january so far.

I'm spending the entire month in my hometown in Brazil, doing nothing much than enjoying homemade food (yum!), enjoying the sunshine, going to my fav restaurants and cafés, drinking fresh juices and coconut water, wearing my summer clothes, having fun with the actual size of some fruit and how they smell so fresh and sweet... A nice break from cold and depressing january. Here are some everyday shots taken with a mobile phone.

2012.

vintage faux fur.

I hate myself wearing this coat without heeled shoes, but sometimes I just have to be practical, which during the cold months ALWAYS translates in Dr. Martens.

Paris.

From a month ago when I was in Paris.

2 years ago.

Could as well be today... or yesterday.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

Some pictures from a few weeks ago... Melon ice cream, easter egg, flower bouquets thrown away outside a cemetery, someone's balcony, pink nail polish, first blossoms.

spring awakening.

Spring awakening at least in this part of the world takes uncountable cups of tea, pieces of cake, cold feet, frozen hands, the expected frustration... This year, it snowed in march, again. And this cherry tree picture was taken in may last year, as the same tree is still barren. I don't thrive in constant gloomy atmospheres, I can sleep until forever if the sight through my window is nothing but infinite grey walls. I'm not those sunny people who bright a room with their smile, neither those who instantly fall asleep after a long warm day, who claim summer makes them lazy and sweaty (oh, those poor things!). No, I'm one of those who never get tired of warmth, brightness, birds chirping, bare legs, ice cream, flowers... But the very same birds from last year have rebuilt the very same nest in the very same spot in the very same tree I see through my window. Sometimes it rains, sometimes the sun shines... It's a long awakening, nonetheless I wait.
