It's interesting how people are so drawn to and soothed by nature. I find Nature to be a great source of inspiration too. Just going for a walk outside calms my nerves and gives me a fresh perspective on things when I am stressed. https://www.etsy.com/shop/EarthChildArt?ref=si_shop
The UK has some of the best summer hotspots: fine scenery, culture, history, good food… if only it had the weather behind it I would be itching to go back there more often. You can travel for 2- 3 hours in the UK and you feel like you’re visiting another country. There’s some diversity, so much newness in each place and so much culture to soak up. It truly is a great country — one that will keep feeding you more and more. Here are my 5 favorite hotspots in the UK! Read more »

I moved to Brighton after a study abroad programme, although I'm from southern France. It's a very pleasant city to visit, so close to London. My favourite spot nearby is Seven Sisters (a jagged part of the cliffs on the coast).

When I found out we were heading to Napa Valley for BottleRock festival my heart started racing a little. I had always wanted to go to Napa Valley. The picture perfect scenery always made me question how this place can actually exist. Acres and acres of vineyards, beautiful countryside and winding roads… it just seemed too perfect – it doesn’t help that I’m also a lover of wine. Read more »

Looks like a great place to live. The city life is ok, only due to the convince of shopping. But the country is were my heart lives.

This week The Great Gatsby launched in the cinemas – a much awaited film by many who were dying to see F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel come to life. With the wild visionary Baz Luhrmann as the director it was obvious to many that this was going to be a something to look forward to.

Normally, being an old-time musician, modern music in an antiquated film irks me- but with this film, not only did I get the use but I found it incredibly appropriate. Rap is the direct descendant of blues & jazz- I find Rap reminds me of real old pre-war jazz more than any other modern form. Did any one else get this, that the director was blending the modern musical evolution with it's past? Even the fancy automobiles, gorgeous women, sparkling diamonds- not unlike some modern rap music videos....
Last week I spent the day in New York to shoot behind the scenes of an upcoming ebook. I had the afternoon free, and was so lucky that it turned out to be quite the beautiful day outside. Read more »

I am going back to NY after living there for 8 years, and being gone for 2 years now. I try to get back there as often as possible. I feel the short trips, although a hussle and bussle city, can really energize and inspire when you feel at home. :) Love your photos.

I am from Sweden and ended up after much travelling in Australia; I have now lived here for 12 years. But I have always felt a strange "pull" from Kyrgyzstan and also East Turkestan/Xinjiang (Western China). I can't explain it; it has always been there, it is completely random. Maybe one day I just have to go and find out.

How do you identify trees? It’s simple: Learn their leaves. Come spring when the trees around us start to wake up and bloom again it’s fascinating and beautiful to see the different styles; the different shape of the leaves, the different textures and the diversity in thickness. Read more »

Spring always seems to be a time of new beginnings. The change of weather fosters the growth of new plant and animal life – and that’s not all. I always seem to go through the most drastic changes in my life during the springtime, too. Read more »

Our May catalog was shot in the beautiful and vibrant city of Brazil — Rio de Janeiro. A city that has so much energy that as soon as you arrive you know it’s going to be a non-stop fuel-packed trip. I have always wanted to go to Brazil. They say that once visited it’s never forgotten — it dazzles in vibrant culture, breathtaking landscapes and curious wildlife and not to mention it boasts the world’s largest rainforest and has miles and miles of coastline.
