Because I didn't know much about this business and it could be useful for what I'm doing :l I started to browse the web and found at least two very good sites to get some insights and follow trends: AnOther and BoF-Business of Fashion. Several of new likes come from there...


- CRAIG LAWRENCE:
SIGNATURES: “Knitting with unconventional materials to create voluminous, fluffy and shiny knits."


- PETIT H : the Hermes creative recycling project. There are some concept presentation videos on the web but hardly show any pictures of the created objects, a pity :(  I've seen some, somewhere & found it cool...


- Louis Vuitton Express: the mythic locomotive was sent to Shanghai from Paris by rail. You could follow it day by day. Ok by now it has already arrived...


- ROSA CLARA: Spanish, neat, beautiful - just for a special day or two -


- LAURENCEAIRLINE: men fashion culture mix, like especially the SS13 (some who have been seen me wearing some pieces of my wardrobe will understand why.....)




mmmh I'm sorry, no pictures because I rather don't post pictures that are not mine ...

One day...

I'm invited for lunch by the President and the Marketing Director of an important multinational we start a mysterious game while eating the salmon...

What is your favorite color? purple

What is your favorite animal? impala

Proud of my sudden inspiration :D I couldn't think about any "favorite" animal I was about to say a frog...

Actually the color represents the way you see yourself and the animal the way you would like others to see you. No real matter what the animal or color but how you describe them... Now that I told you... ssssht! Be prepared!

Next time I'll be a Red.Impala - fire ahead ====

Three shots I liked and found browsing my computer... I haven't taken many pictures over the last year except during a few trips and I have not posted any. Hope you like these ones :)

1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV) "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your body



Marriage, motherhood and ministry brought new weapons into the fray. Ridiculously crowded schedules and chronic fatigue seemed to be regarded as holy Medals of Honor, so I signed up and quickly learned the unspoken rules of successful Christian living - rest is for the wicked, exhaustion is for the holy, fast food is for the fully devoted and burnout the ultimate goal. At times, I can almost hear Satan, standing in the wings, laughing at my skewed priorities and lack of discipline, knowing that his opening is just around the corner.
There is simply no way around the truth that discipline is part of trusting God with our health. We cannot give our hearts to God but keep our bodies for ourselves. To do so is sin. It's time for a new plan and a new way of thinking when it comes to disciplining the body. (...)

Get moving. A friend once told me her favorite exercise was opening and closing the refrigerator door. Hmm … not good! Set realistic goals in the area of exercise. Start with 15 minutes a day, three times a week. Gradually increase that time. Choose an activity with a dual purpose. For example, while you are walking, you can pray. Walking can be a healthy way of dealing with anger, venting frustration to God instead of others. A walk can also serve as a "mini-retreat" during a chaotic day. Ask God to change your perspective on exercise – then take the first step. He will meet you there.

Learn to rest. Rest is not an option if we are to function at our best. We sometimes try to feed emotional needs by refusing to rest. We stay busy because we are afraid to face our past or even the future. Guilt keeps us moving, trying to prove our worth.

For most of my adult life, I have wrongly equated being busy with being productive. I am guilty as charged when it comes to living each day in overdrive. My Day Timer has, at times, been my Bible. The result has always been exhaustion, burnout and watered down living. When I fell into the pit of clinical depression, everything looked great on the outside, but God and I both knew that the facade I had so carefully erected was nothing more than a meaningless monument to self. The house built upon the sand seemed like very familiar digs and I was not alone.
We are masters of rationalizing our way to man's approval. I am convinced that when we are willing to surrender our lives to the tyranny of the urgent, the enemy will keep 'em coming – people who need us immediately, those who clamor for our attention above our family and our personal relationship with God or the person who can talk to no one but us. The list of ego strokes is long. (...)
