I’m motivated this month.  Not the usual, mentally checking things off a list, chastising myself for not achieving more, and reaching a daily deadline motivated.  A real I’m going to accomplish something big motivated.   Surviving on four hours sleep and zero minutes of free time is not second nature to me, but it’s been three days and I’m powering through.  Little time has been left for meals, relaxing evenings or weekends away, but it’s just 30 days or so right? So here we go.  If you see me this month, I’m probably the dishevelled mess running around town.

This colour has been following me all summer.  I have never really considered the shade, but it seems to work perfectly on a dress and against sun kissed skin.

only in her world

Blinding sunlight announces itself through her towering, foggy windows. She wakes in a plush white bed and nuzzles her boy in a half dream state. Her weary feet tip toe across the icy concrete floors discreetly maneuvering through leaning towers out dated magazines and precariously organized clusters of clothing. The kitchen is rustic, basic and only utilized to create inviting aromas from the centre of the vast and modestly furnished room. A single Moroccan rug sits beside the counter and brightly coloured Chinese silk cushions replace the space a sofa would belong. Within minutes the bare, but cozy studio is enveloped with a familiar scent of fresh coffee and slightly burnt toast. She wraps a vintage silk kimono bearing delicately painted red roses around her chilled sun kissed skin in between yawns and wishes to return to a deep slumber. He opens one eye lazily and smirks as she tucks back into the dangerously addictive bed. They share a single mug of steaming black coffee while dipping crumbling pieces of toast into the bitter remnants. The day starts far past noon, when she dresses in her sheer wispy floral dress. She untwists her hair from the messily clipped bun atop her head to reveal a cascade of golden waves. A cashmere cardigan with sleeves several inches too long is stolen from the boy’s neat drawers before she returns to her haphazardly organized mess and locates a perfectly worn in leather jacket. She slips on her most coveted butterscotch nude ankle boots before stumbling out the door ten minutes late.

the last hour

Topshop hat and Asos boots.  Dress coming soon to Christing C.

The boy and I had a solitary hour free before heading to Pisa Airport.  We sprinted to the town centre only to discover the leaning tower is nowhere near their very convenient train station.  Luckily we were content to drown our minor dissapointment in a final pizza and pasta before departing Italy, and utilising the wifi in a classically pretty European square.  Our personalities always lean towards last minute travel plans and spur of the moment bookings.  It’s the only way we come across unexpected surprises and spontaneous excursions.  Not everything goes smoothly and we almost always encounter obstacles but it’s all part of the experience.

summer with fashion hedonism: positano and capri

Dresses are coming soon to Christing C.

Winding through the cliff adjacent road towards our destination was both a frightening and captivating experience.  The boy and I descended upon a picture perfect postcard where bright quaint buildings balance on cliffs encased in bright blues skies.  We only had a few days, but spent every moment soaking up warm inviting sunshine, dipping into ice cool crystal clear water, consuming fresh octopus salad and sparkling carafes of prosecco, taking time to explore winding stairwells that led to slices of heaven, capturing the sunset from our quiet balcony, and a few hours traipsing around the beauty that is Capri.  Our favourite new beach destination by far.  Already carefully mapping our return to the Amalfi Coast.

Feeling nostalgic and restless after a short trip to my old home.  I think the heady mix of a romantic wedding and catching up to speed with all the life altering changes in each friend’s life makes me realize how much can shift in a blinking second.  My constant need to take on far too much at once, as well as an omnipresent desire for extreme laziness usually collides into a fear of missing something.  Whether it’s rest or work, travel or play, I find myself inexplicably craving more.  London has the ability to kick start my creative instincts and push my need for time alone.  I love nothing more than browsing the streets with cool air brushing across my face.  Staring at everything and nothing.  Daydreaming about what will come next.  The lingering feeling of dissatisfaction pushes head first into my idle ways, forcing me to plan more and and experience more each day.

summer with fashion hedonism: tuscan dreams

written by ChristingC
Dress by Alice Temperley.
June is here and it seems this year is a lucky one for my friends and family.  Lets say many of our close ones have been tying the knot in 2013 and the boy and I are definitely partial to celebrating with them all.  This past week we traipsed around beautiful Italy and ended the journey with a magical wedding set amidst a dreamy Tuscan castle.  Think mazes created of tall hedges, generous displays of rose petal strewn walk ways, winding historic stairwells leading to daydream worthy chambers, rustic terraces bathed in Tuscan sun, and a romantic dining room serving up delicious Italian fare.   The boy and I were completely enchanted by the blissful setting and made vows to return for a week long getaway upon our next trip.  

So many more Italy photo diaries to share this week so stay tuned!!

Full Circle

H&M top, Stolen Girlfriends Club full circle skirt from Christing C.

 This constant torrential rain is killing me, but I guess it’s a great reason to wear something that is so waterproof it actually looks great with rain drops glistening on the surface.  My moods are swaying towards long hours in bed with green tea over parties and champagne at the moment.  I’ve taken a few leaps to sample new endeavours lately and the results have been more than rewarding.  Stepping out of my comfort zone is always daunting and easily avoided.  I find reasons to skip the next step which makes something become reality.  This time I’m glad I jumped in.  I hope you guys will love the outcome as much as I do.
