>+NOW ON LOOKBOOK%&

After all this time I'm finally on Lookbook thanks to a girl from my class. From now on I'll be able to just hype the looks I like instead of having to save all the images on my laptop. So far no pictures of me yet but I'm working on it :-) It takes a while though before I'm really satisfied with the pictures I take. And I guess I have to really get out onto the streets now and take pictures of myself 'cause I can't have every picture taken at my place. Would be too boring. So there's a challenge for me.

Now let's go and post part 2 of those pictures of photographer Thomas Lohr:



































Julian Casablancas' solo album Phrazes Of The Young has found its way onto the net and I'm listening to it right now. He already gave us two songs, 11th Dimension and River Of Breaklights, that gave a pretty good preview of how the album would sound like. It sounds really nice so far. A very full sound with some pretty upbeat and danceable songs. Left & Right In The Dark is one of my favourites so far as is Ludlow St.

+}MEN'S RAG>!

It's early Saturday morning, I feel like writing. One of my objectives today is to finish reading Virginia Woolf's The Waves, 'cause I haven't finished yet. It's not an easy read and at times I'm more into it than at other moments so every now and then I decide to read some pages a second time.
After weheartit.com became a new favourite site of mine I bookmarked it immediately and it ended up there with my usual websites I visit on a daily basis. However, weheartit.com ended up less addictive than I thought it would be so I pretty quickly got over it after first 'hearting' images intensively. Recently I replaced weheartit.com for a site called Men's Rag, which shows you the latest collection of fashion labels some I had never even heard of. It's a site for men so they only post images of men's clothing. It's very nice and gets you a lot of inspiration. It might lead people to buy these clothes, but I for one don't have that much money or maybe I do, but I like to spend it on cheaper clothing. :) And not too long ago I've apparently been bit by the fashion bug. Ever since getting these new black boots my sense for style has increased tremedously. Of course sites such as Lookbook.nu, Streetpeeper.com, TheSartorialist.com, TheFacehunter.org and melbournestreetfashion.com have influenced this as well as have my daily visitings of the sites Models.com which shows you the latest news about models, but also a lot of pictures from new photoshoots that appear in magazines. The only negative thing about Models.com is that I've ended up watching a lot of symmetrical faces every single day which after a while does result in you thinking everyone looks like that when of course that's not the case. :)

*&THE FACE HUNTER SHOW_+

For those not familiar with The Face Hunter phenomenon I will explain it to you. The Face Hunter is this French guy who lives in London and takes pictures of random people he sees while walking down the street and of whom he thinks they look cool. So when seeing a cool and hip looking person with great fashion sense he follows that person and asks if he or she minds having his/her picture taken. These pictures he puts on his website for all to see which over the months has led to a nice collection of random people wearing the coolest combination of clothes. His site, but also other sites like Street Peeper, The Sartorialist, Lookbook, and Melbourne Street Fashion, has inspired many designers of today as these sites happen to capture street fashion and fashion culture happening on the street right now. But this guy, The Face Hunter, who's real name is Yvan Rodic by the way, I today found out, also happens to make these videos which he has named The Face Hunter Show. In these videos he meets and mingles with all kinds of interesting, fashionable, and arty types of people which he interviews, these interviews being very fun and loose. Rodic has proofed himself to be a really charismatic presenter and his show is really fun to watch. He has so far been to Mexico City, Stockholm and Moscow to talk to some up-and-coming young minds and to provide a sense of what is happening right now in those cities. In Stockholm, for example, he visited the mind behind the brand Cheap Monday which can be said to have re-invented the skinny jeans and from which I right now happen to wear one. Yay! Here's episode two from Mr. Rodic in Stockholm. I like this a lot. :)
