Ovo Drenth By Fritz Kok

Meet my good friend, Nigerian model, Ovo Drenth. I adore the dress she's wearing in this photo-shoot. The colours are bursting with vibrance and vitality against her luscious skin.

Sun Flower On The Brows Of Morning

This cheerful sunflower is my muse and inspiration today. I am watching the languid sun from my balcony while the day drums along like marching carnival bands. Happy Saturday - Take a break from the rush of life and allow nature to embrace you!

The Tall Dancer

For the dancers amongst you. I purchased this piece at an auction in April. I adore shoes and fashion as many of you know, but I am in love with dancing and art. This tall dancer made of exotic wood is the underneath of the understory of gracefulness and the aesthetics. I do hope everyone is happy and bouncing;-)

Images: Meet fellow island girl Kezia Frederick. A graduate of Central St Martins, fashion and textile designer. Am adoring the bold textiles and the way she flirts with different patterns. I feel transported back to the West Indies. The first image is my favourite. I know the second is a bit mad, but therein lies its uniqueness;-)

Art: The Shoe Sculpture

This fabulous sculpture was created by the French painter Alexandrine Van Duijn. Her philosophy is 'Art is to express life and trigger emotions' - One cannot disagree with Alexandrine on the above. I thought my blog friends might enjoy a spot of art and fashion today. I would have loved to see her designing this shoe sculpture!
