Amsterdam.

I am ever so slowly getting through all the pictures from my travels with my sister.

A bit of the weird stuff that Amsterdam is made from;

people watching in the 9 Streets District

(check out Amsterdam Episode & Books by Artists 'Boekie Woekie')

crazy colourful Watermelon juice smoothies from a hippy-eco cafe next to Waterlooplein Flea Markets,

apple pancakes & pizza pancake breaky,

&

to top it off

a guy whom jumped off his motorbike, fully clad in leather

& stood silently, gazing out to the canal for a good while with his crazy long black hair blowing in the wind.

(And be sure to check out Episode Vintage)

Carmen's.

 Fell in love with Carmen's.

Rows of shoes,

racks of kimonos,

model sail boats,

shoes sitting on old tins,

old school men's wear,

vintage Chanel and this that and the other.

It was a yummy, never ending visual feast.

Carmen's Copenhagen.

RACKS AND RACKS of the best picked second hand clothing, plus their own line of recycled revamped clothes)

Double knits.

The irony that is Dutch weather. Beautiful sunny, warm, summer scented days that prompt me to broadcast the coming arrival of the season of sun, and then what does it do? Rain. And what does it do after that? Rain.

So what do I do?

Double knit it of course. 

Wearing: H&M metallic knit (under), Sparkle and Fade knit (looove this label!) (over), Cheap Monday jeans, Christiana ring.

Internal wanderings of the summer mind.

Raining outside, 

and dreaming of the sun, sand & surf.

My day dreaming is finally starting to move from 

the internal wanderings of my mind into a reality

-

summer Europe wanderings have begun to materialise!

Bookings for Italy, Spain, Prague, Croatia, Greek Islands are all underway.

Ahhhhhh...

                             

Chili Peppers on my screen

I think the last image says it all -  

throw your head back, let it bask in the sun, let the wind rush through you, let you be taken to another far away land.

I'm itching for summer and random adventures and roadtrips and sun and dusk and that warmth that soaks right through you.

R.H.C.P's Scar Tissue, you always take me there.

Notes of Summer

It feels like it has been the longest wait,

but finally,

spring has truly begin to arrive! 

The moment when spring begins to turn into summer - you can smell the notes of summer linger in the air, its arrival just hiding around the corner, bare feet in the green grass.

Wearing: vintage double-breasted floral top from Free'P'Star Paris, Topshop jeans, Topshop metallic cardy.
