Good News for the Oppressed

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
for the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted
and to proclaim that captives will be released
and prisoners will be freed.
He has sent me to tell those who mourn
that the time of the Lord’s favor has come,
and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies.
To all who mourn in Israel,
He will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.
(Isaiah 61:1-3)

Betty bicycle

I´m in love with this perfect bicycle. The details are flawless and of course it´s the perfect shade of green. I´ll add their grocer´s basket and I´m ready to go!
(Another pretty bicycle and more accessories)

Desiderata

Stunning photography by Martín Traynor for Desiderata´s campaign. I´m taken by the sharpness of the images, and the black & white tone is just perfect.

Blue boots

Loving these blue boots from Anthropologie. They´re slightly rugged but also quite femenine.

A cup of tea

It´s chilly and I might be coming down with a cold (or maybe just too much allergy!)
This is looking very tempting right now.

Area

Today was the perfect day to stay home and curl up in many blankets with a cup of tea.
Thinking about piles of blankets I find myself inspired by the amount of textures combined in the different layers of bedding. I especially like these from Area. I think the texture of those striped grey sheets is amazing. I like the combination of slightly different shades of the same colour, and of coarse textures with soft sheets.

Black, white & red

Gorgeous gowns by the incredibly talented Elie Saab. He´s one of my favourite designers, but this particular collection is absolutely stunning.

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.

Wonderful illustrations by Max Dalton, creator of this popular poster and this one too.
