POP ART & POSTERS // Decor , Lifestyle

The month is zooming by so quickly and already the push to get things for Christmas has started.
As much as I love the season, I find the onslaught of ads and sales can be to overwhelming
For me this time of year is when I think more of decorating or making some small changes inside.

Simple things that are not overly expensive but make me feel the space is comfortable .
One way I find that make a big impact is art. Lately I have had a interest in posters.
Trying to find the RIGHT poster for a space. What is nice about posters is the size, they
can fill a wall nicely, usually they are colourful and very interesting.

Posters were very popular as a way to advertise , promote a place or sport. Some of the
great posters you might have seen are of the french theme, Warhol Marilyn Monroe, Campbell soup can or the Olympics and many others.

For the next few months in Vienna there is a showing of posters being held at the MUK ,
something different to see for anyone visiting the city during Christmas time. (and happen to like pop art) then it is something to check out.

I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement .
