Lonely Boy

If I could wish just one thing, I would definitely wish going to Coachella. Because Coachella isn't only the best music festival ever, it's a lot more. It's a must for every Californian girl, you can show your style, spot the most stylish people in this planet and have any kind of amusement you can imagine. Boday painting, fire, tattoos, dance, boho hats, feathers, friends, excitement. Everything. That is the reason why, at least once, I must go there and have the time of my life.

Check out one of Coachella 2012 highlight artists, The Black Keys. You can listen to their hit Lonely Boy here. Or if you rather listen to it live at Coachella enter here.

Happy Friday and I hope you enjoy the weekend!

Touching

Cupcakes, aka fairy cakes, are small individual cakes, similars to muffins but with a delicious topping. They were mentioned for the first time in American Cookery by Amelia Simmons, the year 1796. Since then, cupcakes have become a very popular cake, eaten by the girls of Sex and the City and nowadays celebrities, such as Emma Watson, Katy Perry, Katherine Heigl and, in summary, everyone who appreciates their super sweet taste. Sometimes, I like to bake some cupcakes, so here's the result of my last ones.

 

 

Today, we listen to Touching by Kakkamaddafakka, you can found it here. It's a great song and it cheers you up in a second!

Dear Prudence

Today I want to share with you a list of my favourite films ever. I have seen them like thousands of times and I never get tired of them. For me cinema it's a big thing. It can make you live other lifes, see the world from a different point of view or even help you to solve your daily problems. Yes, cinema means a lot and it can affect you, change you. If you finish watching a feel as you started, that's not a good film. So let me bring you aboard a wonderful boat, we can sail through different sorts of stories and feel.

In no particular order:

1. Across the universe, a hippie fantasy set during the 60s and 70s. It mixes love, ideals, morality and philosophy, all surrounded by The Beatles' music. I love how everything is full of references and memorable quotes. Fall in love with Jude and Lucy, and notice the magic spoon brought by Bono, singing I'm the Walrus. I'm sure you won't miss any of the epic songs of this legendary band!

2. Into the wild. Please note - do not watch this film during existential crisis or you will be tempted to run away to the nature and never come back. I cannot say anything about this film. It's just perfect, it really changes you, you wish you were Christopher McCandless. It's really worth watching, it should be in every Bucket List.

3. Pearl Harbor. War, love, tragedy, friendship, honor, life. Pearl Harbor it's about all of that, and a lot more. The fact that it involves the famous Pearl Harbor attack gives the film more realism. Your eyes will begin to water from the first minute, then you will cry. Moreover, seeing Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett shirtless is always interesting.

4. Juno. The perfect indie comedy. Ellen Page became a big inspiration for me after this film. It manages the topic of teen pregnancy in a very novel way. Realistic and moving, but especially really funny. At some moments you wonder how they can mix so well hilarious quotes with the deep feeling that they truly hide. Make sure you watch it while eating ice-cream or junk food.

5. Midnight in Paris. I consider this film a master piece. Everything is made carefully to make you travel back in time to the Roaring Twenties. An ode to the bohemian, every boho will picture himself as Gil. I was impressed on how well Woody Allen gets across his message, but at the same time creates such an enjoyable romantic comedy that involves famous artists and writters, such as Dalí, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Picasso, Matisse, Buñuel. Not in vain it won the Best Script Oscar. Just lovely.

6. Pulp Fiction. I won't say anything about this film, it's just unnecessary. Just watch it, please.

Last but not least, today's song is I don't wanna pray, by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, an American Band of indie rock and neo-psychedelia led by Alex Ebert. They really impressed me when I discovered them, and I recommend you to listen to their full album Here. For the time being, you can listen to I don't wanna pray here.

Antidotes

Anyone who thinks that knows something about fashion must follow MAFFASHION, a blog which is in the top ten of the fashion blogs. Juliett Kucynska runs it, and she is simply awesome. She is beautiful, stylish and a trendsetter. The way she dresses, the way she lives, her eyes, her hair... Everything about her is just charming.

 

She is the most inspiring girl for me, like a modern it girl. She is not a Victoria angel, she is not a cheerleader, she is the kind of girl your parents don't want you to meet. A rebel behind a pretty blond hair. Juliett is so down to earth and confident, and can look gorgeous either in jeans and a jumper or in a designer dress. She can wear either vertigo high-heels or sneakers. Multifaceted and talented, she is a blogger and a muse. She colaborates with a lot of brands, like Black Milk, Mango, H&M or Sanoflore. You can usually spot her in magazines like KMAG.

 

You can follow her in Facebook, bloglovin, her Youtube channel, Lookbook dot nu and Instagram (@maffashion_official).

 

It's impossible to choose among her photos, because they are all stunning. But I have chosen some of them to urge you to look for more.

 

 

Suorce: MAFFASHION.

 

Tonight we listen to Foals. They are a rock band from Oxford. I discovered them through Skins' soundtrack, their debut album was released on March, 2008. Its title is Antidotes and I love all the songs in them, it's so relaxing, the perfect background to prim oneself up. You can listen the full album here. My favourite song in it is Hummer (47:39).

White coat

Black Milk Clothing is one of best brands ever. Under the motto "Give me nylon or give me death", designer James Lillis has been creating during many years awesome leggings with nylon lining. BMC has turned out to be a phenomenon, and Black Milk Girls a urban culture.

 

Now, BMC produces swimsuits, catsuits, bodysuits, dresses, skirts, tops, shoes and, of course, leggins. Coolest leggins ever. Patterned with nebulas, crosses, retro games or church-inspired prints. All Black Milk Girls share their collections with the world, looking so special and stunning.

I just love this Australian brand and it brought me to my favourite it girl, Juliett Kuczynska. But I will write about her in my next post. Today.

 

Here are some of the images people send to BMC, which show the spirit of the brand. Make sure you get one BMC garment, cause it's a MUST in every wardrobe!

Today we listen to White Coat, by Foxes. A great song that will surely inspire your leggins choice. You can listen to it here, and check out the music video too because it's so overwhelming.

Radiocake

Happy birthday Maya! Today it's my best friend's birthday, so I baked a cake inspired in the vinyl of OK Computer, by Radiohead, which you can listen here.

It's a simple cake, covered with chocolate and red cupcake icing. I also used white icing to write the seventeen, and silver pearls to decorate it. Obviously, she loved it, wouldn't you?

This is just a mini-entry, you can check out today's entry above!

Across the universe

Today I want to talk about Isabelle Ida Küster. She is a blogger, musician and trendsetter. She studied literature and theatre in the university of Hildesheim, Germany, where she lives nowadays. She defines herself as a "Bohemian. Dreamer. Casual Writer. Vintage lover".

Isabelle is such and inspiration for me, and her blog, Lovely Bohemia, was the first one I ever followed. Lovely Bohemia is about feathers, dreamcatchers, rings, coffee, kaleidoscopes, muses, Woodstock, vintage and anything you can think about when someone says 60s and 70s. Her muses are Janise Joplin, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Kelley Ash, Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot.

If you want to get some magical inspiration and admire wonderful photos, go inside her blog. But, I warn you I don't know how to break her spell...

The song that I can't get out of my head today it's Across the Universe, by one of my favourite bands the awesome Beatles.

LOVE!
