Back to the Gypsy That I Was

 

 

Dress: Enchantress / Tree of Life

You see your gypsy
To the gypsy that remains faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love

This year has been one of my best yet, I feel I have been on a journey to become 'myself' again and of course it is only just the beginning. 

After so many years of being a workaholic, no fun and no play which resulted in burn out and depression among other things,  this year I made a conscious effort at taking my pleasure seriously. I  had put so many things on the sideline for so long thinking that I could do all those things for myself 'later'.  I didn't stop to smell the roses. I thought my life was meant to be monotonous and that's just how it was. What a lie I told myself! All work and no play meant that I slowly got more and more unwell, losing myself in the process. I became isolated from others and shut myself away from the world telling myself that was just how I was. If you could take anything away from my post today, start putting aside time for yourself and learn to see the little things that can bring you pleasure. Give yourself permission! xx

I don't mind a bit of pattern clashing and today with florals was no exception. Such a beautiful and warm day but no matter how hot it is I still like wearing boots. I am super excited about my new Docs that I am wearing in!

Do you Want to Go on an Adventure?

Thanks to this handy little chart I recently came across on a cute little blog, I no longer have any excuses for not having adventures! And neither will you!

Lisa Bonet - Style Muse

 

 

 

 

It was a the 90s and damn could this girl rock a nose ring like no other

So this is my first post with photos that are not taken by me! Well I have been super inspired lately, reading alot about different subjects and interesting people so I hope to share some of my finds with you.

Being a lover of vintage I am also a fan of the undone, hippy, grunge look and Lisa pulled it off perfectly. And still does! She is one hot momma with Lenny Kravitz being a match made in heaven back in the day with their daughter Zoe inheriting amazing genes.

Vintage Patchwork in a Sea Of Lavender

Leather Belt - Vintage

Cowboy Boots - Vintage ( Similar Here )

I couldn't resist stopping to take photos when I saw a blanket of purple raining down from the Jacaranda trees. The blossoms were dropping as I took photos and there was a loud buzz from all of the bees collecting nectar.

Loving my vintage as always and was excited to be able to dress up 70s for one of my besties birthday celebration over the weekend. We went all out with dressing 70s with an emphasis on hippy style at the Verrierdale Full Moon Dance. We had so much fun with dressing up I wondered if we should have a theme every time!
