C'est la vie

I'm emotionally exhausted from packing up all my belongings and unpacking them again.

I'm sick of departure lounges and check out stands, sick out the sinking feeling you get when taking off, sick of boarding planes, trains and coaches, sick of having to say goodbye, sick of change, sick of feeling homesick and sick of having to leave places and people I got to know and got attached to.

I know it's something I have to do as it's a future investment and it's the right thing to do, but at the moment it means having to say goodbye to my family and friends, it means waking up and not being used to the the bed you woke up in. It means feeling lonely despite not actually being alone, feeling emotionally lost and completely exhausted.

I know it will all pay off but right now I'm tired. I want to sleep in my bed at home and I don't want to leave it any time soon.

The irony, however, is that in less than 48 hours I'll be doing exactly that - packing up my shit and boarding another plane. C'est la vie.

Christopher Kane Ready-To-Wear S/S '12

I like Christopher Kane, I think he's great and I've had a soft spot for his creations ever since he launched the collection with galaxy prints. His yesterday's show didn't disappoint either. I have to admit, I'm not a fan of the shoes and I don't really like the length on some of the skirts but the embellishments are magical. So are the origami-like cuts on shirts, dresses and coats. And speaking of shirts, from what I've seen so far, this London Fashion week is quite big on shirts, mostly buttoned up all the way to the top. They makes my knees go weak and my eyes sparkle with materialistic lust.

Below are my favourite pieces from the show.

According to Vogue's report some people left the show in tears. Christopher Kane, what are you like.

Dear guys and dolls

I’m a wee bit bored, so how about I’ll be your Agony Aunt tonight? You can ask me ANYTHING here and let’s tear shit up.

what's the meaning of your tattoo on your hand ?

It's my parents' and my brother's first name initials in my handwriting. It spells DSM.

Northern lights

I don't mean to sound cliche but planet Earth is full of breathtaking sights. We should do our best to not fuck it up (more).

Apricot

APRICOT — A Short Film by Ben Briand from Moonwalk Films on Vimeo.

This is a beautiful and breathtaking short film which made me cry. It's not particularly sad, just bittersweet and gorgeous.

Strong winds

"Adversity is like a strong wind. I don't mean just that it holds us back from places we might otherwise go. It also tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterward we see ourselves as we really are, and not merely as we might like to be."

- Arthur Golden

Smut Clothing

A couple of weeks ago I did a shoot with Sascha Smut, for Smut Clothing. We took some digital snaps for ASOS Marketplace and some Instax shots for... well just because Instax is fun. Here's what came out of that:

Also, look out for my face on ASOS.com, it should pop up there pretty soon.

You gotta show the world the thunder

Welcome to 10 Thousand Fireflies 2.0. This is a reboot/relaunch/remake because I felt like it's time for something new and fresh. And to be perfectly honest, I wasn't happy with what my previous blog was shaping up to be. So after taking a year-long break from blogging and working in the games industry, I'm back and, boy, do I have a lot to tell.

So without further ado, let's get straight to business. Stick around for some stories about award ceremonies, clothes, photo shoots, pretty things, gigs, boys and bands.
