I love the dreamy atmosphere, all the mystery of this photograph... Then I saw a fashion editorial with a similar setting:

Dreamcatchers!!

So... I was spring cleaning my room and I found this dreamcatcher kit from the dollarstore. Since I had no other project going on, I decided to finish what I had started over a year ago! And I have to say, I found myself a new hobby!! I surfed the web to find more information on how to make different weaves and the like...

Here are some of the dreamcatcher that inspire me at the moment:

I am already planning to make a huge one from my room.. but I think I still need a bit of practice! I am thinking of using a hula hoop as the base frame... I don't know.. It's still in the idea stage.. I'll keep you updated if my ideas come to life. I might also post a picture of my first dreamcatcher as soon as its completed... I only need to add a few feathers!

Fever Ray

Fever Ray is a singer from Sweden. She also has a duo with her brother called The Knife. I don't really know how you would describe the type of music she does... It's... quite unique. My boyfriend (who's really into house music) says it's the kind of music to make you scared... I would say every songs has some magical mood to it. Fever Ray also plays a lot on what she shows in her videos and how she present herself in public events. And, like anything from Scandinavia, Fever Ray is just... amazing!

Here are a few photos and clips so you can be inspired by her fabulous work!

Just so you know, she was costumed like this for a gala...

Enough with the pictures! Here are two very good songs brought to life in two very powerful clips!

Fever Ray is not on tour at the moment... I hope she tours again sometime soon, I would love to see her live... I think it would be quite an experience! You can visit her website here.

Bandit Brand

Bandit Brand. I found out about them sometime last week. This amazing brand is 100% made in the U.S.A. If you like anything with a vintage, rocker, biker, western, native, (you get the picture) feel to it... You will surely like Bandit Brand. Here are some of my favorite pieces.

 The bison ring is my most favorite thing at the moment.. I will probably order one for myself if they can make it in my size... I have very small fingers...

Pictures from here.

They keep an amount of the profit made on some tees to send to different programs for the animals. Details on their website. The clothes and the jewelry are really cool. Plus the prices are very reasonable. I will definetly order from them soon!

Things I got in the mail

I finally received my letter from the college I applied to... And I am glad to announce I will be studying biology starting in August!

I also finally received the microlinks I ordered from China. So that means I'll be able to rearrange my feather hair extensions in the next few days!

Last Thursday

I was having breakfast in front on my computer in my room. I left the room to put my empty bowl in the sink.. as I was walking through the doorway to get back in my room, I bumped into a ..... spider hanging down a string of web. I GOT IT RIGHT IN MY FACE. ON. MY. CHEEK. When I realised what it was.. I screamed. My mom, who was still asleep, was wondering what was going on. What troubled me the most is that if I got it in the face while walking in my room, means it was hanging somewhere between the doorframe and my hair when I walked out.. And that means it could have been in my hair without me knowing!! Ewwwwww!

Spiders are disgusting.

Changes

I took off the previous header because it was hideous. This one is much more brighter and I like it. I also rearranged the colours and everything...

Here's a song I like. I am in a crappy mood and this song helps making me feel better. Röyksopp is a norwegian duo. Enjoy!

The video is quite inspiring in itself. I wonder why everything that comes from Sandinavia is always so amazing. Have you noticed, they have a very strong sense of style earlier than anybody... I mean, you look at them on Lookbook or some streetstyle website and you think '' Gosh, that's a statement!'' And then you see he/she's 13.

Anyways, the woman singing in the clip is Fever Ray, I will probably write about her later.
