Lovely tipography in this Paris video from Albin Holmqvist. See also London & Barcelona.

Nostalgia for the light

I´m deeply intrigued by this chilean movie filmed in the Atacama desert, where astronomers and women looking for their loved ones, converge.

The Sartorialist

A lovely short documentary by Visual Intel Life of Scott Schuman at work.

O Holy Night

Though I´m not a fan of Mariah´s person, she does have an extroardinary voice which I never tire of listening to. Fabulous performance of a Christmas classic from Mariah´s good ol´ days.

The Dying Swan

Lagerfeld created a special costume for English National Ballet´s prima ballerina Elena Glurdjidze, that took 100 hours to complete. Here, a clip of Elena dancing during her costume fitting at Chanel.

Serveware

Useful tips by Jamie for making your table and all that hard work in the kitchen, more attractive. I love the rustic table and mismatched plates.

Jamie Oliver

Brilliant speech by Jamie Oliver.
I´m quite surprised at how ignorant people have become, I can´t even imagine children never having seen basic vegetables before... 
I think Jamie´s proposition is spot on!

Bobby C. Martin Jr.

Great example on how good design can impact a community. Bobby C. Martin Jr´s rebranding and and positive values campaign for the Abyssinian Baptist church of Harlem.

Bottled water

Yesterday I watched this movie and it was quite alarming. On top of all the reasons enlisted in this short clip, that also informs about bottled water, the movie warns that the bottle´s plastic contaminates the water it´s carrying, mostly with cancer causing chemicals. I strongly urge you to stop buying plastic bottles for the environment and your own health.

Green Film Fest

Yesterday I found out about this film festival starting the day after tommorow in Palermo, I really hope I can pop by at some point. More info here.

An Education

This weekend I watched An Education. I highly reccomend it. Wonderful cast of actors, and great photography, in a bittersweet story about learning the hard way.

Mad Men

Yeah! We´re on to season 4! Lovely outtakes by Annie Liebovitz for Vanity Fair.

The Story of Stuff

Brilliant explanation of our current situation: the social and enviromental impact of producing, consuming and disposing, and a few pointers on building a sustainable world. Many more resources here.
Finally available in Spanish!!! yeah!

Bright Star

Last night I watched Bright Star based on the life of Keats. I didn´t care much for the script or the storyline, but I was mesmerized by the photography, the gorgeous scenery and lighting. The lighting is really exquisite. I was also quite taken by the costume design, especially the pieces worn by Fanny. Very femenine and graceful. Unfortunately I haven´t found images of the moments I loved so much, so I´d recommend watching the movie, if you can stand it being a bit slow, the images are quite breathtaking. I haven´t seen such a beautiful movie in a while.

Vanessa Bruno

Loving this gorgeous video for Vanessa Bruno´s summer collection.

The music is perfectly chosen and put together and the images comunicate so many sensations. 

Fun. Beautiful. Exquisite.

Agosto

This weekend we celebrated our anniversary, and my wonderful husband took me by surprise to a lovely hotel, and then surprised me even more, with tickets to the theater.
We went to see Agosto, which I highly recommend! A witty play and an extraordinary cast. Very funny at times, dark and dramatic at others, it kept us constantly on the edge of our seats.

Tapped water

Yikes! Really makes you think! My husband posted this on his blog today, and it really caught my attention. More info here.
