Spring Cleaning


Yesterday we practiced using the photo-studio we have at uni. This was the outcome. I also managed to clean up my tumblr account which was something that simply had to be done. From now on I will only post pictures that I have taken and it will serve as a form of online portfolio. Here it is : http://lauralakeh.tumblr.com/

Case and Key Clothing Co.

My friend M. launched his own apparel brand today. It's called Case and Key. I had the honour of being his very first customer! His t-shirts are custom made and only 10 pounds! 



M. takes a white t-shirt and customizes it by tie-dying and hand printing his logo onto it, using a print screen and sewing the folded sleeves together.


He then sews his label onto the bottom.


And even the inside of his t-shirts have a personally printed label. 


And if all this isn't enough a handwritten tag with washing instructions and a thank you note are attached. 



I am very pleased with my new shirt and have never owned an item of clothing this personal. 

 Get your own here. 

P.S As stated on the website I would advise you to get them a size larger than you normally would.

KlangKunst




Whenever I am asked who my favourite music artist is, I always struggle to answer because of the variety of music out there. But when it comes to EDM I have made a definite decision: KlangKuenstler.
Klangkuenstler is German and means sound artist, which is a name that fits perfectly for the young producer.
His music falls mainly under the genre of tech- and deep-house, yet has an individual sound to it.
If you are looking for new music to listen to I recommend having a listen on his soundcloud.

Le Patinoire au Grand Palais


I recently got back from Paris. We did a lot of fun stuff such as shopping, going on walks, sight seeing and (my favourite) ice-skating at Le Grand Palais 
I have always wanted to see le Grand Palais simply for its spectacular architecture and what better way to experience this grand place than on ice? 
It was a great way to experience some culture and a splendid alternative to a museum. 
However the wait outside was very long and I recommend reserving tickets online . Here  is some more information about it.
It is open from the 13th of December to 6th of January so hurry before you miss your chance to experience le patinoire au Grand Palais. 







Once I have all my Paris photos gathered on my computer I will make more posts about my week in the city of romance.
