It was dark when we set off. That
early morning darkness, just before the sunlight peaks her weary head through
the clouds. We didn’t care. We were restless, free and ready for anything.....
The old & rusted mustang sat
waiting in the drive, wondering where we were heading. We wondered the
same.....As the engine kicked into gear, we turned the music up way too loud
for such an ungodly hour & felt on top of the world. The top was down, we
were freezing. But we didn’t care.
I knew she wanted to drive
through the night, see the nocturnal animals whose bright eyes would light up
the sky. She wanted to see the botanical gardens – had a thing for wild flowers
and toxic plants – could name them all on a whim. We’d pick up vintage postcards
that would never be sent & eat ice cream that would melt before we could
finish. The mountains would spread out before us and she would be in her
element.
We drove and drove as the morning
light became brighter and shone into our glittering eyes. Palm trees began to
take shape and reminded us that we were close to the seaside. We threw back our
heads and laughed. We already knew that this trip would be magical.....
We were wanderers, but by no
means were we lost.....
AW14 Wanderlust
sees KELLY LOVE imagine a world without ties and the freedom to explore ones
existence through travel and exploration. Eclectic prints of flowers on vintage
postcards and the more traditional floral prints that the label is known for
are washed over luxurious silks & man-made fibres. A complete contrast of
textures sees Leather, Mohair and Embroidered cotton sit alongside the silken
pieces.
Sit back and enjoy
the journey of texture and colour along with your imagination about what will
be....take everything as it comes. Travel to see the world if only in your
mind...for as we all know, “Not all those who wander are lost”
