Anti Valentine’s day gifts ideas

shopping

I must say, Valentine days’s gifts are cheesy but man so are anti-valentine’s day! It took me a while to discover something kind of cute that I could show you here, to complete last year’s post. But finally, here you have a few cool gifts if you are forced to buy something today and you don’t like all this hearty-cheesy things. If not, you can do just like me and buy anything at all : )

“What would you do if your wife got cancer? Photographer Bob Carey decided to wear a pink tutu and do autoportraits in a wide variety of places in order to raise money for breast cancer research. This was in 2003, and he didn’t only swallow his pride but also the cold that I guess was doing in some of the spaces!

Say it with design: Love you daily

art, design, english, ilustration, photography, websites

ENG. I don’t want to sound corny, but I guess a bit of love is always good, isn’t it? And if saying I love you means also a good design, that’s even better. What I wanted to share with you today is a project made by amercian designer Zach Graham.

In his website he explains that saying I love you is awesome, but he wanted to give it another meaning. That’s why everyday he creates a different image with those 3 magical words, so her fiancé can feel this love in another way. A mix between illustration, graphic design and photography that spreads love around is the result of this project.

This is great, I mean, how creative must you be to create such an amazing project? And, even more, how deeply in love must you be?

You can also follow his tumblr to see more of this love images.

Etsy ♥: Il Gatto Selvatico

art, english, fashion

ENG. Looking for stuff for the post I wrote about Norway last week I found Il Gatto Selvatico shop in Etsy. Her Norway necklace instanly attract my attention but that was before I discovered all the pretty jewlery that she has made. That’s why I decided to make her my Etsy ♥ of today. Because of this and also

– Because she likes cats, and her shop is called ‘the wild cat”

– Because she has lived in Italy and also think it’s the cat’s motherland

– Because she made me FF, and this is such an honour.

– Because she has plenty of necklaces from countries around the world, and this is awesome and really creative.

This are a few of her jewels in the shop, but you can find more here and follow her on Twitter here.

 

 

we create chemistry.

advertising, english

ENG. Despite I’m enjoying my holidays, my mind can’t stop thinking on what I usually study about so any good advertising can keep my attention easily. That’s what happened while I was watching the National Geographic channel (don’t laugh, it’s kind of interesting) and I saw this ad from the chemical company Basf. I thaught it would be really effective as an advertising campaign but, for a moment, I wasn’t thinking on this stuff but on what the ad meant to be.

I like the first quote: “we believe that if love is a chemical reaction, chemistry has the chance to make the world a more harmonious place“.

Isn’t it true? How awesome can chemistry be? I never thaught about that, and now I regret not paying that much attention in my school time. Actually, they never told us about those amazing facts, so I can understand why I was so bored in class… They say chemistry makes good relations between people, that’s probably the reason why I was spoking to someone at class… Now I see, it’s chemical’s fault!
