Sunglasses

Sunglasses, the sign of summer, sun, light, warmth & joy. Sunglasses have long been associated with celebrities and filmactors primarily from a desire to mask their identity. Since the 1940s sunglasses have been popular as a fashion accessory, especially on the beach. Inexpensive mass-produced sunglasses were introduced to America by Sam Foster in 1929. A big magazine stated that 20 million sunglasses were sold in the United States in 1937, but estimated that only about 25% of American wearers needed them to protect their eyes. I guess it’s different now for several reasons.

The thing is that it would be unbearable without sunglasses during most of the year, at least on this side of the world. Without protection, cornea would be destroyed in the strong sun. Sunglasses are great to use when you want to be a little anonymous. Or if you don’t want to hang out or to talk to anyone or just to be left alone. But they work just as well the other way, if you want to be noticed, if you want attention – it’s all about attitude & style, simply put.

Daily inspiration, accessories

I am not a big user of accessories. Or rather, I do like to use at times, but I seldom take the time to do that on weekdays. I wear uniform at work & it does not feel particularly relevant then. These thin, slim & fairly simple designed rings falls within my preferences.

Line up

I picked slightly different images at random where the only common, is that it’s a kind of in-a-row theme in them. Can not say why I did so. I just felt that it was simple & rather uncomplicated because I couldn’t bring myself to do something more ambitious. But it proved to be more difficult than expected actually. It took a while too. But as always when I search for images, there’s so much details, solutions, colours. It’s inspiring in one way or another, that I lose myself in time & place. All of them are certainly not fancy, but it’s not supposed to be so, everything you see shouldn’t be according your liking. That would make things rather boring.

So these are my finds today 🙂

Daily inspiration, vest

You need intuition, to be able to select an ensemble similar to this & make it appealing. The vest in itself, would look ordinary & maybe out of style, if not a talented person got it right. Not everyone would appreciate this but it’s nevertheless very personal…and I like it!

Daily inspiration, ballet

One can find beauty in everything. Like in this nice picture of brittle & tough – in a nice mix. Wanting & able to at the same time, but then you don’t have the right equipment – a moment of beauty as well as spontaneity maybe.
