’round my mind

It’s just one of those night, where there’s way too much going on my mind. Too many roads to cross, too many choices to make, too many ideas to share. And not enough time for it all. And then I take two minutes to sit down and create something, write something. And all I can think of is my future. In such a positive way. There’s just so much going on in front of me. So much I’ll have to go through, so many new people I’ll get to meet, and maybe tie relationships with. Many blog pals, I hope! Sometimes it feels so fine just to be with strangers, or maybe is it that it feels fine not to be with people who knows you to well.

 

Life lately, according to my phone

9. Summertime, showing off our inked foot!

10. In a mood for such creative stuff. I just can’t stop having ideas, writting them down and drawing.

I’ve been very busy lately ; moving back to my dear hometown, starting a new-old job, hanging out with friends I had not seen since forever (4 months pretty much feels like forever)…Well, if anyone other than Marie-Michelle noticed that I haven’t been writting here, I appologize! Now, I’m back!

I simply want to tell you about a few songs I can’t get enough of.

1- The Gaslight Anthem – 45
The Gaslight Anthem’s brand new song, 45, is totally delicious! I think that I could have listened to it for my whole 13 hour ride back home. It sounds a lot more like the songs we heard on the “59′ Sound” album.

2- Florence and the Machine – Shake It Out
I discovered Florence + the Machine a couple of months ago. Yes, I am very late, but I do love her music.

3- The Vaccines – If You Wanna
I’ve had this song on my iPod for a while and I’ve started listening to it abusively lately. You should try too.

4- Of Monsters And Men – Little Talks
Thanks to my dear friend Karine, this band rocks! They’re gonna play at Osheaga festival this summer, can’t wait!

5 – Feist – The Bad In Each Other
“Metals”, get it. That’s it!

 

I also listen to The National a lot. Dave Hause never disapoints me. The Black Keys every morning on my way to work. Jimmy Eat World in every playlist I make. If you ever want to share what you listen to with me, feel free to email me at [email protected], I’d love to discover new bands/songs/artists/whatever. Talk soon!

5. Okkervil River – Lost Coastlines

9. Death Cab for Cutie – Meet me on the Equinox

So I was driving late yesterday, with my Angus & Julia stone fresh-bought album on, and there’s this song that started playing. And there’s those shivers I got from the heavy tone of Angus Stone, giving it all he can. There’s this feeling that I just can’t explain. Feeling like I could just run away. Far from all the things that saddens my heart. So here’s the extra song, that gives this post all its meaning :

10. Angus and Julia stone – Draw Your Sword

 

Tryout

So I though my lovely Holga camera deserved a treat, so I bought that cheap color flash to take indoor photos with it, and was quite impressed with the results. There’s something charming about those I think. They were only test but makes me feel like i’m gonna be using that flash for good in the next months. I’ll probably be showing you some of the best shots!

Style your post / bedroom

So, I’ve been on a hunt for home decorating ideas ever since I found the apartment I’m moving in this summer. (And god knows how excited I am about it! Mika’s starting to get it too, I guess..!) Here are some of the looks I find inspiring for a sweet bedroom space. I guess what comes out the most is space and white. With a hint of color! This yellow one is really killing me. Which one is your favorite?

Oh snap!

Oh lovely times! Saturday was a great one spent with my man. We just walked downtown, talked, shopped, visited each other’s family (mother’s day brunch on his side, and my older brother’s birthday on mine), along with Holga to snap it up. We can finally say it’s summer up here, and enjoy the sunshines while spending time together. Our schedules don’t exactly fit well so when we get to have a whole day together, we’re kinda really excited about it.

Who says summers says ice cream! We sure ended that one out with a tasty treat !

Monday brings the work back, with a load of sun on our side. Not so bad!
Have a nice week everyone.

P.S. Roxane is coming back from Nova Scotia tonight and I just can’t wait to see her! xx
