Equality On Earth...

Photographer James Mollison had an idea for a book with a title “Bedrooms” in his mind, he set out on a five year assignment crisscrossing the world and photographing kids where they live. He quickly discovered that every child’s situation didn’t match his own memory of his childhood bedroom. ”I realised that my experience of having a ‘bedroom’ simply doesn’t apply to so many kids,” writes James in the book’s introduction.

Pairing children’s portraits with a picture of their living space creates a moving and often shocking result. I hope that these photographs encourage us all to be more aware of the major inequalities on our planet.

Two Scoops...

The trends for this spring are sending me into a flurry of pure ELATION!

"Pale Fire", as Style.com has named it, is one of the many Spring trends we are yet to see...

For a while now our streets have been splashed with an abundance of colour! Electric neons and brights have ruled the fashion world for sometime now. Don't get me wrong...colour blocking has been amazing and big bold colours make me happy BUT...

These new ice cream shades have brought me to my knees! its fresh, girlie and above all it EPITOMIZES the spring time!

So heres the important question..."Would you like two scoops or one?"

Spring has sprung, the grass has ris’,

               I wonder where the birdie is?

There he is up in the sky,

He dropped some whitewash in my eye!

I‘m alright, I won't cry,

I'm just glad that cows can't fly!

London Love...

What does my future hold for me?

I wish I could get to know.

My past goes with me,

where ever i want to go.

The best years of my life,

are  perhaps gone for ever.

But in my memories of life,

they live on for ever.

My friends and dear ones are no more with me,

but they are ever young in my memories.

Their pictures will for ever stay with me,

as long as i retain those memories.

When ever I feel the need,

to talk to them.

All I have to do indeed,

is to my mind recall them.

As of now it is the present,  

that is what is most important now.

The memories were of past,

and a new day begins as the sun rises tomorrow.

Giving me a fresh new page to write on,

all new memories for the future.

I have to live in the present and in the now,

before my time comes some day in future.

I will build my memories again,

adding new and better ones every day.

Ensuring that I become a better person,

than I was yesterday.

My own betterment,

is a spiritual upward pathway.

Striving for excellence,

is the lesson of my destiny.
