During the warmer months, we are actually over at Lake Iseo pretty regularly. It's not horribly far from here and they often have little events at the weekend or regular markets. The day these pics were taken, along the street parallel to the Lungolago (Lake promenade), local artists showed their work. Two of them particularly caught my eye. I always enjoy art, be it as paintings, music, dance etc. albeit admittedly, not every single one I encounter is to my liking. Some I find outright horrid. A matter of taste. 

Still I enjoy the fact that it was created, that someone sat down and made this. I think we all should do that way more often. And please don't confine creativity to only include the standard arts. Creativity is way way more than just that. It's decorating your home, it's putting that final touch on an otherwise simple outfit, it's inventing a special way to prepare a meal, it's making up a new way to talk yourself out of a corner with your child (we all know those little buggers are good at cornering us...). You probably are creative in way more ways than you give yourself credit for. But there's always room for more.

So like "Woah"! Another year passed. As if it were nothing. And Baby Funky is two years old today!




It sure has been a glorious time so far. I am actually quite giddy and excited about the fact that my little blog made it to the two year mark and is by all effects continously growing. Maybe not as fast as others, maybe not always as fast as I would have liked, but I've learned that we all have our own pace and timing and once you accept yours, things just flow a lot more easily. Also, I fully do believe we all could profit from slowing our lives down and not always go quite so fast.

Anyway. To celebrate and say thank you to my readers who have stuck with me through ups, downs, highs and flakes, I am co-hosting this awesome Giveaway that comes right in time for Christmas/the Holidays. You can win either 500$ as a giftcard for Amazon, or alternatively as Paypal cash.

Good Luck my Dears!

I choose my graphic t-shirts or sweaters, according to whether the message or picture on them speaks to me in some form (and who doesn't, really?). Well, actually, I do that for jewelry too, but today, we are talking about printed on tops.

Wake Up And Live. An edgy, slightly rock, but fairly casual look with graphic sweatshirt and faux leather pants || Funky Jungle - Mindful Fashion & Personal Style Blog

Wake Up And Live. It is astonishing, to what extent we can sleep, even when our eyes are open and we are seemingly wide awake. Yet our mind is so trapped in endless thought chatter, endless tasks, endless distractions, endless comparison and the rat race of ever faster, higher, further that in reality, very few are living fully. In the present moment. We are often either in the past (as also Zaz pointed out this week) or in some hypothetical future, when we finally can start to live because we arrived at having achieved "X". Whatever that may be for you.

I found myself back at the kitty graffity wall for more outfit shooting fun. It was one of the first really warm days here, where we actually had to take off the heavy coats.

I still layered the heck out of it. Wore my grey blazer over a military style button down shirt (I did mention I have lots of those, right?) over a t-shirt dress. The whole mess was then accompanied by two scarfs. As we say, one is none and two is better than one, savvy? "One is none" is very handy when you want to eat something you shouldn't ... but hey, one is none so you aren't actually eating or drinking or buying anything. Just kiddin, don't use this at home.

It's hard to believe, but it really has been over 1 year ago that I wrote the very first post for Funky Jungle. And how much my little one has grown since then. A growth that wouldn't have been possible without you, dear funky readers.

As "Thank You!" from me to you, I am bringing you this exciting giveaway. I almost wish I could take part myself! We are talking Marc Jacobs here Ladies (and Gentlemen).

Here's to many more funky posts! Cheers!

È dura crederci, ma è già passato un anno da quando ho scritto il primo post per Funky Jungle e quanto è cresciuto il mio piccolo da allora. Una crescita che non sarebbe stata possibile senza di voi, cari funky lettori!

Come "Grazie" da parte mia verso di voi, vi porto questo eccitante "giveaway". Quasi quasi vorrei potervi partecipare io stessa! Stiamo parlando di Marc Jacobs qui gentili signore (e signori).

Un augurio per molti altri funky posts! Saluti!

Als "Danke Schoen" von mir an Euch bringe ich Euch diese Verlosung. Wuerde da ehrlich gesagt selbst gerne mitmachen! Ich meine, wir reden hier von Marc Jacobs, Maedels (und Jungs).

Da bleibt mir nur noch der Wunsch auf viele weitere Funky Posts! Prost! ;-)
