In the morning" Razorlight
I finally got my hands on Street: the nylon book of global style (street photography book from the editor of Nylon magazine), and I just cant put it down.
Its so cool. All the real people in cool clothes.
Paris just seemed so cool in the photographs captured in the book. Its like a city with a good mixture of new and old things.
"The best things about Paris are the everyday markets, the piano concerts in the St. Julian le Pauvre Church, and the coffee and cigarettes and flowers and chocolat chaud in the St. Germain des Pres", a quote from a random girl on the Paris streets, from the book.
Its like, I can just imagine the stone architecture bathed in yellow sunlight, with the colourful flowers at one corner of the street, and the aroma of coffee wafting from Parisian cafes.
At the same time with different sorts of French people clad in cool minimalist styled clothes, glued to the newest iPods in the market.
Its like a city where u can hang around a fish market and still wear Chanel boots, and not look overdressed.
Or u can like wear a T-shirt and shorts and drink coffee at the sidewalks and look cool.
What I would give to go to Paris.
Speaking of Paris, a new cool film is coming out, Paris je t'aime (or Paris, I love you).
Filled with a long list of cast, such as Elijah Wood, Marianne Faithfull, Miranda Richardson, Ludivine Sagnier(from Swimming Pool), Maggie Gyllenhaal, Wes Craven, Natalie Portman, Emily Mortimer and more.

I'm so happy Little Miss Sunshine got nominated. Its like finally, the best picture nomination list should not only consist of serious films. It deserves to win. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Lola stars and stripes" The Stills
A series of photographs that chronicles the life of one of the greatest designers, Hedi Slimane.
His online diary is like a visual journal.
Shot in black and white, the photographs are mainly centering on the people around him, which also means plenty of eye candy (if one were to take a look at the Dior Homme runway models, you would get what i mean).
http://www.hedislimane.com/diary/index.phpIsnt it funny, how when people are just busy with school and all, and u start thinking of all the things you can do if u're not bogged down with work.
I was like, at the beach the other day doing my photography assignments and I was just like thinking, gee, if only i can like just sit down, relax and enjoy like all those people over there. Its like the beach is so cool. With its smell of cold air (which really reminds me of Ireland), the breeze, and people frolicking in the water or just fishing.
I could have like done it during my holidays?
I swear i'm going to force Jiyi and the rest for a picnic one day during our break.
