New beginnings...

So, the start of something beautiful, i hope. I plan to use this blog as something of a stockpile of inspiration things i see, things i love, things i want to share with the world. And I hope others will be just as inspired too!

Today i've been planning my halloween costume, and its gotten me into a bit of a Frida Kahlo mood. She was an absolutely amazing mexican surrealist and portrait artist, with an undeniable sense of style and natural beauty. In every photo and portrait you see of her, she always seems so strong and at the same time, graceful. Heres what i mean:
the beautiful Frida Kahlo

Her art has always inspired me, because every one of her works is a symbolic outpouring of emotions and she was never afraid to linger on the darker side (in fact, she had quite the fascination with sexuality, and death- things she dealt with alot in her short but very full life)...

One of my favourites of hers:
"What the water gave me"- 1938
