Wanderlust

These pictures are not my own. I like them because they are beautiful and they capture my love of travel and hopefully someday soon, I will take as magical pictures as these when I venture off to a far away place. I love the almost imaginary cool damp feel of these photos, I love the concrete walls, I love the dim lights. I dream of travelling to places such as these with The Beatles soundtrack playing in the background.

Los Intocables

The right to childhood should be protected
Often in media we forget that as creators and producers of media and things that people are going to take notice of, we forget that there is more to the field than just showing off clothes and aesthetic beauty which has no deeper meaning. Not to take away from fashion and photography and music everything it means and represents. We tend to forget there is more to be said, the darker things that our art forms allow us to capture, things that people turn a blind eye to. I was moved by these images when I saw them for the first time, they need no caption for us to understand the depth of their meaning and they further emphasize the power that is lies within a picture. Sometimes it's good to ask ourselves whether we are really getting anything out of what we see and do in a way that affects us at our core level? and whether we should we be doing more as artistic individuals to express ourselves for a greater purpose.

Accessories

Hi, All.
This post comes with a lot of excitement. My sister recently came back from a high school tour of Europe. Needless to say I was very happy to have her back especially because she came with such great goodies. They went to Italy, France and England and from my own experience I know that it is a life changing journey. Travel does that to you. Amongst some items of clothing which I will be wearing in some blog posts in the near future, she bought me some very chic accessories from H&M, Primark, Pimkie and Aldo. I cannot wait to make these part of my wardrobe, some of these items I've wanted for a very long time; the head chain and the bracelet connected to a ring. The bag(Mr. Price) and flower crown(A friend's thrift store) that you see I bought locally during my time at the Grahamstown Arts festival recently. How lovely is that chunky chain? Gotta love accessories.
