Forever inspiration in life!! I heart Janis!! I love her style, her voice, her music..

Hippie Style Q & A

#1. When did you get into hippie fashion?
I was about 14 when I got interested in psychedelica fashion thanks to the groovy people in my art class who were into that scene and they were so inspiring..and then i did loads of researches online and i discovered The Doors and the song "Light My Fire" really did it for me.  Also watching "Monterey Pop" and "Woodstock 69" online, and then I started my obsession with Janis Joplin and what she wore back then.  Stay true to yourself, i've always been a total "flower child"! i was wearing daisies in my hair and mom would make me flower crowns out of wild flowers when we went for picnics since i was 6 years old in the 90s..i wish i could experience the late 60s and 70s, and i would've loved to live next door to Marc Bolan or Bowie or me and Stevie Nicks would've been best friends! Also I love the 70s variety of fashion from Glam Rock, to Disco Fever, to Punk Rock..its just an endless array of styles then.

#2. Would you want to live in the 1960s?
I would say late 60s between 1967 - 1969, but mostly I would love to live in the 1970s!!

#3. Are you a mod or a rocker?
hippie/boho flowerchild

#4. What got you into the 1960s?
My art class friends in high school, basically.  They wore the most amazing hippie stuff, and were so groovy!! So, i'd like to shout out to them for making me realize who I am and sticking with it in the long run.

#5. Worst fashion decade?
The 80s..hands down! Um..i'd also like to say the millennium because there is nothing in fashion to get excited about anymore, thus I thrift loads!! Also, people today basically dress like its the freakin' apocalypse! People all dress the same in dark, drab colours, with no patterns hardly just a blank slate just to blend themselves into the crowd.  Even the young people really don't care about fashion anymore other than shopping at Vans! That is why stores like Forever21 are gone because at least that store brought something different and exciting with colourful clothing and patterns etc..I found quite a lot of vintage-y items from there, so I totally miss that store, now I just thrift..thrift..thrift! And yes its hard to always stand out from everyone else, but I learnt to ignore and just be my colourful hippie self!!

#6. Best fashion decade?
late 60s/psychedelic trippy people

#7. What's the oldest hippie item you possess?
I have so many..umm..probably a picture made out of wooden sticks that belonged to my Grandma in the 70s.

Sunflower Girl Daydreamer

Strange weather has prompted me to place a sunflower on my a hippie floppy hat I recently thrifted at Goodwill..been wanting a big hat like this for a while, its way too big for my head so I had to glue black felt inside of the rim, and its okay now. It sucks that most hats don't fit me..anyone else have that problem? I love the way the sunlight hits my Mandala rug wall hanging a lot! Its been raining all day today and by the time I got home from art class, my shoes were totally soaked..ugh! I also had tomato soup for dinner..not a fan of tomato soup coz it burns my stomach but there was no other soups in the kitchen cabinet so I had to settle for that..i was so cold that I needed soup to warm me up. I will be watching a hippie movie later..haven't decided between "Taking Woodstock" or "Festival Express".

Mystical Stones

The purple glitter heart stone is new, and the calcite green one.  Been watching African scenery because I have the winter blues!! Also I recently discovered the film "Gods Must Be Crazy" and the Bush people are so sweet & cute & they live their lives in total harmony..no internet, no traffic, no violence..just total peace.  The only thing they have to worry about are the dangerous animals roaming the night, like the hyena.  I would trade this horrible world any day to become a Bush person!

Psychedelic Mood Board

I've gotten most of these psychedelic pictures off of Fractal Art websites, and also The Shroomery.org a long while back..I've been cleaning my room and I came across all these groovy stuff so I decided to create a psychedelic hippie mood board in my art room. I've also been getting into Bob Dylan's music lately. I find so much inspiration in other people..like Cosmobliss and Beloved Shakti..these two have amazing rooms!! I also did Which Beatle Am I? quiz and I got By George! You're a Hare Krishna Harrison! Not my fav. Beatle though, mine is Ringo!

Zodiac Eyeshadow Palette

The Zodiac Eyeshadow palette is amazing!! It's by bh cosmetics, there's 25 eyeshadows and highlighter which is in the center of the galaxy..its also a cruelty free product which makes me super happy!! ..other level are eyeshadows without the shimmer.  I love wearing false eyelashes a lot!! Been experimenting with them lately.  Yesterday I went thrifting and found some groovy stuff, will post on that soon.  Also we had dinner at Johnny Rocco's..this time I tried the butternut squash chicken in sage oil risotto..soo good!!! Very rich though! And hazelnut cheesecake was also yummy!! The latte macchiato was very bitter so I had to put in 5 packs of sugar to sweeten it and then it tasted good!! I'm not a fan of coffee so if I do drink any, it has to be super sweet.  I do love mocha the most.  But I am a huge tea drinker!

Luxe Tribe Wellness Stones

These amazing beautiful stones I got for X-mas..it's called the Luxe Tribe Sparkletunity & Wellness Collection and I got Growth..the stones are Celestite which symbolizes peace and harmony, and brings a sense of calm..its the blueish stone on the top left and it comes from Madagascar, the Calcite: a protecting and grounding stone, it can help bring inner peace and promotes creativity and imagination..im not sure if the one on the bottom is calcite? this stone is from Mexico.  The brown one wasn't mentioned in the booklet I got..its a brown crystal stone..don't know its proper name?? And I heart my vintage Queen In Concert t-shirt I got at Out of the Past..

Hippie Nature Room Tour

A hippie perspective includes plants (faux and real), Indian wall décor, sand beanie creatures, tapestries, Mandala prints, Moroccan mirror, celestial stuff..i heart the way my room looks..picture it with patchouli incense burning and listening to Strawberry Alarm Clock.

Buddha Stone

"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly." - Buddha
Place the stone in your pocket or purse to use as a reminder to live in the now..to let go of stress or worries..or imagine peace and serenity flowing into your life as you hold the stone.

Hippie Mood Board

My groovy moodboard filled with exotic places, magic mushrooms, daisies, butterflies, etc..my new hat, velvety soft and reminds me of a similar hat that John Phillips wore in the Mamas and Papas! I love this hat soo much!! And this groovy psychedelic elephant tote bag is from the Rainforest Café shop.  All proceeds go towards helping the rain forest in Brazil, I always support any animal organization!!

Happy B-Day Bowie!!

Happy Birthday my Moonbeam of Light, we miss you Bowie!!

Free Spirit Pisces

Pisces - the kindred spirit - connected with themselves and their emotions, very intuitive and paying attention to the things happening around them, they are true artists, creativity is limitless, they are dreamers, often living in their own fantasy world, pure heart and compassion for all..
Yes, this is soo me!! especially the part of living in my own fantasy world..haha..i really hate reality most of the time. Even though my b-day end of March, I've never been an Aries, that is not me.  Anyways, I never make New Year's resolutions but I will try to be a lot more patient in 2020, and I really want to stay true to myself as well, I like sometimes experimenting with retro fashion, but I still like being a hippie flower child the most!! I also want to see new places, longer road trips, more outdoor festivals etc..it's time to live and be free!!
