I've decided to keep track of things I found amazing or entertaining during the past week. If you're interested in what makes me smile...or go on a rant, please keep reading.
First up...
F A S H I O N
This. Purse.
Chanel classic flap bag
Help. Literally, Help. Now you know that I am not into having a lot of things. Maybe you don't know that. But please know that at the time of this post, I own three pairs of ill-fitting jeans, exactly 3 pairs of shoes, (not including my two pairs of flip-flops, and two shirts that are presentable enough to wear out of the house. I've not yet been in a position to own much, nor do I feel like I need clothing pieces for status, or to feel good about myself.
I love beautiful, well-made things; I love fashion and I love style, and this piece is eponymous as being all three.
I just look at it and almost start to cry, my heart is so happy.
I'm quite particular. It must be lambskin, but hardware is negotiable. I thought I'd prefer gunmetal hardware...but the gold gets me every time.
M U S I C
I'm still enjoying James Bay's "Let It Go"...and Bryan and Katie Towalt's new "Champion" is very nice.
F O O D
Chia seeds. I'm enjoying chia seeds, or rather chia pudding. I mix chia seeds with coconut milk or water, I add stevia or honey, a pinch of salt, some organic steel cut oats, if I need carbs, and serve with (a healthy dollop) of almond butter. (...and sometimes chocolate chips.)
Tip: Not to jump and land too heavily on the Mason Jar bandwagon, but it's nice to make chia pudding in said jars.
[Steps politely off]
B L O G
I've newly discovered the lovely couple that is Lydia Elise Millen and Ali (Alistair) Gordon. They have beautiful blogs and images, their YouTube videos are stunningly edited...brilliant use of music, and they stay in their lane, meaning they work very hard and do all their own shooting and editing, are self-taught, and self-starting. I find their story quite inspirational.
Ali was a model, Lydia a fashion blogger who began to do well on Instagram, and now they are a power couple, being approached for projects by major brands like L'Oreal.
Well done, guys. Well done.
Well that's all for the Saturday edit. There were lots of things going down in politics and pop culture this week, but hopefully this provided you all with a few moments of breathing space.
Cheers and peace!
