simple package/minimal choices

Ever think about brands and their logos? the transformation they go through.. first the decision on their name, then the branding, the color choices etc.

here are some transformations.. however backwards from what I have just told you.. it shows the simplifications of branding.. what a bottle design would look like with out all the mambo jambo.. and how simplificity works (better)

wanna be friends?

Remember when you were a kid, you would make your own friendship bracelet? I do. I loved making them. But not for friends.. I made them for myself and for family members. I made a special one for my mom but she never ever wore it.. I think she might even have thrown it away..

I am inspired to make more now.. I should get into it!

furnish and decorate / amazing!

I fell in love with these as soon as I saw them.. all images are from 9gag.com !

First is the book bed! what an idea! amazingly fun!

this is an incredible design.. can you imagine the view...

you are swimming over your garden.. or your entrance door..

it might be scary (a little) but the idea of it is just - amazing!

everyone has corners in their house... (I have never seen a room without corners - this might be a design idea by the way)

so these frames, might actually bring something new to the table..

sick and tired of the straight wall frames.. then buy these!

wonder where we can get them! ?

can't get pets in your building - like me - then get fish..

and what better than this?

this is just amazingly beautiful! so inspirational..

it looks like a hamster playground- but for fish!

fuuuunnn!

It's my birthday! / bugun benim dogum gunum!

It's my birthday today.. how old am I? 23!!! yes, 23 years old..
Bugun benim dogum gunum (ne zaman bunu soylesem yada yazsam aklımdan bugun benim dogum gunum, hem sarhosum hem yastayım melodisi ile soyleyip devam ediyorum sarkiyi aklımda oynatmaya!).. yas:23 oldu.. napalım, oldu bir kere.. ileriki yaslara bakacagız artık!


I loved the Chipettes and Alvin& The Chipmunks so.. here's a little song for you all:
Chipettes leri ve Alvin ve Chipmunkları cocuklugumdan beri cok seviyorum: ve iste size onlardan kucuk bir video bugunun serefine..



how to celebrate this year? Who knows.. I skyped with "my baby", thanks to him we blew some candles online.. and I am really thankul and greatful I have him i my life..
Nasıl kutlayacagım bu gunu? en ufak fikrim yok.. ama bebegim ve ben saat 12yi vururken sanal bir sekilde mum ufledik beraber.. daha guzel kutlama olamazdi bu durumumuzda.. guun geri kalanina da bakalim.. neler olcak.. haber veririm sizlere..

I was this and turned into who I am today.. a blast from the past:
Evet bu kucuk kiz bugun buyudu.. ne kadar buyudu tartisma konusu ama degisim var tabii ki..

Happy birthday to me and all others born today.

Iyi ki dogdum! bugun doganların dogum gunu kutlu olsun!!!

I really like the combination.. however what I like the most is the blouse and the tie!

i believe we all learn this everyday in our lives..

effortless chic! really like the black and the white.. also the bangs of course..

after watching The 4th kind (soon to write a review of- hopefully) I am obsessed with owls..

well I was after Harry Potter too..

I sleep in them: and my dad hates me for it ..

it would be amazing to fly.. to move in air as you wish.. wouldn't it?

I certainly wouldn't hang like this.. but would try to do a back flip..

Dexter baby!

i want this don't you?

killing time/love

I am no artist.. I have never been good with drawing or painting.. 

however I try.. 

i like killing time, scribbling things, painting here and there.. 

and then throwing them away or stashing them in a drawer.. 

so..

while I needed to kill time today.. I thought I could maybe give this to "my baby"

as a mini/tiny present..

remember this image from new years..

well, I painted something similar.. tried at least.. 

what do you think?

not so bad right? 

I know I am no Monet or Picasso.. but it is heart felt... 

that should mean something 

new year resolutions..

as hours left to starting a new year.. 2011.. I have to make some new year resolutions like everyone else..

I am going thru some changes in my life..

some possible space and time differences are going to be in my life..

(a change of city, continent to even make it more obvious to you)

I might not be in the states after February and may move back to Istanbul due to my recent graduation and the need of work..

so my new years resolutions are guided by my mixed feelings and confused mind.. so please bare with me.. 

1. Happiness

I want the happiness I felt all year and more if possible around me and my loved ones..

I want to be able to smile everyday, laugh and enjoy life..

and never forget that:

2.Love

I want to continue to be in love, stay in love and have ''my baby'' be in love with me too..

I wish to see more couples around, more love in the air..

I want to make myself and him happy..

3. Weight/Health

My recent gain weght is causing me problems.. I do not feel healthy.. I just feel heavy..

I want to loose all the weight that I have gained.. and be more fit and healthy than ever..

4. Success

either with my possible new job or somethişng else, I want to be successful.. I want to make myself proud.. I want to make my parents proud..
I believe this is going to be my life with an extra ''my baby'' thoughts in it..

5.Seeking Happiness

I want to inspired and continue to be inspired of my fellow bloggers..

I wish I could reach more followers and have more comments on this blog..

I wish to find my own voice and never be afraid to use it!

6.Flowers

I want to have flowers in my room everyday.. I want to smell the freshness, the life out of them..

I want to feel like butterflies

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERY ONE!

I HOPE WE ALL HAVE A MORE PEACEFUL YEAR, FILLED WITH LOVE, JOY AND LAUGHTER..
