Jour 64

Travail du mois : Aller de l'avant

Pierre du mois : Sardoine

Voir la vie d'un autre oeil : Je résous un problème à la fois

Un exercice pour s'assouplir :

Debout, bien droit(e), le dos le long du mur, mais sans s'y appuyer, je lève les jambes devant moi, bien tendues et buste bien droit. Je fais cet exercice 5 mn, sur le même rythme.

Instruction du jour :

J'évite les gens négatifs et l'apport négatif des médias.

Etre soi-même, un jour à la fois

"Au coeur de l'hiver, j'ai finalement appris qu'en moi existe un été invincible" - Albert Camus

Chacun de nous doit trouver sa force intérieure qui aidera à traveser les périodes creuses de la vie. Nous devons trouver à l'intérieur de nous la force de continuer et de surpasser la nature accablante de ler condition. Cette force intérieure peut prendre diverses formes : la foi en l'amour de Dieu, la conviction que les épreuves de la vie nous rendent meilleurs, le sens profond de laresponsabilité et du devoir, l'amour indéniable de  soi et de l'autre.

Aujourd'hui, j'affronte les épreuves de la vie en trouvant ma force intérieure Cette force est alimentée par la conviction que je peux surmonter toutes les épreuves. En vivant un jour à la fois, j'éite d'accorder trop d'importance à mes épreuves futures.

J'ai tâché un vêtement en daim !

Saupoudrez la tache de talc et recouvrer de papier de soie. Laisser agir toute la nuit et frottez avec un chiffon propre. Renouvelez si nécessaire.

Sonny Groo from Stylelikeu.com from Stylelikeu on Vimeo.

occupation: fashion stylist and founder and editor-in-chief of MykroMag

Dutch-born Sonny Groo has perfected the art of assimilating the latest in fashion and making it his own. Never too trendy and always cultured, his style is so refined that you could throw everything up in the air that he owns and however it lands, the combination would work. He is extremely thoughtful and intelligent in his approach to making the changing tides of fashion work for him, without being a slave to the industry’s mecurial and possibly bankrupting temperament. For starters, everything is uncomplicated in black and white. There are the prototypal handmade black boots with the small heel that he wears with almost everything, whose shape is a subtle perfection of classic and cool and that he buys every year. He is a master of recreating the of-the-moment drapey pant for close to pennies, by wrapping obese-sized thrift shop trousers across his body and pinning others to create a sense of cascading folded couture artistry. Sonny is so sensitized to maintaining elegance (always at a small cost), that when he goes for something potentially gender-bending, he keeps it 007 polished, by choosing a black leather skirt, layered over pants, under the quintessential aristocratic trench and accented with shiny driving gloves. Sonny’s signature Lanvin glasses, that are both forward and timeless in their oversized appearance, are probably what tell the most about him, as he always wears them and they always work.

Akeem from stylelikeu.com from Stylelikeu on Vimeo.

I love the moment in Akeem’s video when he describes his coat as “I am here !” Everything about him is show-stopping, and he pushes the boundaries from his Josephine Baker curls to his Shabba Ranks-inspired dancehall braids and hat. He’s from Crown Heights, where his theatrical-like presence garners him a lot of attention, both positive and negative. However, it all bounces off Akeem, his self-possessed style only reflects his great energy. Classic becomes borderline fly in his vintage floor-length kilt, made modern with a Jellie shoe or rich and tribal with a Moroccan slip-on. Predictable becomes extravagant in his striking collection of furs and in his black leather jacket that he makes over-the-top Givenchy-esque by adding grommets. Akeem is heading towards a career in costume design, where I am rooting for his many inventive ideas (like shredding a white button down) to become legend.
