This beautifully awesome song inspired me to post some pictures that I felt captured of the vibe of the song. Most of the pictures are stills from some of my favorite movies ("On the road" and "A Single Man"), the rest of the pictures are just random, mostly random ones of lana del rey. The song fits I think the first picture the best. It's from On the Road and shows Kristen Stewart, who plays the young Marylou crying in the car on her adventure with Sal and Dean. The warm sun light hits her face like a voice telling her it's all gonna be ok, but she knows exactly that it won't and that she's letting go of her childhood and home forever. She's staring back, saying goodbye. Since I'm graduating from high school in pretty much a month I kind of know how she feels, leaving something behind and entering the open road. So listen to the song and enjoy the pictures! (Of course I had to sneak in a picture of Chelsea Hotel's biggest star, Edie Sedgwick ;))

So I came across Jake when I was reading this months "Rolling Stone" issue. They listed him first under reasons why to be excited about rock. The british born 19-year old's music reminds me of a mixture of Bob Dylan and Jack White. I am completely addicted! Our nineties-born generation desperately needed an artist like Jake. The chain-smoking rookie already is starting to hit the U.S. and is bringing folk/rock right back where it belongs. You MUST check out some of his songs below! (I especially like the last one "Country Strong", very Bob Dylan!)
I love all forms of design. One of them is fashion. I like to get crafty with my own clothes sometimes. As the weather got warmer I decided to make a pair of special shorts for spring/summer. I took a pair of old H&M long blue pants and cut them to shorts. Afterwards I poured some bleach in a bucket and dunked half of them in the bleach. I also want to point out that I have new awesome sunglasses from Fizzen!
Don't forget to listen to Tegan and Sara's "Fool To Cry" which they covered for the HBO series GIRLS(at the end of the post). So good!

Hey there, I was in Berlin last summer with three of my best friends so if you're planning on going, do it! Awesome city, so much to do and loads of cool places! I would definetly recommend shopping, it's full of cool stores near the kurfürstendamm and friedrichshain for example. Another must see for urban city travellers is Tacheles(see pictures). Going out to bars and clubs is also a must. Here are some of my impressions of Berlin. Photos taken by me and Lucy S.-D.
