HOW COOL ARE MY NEW PANTS?! I scooped them up at H&M because 1-they’re awesome, 2-they were discounted after noticing a huge hole in the seam (which I easily fixed) and 3-….drumroll, please…POCKETS!!! It was meant to be. They make me feel like my legs are made out of tree bark..in the best way possible. So airy and comfortable, I want more! Oh and please ignore the silly faces, Olivia always makes me giggle!

16 hour drives. 6 days in paradise. 3 best friends. 2 disposable cameras. 1 amazing experience.

Life is good! That is all!

Oleg Duryagin


From Duryagin’s Biography: I use artificial nature of a digital photography as a tool to reach the point between opposites such as alive and dead, attractive and disturbing, beautiful and ugly. Thus I’m searching to transcribe the feeling of presence that you get while passing the plastic mannequin.
Meanwhile I believe that the surface of the photography is very important. And I try to do photos in a beautiful way, inspired with a classical paintings. Not for the beauty inself, but to create more powerful images.

Irana Douer


The colors, lines and details of Irana’s drawings so intriguing. I also love that most of her characters are women, woop!

Rochelle Haisley


Rochelle is one of my favorite female self-portrait artists. She pushes the limit and her images are always a beautiful self-reflection of her current state of mind. I’ve been keeping up with her for over a year now on flickr and she only seems to get better at what she’s doing! Such a powerful and inspiring woman.

Angi Welsch


I have known of Angie’s work for a few years now and have always been such a huge fan. Her relationship to the children she photographs is so full of love and clearly shows in her work. She has so many more amazing images on her Tumblr, highly recommend checking them out!

Elliott Burford


This is another one of Burford’s genius projects that I absolute adore. Illustrations reinterpreting and visualising the titles of emails found in your spam/junk box. How hilarious!?!

Kim Joon


Joon’s process via Art Rad Asia: “First he uses 3-D animation software to create the body or bodies he wants, and he constructs them. Then after building the 3 dimensional body, he works to get the image he really desires. Then, he grafts on the type of skin he desires—it could be animal skin, artificial skin, human skin. It could be skin of a leather bag or skin of a shoe. Any kind of texture- it could be a hard baseball. He uses this surface skin and grafts it onto the 3 dimensional image he created. This computer program is called 3-D Studio Max. It is the program used to create Shrek and other 3D animation films.”

As always, feel free to share your favorite artists by sending an e-mail to yumna@yumnaaa.com

I’ve been on a lovely beach vacation with my closest childhood friends for the past week. This mix is pretty chill–reflective of my super-relaxed state these days. I’m back to Brooklyn tomorrow to finish unpacking and organizing at my new apartment! Excitement!

And as always…I hope you all enjoy!

Jasmin and I have been planning on working together for what seems like ages now! We finally coordinated a shoot and it was phenomenal!! Shooting Jasmin was such an honor, she’s such a beautiful, strong, and focused woman…and of course, a huge pleasure to work with! The vibes were on point and I can already tell that we’ll be working together again in the future! The best part about the shoot was that she styled herself completely with the help of her best friend, Christian (who was also such a joy to have around.) I really love when creative minds can come together and produce magic, it’s truly one of the best feelings in the world! I hope you all enjoy these shots as much as we enjoyed creating them!

As I was leaving the first day of my internship in Soho, I ran into the charming William Yan! It is always such a lovely surprise to see him. His blog is one of my absolute favorites and I have a feeling that if you’re into reading my blog right now, you’ll thoroughly enjoy his! He’s got a keen eye for capturing amazing style and finding New York’s best! Enjoy my little loveys!
