Bleh...

It has been a long week, and whether it's due to the fact that it's the first week back from holidays or it's simply been a drag, I feel like each day has been an entire week in itself. The exhaustion has reached an all time high, and in the only and most precise way I could describe it, I'd say I'm feeling rather bleh.

My go-to remedy for times like this is most commonly music, so for all the guys and gals inwardly hollering in agreement, I've compiled a list of 10 songs that have pulled me through this week, and maybe a few in celebration of the weekend! Can I get a whoop whoop?!

1.  Candles - Daughter

2. Anything Could Happen - Ellie Goulding

3. That's How Strong My Love Is - Alicia Keys

4. Christmas Eve - Justin Bieber (Yes, it's a Christmas song, and yes, it's by Justin Bieber, but at least give it a try.)

5. Burning Desire - Lana Del Rey

6. Waiting All Night - Rudimental ft. Ella Eyre

7. Wake Me Up - Avicii

8. Pursuit of Happiness - Kid Cudi (Steve Aoki Remix)

9. Silvia - Miike Snow (Robotberget Remix)

 10. Treasure - Bruno Mars

I sincerely hope that the majority of you (at least) have had a much better week than I have. Happy Friday, and enjoy your weekend!

Mr. Photographer | Davide Zanoni

During one of my recent Internet escapades, I came across a brilliant man by the name of Davide Zanoni. He is an Italian photographer who takes the most gorgeous photos. Although his primary focus is wedding and documentary photography, he recently went backstage at Milan Fashion Week to take a few snaps to let us in on the glamorous world that is fashion.

I first saw these photos a while ago, but somehow I just couldn't seem to get them out of my mind. Whether it's the intimate take he has on photography or simply his eye for a good photo, it all comes together in a sort of nostalgia and holds so true to the saying we all know so well: 

"A picture is worth a thousand words."

And with that overly excited introduction, you can take a look at that the photos below knowing good and well that I truly love these pictures. If you're just as enthusiastic as I am and would like to see more of Zanoni's work, you can check him out here.

I hope you've all had a good week so far. For most of us South Africans, holidays have become but a distant memory as we all return to the daily grind. I've got a number of things planned for the blog, starting with the change of layout which should be pretty evident if you've been reading for a while. (You like?) I'll also be partnering up with some IFB and Lucky Magazine bloggers for a new post, which is very exciting! For me, at least...

Trend Alert: Military Madness

A trend I'm loving right now is the military vibe the fashion world has taken on. Street fashionistas seem to have taken the trend as literal as the go with camo print on everything from t-shirts to sunglasses, while designers on the runway have gone in the completely opposite direction and steered far away from the camo print, opting for military colours, sharp shoulders and big buttons to stay on trend.

I'd prefer to wear one statement camo piece with solid colours, but there are some of us brave enough to wear the look from head to toe. (Kudos to you!)

Happy camouflaging! (That was cheesy, I'm sorry...)
