Summer is already knocking on the door, while I'm still off from work and sleeping nearly 11 hours a night. That hasn't happened since I was in the kinder garden maybe, and I'm so enjoying it, but every morning I wake up at 10-11am I sense a slight thread of fear that soon it will be over. Frankly, I must say I get quite bored sometimes, but remembering the rhythm at work, I try to tell myself I should fully enjoy this time for myself. I still have some things of list that I didn't do (for unknown reason), you know those things you never decide or have time to do and leave for "those" days when you'll have plenty of time....and even when you have that time these things float like a grey cloud above you, giving you this uncomplete feeling.
Anyway, just a little offtopic from some shots I was to post to celebrate the begining of this summer on the background of my number one - Jamiroquai.
My recent pick for shoe brand I discovered at 9 Marylebone High Street in London, close to Oxford St., ASH UK and Ireland oficial store. I fell in love with these Hypnose Wedge Knee High Boots in black, which were exaclty what I was looking for. Unfortunately my hard drive is caput right now and pic is unavalable for the moment....Actually let's see if I can dig something ......................................
Leather upper and manmade sole, 8cm high and totally stable these boots were the most amazing ones I had in terms of comfortability and quality and I have had some boots in my feet history. The fact that they're high above the knee makes them amazing to wear with a simple dress, which gives totally classy look, with black or blue jeans and jacket or just with leggings if you dare. Price 294 pounds. Saw ASH stores and particularly these boots for a second time in Tokyo on our Japan trip this winter holiday vacation. Ash was established in Europe in 2000 under the design and direction of Patrick Ithier. It is distributed in over 18 countries such as Italy, France, Spain, Greece, Germany, Israel, Sweden, Australia, Belgium, and Japan. Two weeks ago while I was walking around Barcelona's central 'barrio' Born, my eyes stopped at this shop window and there they were......A-M-A-Z-I-N-G little black sandals which were totally my idea of this summer's perfect sandals.
Went inside, took it to try it and saw it was an ASH sandal. With really short time of thinking I couldn't leave the shop without these sandals. Besides the classy and sophisticated look they have, I knew that top quality is guaranteed with this brand.....so here they are, on my table and on my feet....Cost 170€
Got them from NOTENOM shop in Born as I said where you can find from Karl Lagerfeld, Dsquared, Vivien Westwood to Costume National etc. With a perfect presentation, the lace, the box and the bag inside I opened another season of ASH on my feet and I definitely advise you to do so, too.
As from this April Lara Stone is the new make up line face for Giorgio Armani. She's dutch and she was found in Paris metro at the age of 12, and after she became 15 we've all seen her at Balmain, Chloé, Dior, Prada, Lagerfeld, Vuitton, D&G etc. fashion shows. Make up artist Linda Cantello has reached this very sexy and dangerous look for the campaign. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Big up for Lara and Mr. Armani!
A sunny Sunday after a long winter, 3 dogs, a few friends known as Sambo, Croco, Kike Mayor, Kike Vega in the skate world, my dear friend Michele and Valia who so loves to take amateur (for now) shots, that she made this brilliant 'The making of' which you'll see in just a sec, of course my man - the production manager...and myself styling gave as a result this great photo shoot for Nike SB FA10 apparel collection.
