MONOCLE

I recently discovered this beautiful new cafe opening up in London, Monocle Café, via the amazing scandinavian fashion house COS.

take a look at the gorgeous, minimal aesthetic they've created:

LIE

it is a sort of grey afternoon in Montreal, but I like this sort of weather. It isn't raining, but it's definitely thinking about it.

this is some of my favourite music, that I have recently re-discovered inside my own record collection. Listen to "Lie" from Apse's Climb Up. Apse is now ERAAS, who released a great self-titled debut on Felte this year that you should listen to.

Apse - Lie

apse.

here is a new lookbook for you...

I have no idea what spurred this idea for me, but this is the sort of thing I do on a Saturday off.

SPACES

not sure why I am so inspired by spaces/interior design lately... perhaps because I am thinking too much about my future and such things. maybe I will create a new category "spaces" on the blog. maybe.

here are some photos from a new book Impossible Reminiscences from iconic Swiss B&W photographer René Burri, with some of his work in colour photography.

INSPIRATION

often times, when people visit my apartment, their reaction is a favourable one. It tends to be warmly-received as "neat". however, in the back of my mind, I am always imagining better spaces... for anyone who knows me personally, I'm a very self-improvement driven person, and this applies to my interior spaces as well. I'm notoriously picky about everything. I will eventually settle and create a very elaborate and intricate apartment decor... but as I am still in-between cities and settling, my spaces are only very shallowly-finished, in my mind. I have images in my mind and one day I will create them.

here are some neat spaces/ideas I found today:
