concrete wave

the adventures of discovering concrete wonderlands (i.e. empty pools) through the eyes of a very talented D.Montoya.

the love element

"The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time." Jack London, 1956

and we could swing from chandeliers

draping treasure chests- one of my most favorite objects in life...the chandelier. I love their glamorous yet dishevelled beauty that they hold. A very inspiring object that leave me in a dream state.. i dream of swinging from one.

we wanna be free to do what we wanna do

LOVE

all this talk of getting old is bringing me down my love

summer lovin' had me a blast

This post is dedicated to my dear friend shu shu, to whom i promised an inspiration wall to generate ideas for her to create an outfit to wear to this weekend's "Meredith Music Festival". Although completely green with jealousy that it is HER that will be venturing out in what is predicted to be a complete mud fest and that SHE will be doing a rain dance and splashing in puddles, I cant help but get excited about the outfit planning too!

With summer festival (& festive season in general) upon us, I'm very excited by the idea of creating a world of things that inspire me at this time of the year and sharing them...well posting them in this little world of mine anyway...

The calender is filling up with some brilliant and wonderful festivals, parties and gigs... not to mention hot summer days lazing around at the beach or cruising from oppie to oppie on the skateboard or taking road trips down south with nothing but togs and a camera..

I heart summer.

I love this picture and envy it at the same time..
