Festive greetings

This has been an eventful year. I was blessed enough to travel to Hungary and around South Africa with my husband. I experienced new cultures and made new friends, ate strange food and drank a lot of wine. Will post some photos next time ;) 

My list of things to be thankful for this year is truly too long to mention.

  

May you all experience peace and share this festive season with the ones you love.

Wardrobe essentials for summer

Distressed denim shorts, you can combine them with any style from sporty to boho

The white shirt, dress it up at night or just keep it casual.

Kimonos come in hundreds of styles, choose a few different ones to mix it up. They are great to throw over any outfit or even over your bikini at the beach.

A fringe leather bag is definitely worth investing in this summer. 

Get up and live

We live in a world with so much to enjoy, go outside and feel the sun on our face. 

 Here are some of the things I am looking forward to enjoy this summer.

Spring is here

The spring breeze carries away winter on her back. It’s a time of new birth and nature is yearning for the first rains to wash the last of winter's dullness away.

Man's best friend

Some cute pictures of our four legged friends, that capture the bond between human and dog. Young and old can share a special connection with these loving animals.

 The first picture is of Magnus, our SPCA rescue dog, he was due to be put down in a few days when we adopted him. Now he is a proud, healthy, very loyal part of our family.

Dreams

I dream

I see things through the filter of my imagination, my creator gave me a longing for beauty in this world,
a need for inspiration, to capture my heart. The everyday routine can way my heart down, please come lift it up with Your beautiful creation.

All Analogue

I love all things analogue

There is something raw and truthful about its imperfections. I do a little bit of analogue photography myself. Film is actually surprisingly easy to find if you do your homework. www.lomography.com is a very helpful website. Take your analogue partner to the streets and point it at anything you see, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the results.

Autumn/Winter essentials

These clothing items are my personal favorites to keep warm this winter, because they are versatile and can be styled to create many different looks.

The leather jacket:
You can go biker, rocker, indie or boho if you add a fringe bag.

Fluffly fur, be kind to animals:
A fur waist coat or gilet works great for "in between" season layering.

Chunky scarf:
Speaks for it's self!

Oversize sweater or knit:
A very flexible item in your closet. You can dress it up or casual and go from one look to another easily with different clothing combinations. For example, this look can be transformed from bohemian to sports lux, if  you change the frayed layer for a brightly coloured T-shirt and changed the shoes for cross trainers.

Maxi dress or skirt:
Also great for a layered look. Play with different textures

Ankle boots:
These days there are unlimited styles to choose from, you can have your pic from sophisticated styles to punk or biker boots. Sometimes it adds dimension to the overall look when you clash styles, for example combine biker boots with a soft flowing chiffon dress.

Be free

I woke up early on this Saturday morning as my husband had to work. The autumn mist created a surrealistic wonderland in our garden. With my cup of coffee and wrapped in a blanket, I watched our dogs play while the sun climbed over the trees. They are so care free and unconditionally loving, I wish we humans could experience their freedom everyday.

So that's my goal for this week to live free, take a walk, run when I want to run, be playful and being friendly to everyone I meet. LIVE FREE from the worries of this world.  

This will be my creative outlet in everyday life, from entertainment, fashion, photography and travel. I wish to share my view of the world around me in a creative and inspiring way.
