The Watch II

Here's another still life I worked in collaboration with Daniel Wellington again. This time, for Spring/Summer. I was really inspired by the way light moves and gets into our skin. How we suddenly become new with it. How we renovate ourselves. How everything seems fresh, relaxed and natural again.

I decided to go for the Classic Glasgow watch this time, the Nato strap is a friendly reminder of summer, the sand and the ocean. It has a certain reminiscence of freedom, that we forget about sometimes. It looks casual, but it's still a very elegant and versatile piece. One of my favorites.

The folks at Daniel Wellington were kind enough (again) to create another discount code for Spring. You can use the code 'victorstonemDW' until June 15th. So yeah, you better hurry and pick your favorite one!

Radical Transparency - The Twill Snap Backpack

I feel like I've abandoned this blog. I know It's been a couple of months since my last post but honestly, I've been crazy busy these days, so I didn't have the time to post as much content as I used to. Anyway, here I am again (I think?). Okay, now let's talk about this amazing Everlane backpack that I'm obsessed about.

When this backpack arrived on the mail (around last Fall), I was a bit confused. The color was perfect but somehow it looked too big for me. At least that was my first impression. 

Once I started putting all my [unbelievable pile of] stuff inside, it started to take a better shape. Since then, it has been my main backpack for school, work and even for some of my trips. It's just incredibly functional, my laptop fits perfect on the sleeve, the brown leather is gorgeous, and I can put all my equipment there if I'm working on a shoot. Great, no? Well, I'll write a post on how I pack soon.

Well nowadays, I'm used to strangers stoping me on the streets and claiming their love for this beautiful piece of design: 'Nice bag! Where did you get it?'. Yup, it's awkward sometimes; but when they ask, I answer it's from Everlane (with a really big smile on my face). Well what can I say? This backpack makes me very happy!

Weekend x Classic Specs II

Part two of my collaboration with Classic Specs!

This time, featuring the Waverly sunglasses in Moss. They're incredibly stunning, I think my favorite frames from Classic Specs, so far. They're made to fit almost any face, which makes them even more perfect. Isn't that great? I mean; to be honest, what else can you ask for?

Okay, anyway... Since I'm actually a little bit camera-shy, I asked my cousin Laura to be my model for this shoot (pardon the iPhone photos). Here she is:

Actually, the sunglasses looked kinda perfect on her, don't you think? We had a lot of fun shooting these photos yesterday. I hope you like them as much as we did :)

Weekend x Classic Specs

Guys... You know my weakness for a good piece of eyewear, right? Well, something amazing happened this past weekend.

I was so honored when Classic Specs -a new eyewear company based in Brooklyn- wanted to do a collaboration with me. I was guest posting at their Instagram feed for the whole weekend.

They sent these super cool Amherst Sunglasses to shoot still life series and lifestyle photos with them. I also took them around town, to showcase my favorite places in the city. I had a lot of fun! Head over their Instagram to see how the photos turned out!

The watch

Happy Saturday folks!

Here's a still life shot with my new Daniel Wellington watch. Such a classic piece! isn't it? I'm loving it so far. Mine is a men's Classic Sheffield on Silver. The minimal design of this watch is simply perfect (ahhh, you know me). The face is so thin, which makes it super easy to wear and that's something I just love!

Oh, by the way; The folks at Daniel Wellington were nice enough to create a discount code for you guys! You can use 'victorstonem' to get 15% off of all their products! (valid until October 15)

Sunnies

I know, I know... I talked about Persols last week, but these are probably the most perfect sunglasses I've ever seen.

I'm not sure if some of you have watched 'North by Northwest' with Cary Grant, but it's one of the most stylish films on Earth. I swear.

Well anyway, I was very distracted with the sunglasses that Cary Grant wore on the movie. They're just amazing! Don't you think? Since the day I watched it, I've been looking for a similar pair to wear this Summer. I found these, but I'm still not sure.

What do you think?

PERSOL 714

Such a classic! And so well designed, no wonder why they've been on my wishlist for a few months now. The Folding 714 Persol is one of the best sunglasses alive. Well, at least for me they're super cool.

Stills with L'œil

Oh, I'm so happy! As I told you here, swedish store L'œil sent me two beautiful bracelets a few weeks ago to take pictures of them and post them on Instagram.

The Chandler

Ok, I think you can officially call me a bookworm now. Just kidding... I probably never wrote about this on the blog but, remember my old glasses? Well, they broke more than a year ago, sadly. Aha, I know. I spent all that time blind without wearing glasses because I couldn't find the right ones (Yeah, you know I'm that complicated).

But then, I remembered Warby Parker! If you didn't know, they're an American eyewear brand, their design is truly beautiful and the quality is just great. I picked the Chandler, my all time favorite. There's even an illustration with them, crazy!

Some essentials

Ahh, it's getting hotter and hotter every day guys (Spring's hereeeee). Winter is officially gone in my country and that sucks. Don't get me wrong, I love Spring. But living in an island is not easy. It obviously has its perks, I'll write a post about that later.

Anyway, before we get deeply into all the Spring stuff, I wanted to show you some of my essentials for this season's transition. I've been carrying/using these items almost everyday, well, some of them... Ok here's the list:

Friday Stills

Hello!

So, this was a little story I decided to shoot earlier today. You know, I'm feeling very inspired by interiors and still life. Even my Instagram feed is full of shots like that. It's some kind of obsession. But to be honest, sometimes it's a little bit difficult to find the right props for the photos. 

This time, I grabbed my dad's old watch and some vintage art and photography books I stole from grandma. Anyway, this is just an experiment. I like to change the game and try different things sometimes, haha. I hope you like how the pictures came out! :)

The Herschel backpack

Here's the backpack that I use everyday for university. It's by Herschel Supply Co. and I love it. It's spacious enough to carry everything (my laptop, sketchbooks and books).

I've always been very picky when it comes to choosing backpacks,  I always try to look for something simple and minimalist, but beautiful and functional at the same time. Well, I think I found the right one!

What do you think? Do you like backpacks?
