Creative mood

Today I had a creative mood and made this drawing/collage based on the August issue of Nylon magazine.

I also made this Chanel inspired notebook, which even smells like Chanel parfume :) (even wanted to make some pearl beads at the end of the strings, but unfortunately they were to thick)

F from Fashion

Fashion is another big favorite. I have even studied Fashion & Design for a year, which I absolutely loved. Unfortunately I had to quit, because I did not have enough energy for it anymore and was completely fagged.

I love shopping a lot, and my latest purchase is this amazing leather jacket from the Dutch label Jack Rivet, The Cowboys Tailor.

E from England

England is one of my favorite countries, I don't know why, but I always feel at home immediately... I absolutely love the landscape with the variation of green tones and increadible trees! It is the home of my favorite city: London, packed with creativity and loads of different cultures.

One other reason is its cakes and other sweets; I don't know any other place (at least in Europe) where they have such a big selection of the most delicious things! Like this yummie scone:

D from Drawing

Drawing is one of my absolute favorite things to do.

I love to sit down with a nice cup of tea, something that contains chocolate, some nice music and loads of drawing material. For me drawing is one of the most relaxing things to do and one of the many ways to express my creativity.

C from Chocolate

Chocolate


Is there anything better than rich, creamy chocolate that melts on your tongue?
I especially love big chunks of dark chocolate with hazelnuts or Cadbury's, which makes the best milkchocolate I've ever had!!
Or what about chocolate chip cookies, chocolate fudge brownies, hot chocolate, chocolate ice cream from Ben&Jerry's......

B from books

Books

I absolutely love reading, and my current favorite book is 'This book will save your live' by A.M. Homes.

The story is about Richard Novak, a succesfull stocktrader who lives in LA, and who sees no one except for his personal trainer, housekeeper and nutritionist. He is so out of toutch with his feelings that his life has has slowed almost to a standstill. Then, on a night he gets an attact of excruciating pain and he lands in the emmergency room. This changes his whole life and Richard's dramatic emotional thaw begins....

favorites ABC

Amelie

'Les fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulin' is one of my favorite movies. I absolutely love the way Jean-Pierre Jeunet (he directed the new Chanel No5 commercial as well) has created the pictures of the film, it feels like your watching a grown-up fairytale. The main character is played by Audrey Tautou, who is one of my favorite acteresses...
