A SHOT OF BLUE PLEASE !!!!!

 

“Sea Through” by Marian VERNICOS

 

Greek photographer Marina Vernicos’s new body of work consists of a series of seascapes around the world using various exposure times and degrees of focus. Her expressionistic photographs do not allow the viewer neither to guess the location where the photo was taken, nor to understand where she has supported her camera in order to choose or to exclude a particular vision angle. Time of day, weather conditions are unaffected of geographical location.

''Marina Vernicos’ abstract seascapes have a dreamlike quality, they’re transcendental, in that they  transport the viewer beyond human senses and experiences. These are images that seek the extraordinary, and as a result, transcend the ordinary.''
Anna Chatzinassiou, curator

Street Style Fashion

 

Now that Odious, Poisening, Dampy Dame Rain has been slashed to the drain at last by the Too Feeble, Shyish, Palish Lord Sun,

beauties made a dash out, all heels clamped on the ground, accessories full beam, lean silhouettes from despair caved in home by too much tears from the skies.

 

A selection, for your eyes only…

 

 

 

The Tuileries, always a great hit for fashion off the track runway.

 

 

The happiness of frills

DRIVE-IN AT THE GRAND PALAIS

The GRAND PALAIS is always bursting with new ideas!

 

Hear this:

The GRAND PALAIS becomes a gigantic drive-in from June 10th to the 21st with vintage movies : Grease, Taxi Driver and so much more while you’ll be seated in the bucket seats of a Fiat 500 !!! Doesn’t it sound like fun ??

 

 

Definitely the biggest Drive-In in a capital.

And as it weren’t enough you’ll be grabbing dinner at the new American restaurant or rolling away at the Disco Roller !!

Can’t live without him: PIERRE HERME

 

No respectful French can live without a Pierre Hermé pastry. Macarons preferably. It has become like the croissants or the pain au chocolat, or pain au raisin.

 And I am sorry ladies to bring up that subject when we all are at bikini encounter in a month’s time and boy we still need to shed a few grams of bloody fat. Horrible stuff !

The man behind it all: Pierre.

Or PARIS seen as a façade?

 

 

 

 

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY !!!

 

Don’t you forget !

 

 

What about bringing to her all those little somethings she likes, nicely displayed on a beautiful tray with a bunch of sweat peas or her favourite flower ?

AUSTRALIAN HORIZONS by Anne France FULGENCE

 

“I have an amazing studio, right in the middle of Kangaroo Valley where I live. It is the first spot in the flat of the valley that becomes clear when the fog lifts. Then the true grandeur of the land majestically rises. I like these moments, I live for them.”

Design these days speeds up on the highway with as destination: extravagant imagination built on the foundations of classicism with no toll in view !

BACCARAT’s new lighting serie went wild at Milan’s Design Salon as it commissioned some of the most prominent names from the contemporary design world to revisit existing historical pieces or develop new ones.
