Inspiration bin toys and chairs/stools by Lesauskas

Bins we throw away and how they could be recycled

this is amazing you know how when you where little and you went to the rural areas( best place to be at grans house) and all the boys had the wire cars or how u would use a box as an imaginary car well this would be the best present to get if i was young again.the amount of bins we throw away and do nothing with could be used to make little kids happy .this looks too fun

i wish i could be a kid again and have this.

also looking at this website that i stumbled aporn whilst research information for a brand i am working on at work i found amazing quirky ideas for furniture. i love odd looking things and these stools and chairs would be so perfect in my (imaginary house lol)
 all made out recycling parts from broken chairs and tables

Ankara fashion show 2010

I love the textures , colours and patterns of the Ankara fabrics.their big bold , statement makers ,fun and sexy too. since researching different Ankara styles i have found a lot of designers which i am going to post on my blog and its kind of got me close to my inner African(ness) if that's even a word .

African women are every inspiring and always look presentable in their traditional clothes, i remember as a kid i use to get embarrassed when my mum would wear her African clothes to parents evenings etc but now i love her in her clothes . she looks gorgeous and just a true queen.since last year when African textures and the whole ethnic look came in i believe a lot of designers are starting to find more inspiration in their fabrics and using them as part of their collections.

Look at my following post of the African fashion week , the designers who inspired me and some of the inspiration for my Ankara (so said i missed it damn third year and dissertation ).
