Anywho the post is finally here...was having a mental debate on the way home today as to whether I should keep it just to creativity or include snap shot paragraphs of what's going on in la vida. Verdict...well not sure but will see how it goes. Oh and my excuse for procrastinating..my book!! Ah gosh it has just become so gripping ('Sundowners' by Lesley Lokko).
I love the last book I read by her: 'Bitter Chocolate'. What really draws me in with her writing is that she is able to combine all the elements of girlyness on a background of political international strife! Ah wow! Then the combination of fashion and driven women blazing the pages! Hallur! Hehe! Amazing...if you're not one for reading about history and politics..read one of these books...you'll be hooked on the historical references! Amazingness! :)
K, but back to the original inspiration for this blog...fashion, creativity and everything in between with the focus primarily in Kenya...although will probably throw in quite a bit about Bristol - my second home :(...nostalgia's been hitting hard over the past few weeks! But ah the quirkiness and creativity of this small city is amazing and stimulating and quite possibly bliss...walking down Woodland road, lined with Arts and Social Science Departments; I was instantly inspired! Needless to say post lectures, I spent my time window shopping found little treasures dotted on narrow off-streets, ventured into cute cozy boutiques and obviously not forgetting the typical high street shops. But it was the boutique niche shops and the arts student-trailed Woodland road that just got to me...sense of bliss!
Bringing it back home I've dedicated a day; Saturday. Saturdays have now become my dedicated days to bring such exploration back home, as it's my only true free day! And I'm discovering! So much to see...and I know there is so much more to digest!! Cannot wait to get my head around the hotspots and conquer creativity!!
...more to follow.... :)
