Patricia Loves: Ailera Stone

|

I’m back on track! Today I’d like to introduce you (in case you didn’t know her already) to a really cool Lithuanian photographer called Ailera Stone. A while ago I stumbled across her photoshoot with Megan McMinn and soon enough I was browsing through her whole portfolio, hooked on. The eerie lights and colorful backgrounds make you feel as if you’re witnessing a story, if not a fairytale, unfold. The 22 year old photographer is now studying in England…“I always liked to escape into other worlds through books, movies and music, but I found out that the best way to do that is by taking pictures. My photography is a way to capture moments and make them magical, bring the dreams into this world.”

With all that said, enjoy! ♥

The Time Traveler’s Wife

|

Or how I felt while walking around the idle, romantic little alleys of Rome. Well, I am by no means married, but I definitely felt like I somehow got lost and fell down the rabbit hole in another time. All the old buildings, the warm winds, the friendly people, my princess complex sky-rocketed.
I always seems to have an excuse as to why I don’t post as much as I used to, mostly because it’s true, I would post a lot if I wouldn’t be bothered by other stuff I have yet to wrap my mind around. This time it’s family issues I put the blame on, my beloved grandma might be sick, but we don’t know yet for sure how serious it is. I want to keep being positive, but it’s so damn hard. I just can’t imagine life without my grandma, she means the world to me and I honestly don’t know how I’d get over it if she suddenly disappeared…
Anyway, I wasn’t planning to be melodramatic here, I just wanted to share some more of my view of Rome, but I assume you’re already used to it, I always start talking about something and end up ranting about complete different stuff. I hope you’ll have a great weekend!

Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum

|

I know, I know, I should do a walk of shame right now considering it’s been almost two weeks since I posted something, but the weather has been a hater lately, it’s been raining on an off daily therefore I’ve been caught in the pouring water apocalypse every day (and no, considering how hard it rained, umbrellas were of no use) so I was in no condition of taking outfit shots, sadly.
On a lighter note, I got my host families’ data and they’re all so cute, and one family has a shiba dog (like Hachiko, for who’s seen the movie), gosh I can’t wait to abuse him :3
I’ve been craving the sea a lot lately, mostly because my mom and brother went in Turkey on holiday without me. One of the cities in which I’ll stay in Japan is by the shore, hopefully I’ll be able to go swim a few times, too. Below I’d like to share with you some photos from my trip to Crete from last summer. As some of you know, the Mediterranean Sea is incredibly beautiful, colour wise. Well, the water is clear, obviously, which makes it easy to spot fish and other cute sea creatures all the time. It was really warm too, at the end of August, swimming was darling. Enjoy!

Thoughts in Bloom

|

As I’m stuck inside studying for my finals (ahem, procrastinating), while drifting away from the ever exhilarating economy ended up imagining the perfect Sunday. It would be just warm enough to feel cozy in a sweater, laying under blooming trees with Murakami’s The wind up bird chronicle with a basket filled with delicious sushi for when hunger strikes. I find it wonderful how easy being alone without feeling lonely is when you’ve got a good book beside you. What would your perfect Sunday look like?

Patricia loves: Strawberry Koi

|

Hey lovely people! I wanted to apologize for not posting as much as I’ve used you to and not replying to all of your lovely comments, but I’m having a really crazy week, month actually now that I think about it. I promise I’ll get back on track as soon as possible!
As for today, I’d like to share with you a brand that’s been growing on me really fast these days. I stumbled upon their lookbook after their name, Strawberry Koi, caught my eye and decided to follow their blog. Their owners, Aya and Thomas Smith describe it as the lovechild between fashion and photography, with a touch of vintage. They’ve got two oh so darling children and take the loveliest photos. I’ll leave you with their SS2013 lookbook for now, since I really need to get my ass back to studying :(

As I was thinking (procrastinating) today, I was trying to understand hate. I honestly don’t. I’m not going to go all white knight and pretend I love everyone and everything because hell I don’t! There are people that drive me mad only by opening their mouth, but that doesn’t mean I’ve ever wished something bad happened to them or hurt them deliberately, it’s such a childish thing to do. When you dislike someone I find the best thing to do is avoid them. At all costs. It’s so much better than filling your head with negative thoughts that at one point start consuming you. Also trying to understand that person or find something that you like about them helps, but it’s a little harder and to be honest it hasn’t worked too many times for me.
Now that I think about it, I don’t see the point of negativity at all, being it aimed at yourself or others. It would be so much easier for everyone if there would be less fake smiles and hatred and rivalry but the world we live in is, sadly, way beyond ridding itself of those.
I’ve got a lot on my mind right now and sadly can’t write up a proper post. Thoughts are mingling in my head, I’m anxious and happy and stressed out and tired all in the same time, it’s safe to say my mind’s a mess. I promise I’ll wrap up something good soon, after I finish with my finals! Are you stressed out by school too? :) Continue reading →
