Inspired by the movie Heavenly Creatures, a boy & a girl share their love for all things pretty & dreamy in their daily life.
A little peephole into worlds of old photographs, flowers, loveletters, tea leaves, ladies from the past & hazy songs under the moonlight.
Patricia is one of those girls you'd never expect to randomly meet on the streets, however, her beauty would certainly catch you eye's attention at once.

These are some of her favorite things:
♥ Camisola blanca con encaje, hecha por mi Madre Lacy blouse sewn by my mother

Here are her favorite things:
* The book on the right is from a very inspiring exhibition that I saw recently called 'Angels of Anarchy' which was a fantastic collection of women surrealist work, which included some of my favourite artists; Leonora Carrington, Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo and Lee Miller.
*The shell bra was made by my friend Lara Leaf, which I wore recently for a photoshoot we did together where I dressed up as a mermaid.
* I found the little bird's nest in the attic when I moved into my new home.
*Inside the nest is tucked a small crystal prism which I love gazing through and seeing everything reflected in rainbows.
*Rosebud and lace necklace that I made.
*The mermaid postcard is a painting by John William Waterhouse. I was lucky enough to see the original which is on display at The Royal Academy in London.
*The small mother of pearl brooch of a woman's profile was given to me by an old lady and close friend of mine when she was in her 90s. She bought this when she was a girl my age in Paris.
*A piece of honeycomb, which was also a gift from miss leaf, she keeps bees and this comb was one left over from a honey making session. She also gave me the bottle cap with the bee design.
* The necklace of broken glass comes from my mother, she bought it from a market in South Africa in the 70s.
*Delicate blue and red rose print head scarf - this is also my mothers.
*The picture of the two girls is the album cover for Belle and Sebastian for their record 'Fold your hands child, you walk like a peasant' which is a perfect album for dreamy summer days.
*The long pearl necklace I found washed up on the beach one day, i'd like to fancy it used to belong to a mermaid!
*The fox badge was made by a group of fantastic english (Brighton based) musicians who are all part of different bands but come together as a collective known as The Willkommen Collective.
*And the rest are a few assorted bits of ceramic, mirrors, shells, feathers and seeds - i'm always collecting little treasures like these on my travels!
All we can say about Osvaldo is that he's a gentleman, a lover and a greatly talented photographer. He wanted to share some of his favorite things with us and we are very happy with the unique way he chose to display them. We hope you enjoy this darling video he's made for us all!
Reynaldo is one of the most charming boys we've met lately. He seems to have a mind (and a heart) of his own which he always puts into everything he does. As for his soul, it radiates nostalgic memories that remind us of love and loss. He's also a very talented illustrator and was happy to share some of his favorite things with us. Enjoy!
