A new day

We knew we wanted to get away for the holidays, we just didn’t have a plan. Growing up in an Indian family meant Christmas wasn’t on the top of our festival list. Christmas day in my household is celebrated by wrapping up dog presents and watching Jambu ( our Maltese/Bichon fris mix) open them to our amusement.
Half way through Christmas day Gurpreet and I decided to try our luck on a last minute break away, we found a deal for Florida packed our bags and flew out the next morning. Basking in 30 degrees we thoroughly enjoyed a week out. Having had plenty of time off from all media outlets, our 9-5 jobs and general commotion that goes on in December.
I’m looking forward to jumping into the deep end for 2016.
I am currently in the process of signing onto agencies for artist representation, this is something I’ve wanted to pursue for many years, but just haven’t. My first project has been creating branding for a Boutique Hair salon in the states! I’m looking forward to seeing my artwork on products. I definitely feel it’s about time!
Here’s an outfit you’ve all seen before (here) Chasing the sun was one of my many highlights for the new year’s. I hope you all had a wonderful break, let’s make 2016 one to remember : )

Uniform

So on most my social media outlets I have been rambling about Gurpreet and I finally moving into our very own home. In between weddings, work and gym we have squeezed in furnishing the flat bit by bit. It’s still looking a little bare but while we wait for the big furniture to arrive, Natalie (my Croatian counterpart) and I decided to have some fun with the blank canvas.
This has been my uniform lately, I know a lot of people frown on ‘lounge style joggers’ worn out in public, but heck! They are too comfy to pass up on, esp with all the running around we have been doing.
As you can see I prioritised my books and organised them all nicely, I still have stacks to unpack but I cannot wait to get going with it all and finally move in! I’ll show you more once were settled in a bit more.

Free to be me

At a time my heart desperately needed to be reminded everything happens for a reason I came across the amazingly gifted Rob Hill.
None of us will ever get it perfect, but that shouldn’t be the goal. We should be strong enough not to let temporary pain put constrictions on the way we express and develop our love. For me it isn’t love if it makes you feel anything short of free, free to express ourselves, free to communicate, free to dream and explore and create… and though we love by choice, we can’t make anyone chose to do right by us. Trying to control shows a lack of trust. Our job is to get people to feel love, even if it’s for a short time. And loved in a way that changes them forever. A way that makes them better… love endures, it’s just our understanding of what it really is that changes. – Rob Hill

Stone Shades

I started this blog roughly 5 months ago, it has definitely served its purpose as an outlet for my creativity, opened new doors for experiences, highlighted my husband’s hidden photography talent (he has taken all my images so far, no previous photography training, never been creative as such and has no interest in arts unless it involves some sort of technology/gadgets - round of applause for him please!) and allowed me to interact with other creative individuals.
I find working with people you can bounce positive energy off is a must. I love hearing about projects / idea’s / plans, it gives me a boost to achieve more and set higher goals.
I have a couple of targets I am working towards in the art department, if everything goes to plan you will definitely hear all about it and if not – you will be my pick me up so I can give it another go at the next given opportunity.

I whipped together this stone palette combo for the weekend. I know I mentioned not wearing white often (here) but since that statement I’m gravitating towards it more than ever! Reverse psychology is a funny thing eh? I am a true Gemini down to the T, one moment I’m accessorise free and keeping it simple then I flip it to wearing every item I own in one go. This necklace was bought on a whim, a tad pricey but can be worn with virtually every top in my wardrobe – I am trying to ‘get my monies worth’ so you will see it pop up frequently!
Also may I highlight this beautiful gemmed ring from Ottoman Hands, I know the colours don’t match, some stones are pearlised and others rough, but for me it just works; a stunning piece with a beautiful gold plated finish. I broke up the neutral colours with my statement zebra pattern coat and small black tote bag.
