Wanderlust

Each city that I am travelling to influences me in a way, and Seoul is no exception.





 

"If travel is like love, it is, in the end, mostly because it's a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end."

-PICO IYER-

 

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.” 

-ANAIS NIN-

 

 

“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” 

-ERNEST HEMINGWAY-

 

 

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” 

-MARK TWAIN-

                                                                                  

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                     

 

 

Family Treasures

I was so surprised when my mom showed up with this beautiful handmade blouse that she was wearing when she was my age.

 

 

Handmade things are filled with some kind of energy, there's something about them, a beauty that you can't create with a machine. When your hand and heart work together, you can't help but develop a new value system for things. Old fashioned values are back in style. You could detect it in the rich embroideries shown recently on the runways at Balmain and Dolce & Gabbana, and from the array of folkloric and artisanal references at Givenchy, Hermes and Louis Vuitton.

And because this blouse belonged to my mom, it's more magical in a way.

 

 

Same dress, different mood

Why do we wear what we wear? What do our clothes say about us? For sure financial reasons, weather, activities, all contribute, but the real motivation is more emotional and personal. It is about our personality and how we see ourselves in the world.

How I dress and present myself is so much to do with my mood. All clothes seek to show our inner vision out to the world. There are so many brands and so many are the same...So don't loose the art of choosing your own identity each day...

In defence of PINK

Pink is my favourite colour. It reminds me of hearts, and the heart represents love, which is how I feel when I see the colour.

 

I also love blue, but as I get older the more I love pink. Like all the ideas that become more layered with adulthood, pink deserve a second look. It can be sarcastic, flirtatious, vibrant, whimsical and yes, even sexy. It is, like most things, defined by what we make of it. For fans of the colour that's a win. Case closed.
