spring outfit inspiration | The Silk Sneaker

What I’ve learnt along the way though, is that this sphere can be an individual game if you choose it to be, but is also full of wonderful and like-minded people like you

When I started my blog around a year ago, I wasn’t sure where I wanted it to go, but one thing is sure, I wanted to make some sort of splash. Now, whether I’ve inspired you to try something new, or helped you think of your next outfit, or simply put a smile on your face, I feel I’ve achieved something – but more so than that, I want it to be a way for me to find my path, my path to making some sort of difference (stay tuned for that). What I’ve learnt along the way though, is that this sphere can be an individual game if you choose it to be, but is also full of wonderful and like-minded people like you, bigger or just starting out, who are waiting to collaborate and help you along your journey – Let’s empower one another. Enough of my rambles, here’s my current favourite uniform, and yes it’ shiny as hell – It really is a ‘Rise & Shine!’ kinda thing.

Style, Art, Champagne. Who could ask for more?

In a dark classroom, filled with wooden desks and dim laptop screens, I found myself slowly dozing off to slides of Monet. My Art History class was a compulsory module in order to take my Film Studies class at Columbia NYC that summer; but at the mere age of 16 I had a massive lack of appreciation for art; I regretfully admit that I was more interested in the gift store at the MoMa. Rest assured, much has changed over the last five years and through some sort of midnight epiphany, I found a love for art when I did a hop, skip and jump over to London. Imagine my glee when I got to attend the Lumas: Art Now launch last week. (Beyond belief in case you haven’t caught on)

I don’t think art is something you stare at blankly on a prescribed marking on the floor and attempt to reach some sort of internal enigma. Rather art is relatable, or rather it should be. At the risk of preaching a Theory of Knowledge syllabus at you (holla at my fellow IB’ers) art is a matter of perception; a personal matter. What makes it worth hanging up on your wall or gawking over at Frieze or ignoring completely, I don’t know, but all the same, it’s thought provoking. To even have this discussion, art should be accessible, which was the goal of the Lumas: Art Now launch – Limited editions print in small sizes available for your gifting/consuming pleasure.
