Heat and endless dryness.

I took off to California as soon as exams were out of the way and I'm currently sitting in a hotel lobby with the slowest Internet system and watching the sun.
The weather has been actually quite nice. Not TOO hot. I mean it's still hot for my liking but not the usual California heat.

Last night I was in Vegas. It was actually incredible. I felt like I was in an amusement park. I did snap some pictures to post later. I got a chance to see the Chanel Moscow collection which is quite interesting. The shops in Vegas are opened until 12 am! That's the first... Sadly I didn't find anything but my brother did grab some Dior Homme sunglasses which I will secretly wear one day.

The grand canyon really was something else. It made me feel like the nature is way on top of the humans no matter what. The pictures didn't do justice so I stopped attempting midway.

Tomorrow I'm off to San Francisco. Too much talking without pictures. I know I know borrrrrring. Once I'm in Korea, I will fully update and upload.

I hope you are enjoying the heat??

FEED.


FEED 100 bag = 100 School Meals for Children in Rwanda



FEED 2 bag = 2 Children Fed in School for 1 Year





FEED bags. My newest charity fashion item addiction since TOMS. FEED bags was created by Lauren Bush in hopes of creating good products that will help the world. I love the idea of people supporting causes and getting something they can wear, carry to show their support for the cause.
How FEED bags work: there are different types of bags, toys, jewelry you can purchase and each item has a different purpose for the money raised.
FEED bags relate to the very basic needs of every person. Hunger has taken away too many lives to even count and it is still one of the biggest problems faced in places such as Africa.
The bold four letters spelling out FEED is so right in your face on these bags.
we gotta FEED some children. agreed? agreed.

Staring.


Exams are finally out of my life and I must say it's such a relief. I hated feeling guilty for doing something else when I knew I should be studying. Now I can fully enjoy my freedom YAY.

I can't remember where I got this picture but it's such an intense, beautiful shot of Twiggy. I love the empowering image her braided hair gives and her small face is just framed by it all. She is an inspiration and a living legend.

For me black and white photos are always more powerful. The way contrast is shown and the negative space can be such a statement contrasts to multiple colours. In this shot, the little glow around Twiggy adds almost a holy feeling to it and you can not avoid her stare.

Tonight is a night with thoughts just running through my brain non stop. Mindless thoughts can be a good start for the summer.

Steven Klein





fauxtographer: Steven Klein

Truly an inspirational being. His work definitely defines originality and has a hint of him in them. I love how he takes no risks and how almost all of his images are fucking nude.

Also on a happy note, i'm finally done done done done done done exams and school. Summer is here, but not for long as I start summer school on July 5th..... But hopefully since its only for the first month (July) I'll be out of toronto by august or so.

Hey haven't been updating as often as I use to. I've been caught up with all my culminatings and whatnot. Check out my latest work.. my magazine created for my Design course entitled A.

Hmm... I don't know why the color's appear to be faded but somehow I like how the color of my A shines through. Also if you didn't already notice, I did a mini spread on co-partner J and our blog haha.

FEEDBACK ? much love
