FLOW + AS YOU LIKE + COMPANY

Hi everyone ! Today we're talking about magazines, yup. 

You know I'm a big fan of magazines, I can't help buying them, keeping them for years, then using them for my scrapbooking projects. It's been a few years that I've discovered Company Mag which totally represents what I'm looking for when I want to read a smart yet light fashion paper. It's filled with humour, feminism and cool people. I love their covers and paper texture, yup, love everything about it.

I recently bought Flow, a new French magazine (but they already do it in Netherland and the UK I think) and it's just awesome. I love that it doesn't talk about fashion. I love that we don't see bodies, bodies, bodies. We don't need to, we know how bodies are. I love all the illustrations and the clever photographs. I love that it speaks to your soul. I was waiting for you, Flow. I want you in all languages and I want you for the rest of my life. Also, thanks a lot for the gifts, I was like OMG seeing the cool stickers and agenda, and then when I read the agenda, I was like so fucking positive. Thank you so much for finally existing. I want to know you more and your friends.

You see guys, I'm already talking to Flow as if it was my friend (it's actually my friend because a feel-good magazine this quality can't be nothin' but yo friend).

I also bought another new French magazine called As You Like and looooved it so much ! If you're a girl, loving the fashion-Internet scene, As You Like is for you ! You know how you like bloggers and you feel close to them and feel like you could be friends. Well, this magazine is here to prove you're right. Love the fact that it's written by our generation, it feels like a conversation with your bestie "hey did you see that blog ? the girl's so cute" and it feels good. As you can see on the pictures, they also included some coloring pages that I couldn't help but fill (at first I was like do I really do this to this new baby love ?). Obviously As You Like is more fashion oriented than Flow but still has some really good and researched articles that talks about all topics.

Do you have some favourite magazines ? Do you know some really cool and edgy (you'll tell me hey Flow is not edgy and I'll tell you yes it is, because in a world where only a sexy cover and bodies bodies bodies sell, I think it's pretty edgy to go and publish covers filled with birds and polka dots). I can't wait to discover more !!!

DIY - Pineapple Canvas Shoes

Hello Stradi girls and boys !!!

It's been so long since our last DIY post and we thought it was time to share a new project with you. Once again, it's a totally affordable and really easy project to do, and you can get inspired by anything (watermelon, graphic shapes and the list goes on...), so here are the directions (but seriously, the pictures speak for themselves) :

You'll need :

- A pair of affordable canvas shoes (lighter colors are easier to work with)
- Textile color pens that air-dry (ours are from Javana Texi-Max)

- A pencil

- Your design template

 1. Start by drawing your design (try a few times so you can get to know the gesture and be able to reproduce it).

Also try out your pens, just to make sure to colors will be just as you imagined.

 2. With the pencil, draw your design all over the shoes (and it's not a problem if your

pineapples aren't always exactly the same size...).

 3. When you're happy, start by drawing out the lines of your pineapples.

Don't worry, if you use textile-paint pens, the paint will be thick enough and won't smudge ;)

4. Color your pineapples ! So fun !

Don't forget to let it dry a few days (check out the instructions of your pens)

and to waterproof the shoes with a spray.

Voilà !

Beauty Review Video

Today we're sharing a new video on our Youtube channel where we talked about three products we're loving !

The new Fructis range is everything you need if you want to give volume and density to your hair. We absolutely loved the long-lasting pomegranate smell (in every product, even the spray !) and the amazing formula's quality !

OPI, as you may know, always comes up with amazing collections... Here we had the chance to try out the Infinite Shine range which gives you a perfect at-home gel manicure. The colors are amazing and it stays so long !

We also tried Glov's products which are just the perfect way to remove your make-up, only with water. It's great for sensitive and allergenic skins and it just really does the work (check it out in the video !). Also, it's a great way to reduce your wastebin and reduce costs :)

Thanks to Garnier, OPI, Coolbrandz and Glov for sharing the love with us :)

Share with us if you tried out any of these amazing products !!!
