For the wild eyes and dreamy hearts.

I LOVE WEEKENDS. The very fact that I know I can wander around and not care what time I'm gonna be back home and just aimlessly walk around with my music, it actually fills me up with joy, to a point where I feel like my chest is going to tear open and I'm going to fill it up with warm sunlight. No, well not really, that was an exaggeration. Or was it ?

Anyway, point being, I had a rather eventful and fun weekend. My bellypops (Bella- we live together) decided to be just as random and strange as me this weekend and we came up with a bunch of retarded pictures and her AMAZING make-up had a huge role to play in making the pictures look as fun and crazy as they were. The alter-ego of bowie (ziggy stardust) was SUCH  a huge inspiration for the looks ! Nothing beats a weekend with retro music, lots of wine, and cheesy movies. Also, I did manage to get some work done (Shockingly).

But it was the weekend ! So, I put a flower in my braid and walked around an area I never even knew of, had coffee at a tiny little coffee shop (even though I hate coffee, but I had it so I could say it), and a muffin (yaay!) and also, got lost in that area, and since I was adamant on not carrying a phone, I just kept walking around. No google maps (Thankfully). I love getting lost and wandering around random places, so much to see, so much to learn from. Looking at it from wild eyes and a dreamy heart, I will go in every direction the wind blows me in, and I will find a way. How irritating that people reply on electronics to do everything, i-pods are understandable, but only for the music being portable. With a world full of flowers, love, joy and sprinkling of magic, why does everyone still depend on the electronics? I'm actually sick of my blackberry. It keeps me way to connected to way too many people. Not that I dont love people. I do. Only Sometimes.

Back to the topic, below are pictures from the weekend. The glitter-filled, dreamy, random, flowy and productive weekend.

So, its been a long post. Hopefully entertaining. But, just to let anyone who stumbled upon this, all the picture are mine (taken by me or include my work) so if anyone uses the above, please be nice enough to ask for permission. I will be very cross if you do otherwise and use them regardless. xxxxx

  5. Thank you Mom and Shezi :D Really appreciate it ! xx
    And @ Lit cum fashion- I HATE it when I have a writers block, so I feel your pain, anyway, I would suggest watching an inspiring/ favorite movie ? (My first suggestion would be to go sit in the park with your laptop/pen and pad, but since the weather is nasty in London, a total no-no)...OR, a long walk at night, with your i-pod, it ALWAYS helps me clear my head and fresh air definitely means fresh ideas. Hope it works for you too ! And thank you so much :) !!!!
