James Bay

James Bay, charasteristic hat and long hair, is a British singer-songwriter and guitarist from Hitchin, England. He mostly plays indie pop, soul and acoustic indie and believe me, he's just amazing. His voice live, is even better than recorded, which is quite rare nowdays. He will release his very first studio album tomorrow, it's called Chaos and the Calm. Can't wait to hear! His EPs so far: The Dark of the Morning (2013), Let It Go and Hold Back the River (both 2014) and Other Sides (2015). I do believe 2015 will be the year of James Bay. Check out his official webpage here: http://www.jamesbaymusic.com/home/. I love him because his voice is pure orgasm and he's very talented, furthermore I do love his songs. It was such a hard issue to choose a song, but at last I made up my mind on Need the Sun to Break. Enjoy!

This new trend captivates everyone's imagination, have some ideas and inspirations below and do a half bun;)

Black and white in Sweden

Black, white and wood. Definitely a perfect combination for this stylish apartment in Sweden. Its design is quite modern and simple, though doesn't represent minimalism, it's rather cosy. The high and large windows of the apartment give the entire space a bright and special atmosphere. The ceiling is fairly high, which makes the whole apartment spacious. The living room and kitchen are on the first floor, bedroom and a study on the second. The interior is rich in details: printed pillows, hectic pictures, unusual chairs - everything is made with meticulous precision. I'd literally kill for this apartment.

Back to BLACK

I know it's spring already, time of lovely vivid and colourful clothes, but nonetheless I have an irresistible urge write a post about black clothes. Sorry everyone. I can never understand those people, who say 'um no, I don't have black garments'...What? Are you serious? Tragic...Black clothes are on the very top of the 'must-have' wardrobe list! Black is mysterious, elegant, fancy and contrary to general belief you can totally wear an all-black outfit without looking like a mourning widow. If you're creative enough, black clothes can be worn very varied. Enough words, here are some ideas/inspirations how to wear black with black. Stay Classy!
