Indulge me #12 | Things that are worth sharing




Hello ~~ 라라라 예쁘게좀 봐주세요 욕하지 말아주세요...라라라 귀엽게 받아주세요 사랑해주세요 ~
A few minutes ago I got G-Dragon's new mini album "One of a Kind" and fell directly in love with most of the tracks on it. I listened to 'One of a Kind' and '그 새끼' before of course, the latter is really well-done. I love his voice, it sounds so pretty even though I hated hearing him singing in the past, lyrics are well-thought-out and the music video not only enhanced and facilitated his song, but not till I watched it I understood the meaning behind the song. 
'그 새끼' set the bar pretty high, so I wasn't sure whether I would be fond of the other songs as well. I do like '그레용' but it reminds me a bit too much of 'High High' by GD and T.O.P, I don't really enjoy this electro style a lot. 
'결국' is a lovely yet sad song about lost hope and love - I am a total sucker for these kind of songs, the female vocalist's voice has recognition value and G-Dragon's high notes are just so loveable.
'Today' is really good as well - on the one hand 김종완 (Kim Jong-Wan) singing with this high, smoothing and spine-tingling voice of his, on the other hand a sinful G-Dragon rocking himself through the song and being full of life and joy. I guess he has too much cheating on his girlfriend... (⌒▽⌒)
Last but not least 'Missing You'. I love this song, probably as much as '그 새끼'. It is mellifluous, jazzy, harmonious and miserable.

So if you haven't already got your hands on his mini album you definitely have to check it out - except you're not a fan of him but I guess you haven't bothered to read this if you weren't... 

Another thing I found just super hilarious and think EVERYONE has to watch at least once in his or her life! Three words: OH MY GOSH!


This woman definitely loves her sponges, oh yes, she does. Don't matter how often I already watched this it cracks me up every single time. "OH my gosh, WIGGLES, OH my gosh!"

Charlotte Ronson Spring/Summer 2013 Collection

 (Source: www.vogue.it)

Edgy and grungy yet feminine and a simple, just-woke-up style describe the whole collection of Charlotte Ronson the best.
On the one hand serene shirts and strap dresses, while on the other hand we get to see a lot of skin since the collection is predominantly filled with shorts and undergarments as tops. The chart of colour range is totally mixed, in between light shades like white and grey you will spot a lot of splashes of greens, blues and reds.

The reptile net works great with the leather she used for a few styles, it gives a strong and dominant effect. Most of her outfits were styled with plattforms to enhance not only the models body and gait but also the feminine appeal.

Another style which draw my attention to it are these translucent plastic jackets which came in different colours. Charlotte Ronson paired it with lace shorts or shorts in general and it amazed me that this ancient trend goes so well with modern fashion.

As for the models' look everything was quite simple. Strong brows and nude lips were combined with natural hair styles to complement the collection. The match of soft bends and a matte finish strikes a balance between wavy and straight.

Overall a really interesting collection of simple but fashionable styles. For more pictures and details of shoes and bags click on 'Read more'.

Indulge me #11 | Nappings, Studying & Relaxing

(Source: tumblr)

I haven't been really active during the last couple of days or ever since the beginning of September, because, as you might suppose after seeing the picture above popping up, I have to study yet again. On the 24th and 25th I have my last two exams for this semester, afterwards I am finally done- well, until I have to study again starting in February and not to mention that university starts already on the 8th of October...
Anyway, some day I will be super rich and stuff, so in the end all the hard work and sleepless hours because I didn't understood anything at all will be worth it. Hopefully. 

While browsing instead of studying annual accounts, which is by the way a pain in the ass, I came across some interesting "nap facts for college students". You don't mind if I share a few with you, do you?

It makes you smarter
According to Dr. Matthew Walker of the University of California, napping for as little as one hour resets your short-term memory and helps you learn facts more easily after you wake up.

Abandon all-nighters
Foregoing sleep by cramming all night reduces your ability to retain information by up to 40%. If you can, mix in a nap somewhere to refresh your hippocampus.

You can't avoid that down period after lunch by not eating
Human bodies naturally go through two phases of deep tiredness, one between 2-4 a.m. and between 1-3 p.m. Skipping lunch won’t help this period of diminished alertness and coordination.

But short naps are the best
For healthy young adults, naps as short as 20, 10, or even 2 minutes can be all you need to get the mental benefits of sleep, without risking grogginess.

Don't wait too long
The latest you want to wake up from a nap is five hours before bedtime, otherwise you risk not being able to fall asleep at night.

What I really miss is strolling through the city with my camera in hand and taking useless, boring and artistically valueless pictures. And making videos. Well, honestly speaking I haven't done one because my room is a hell of a mess, I reorganised my book shelve and bought two new shelves to have more space, but unfortunately I got a wrong size so I have to go back and get the right one before I can put my books back... Right now they chill and relax all over the place, everywhere lays a pack. I am sorry about that. Hopefully I will get the right ones next week, if so I guess I might do a video at the end of the week. Don't know yet. Perhaps annual accounts have already killed me by then... 

Guess I have to stop complaining now and get back ~ have a nice one!
