I used to post photos of the objects on my table now and then on the old blog. Because my table is incredibly photogenic in pure white, rendering every object desirable perfectly poised on its surface. This is my latest selection of those objects living in a perfect symbiosis of the need and want.
My favourite red cup that makes coffee just perfect. The best toy created by mankind –Rubik’s cube, and the trompe-l’oeil one which actually serves as a pepper mill - is a gift from my darling. The best reading of nowadays – the second issue of Vestoj. And last but not least my latest vintage find – a Celine bag – I found it today at the flea market, and so far a brief research into the vintage Celine models tells me that it’s authentic and that I didn’t even pay 1/10th of what it’s really worth…a dab of white shoe stain on the corners and it’s as good as new.
I do admire the newly-found lean and mean minimalism of the two recent Celine seasons. Not being a fan of cigarette pants, colour-block or turtlenecks, I’m a mere onlooker, but the bags are a dream, whether of the latest creation or vintage. Now I just have to go with what I can afford.

Loads to talk about and loads to share from the country of yellow and blue.

Having mentioned the shopping lists…This is just a small selection of the gorgeous stuff I want to get my hands onto. All from Weekday – and comes by no surprise.

The Naked And Famous - Birds

The lack of updates on this blog isn’t a rarity anymore. I’ll try to get back to the regular blogging practice some time in the imminent future, but so far I’ve been enjoying the love, the heatwave, The Naked And Famous music videos and making shopping lists for Stockholm where I shall find myself in less than a week. Psyched!

Catclub

It stormed that night. No wonder some pictures came out looking like they were taken in a zombie land, 28 days later when yet another flock of birds crashed into the sky and hundreds of dead starfish get washed ashore in North Wales. Then it all went glowing in rainbow colours. I’m no good party photographer…I’m no party photographer at all, but a visual exploration of one space transformed by a flood of primary colours was rather amusing. No pot of gold at the end of it though.

umool umool vol.9

Looking forward to this absolutely gorgeous book to drop in mail. Ordered via Motto Berlin, so let’s see how quick these guys are.

the tiger sunday

Those are the Aspen Tigers, entertaining the Sunday afternoon crowd at Fontainas. I’m glad to have such lovelies to take pictures of.

Brico, here I come!

And I hope you have those Y-shaped splitters.

Guillaume Henry (Carven) @ Hunting and Collecting Brussels

Carven at Hunting and Collecting

So here’s another historic event and its ‘historic’ documentation. It was a full house at Hunting and Collecting, believe me! but somehow every time I take a picture it looks like I’ve been to a desolate island full of fashion treasures. Carven’s first season at Hunting and Collecting has been marked by a massive launch event and just as massive afterparty. Unfortunately I missed Guillaume Henry – the designer who has resurrected the old French label, but you can watch a small interview with him above.






This is probably irrelevant to the event, but I am glad to see Vanessa Aerts’ jewellery being sold here.

Later at Kafka the light has changed – what is usually pure and white turns all colourful and glittery – it was time for the afterparty! Excuse me for having a piss-poor knowledge of popular music as I can’t tell Prince from George Michael, but that’s what the De Jeunes Gens Modernes DJ set consisted of, queuing hit (so was I told) after hit. Many thanks to my fellow bloggers for a history lesson of the 80’s pop culture and an occasional but recurrent feeling that I was partying with the Dutch on a camping somewhere in south of France.

Next up were my feline darlings, Aspen Tigers, slamming one electro track after another. I couldn’t keep my feet from a merry shuffle on the dancefloor. Evidence – the blurry snapshots as the night grew older. All I can add is a massive round of applause to Aude and Niels and everyone else who made this lovely evening happen. The good thing is – we know they’ll do it again.

somewhere in Finland

Oh those Scandinavians! Every time I see yet another interior I’m amazed at their sense of proportion, colour combination, and simply effortless and cosy mish-mash of all things beautiful. I’m sure to rip off the kitchen idea to the tiniest detail in my new home. Graphic black vinyl sticker – genious!

I’m looking for a new home when thousands of people lost theirs. I didn’t want to post anything Japan-related lately, but the mentioning of it in the previous post made me once again run to the telly hoping the CNN will finally bring some good news. It will, it surely will, just hang on there, Japan.

À St. Médard

Welcome to an image-heavy post – a documentation of last Sunday visit to À St. Médard. If you are not familiar with this project, check their website www.a-st-medard.com, or come and check out the space next weekend, which will happily coincide with a stocksale of Kris Van Assche and Raf Simons past seasons’ collections – all at very attractive prices. I must stress that the event is by invitation only (and to get yours you must mail a request to thefabricsales@gmail.com), but it is well worth the trouble. Plus you can enjoy the tastiest Japanese brunch ever! All on Rue Haute 298C-300, here in BXL.
