly raining in Cardiff so, it's seems pretty difficult to find something proper to dress for this weather. Here are a few inspiring looks that I found and I really like. I'm not obsessed with fashion or something. I usually like vintage-retro inspired pieces, so if I find something that I like, I buy it, no matter what fashion trend is! 

These looks are inspired by the Asos, Urban Outfitters, Ruche, Anthropologie and street fashion! I like the strong colours which create a visual effect - especially yellow and turquoise.

Also, a great fashion inspiration comes from worldwide bloggers. I just discovered Lady Moriarty and Pauline.

Flickr Friday

I wanted to create a weekly post and I think Flickr Friday will do it! It makes sense - I spend a lot of time discovering new young photographers on Flickr and on Tumblr so everyday I fall in love with brand new photographs! New ideas, new visions, new perspectives, new beauties. 

One of the themes I adore is purity - long haired girls wearing white dresses and floral crowns, blue skies and pure green nature. 

…and at once I knew I was not magnificent

I could see for miles, miles, miles

The Owlery

The Owlery is a room on the top of Hogwarts Castle's West Tower, where the school owls and the owls belonging to students live during the school year. I really love this word because it compresses the cuteness of all owls in just one place. Many people fear them (oclophobia), but I adore them! I find them mysterious, beautiful, hilarious, intelligent and cute at the same time. Maybe they look a little beet scary.. but still, look at them!  

 I don't know why, but I considered myself an owl for as long as I remember. This is probably because I'm very sleepy during the day and I find myself very active and perspicacious in the night time. Also, they are kinda solitary and a little bit proud. I don't think I ever saw an owl in the middle of the woods - I only had the opportunity to hear them hooting. I hope I will get the chance to see an owl in "real life" (wildlife). 

Being human is exhausting, so I'll be an owl!
