The Last Few Days

There is a great pleasure that overcomes us as we spend our summer days by

the sea. It is from the soothing swiftness of the waves, the refreshing saltwater touching our bare skin and the breeze dancing though our face that secures us in humble serenity.

As summer slowly departs to the part of the brain where our hazy memories lie, we must enjoy our last few days of them before they're long gone. Go. Go to the seaside & enjoy your last summer days relaxing at the golden hour, where the clashing waves & romantic sunset meets.

                             

I recently had a moment of tranquility, dressing seaside ready & prepping light indulgences. To spend an entire day, choose light snacks over full meals that cause symptoms of uneasiness to errupt. By my natural tendencies of being a foodie, I made my crunchy kale chips with toasted almonds, nutella wontons and a refreshing hibiscus drink. Pleasantly fulfilling but not overindulgent. Always remember to bring enough skin protection such as coverups, wide brim hats & sunscreen. I was given versitality by using my white tulip back lace crop top as my cover up & focal point of my outfit. Being a lover of 50s fashion, I always think wearing the high waisted two piece bathing suit is a must when relaxing. These are the last few days that I spend creating summer memories. Ces derniers jours.

A Safari Adventure | Elephant Reverie

Can you believe this is real. real. Oh nature, what a beauty.

“But I love your feet 

only because they walked 

upon the earth and upon 

the wind and upon the waters, 

until they found me.” 

-Pablo Neruda

Not so long ago, I embarked on an adventure where I felt connected to mother nature. What I gathered was that deep inside a human’s soul is an uninhibited pleasure that we take in exploring something new. Places - to be exact. We often reverie unconsciously the moments of life when our once oblivious aspirations are a reality. The result in which the state of happiness no longer seems insusceptible. On this travel, I was able to perceive nature through a safari adventure that filled me with happiness.

Elephants. 🐘 It may be that through my observations I felt a phenomenon connecting with elephants, species other than humans. For you see, although these ivory tusked mammals may not seem docile in the wild, there is a serene nature when observing elephants. In a near post, I will be discussing more about these beautiful mammals and why I choose to value them. In this post, I wanted to discuss my gratitude for elephants and why I rêverie of them. Elephants are a very symbolic animal. They represent, in dreams, to overcome the challenges occurring in your life, to take action, or gives a sense of stability, influence, power, wisdom, loyalty and perseverance. The gray color of the elephant body represents clouds and rainfall, usually dealing with the element Earth in yoga 💦🐘☁️. I could nevertheless be thankful of my peaceful experience connecting with an Earth element: the éléphant. Never be afraid to awaken and unleash your free inner spirit in enlightening your daydreams, for they are the great pleasures in life.

Although I wish I wore this outfit while photographing, exploring and observing the wild and nature, I put this outfit together as an inspiration. If I can’t go back to these humbling views, why not incorporate elements that remind me of my experience in my outfits. Inspired the stereotypical adventurer and wanderer attire, I suggest to keep it refreshing and stick to earth toned colors. Wearing an all white outfit consisting of a sheer, delicate white top and comfy lace shorts I layered it with an olive green cargo jacket. Taking a fashion spin, I completed my outfit with my go-to B.P. Trolley cameo-colored boots. What more way can I scream free spirited and hippie ambience than a colorful, vibrant headscarf & round sunglasses! For jewelry, wear many bracelets and rings that have an earthy factor in them, like my turquoise ring reminiscent of a turquoise gem.
