Against the flow

Well, I think I've written before that I shouldn't really wear black in the summer coz it's just cray-cray. You know what? I just did! I AM SO SMRT...I mean, SMART!

Wilfred top from Aritzia, H&M pants, Vans sneakers


I had to wear sneakers as hubby and I did a lot of walking the day these were taken. It was such a beautiful day that everyone was outside enjoying it...


Are you guys prone to not wearing black in the summer, or do you just go "to hell with it even if it means I'm gonna sweat"?

I wear some black but it is deathly hot here. You pretty much have a death wish if you wear all black. But in the wintertime, it's a whole different story. Looks like wonderful weather there. Hope you're getting some time outside with the kiddos

I wear plenty of black in summer, purely cos it's not all that warm for the most part! Love the Vans :) x

I wear black in the summer all the time also- it's so hot but it's my go-to color so I can't seem to stop! At least you look amazing, right? And those blue shoes are the cutest!

Some analogue love #2

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)

I know a lot of people don't like wearing leggings as pants. I'm not one of those people. (I do have a rule that the top has to be long enough to cover your butt. Otherwise, I don't know what you're trying to advertise....you know what I'm saying?) old sweater from Hot Topic and leggings from Aritzia, Vans slip ons Are you a leggings fan?

Inspiration: #Loish

 I've been a huge fan of Lois Van Baarle, or simply known as Loish , for awhile now. She's an amazing Dutch digital artist who has worked for Lego, Guerrilla Games and Coca-Cola.I just started supporting her on Patreon  , where she shares a lot of tutorials and more art work:) Her work has been such an inspiration...something about her art work just speaks to me, probably because she was influenced a lot growing up by The Little Mermaid, and that is one of my all-time favourite Disney films! I constantly turn to her two books, The Art of Loish and The Sketchbook of Loish. She also has a third one coming out soon:) Here are samples of her works (from her website ):  Even though I'm a traditional artist  and Loish's work is digital, I tend to do do a lot of studies of her works, mainly in my art journal:) I did this with watercolour, colour pencils and aquapastels from the Jane Davenport line. same as above:) I've decided to dabble with digital art, using an old draw
