Atlas Pasaj-Taksim

I am writing more about vintage shop stops in istanbul.I visited Atlas Pasaj before my vacation and I was always staring at the window of Örümcek (store that sells vintage sunwear,hats,bags,and more).I had chance to talk to owner of Örümcek.There are many accessories that are interesting pieces that must be checked out.I liked the handbags (I bought one),and I tried sunglasses that are timeless(very old).










the sunwear pieces are beyond great but they are expensive for the price.




earrings,neclklaces,headbands etc...

I think its a pretty old place with suprising pieces every vintage lover should visit.

Teens on Bicycles... Santa Cruz Style

(photo by ridingpretty)

Here we have three teens on an average summer day in Santa Cruz. This is a dedicated bicycle and pedestrian path that goes along beautiful West Cliff. People here are so wonderfully laid back. It's so California and it's why Santa Cruz has the nickname; 'The Cruz'....There just aren't the path wars that other urban cyclists have been complaining about in their neck of the urban jungles. It's the attitude that matters, TG we're a basically a laid back, unified community and probably owing a lot of it to the Surfer Vibe. Slow down and watch for Surfers crossing!!! We love our Surfers.

{two lovely things: gold + geometric}

Always drawn to gold in interiors, especially in geometric patterns such as this beautiful wood and metal shelf {above} and hand-forged gueridon table with gold gilding {below}, perfectly matched with a swing-arm sconce and brass shade . . .

The Profile of Miss Johannesson

Hello, Hello, my friends!
How are you?
Well, today has been a long, but good day;
been drawing and painting all day.
Did this painting of one of my favorite models Mona Johannesson.
I've been eyeing this picture of her for a while now.
I love this photo shoot, it's wonderful,
so i ended up painting it today.
Kinda reminds me of Audrey Hepburn a little.
Well, i hope you like it! :)
