Pastel perfection

The Sitting Buddha

Giant sitting atop a mountain in Hong Kong, only

reachable after climbing hundreds of steps, or sitting in

a flea shop in Hanoi amidst dusty clocks and rusty

coins, the image of Buddha brings serenity to any

street scape.

Personally I have always loved the Thai Buddhas with

the opulently flaking gold leaf, and the fat Buddha

with his rosy cheeks , always laughing in his peachy

robes and swathed in opulent gold.

Military Precision.

Military has long been a trend..one that

just won't go away. It just keeps morphing

into different silhouettes and textures.

I like the bomber jacket and the khaki coat

or jacket at the moment, rather than the

brassy buttoned ,black and navy ones we

have seen a bit too much of lately.

Here are some for inspiration.
