View of Barcelona from Tibidabo: a must do!


Gràcia, despite its village-within-a-city feel, it is one of the hippest areas of Barcelona

Note to self: NEVER open the back cover until the film is completely rewound!
This had to be Piscines Picornell at Montjuic,
one of the most beautiful swimming pools in the world.

Miredondemire, a talented Spanish illustrator

I just came back from a few days in Barcelona, a dream for design lovers and architecture addicts! Pictures will follow soon, but I wanted to introduce you to a Spanish friend of mine who's an illustrator:

Mireia Corcoles

This young talented lady is a very good illustrator. I met Mireia 6 years ago, when she was on Erasmus in Belgium. Since then she has been living in Amsterdam, New York and London to work in the better design and advertising agencies. Recently she moved back to Spain, to Barcelona.

Check out her work on tumblr or facebook! I'm a huge fan!

The Great Gatsby: a feast for the eye

Already madly in love with Fitzgerald's masterpiece, I was very eager to see the movie directed by Baz Luhrmann, known from Rome + Juliet and Moulin Rouge.

I know there are haters, as there always are, but honestly: I think Gatsby is really great! Luhrmann paints a good picture of a lifestyle and a decade that is both fascinating and horrific, the Roaring Twenties, the jazz age.

You might predict Luhrmann would opting for music of that era. However, the soundtrack features songs by by Fergie, Lana Del Rey, Florence and the Machine, Jay-Z, Nero, The xx, and will.i.am. I'm wondering if Fitzgerald would be a fan of the sound.

So Gatsby is great, yes. The film is quite the audio-visual entertaining ride, maybe the story could be a bit stronger, but definitely enough right ingredients to watch it on the big screen!
