Blog love: A creative mint

Ludmila — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 04:00:59 +0000

If you still didn’t hear about Leslie Shewring then you must be living on another Planet. Leslie is the famous color columnist on decor8 whose posts we breathlessly await every month, Leslie is an amazing artist and photographer, Leslie is the creative person behind this visual delight – A Creative Mint (which is a gem of a blog, by the way!). There is really no need to explain who is Leslie, right? She’s THE blogger we must know and look up to :). One thing I love about her blog is how well categorized are her posts, it’s so easy to browse when you have them organized by colors! Here are some of the too many pictures I wanted to share with you:

Here’s purple.

And pink…

And yellow…

Juicy orange.

And then there are the soothing neutrals (how yummy is the last image?)

Told you, visual delight!

Mid-week treats

Ludmila — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 03:00:30 +0000

I know I normally don’t post about food here on the blog, but every once in a while I’m tempted to share with you delicious photography from all around the Internet. I though I’d start with macaroons, because everybody loves them, but then there are these adorable little cupcakes that I can’t stand. Oh well, enjoy these few pictures and if you’d like to indulge yourself more, hop on my Pinterest board which is created especially for cupcakes and macaroons - because I really think that even lovely (edible) treats might inspire us :)

How pretty and full of of joy is this engagement? Looking at pictures of this kind makes me happy (for the photographed people) and lifts my mood up to the sky where I just can’t stop smiling and feel the bliss and emotions filling the shoot. I thought it would be the perfect way to start the week, so have a joyful Monday! xo

A day in Novi Sad

Ludmila — Mon, 02 May 2011 19:02:57 +0000

Hello, my lovelies! I missed you so SO much, I’ve been visiting my parents the time I was away, so thank you for understanding the lack of posts (I was offline for the entire time, but not because of Internet connection – I decided to disconnect for awhile and get some rest). Now I’m back and cannot wait to get back to my little routine (who would’ve thought I’d like my routine, right?). Unfortunately I didn’t take any pics in my home country, but today the husband and I had a little trip and visited Novi Sad, a beautiful city in Serbia and I did take pictures that I’d like to share with you. The architecture I’ve seen today was beyond amazing and if you know what is Novi Sad all about, you know that this is a peaceful, old town, with tiny streets which feel untouched time-wise. All in all, a place you must visit if you happen to be in Serbia!

downtown of the gorgeous Novi Sad

We visited castles, monasteries and a fortress and believe me the trip was unforgettable, I totally recommend visiting that part of Serbia, I know I’m going back!

And of course I needed to take pictures of flowers during our trip! Just look at these tulips – pure gorgeousness!

I hope you’re all doing great, see you tomorrow with new (regular) posts :). xo

Happy weekend…

Ludmila — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 20:00:26 +0000

Just as I said in my previous post, I popped by again to wish you all a lovely weekend, with a pretty post which I hope you’ll love. I figured that we all love balloons. All of us, no exception! And so I put together a small collection of balloon-y pictures which are cheerful, airy, dreamy and all in all beautiful pictures. I thought this would be the perfect way to wish you a gorgeous weekend and to thank you for your support and visits for the past week!

Enjoy, loves!

Have a good one! xo

Mikkel Vang Photography

Ludmila — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 12:43:19 +0000

It’s such a delight to flip through my bookmarks, you know? After a long day, I finally come home, have dinner, grab my laptop and dive into the HUGE list of bookmarks I’ve saved throughout my blogging experience. Bookmarks of sites that made me gasp, smile, be mesmerized and inspired all at once. Today was no exception and while scrolling and checking my bookmarks I came across this great photographer, Mikkel Vang! Perhaps you already know about him as his work appeared in famous shelter magazines such as Vogue Living, Elle Decoration, Harpers Bazaar and more. I loved Mikkel’s work mainly because of the stunning balance seen in his photography: chic extravaganza and a livable ambiance, airy light places against dark, very dramatic ones. And it all felt perfectly good, with no exceeded limits.

What can I say? I slowly died when I saw the Scandinavian touches, the black matte tub and the dark navy, simply delicious, furniture!

What do you think, agree with me or not?

{Gorgeous} Photography by Miki Duisterhof

Ludmila — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 18:36:33 +0000

Today while going through my multiple and very inspiring bookmarks I came across a name which caught my eye and spoke to me, whispering a tempting ‘stop’. I’m sure this happened to you at some point, right? Well, you won’t believe how mesmerized I was when I clicked on the category ‘Interiors’. All the pictures were right up my alley, very shabby chic, romantic and even feminine – and what else can a girl ask for after a working day :)? So the magic name is Miki Duisterhof and she’s a photographer, a fabulous one (just wait to see her clients: West Elm, William Sonoma, Veranda and many, many others!). Seriously, I was hypnotized by all that beauty! Here’s what I’m talking about:

Miha Matei Photography

Ludmila — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 09:11:35 +0000

I’m more and more in love with Romanian artists and creative minds. First I must mention Freshome, a fabulous site about interior design (last week I found out that the founder of the site lives not so far away from me – exciting!), today I read about Mario Badescu, who is also from Romania, known worldwide for his line of skin care products and now Miha Matei, a talented photographer born in Romania, now living in New York and Los Angeles with her husband and son. In Miha’s portfolio I found pictures which were in my inspiration files since forever, yet I never knew that they were taken by her, like the below picture which can be seen in the post about Ashe+Leandro Interiors. Miha’s photography is stunning and her portfolio is one of those which you want to fully take from her site and just put it on your blog, it’s that good!

And the pictures above are from the category ‘interiors’, wait until you see her food and lifestyle photography! Blissful if I say so myself!

Hope you enjoyed being introduced to Miha Matei Photography and as always, what do you think?

Stefan Thurmann Photography

Ludmila — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:21:24 +0000

Stefan Thurmann is a Hamburg-based photographer who takes some seriously wonderful pictures! Of course his work wouldn’t be the same without the brilliant stylists he’s working with, but nonetheless his eye catches the beauty of what he’s shooting, far beyond what we all see. In Stefan’s portfolio you’ll see calming, neutral rooms, with cozy blankets and wood all over, as well as some other shoots, more contrasting and stylishly edgy. His work was published in many magazines and without teasing you more, here are few pictures from Stefan’s portfolio which appealed to me the most!

Aren’t these pictures a pure delight for your eyes? I’m especially loving the pastel rooms, they’re so soothing! What do you like the most?
