- What I'd expected to be tedious hours of art research proved to be a rather entertaining and speedy scavenger hunt for inspiration, which I found in this these sculptures by Emil Alzamora and these paintings/illustrations by Adara Sánchez.
- Among the many people I follow on Instagram, Carly Zinga is a fashion photographer who consistently makes my feed considerably more beautiful. Follow her Instagram page and view her blog. Her photos are simply stunning (Eg. the cover photo above!)
- In the spirit of blogger love, I'd like to send you over to check out What I Wore and eat.sleep.wear! To be entirely honest, I highly doubt I would've discovered the wonderful world of blogging, let alone become a part of it, had I not come across these two lovely sites. Love, love, love!
- If there's one local contest (of sorts) that I faithfully follow, it's most definitely the ELLE Rising Star Design Award in association with Mr Price. Their mission is to find the best rising fashion designer in South Africa, and as far as this year's search goes, the judges have selected 8 insanely talented finalists. Check them out here!
- I stumbled upon this really retro Classic Horror Book Series by Nikola Klímová. The layout is minimal, which is right up my alley, and the illustrations are great!
- While procrastinating with the help of the ever faithful Twitter, I found a short documentary series by The Sartorialist (Scott Schuman). He, being the creative genius that he is, came up with the idea to show us a side of behind-the-scenes Fashion Week we virtually never get to see; the Pit Photographers... Take a look at Part I and II.
- Moving right along on the documentary train, I happened to encounter yet another short, fashion documentary that's worth a look (totally by chance, I swear!) It's appropriately titled 'Take My Picture', as it explores the phenomenon that street style photography and fashion blogging has become.
Alright, so this is my awful apology for the delay of a 'Lovely Links' post, which was scheduled for the 20th of July. Along with returning to school and being piled with work, I received an incredibly strong dosage of writer's block.
*breathes in*
Now that I've listed those poor excuses, here is the actual reason for the delay: I hadn't found any links that I felt were worth sharing, and having grown up with a quality > quantity mindset, my heart wouldn't allow me to type out rubbish I found through Google. Sorry.
*breathes out*
Now that we're done with formalities, I hope you have a month of greatness ahead of you, and that you're currently enjoying a relaxing weekend on behalf of those of us who aren't!
xo,
