Photo Diary: Explorations & Inspirations
Hello again! I am still in Tanzania but thought I'd post another photo update from my trip... Kufurahia (that means "enjoy" in Swahili)!
Made some friends a few days ago while visiting Msafiri!
Once again, I'm wearing my head lamp. Here I'm having a little snack before heading to the airport for an early flight to Dar es Salaam:
Once we arrived in Dar es Salaam, I was really taken aback by all the beautiful colors. Perfect inspiration for my spring collection...
Woke up bright and early... Isn't this gorgeous?
My travel buddy, Hannah, really knows the way to my heart. She woke me up with two gifts, a bug zapper and coconut water. Perfection.
Down the hatch...
Bought some paintings while exploring. Really loved this one in particular:
Stopped by the grocery store... I guess they don't say "one stop shop" for nothing... 
Scraps. Again, more great color inspiration... 
Paper bag tee... Dry-clean only. 
Where do you find inspiration?
I usually find color inspo throughout my travels or in nature. Personally, I think Mother Nature has the best eye when it comes to color combinations.

outside. it's amazing what inspires you when you are in a peaceful state of mind. also, by traveling. going to different cities gives you a different perception of everything.

Ohhhh I am so jealous! I've been dying to go to Africa! I have a sponsor kid in Swaziland so I love learning Swahili words. I'll have to remember "Kufurahia" for when I make it down there. (Hopefully sooner than later.) Love the photos you've been sharing!

OOOOOOH :D I have the exact same bug zapper!!!!!! My boyfriend and I had so much fun last summer with this crazy thing, hiting mosquitos!
I hope that you enjoy it Lauren ;) -
Lauren- Did you go on the trip purely for luxury or fun, or is this some kind of mission trip? You seem to have a few "group" shots-- they're not typical "tourist" pics. Beautiful!

I agree about Mother Nature being the greatest source of inspiration for color combos, etc. In fact, I just posted about this a few weeks ago on my blog when I wore colors inspired by lilies: "From color combinations, to the textures and the way things move, nature, in my opinion, is where all great art comes from. And since fashion is my way of being creative in everyday life, I will always be inspired by nature's beauty" ... you can see this at my post A Bouquet of Lilies!
