Tumblr Thursday: Write On The Sand




 


Leather, denim, inky black and blue.

The weather's been foul here the last couple of days, I guess that explains my new mood. A sudden urge to wrap up, bring out my old, distressed boots and imagine it's Autumn,
for one week, at least!

I like men's fashion, as some of you will have guessed, so Write On The Sand is perfect for me today. Dark, masculine and poetical, this tumblr has a strong industrial vibe that   many of you will love!I'm not the only rags and rust gal out there, am I ?

Are you following any inspiring men's fashion blogs, I wonder? 
Iron Charlie, on etsy, has some interesting men's clothes and accessories for sale.

Thanks for the inspiration:

Instagram Inspiration: Irodorco




 







Snippets, honestly, I don't need anything more.
One look at this beautiful instagram feed and I'm inspired.
Clean, minimal, pared down - the way I like it.

The visual poetry of Irodoco's everyday life.
Soothing simplicity,
No, I don't need anything more than that,

Shop Watch: Shop Tent


 




  


I've spent the last half hour drooling over the newly launched Shop Tent website.
I don't often do that, I mean, we're living the simple life - 
 we have everything we need, right?
Wrong. Well, kind of.

I'm pretty sure I can find room for one of Belle & Vidère's long-fringed, organic cotton lampshades and perhaps squeeze in a couple of Vanja Bazdulj's ceramic mugs. Mineheart's white book wallpaper would go perfectly in our new, minimal multimedia room, and, and, and I am in completely and utterly smitten with all those Persian Cowhide rugs!

It's only just gone live,
and they'll be adding new products all the time...

Bookmarks at the ready please!
 





Moss Monday



Good Morning!

After glorious sunshine all weekend, and my first few lengths in the pool,
it's raining here today. I don't mind though, I'm in a green mood since we came back from England. I'm missing the moss, bracken and heather on the moors already, hence my colour my monday collage above.

As always, links and image sources can be found on my tumblr Plumes & Feathers 
("merci" for following me there by the way!).
Enjoy!

Thanks for the inspiration:

Just Three




Just Three
Just in case you're wondering where an earth I am.
I've been to the UK to visit family and friends.
It's always so good to go back to Ilkley and West Yorkshire. 
My roots, my home town, my mother tongue.
I feel better now!

As Sweet As Candy




 


 


 

Bonjour !

As many of my instagram and facebook followers will already know, we're on holiday here for another week. The weather has been glorious, so we're all enjoying life outdoors, cycling, walking and gardening. In two days time we'll be flying to the UK for a long weekend. I can't wait, it seems so long since I went home. I miss Ilkley Moors!

Until then, here are few favourite sweet finds discovered on my recent travels on the web.

I do hope they inspire you to explore a little more.

Bonne journée !

Thanks for the inspiration:

Shop Watch: Miep Und Meise









It's been a while since I came across a really lovely vintage shop for kids.
Sveni's choice of simple, timeless finds is everything I love.
She's also an aspiring kids' fashion designer and sells a few of her handmade garments in her little treasure trove of an etsy shop


 A nice address to bookmark, I say!
