In between Winter and Spring

Yesterday was the first time this year when I actually felt the smell of spring. It is so invigorating to feel the warm air and to hear the birds singing. It was a perfect day for a walk and for taking some pictures with my film camera. It's not spring yet, but it's not winter any more as well. Here are a few pictures I've found on flickr lately that make me think of spring. I hope you're having a great time.

Elie Saab - Haute Couture 2012

Lace, floral patterns, pastels, vintage influences and shimmering fabrics - this is what defines Saab's collection. It's mesmerizing and it creates a fairy-tale image. I really like the peppermint gowns in particular. Here are a few pictures from the backstage.

Nature Escape

You know that feeling when you just want to get out of home, go outside and do nothing? Just breathing air, breathing nature and breathing sun. Leaving it all behind, locked between four walls and forgeting about everything that is called "stress". Open the window, open the door, go outside, run in the forest, lay in the wet grass and feel the joy of being alive. 

Man's heart away from nature becomes hard.  ~Standing Bear

i carry your heart with me by E. E. Cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
                                  i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

TOAST - autumn and winter

I really like this video. I think is more than an advertisement or a fashion commercial. The beauty of life is created by little moments and glimpses of joy. Pure light, clear air, peace, thankfulness, nature. 

Even though the winter collection was promoted months ago, I still find it useful and inspiring.

Advent Calendar

Is that time of the year, when everybody starts listening to Christmas songs. I started a long time ago :)

Less words, less hours of sleep, less confidence. Some days are better some days are greyer. Remember that feeling when you know what silence sounds like? Just missing the "silence of sleep".

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
