Inspiration: Monika Mongol

 

 

 

2016 - the year of the bomber jacket!

I don't recall being particularly keen to own one in the 80's when they were all the rage but I've seen some really jazzy models on the web recently including this fabulous work of Czech fashion designer Monika Mogul.

I have to say that I'm pretty smitten with this young lady's creativity in general. 

You should know by now that I'm a Plumes & Feathers kinda girl; I adore a touch of excentricity from time to time - colours, extravagance, theatricality, c'est moi!  

Monika Mogul ticks all those boxes for me !

So, don't laugh if you ever see me and my bohemian fringes swishing and swaying  as I walk down the street - Fun begins at Fifty, so they say

2016 is definitely going to be my year too...

Little Loves: Loupin & Dors

Bonjour !

Today's post is an invitation to explore, to dig, delve and be inspired by the creative world of UK artist Louise Roskell. I am delighted to be a weekly contributor to the Australian blog The Junior Daily this year and enjoyed getting to know a bit more about this talented mum crafting "cardboard cutouts of life" for Loupin & Dors.

Let's have a closer look, shall we?

Thank You.

Bonne Année ! 

Inspiration: Ruke

Three is a magic number, I always say.

Take this trio - a photographer, a model and a natural knitwear designer - and watch what happens when you bring them together to shoot an AW15/16 lookbook.

Powerful, beautiful stuff!

Neringa Ruke, I love everything about your Lithuanian slow fashion brand for women and children. Thank you Springjuste for bringing it to my attention.

 Bonsoir !

I know, it's been a while. Life is complicated here right now.

 I'm sorry for being so quiet.

I don't know about you but I can't seem to get in the Christmas spirit this year.

I'd be quite happy to just jump in the car and drive off to a log cabin in the woods somewhere, far, faraway from everything. Mother Nature is the best healer for me.

With this in mind, I've put together some very special links leading you to gifted makers, new shops and creatives.
