... there'd be writings on the wall.


"It is about floating through life, not being too cautious. If you choose to let whatever happens happen, incredible things will come along." -Freja Beha Erichsen

An interesting article about her:

... there'd always be a special place for this one.

Happy Birthday Miss Edie Sedgwick. Your birthday candles burned too fast..

...Freja would live in it. ;)


She's not my only girl crush, I'm lucky and open enough to have had some real ones, but if I was to invite my imaginary girlfriend to an evening of "just hanging out", she'd definitely be the chosen one! :)
I love her overall look, her style, her attitude... she's the living, breathing definition of believable "sexiness without effort" to me.... and as it happens to a million other folks, who are coming to terms with their mild or major obsession with androgynious beauty. Here are some of my favorite pictures of her.




A great Freja fix: http://frejabeha.blogspot.de/  The best I've found so far.

... it would look something like this.




I wanted to start my very first blog-post with this picture.
Lets take a moment of silence. ... now isn't that just pure perfection? When i saw this picture the quote that now serves as my blog-title instantly came to mind. If love was a room, it would look something like this.

I never get tired of looking at this room. Everything amazes me. Though the architecture of this space is wide and open and rather minimalistic, the room still feels cozy and inviting. I might imagine it's due to all that wonderful light, the different and natural textures, and the organic colors of the furniture pieces, which blend in together perfectly into this beautiful backsplash of wood and nature that you see through the wide floor-to-ceiling windows. The whole place gives a feeling of being sheltered rather than sitting in a glass case. There's so much warmth and love coming from this.

I try to imagine what this room would smell like... it's probably the beginning of summer... but i'm not too good at guessing seasons. It's definitly not hot yet, outside. Wearing a light sweater would be appropriate, for it's probably a little chilly where the trees cast shadows, but comfortably warm in places where the sun kisses the skin. Most of all there would be this certain feeling of positive agitation, which makes your skin prickle, and the wonderfully serene certainty of being right where you belong.

I'm sorry if i come of as somewhat crazy, but i think i'm totally having a major crush on this room, for quiet some time. ;) Do you get a similar reaction when entering a room or looking at a magazine scan of a room or property? Something that makes you think ... If love was a room, it would look something like this?

On a different note... does anybody recognize said property and maybe knows where it's located? I can't even give props to the designer/photographer, for I had found it some time ago by accident and didn't save the link, unfortunately. So this is probably bound to stay an anonymous love affair, for now.
