hello, yellow

I’ve been itching to get out of the office as early as possible, every day this whole week. Truth is, I’ve been extraordinarily restless. Work hasn’t been deadly at all, yet I don’t feel at ease.

I just want to draw, draw, draw…

The other day, I took home a bunch of bright yellow mums from a shoot. They were just too lovely not to be photographed… And to be put on paper, for that matter.

kuntzel+deygas for diptyque

Got a chic surprise in my mailbox yesterday morning…

A sweet, new, limited-edition pair of scented candles from French perfumer Diptyque launches with a simple yet sophisticated video entitled La Belle, La Bête–”Beauty and the Beast”–named after both candles. Illustrated by Olivier Kuntzel+Florence Deygas and produced by their production outfit Add a Dog, it’s a decidedly edgy, stylish take on the classic fairytale. Snippets:

The deliciously haunting music playing in the background is “Celestial” by Tunes United.
