FLOWERS AND ROMANCE - SORBET COLOURS IN THE WOODS

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine and man cannot live without love while

            romance is the glamour which turns into dust  of everyday life into golden haze. 

This shoot was done on Valentine’s Day but it was purely coincidence. I wanted to draw the line between flowers and romance, like drawing the line between love and hate, but I guess these two are completely different. That aside, flowers are given as romantic gestures, if you were to be given red roses to a loved one, it is projected as loving this person or just saying “I love You”. When you buy flowers for yourself I guess it just means you love having flowers in your home… I certainly do. I am obsessed with it’s beauty.

I would not say I was romantic, but I like the atmospheric of going out to dinner at a restaurant, when the lights are low and soft with beautifully played music in the background.

What is romance? Romance is showing that you care, but do you need a special occasion to show or do something romantic? There are intrinsic romance e.g. things that are inherently romantic like hearts. Red is romantic, it’s been associated with love and passion. Chocolates are not only romantic, they are complementary.

Back to flowers and romance. Flowers are gorgeous and if you look deeply into them, they are amazing and mesmerizing.  I love freshly cut flowers and I can just photograph them all the time, it is like looking into their soul. Flowers and Romance, they do go hand in hand as both intriguing and endangered: roses enfold and blossom, then dissipate. Romance unfolds blossom but you need to work to keep it alive.

I wore soft gentle tones for this shoot. Red on the Valentines, to me, is too cliche, but it’s very personal. I can’t wait to hear your Valentine stories and share ideas on outfits and romantic attires!

EASY STRIPES -SHARP COAT STRIPE DRESS

Today I met up with a friend S whom I had not seen for a long time, we met up for lunch and continued right where we left off from the last time we met. I am wearing a Breton dress that I know that she will like very much. 

 Where will we be without friendship? The definition of Friendship comes up as a relationship between two people who care about each other; but that definition of friendship does not comes close to justifying what true friendship truly means. 

To someone friendship means loyalty, honesty and unconditional love. To me when you know how to be a friend to yourself is when you are able to be a friend to someone else.

Friendship is not base on how long you have know someone or how much time you spend with them. There are many different types of friendship and if I was a guy I would definitely date S because she is my kind of woman.

The striped shirt was originally a naval sailor uniform designed to help distinguished the sailors from the waves so you could find them more easily when they fell overboard. 

Coco Chanel became inspired by the sailor’s clothing and used it in her nautical collection 1971.

The stripe has become a real fashion staple.

The Breton stripes are a definitely a closet essential, it is definitely one of my essential pieces in my wardrobe.

BROWN DRESS COAT WITH CASUAL PANTS

Brown is as classic as Black. Depending on its shade, it can certainly look like poop. So not a pooped brown, but a dark rich chocolate brown I can totally appreciate.  I have noticed that designers do not often use this colour, correct me if I am wrong. I think brown can look good with many different colours; such as brown with grey, white, cream and pink, dark red and orange, even a forest green. 

 Today I have paired my wool brown dinner jacket (part of a suit) which I bought from Joseph many moons ago, paired it with a simple relax dark olive slacks. Adding to that cotton dyed fabric, which I wear as a scarf and a hat to cover my not so tamed hair. Today I’m not fully made up just wearing my favourite red lipstick, and now off for a quick lunch. The leather shopper I had made for me while I was in Marrakech.
