The evening light

Quick evening sketches while vibing to tINI. This adorable German artist struck a chord with me in the fall and has not yet ceased.

Homo Faber by Kamen Kamenov

~99% of the mass of a human is composed of 6 basic elements. We are nothing more. Yet we complicate our lives to no end.

I'm drowning in this place you call "home"

...Drowning, yet dreaming.

An unconventional charm

I came across this blog with a variety of street style shots. The ones below bring to mind child-like play through bold colours, layers and prints, all with a touch of vintage. It's refreshing to see simple looks enhanced by quaint details. Aspire to incorporate articles of clothing from the past into today, and from one season to the next, or with different accessories. This cute videoclip goes along perfectly.

Follow the sun

 

Subtle femininity is enchanting. The way the light bounces off the contours of a woman can only be enhanced by even more delicate clothing. Simple and pure, like the sun itself.

Mademoiselle,

(My photo; not my quote)

Words to live by. Things come and things go. We can't please everyone so we need to be true to ourselves. Once we love ourselves, we are free to love others with full hearts, rather than exploiting qualities in people for our own selfish benefits.

"Mademoiselle, les choses changent, rien n'est éternelle, la vie suit son cours dans un flux temporel!"

A few of my favourite looks from the Razvan Ciobanu SS 2012 show in Cluj. I love the femininity of the subtle colours and soft structure, complimented by simple hair and makeup. The venue provided the perfect backdrop by combining old world elegance with the trends of today.  (Via Flash Me)

Happy Monday Inspirations

Some sunny, smiley Monday inspiration for those hard at work. Wear something cheerful and make time to enjoy nature! I am definitely enjoying my neon yellow blazer and ripped jeans.

Rise with the sun

One of the best things to do for yourself is have a morning routine. For me, it brings a sense of peace and calm when I awake before or with the sun.

El color es vida, la vida es color

Colour, especially neon, is sure to brighten your day (and maybe others) when worn in a complimentary fashion. Some ideas are below, highlighting combinations with other colours, patterns, and shades. Lastly, remember to smile as it is the best thing you can wear! (Via How Cute is That)

Node & Anti-Node

Relax while watching the hustle and bustle from below. I love spaces with lots of light; it feeds the soul. (Source: Sex for Breakfast)
