Day 274 - Alexandrina
I discovered today - via TABU magazine - this wonderful Romanian artist: Alexandrina. Beautiful outside (as you can see), fascinating inside - she is a painter and a singer. Go to her site - www.alexandrina.ro - to get a little bit of her beautiful world. Here you can see her portrait and one of her paintings (taken from her site). On her site you can listen 4 of her songs, see her singing in a short clip and look at more photos and paintings. So bad that such a talented artist is not promoted in Romanian mass-media... I am promoting her now. Because she deserve it. Keep on going, Alexandrina! You are already my friend, even that you don't know it yet.

Enter the fabulous and secret world of perfumes guided by this gentleman - Mr. Chandler Burr.

You will be probably surprised to discover that a scent is something different from what you use to believe and much, much, much more.

In real perfume world, something like this doesn't exist.
There are good scents and bad scents. That's all.
So, visit his site and read his articles.
This will lead you to buy his book "The Emperor Of Scent".

Day 270 - The Sartorialist
Just discovered today a fantastic blog - Thanks Alina!
This is The Sartorialist - I just can't stop watching it and I wish it will never end.
The brilliant man behind it says:
"I started The Sartorialist simply to share photos of people that I saw on the streets of New York that I thought looked great. When I worked in the fashion industry (15 years), I always felt that there was a disconnect between what I was selling in the showroom and what I was seeing real people (really cool people) wearing in real life".
And he is absolutely right. Fashion, above all, it what you see in the street, not on the catwalks, glossy magazines or stores.
I love the way he see these "fashion characters", I love the way he photograph them, I love the fact that - as he says - everything started from this photography done by August Sander.
So... watch The Sartorialist: briliant, smart, simply, clever - a big idea. It is wonderful.
Selected as one of Time Magazine's Top 100 design Influencers.
And here one of my favorite images from this blog.
