FASHIONFriday ~Summer please don't go!~

unknown source, found on Pinterest

As the days get shorter and more than half of the summer months are over... slightly creeps in that feeling of loosing something...going back to grey, cool, more serious days at work and school and college. =(

But HEY, it's NOT OVER YET! =P

So let's get out those shorts, sunglasses, tanks, tube-tops, shell bracelets and messy beach hair again and keep wearing it all as long as we can until we get chilblained! ...
Keep up the Aloha-Feeling!

When it comes to creative inspirations, how could you not look over to Looks?
^^
Because of this year's epic duration of wintery climate here in Europe, (~yeah, THANKS "Global Warming"!~) some folks here wouldn't get too comfortable with getting out in spring fashion or anything lighter than a coat, boots and woolen tights.
But finally (!!!=D) since mid-April we are beginning to be slowly released from frost and grey skies.
(at least for some days;))

It's time now to dare wearing lighter garments and let the air sneak through open jackets, shorter sleaves and...
how about getting out that pair of torn jeans again? ^^...

Here are some of my favorite ripped jeans stylings.

Tiki Mugs galore!

    It might be more obvious than I like it to be, that I got my name from something, not from birth. I'm just totally into Tiki-style and Polynesian Pop Lifestyle and used to run around with a self-printed shirt with some Tikis on it in college. So they started calling me that way, which admittedly I grew very fond and proud of.

   If you wonder what that "Tiki" actually means, here's a Wiki quote:

Tiki refers to large wood and stone carvings of humanoid forms in Central Eastern Polynesian cultures of the Pacific Ocean. The term is also used in Māori mythology where Tiki is the first man, created by either Tūmatauenga or Tāne. He found the first woman, Marikoriko, in a pond – she seduced him and he became the father of Hine-kau-ataata. In the Māori language, the word "tiki" was the name given to large wooden carvings in roughly human shape, although this is a somewhat archaic usage. The carvings often serve to mark the boundaries of sacred or significant sites.....

   For quite a while I'm trying to sketch my own Tiki for a logo or some other personalized use.  But I still can't decide which style to pick. - I LOVE THEM ALL! ;)

   Nevertheless I just found another site, where they show a huge collection of tiki mugs. They come in all shapes and sizes! I wish I had money to purchase some... But maybe it would even be cooler to sculpture my own version... hm,... that's a thought worth working out further...

But for now, here are some favourites from Surfcitytiki (presented on Ooga-Mooga)

The first thing people say, when entering my home for the first time is always: "Uhm,..I see... you certainly like GREEN, don't you!..."
And I thiiiink I know why they figure that out so fast... ;p
Nothing sweeter and more cheering than grrrrrreat shades of greens with some turquoise and blue companions!
These above Pics resemble the palette I mostly use in my home as well as my crafts.
I can't help it - It's just LOVE <3<3<3.

Cheers!
