cult gaia

sexiness, romance, and rebellion all wrapped into one.

CULT GAIA's manifesto

for the urbanite needing a break from city life. for nights of debauchery. for romance and rebellion. for fairytales and fables. for bad hair days. for nostalgia, for fun, for friends, for festivals, for birthdays, for dancing. for whimsy and silly. for expression, for escape, and play. for sleep, for sex, for gowns, for sundresses, for boxers, for briefs, for goddesses, for your inner child. for beauty, grace, glory, good times and souls alike.  CULT GAIA.

i couldn't say it any damn better - go get one. 

draping

DIANA ORVING is a swedish based fashion brand that has a distinctive design characterized by layers, volume and draped fabrics. she is clearly inspired by art, dance and movement.

sometimes she takes on textile draping installation that I find so stunning. 

there's quite an art to hanging fabric so gracefully - she has definitely mastered it.

1984

i wish i could just slip into this number today, go enjoy an outdoor concert, and maybe even sip on an ice cold beer {with bobby & bowie, of course} and whoever else wants to come. meet us at 5pm, when the sun starts to shift.

found this on 'look at these gems' from her awesome fantasy outfits column. i just love your taste girl. 

cacti & succulents forever

one of the numerous things i love about having bowie is that she keeps me off the computer and in the present moment. i get to take lots of walks and appreciate nature, as one should, often. today in particular i was reminded (again) how much i just love cacti and succulents which led me to hunt down some unique shots of their beauty. let me count the ways i adore these creatures, two things being: their architecture and their color.

it's quite undeniable.

BUTCHERS DAUGHTER: juice bar & cafe | new york

i'm so in love with this shop ... from the name, to the concept, to the materials used, the simplicity, the bright white with pops of color and wood, the greenery & fruit plants, the logo, the lighting - yada yada, you get my point.

just follow my lead below.

knapsackin'

ever since i became a mama i've quickly realized how much s t u f f you have to lug around, all the time - including the baby!your hands, arms, and shoulders are constantly occupied and i thought to myself today how handy a backpack could be for all my personal belongings. i think i found a good contender, isn't it pretty?!

Big canvas pop-up bag with leather handles / butterscotch & nude
This bag is made of sturdy good quality canvas.
The canvas is water resistant so it will keep your belongings dry.
The leather is undyed raw leather which means that the leather 
will darken when exposed to sunlight, air, and use. 
This is an on-going process which eventually gives the leather an aged look.

handmade with love

mamas babies and flowers

as my personal time narrows my priorites become more refined. thank you bowie, all i need is you (and papa).
