Masculine

There is no major difference between men & women if we exclude the physical. We are relatively similar, which of course has been the great art of understanding since the dawn of time. What my guys thinks is neat, is according to my taste preferense too. Now I realize of course that we have affected each other because we live together. They have been brought up in an environment that I believe will accompany the throughout life. One tends to hold on to what’s one is used to from childhood, usually. Anyway, I’ve put together images that I think would fit well for guys, in any age. It’s typically my style so you won’t see nothing outside the ordinary. On the other hand, I’m just an ordinary woman 🙂

Daily inspiration, basic design

I like clothes that have a nice detail & which isn’t directly conspicuous. Just basic design, simple materials, simple cut, classic & timeless. They should be easy to combine too. I liked this solution for its simpleness. Spotted blouse with jeans & the fancy detail with the zipper on the side of the sweater. Sometimes, it need not to be more than this.

Daily inspiration, timeless

Some people has a look & appearance that seems to fit in any situation or time. It can be from hair style, type of clothing or just the face. They never go out of style & you could fit them in which decade you’d like. A classic appearance, simply! My sons has both similar haircuts. They are right now very much, into the preppy-style. It’s the usual jeans or chinos with polo shirts or shirts & thin knitted sweaters with v-neck or round neck. (there’s not much change to this style, when it comes down to it, really). If this photo had been in color instead of black & white, you’d not noticed the difference from then to now. That is, if it had not been James Dean. It could have been any photo, in any magazine today. As I see it, at least.

Bleak images, maybe

Bleak images does not sound particularly inspiring, do they? I guess some might find these a bit depressing. Is it a suitable description? I just felt that I wanted something less colourful & more dramatic. The lighting, colour selection & props, enhances the atmosphere in each image. I’m aware of that everything doesn’t have to be bright & colourful to be perceived as interesting or exciting.

It feels liberating, for my part, to ignore the otherwise ordinary images that I usually choose. You know, you have your style & your preferences which you sometimes unconsiously bases your choices on. A style whom you have a weak heart for. Well, since some friends said I’m very Scandinavian in my taste, I thought I might try to challenge my self. But just so you know, this type of images are not my cup of tea 🙂

Hairspray

Hair is fairly essential for the look, don’t you think? It reflects your personality, your style & how you want to look at certain occasions. Maybe it’s not that important with hair. It says more about us humans perhaps, that we are relatively vain – rightly so maybe. We often have the desire to be different & what captures the first impression is what you see, of course. The reason for today’s post is of course that it’s time to make an appointment at the hairdresser. The reason for today’s post is that it’s time to make an appointment at the hairdresser. The only thing I do, is to cut off two cm & possibly color the roots. I’m indeed very exciting

But the inspiration flows when I’m there. It’s fun to listen to conversations in progress & browse through the latest magazines. Above all it is exciting to see when different customers are done – if they look anything like they thought, before they started. It seems so, they are always very happy. I’m at least always amazed at the change. You know, just how much you can do with hair & how that changes the person completely.
