Hello from New York

Union Square Fashion
The thing i most love about NYC is the freedom of choice when its about fashion - wear your favorite head-to-toe-rainbow-jumpsuit and no one’s gonna mind. One thing i least love about NYC is all the fashionata slaves women - they abound everywhere.

Montreal artist david altmejd
This is just a part of an absolutely amazing piece by this Quebec born artist, to see at www.andrearosengallery

Trying new glasses
Eyewear Shopping: I bought some, not the ones you see me here with… but i still love these, that is why i took a picture. What do you think?

Most lovable & affordable fashion shop

i totally felt in love with Agatha Ruiz’s clothes - colorful, lovable, reality sizes available, and affordable. NY Soho, wooster street

Time to be
What i most totally enjoyed in this trip is the time i spent alone in my favorite coffee places. After spending 3 trips running around in the city, i felt it was time just to have this trip to enjoy the places i like, and discover a few new ones.

Rare Device Brooklyn, last days: the shop was full, and so small. Now closed, new location in SF.

Me @ Moma: The moma is, the moma. Top floor exhibition is a must, the cafe is also a must, and the moma shop is absolutely and completely over priced.

Walking dancing running in NYC

We’re about to head to New York City, once more. At this time of the year, the city is a must. Of course, it is nothing like the nature and stillness i crave for, but a vibrant on-the-go city like New York has a unique energy which i always feel compelled to be part of.

I’ve got to travel a little after this long winter, be on the go for adventures, this to feel myself alive again, see-hear-feel new things, get a little sense of newness and freedom, so bear with me while i’ll be visiting Rare Device Brooklyn shop (just before it closes), PictureBox, some of the best Gluten free and vegan restaurants (Babycakes), some rare venues such as MonkeyTownHQ where we’ll see a live performance via skype while enjoying our meal, Etsy labs, Marimekko store, art galleries, museums, parties and so on. No schedule, just us and the city.

DIY travel agent

Here’s my secret to find the best flight tickets. Get on the ITA software itinerary - be curious and try it out, find the flight that suits you best in time and price, then contact the airline to book your ticket, all by yourself!

Places: Canada

On aime les voyages, et les voyageurs - ceux qui partagent avec nous sur le web leurs aventures, et paysages d’autres lieux. Voici Alex, version couleur azur, qui partage sur flickr son voyage à travers le Canada. Pour vous éveiller en ce lundi unpeu gris.

Places: Copenhague


Hotel Fox, Copenhague

These are pictures from the uber trendy Copenhague Hotel Fox - I’d try the room left on the picture :)

The love of mountains, a family affair

Chris always wants to go higher - if we see a mountain, he’ll first think of climbing it. These are stunning pictures of his mom, Christine, obviously still on top of things. I, from what i saw in our summer holidays in Corsica, i’m not (yet) a mountain type of person - being high in the sky left me feel uber sick most of the time, not able to enjoy the view over the mountains top. Hope these will make you travel, safe from your computer seat!




Be back home

Welcome back home

Apart from the huge amount of snow waiting for us at home, this plant bloomed better than ever while we were away. What a suprise to discover it on my desk the night we came back!

Berlin's coffees

This one breaks my heart - i so miss the apfelstrudel - i think we almost ate one a day during our stay.

One of my favorite coffee in berlin, Einstein - will for sure be part of my next book which will be about my best of Berlin.

Lulu's delivery Lulu's delivery

One of my favorite berlin’s find, the work of Juju’s delivery - absolutely touching.

In all, very happy to be back home after a wonderful time spent in Europe.

You can find previous posts about this trip here, and here is the full picture album of our trip, enjoy!


Berlin is so gray

Our cooperation with berlin’s street artist 6. We were there me and chris for 2 hours to create sculptures and paint around. The installation can be seen on kopenicker str 137.

‘Berlin is so gray, why dont you wear color?’, ‘Smile to strangers’, ‘xplore’, ‘heart’, ‘inspire’, ‘forgive’, ‘re-invent’ were the keywords i used.

Ars Electronica

Here are some pictures taken during our visit at the Ars Electronica center in Linz.

Ars electronica
us in the Gulliver’s world which we created. The installation is pretty complex and assistance is needed to fully use it, but quite impressive,

Ars electronica
take your picture, draw or write over it and add it to the other visitors pictures,

Ars electronica
The ‘Chic-o-mat‘, funny to merge your portrait with other visitors - we of course merged our 2 faces to see how our kids could look like…

Ars electronica
my favorite installation, called ‘The perfect time‘, user create a sand wall on which are projected animations - beautiful and inspiring, really

Ars electronica
the diorama table, where elements such as birds, flowers, trains are following the patterns of movement depending on how you place ropes and other elements laying on the table

Ars electronica
here anyone could create a melody on this table which is reading the order and size of each element placed on it,

Ars electronica
a nice and intuitive interface called ‘The slot machine drawing‘ where its possible to create an animation while painting as if on a canvas.

Orange and Yellow

are 2 colors i love

Yellow
Orange
