The moment I spotted the smiling woman, dressed in her camouflage jacket and edgy thigh-high stockings in front of this mural, I knew this was more than just a shot; it was a snapshot of urban life at its best. The overlapping monstera leaves and flowers painted in deep greens, lavender, and pink matched her confident aura perfectly. I wanted to capture that sense of style and vibrancy, emphasizing the lively interplay of art and fashion. The paint drips and geometric accents in the mural added a dynamic backdrop that spoke to the energy of the city. It was all about merging her bold fashion with the expressive vibes of street art. This was a great find from my archives for Debbie’s One Word Sunday: Outfit

As it is International Women’s Day today, I can’t help but think that pink is the unofficial queen of colors when it comes to women! You know, I’ve always had a soft spot for it—there’s just something about that vibrant hue that shouts “I’m fabulous!” It sneaks into my wardrobe in the form of scarves that flutter like a dramatic cape, lipstick that screams “kiss me,” stylish shoes that could probably double as a weapon, and handbags that could house a small village. But let’s be real, while we swoon over these fabulous accessories, there’s nothing wrong with being a tad frivolous. After all, life’s too short not to wear sequins and glitter, right? Wearing pink isn’t just about the color; it’s my cheeky way of saying, “Look at me, I’m here to slay and celebrate womanhood!” So let’s rock those accessories and express our inner divas with a wink and a smile!
The more important things behind International Women’s Day (March 8) is a time for us to celebrate how far we’ve come in promoting women’s economic, political, and social equality. It’s a day to honor the amazing achievements of women everywhere and to shed light on those persistent issues we still face, like the pay gap and violence against women. More than anything, it’s a reminder that the fight for equality is far from over. In today’s world, where challenges still loom large, we must keep pushing for change and stand together in solidarity.

I totally love wearing linen clothes – they’re pretty much my go-to in summer and autumn. The soft feel and natural fibers are super comfy on my skin, plus they give off this elegant, classic vibe. I just dig how linen drapes nicely without feeling too tight, so I’m always grabbing my linen dresses when I’m heading out.
I don’t often crop my photos to square, but since I did one, why not try few more just for the fun of it. It does sometimes bring different things to the main focus.
For some reason I have lots of window shots newly edited, due to having gone through the archives lately looking for forgotten gems . This looked good as a square.
I was going through my old photos, I was searching for something totally different, but I found these of a man wearing a mask. I wonder f he still uses it? It certainly is something different
