Ingenuity Fest 2011

Here are just a few pictures of Ingenuity Festival in Cleveland. This is from Friday night. Yes, the night when Washed Out was there.

Lately I’ve been very interested in making videos because pictures often cannot reveal the feel of an event. Hence I took some video footage. Please, excuse the poor quality and Photoshop signage over the video. I am just now starting to learn how to edit a video, and I figured using a trial would be appropriate. I promise, I’ll get better.

Kahlo It Is!

Now is the time when every other blog post most likely will include S/S 2012  designer collections. I wasn’t sure if I was going to do a post like that, but then I came across an Australian brand Kahlo, and I just couldn’t resist. So today the spotlight is being shined on this beautiful, a bit futuristic collection designed by Fay and Rachelle. They have also picked the perfect model for this lookbook - Anja Konstantinova.

What do you think? Can I have it all, please?

I also wanted to mention that Ingenuity Fest In Cleveland starts tonight at 5pm, and Washed Out is going to be there!!! Do I even have to tell you how excited I am?

Here is my outfit from yesterday. Alejandro discovered this beautiful place in the park on Saturday, and as soon as he got home he announced that would be the place for our next shoot. Since my shirtdress is so simple, I guess, it’s good I have something pretty in the background. And yes, once again I have found something I’ll be wearing a lot. This dress is so practical and simple. Love it.

As we were leaving, it started pouring down rain. For my own surprise, I didn’t mind it. Rain can sometimes be so beautiful.

It’s a Choice

The thought of today is short and sweet - we are all leaders. Many people think that their actions are not relevant, and they would never be suitable for a leading position; however, the truth is that we lead each other in one way or another every single day. “Leadership is a process of influence. Anytime you seek to influence the thinking, behavior or development of people in their personal or professional lives, you are taking on the role of a leader.” (Ken Blanchard) Friend giving an advise to another friend. Mother raising her children. Sales assistant helping a costumer. These and many other examples of leadership occur daily in everybody’s lives so now that we know that we are all leaders, it’s time to choose what kind of a leader you are going to be. Loving, kind, serving, one that promotes healthy relationships and growth and well-being of others or the self-centered one?

My Saviors Love Is Real / OHIO CITY, OH

This past Friday I had a perfect girly morning. Breakfast with the love, and photo shoot and lunch with my girl crush Mary at a quint French restaurant called Le Petit Triangle. The photo shoot was for American Apparel Disco Pant Promotion in Switzerland. Hopefully, everybody will start wearing Disco Pants there now too. I mean, c’mon, why not? And you will be swamped with a large amount of pictures of me and Mary in these pants on my blog pretty soon. As for the French restaurant, it reminded me of my trip to France so much. Probably because every time I travel, I eat a lot. And it always has to be food representing the culture I’m exploring. Actually, my first post was about my trip to France. Le Petit Triangle actually is shaped as a triangle, and the kitchen is right there in front of your eyes. Unless you sit outside. Then we have a problem. Anyway, I have totally fallen in love with this place, and I want to go back as soon as possible.

I’m wearing my new favorite piece of clothing - sheer maxi dress from Urban Outfitters. You’ll probably see more pictures of it because I just have endless ideas of how to style it, and I want to wear it every day.

Mary’s dressing room is so cute, I just had to do some shots in there.

Here’s a song that I have loved for a while now. It’s actually a remix by The XX, and everybody knows they are awesome. One day I was listening to the lyrics really carefully, and, in my opinion, this song is definitely about God. Who else can we refer to as our Savior?

Vegan Leather

Com Truise, Phantogram and Glith Mob was the line up for a show last night at Grog Shop (Coventry, Cleveland, OH). If you know these musicians, I’m sure, you can imagine how awesome it was. Here are some shots.

I also took a short video during the show, and here it is. I just wish I had put in more effort so the quality was better. Maybe next time. First is Com Truise, then Phantogram (you can also hear a little bit of their new song), and last but not least - Glitch Mob.
