Ever since I first watched Gypsy Girl when I was 10, and read all of the books in the series by Elizabeth Arnold about a young gypsy girl who lived with her gypsy family in their caravan at the end of a suburban street, I've been intrigued by the romanticized gypsy life. All the colors in their clothes and in their homes, their free-spiritedness, closeness to nature and artistic abilities, their inherent quirkiness and individuality, and familial closeness caught my attention. Our shared love of traveling and the fact that I have spent most of my life on the move, also attracted me and ever since then my style has had some romany (gypsy-related) elements in it. If you are like me and harbor dreams of being a gypsy, read on.
The easiest way to embrace this style is by channeling your bohemian leanings. The bohemian trend was largely influenced by romany style dressing. So think gypsy skirts, peasant tops, tunics, exotic prints, tons of jewelry and color (especially jewel tones).
When it comes to the gypsy style beauty there are two ways you can go: natural or jeweled. The Natural look has to do with accenting your current attributes in such a way that you don't look like you are wearing make-up. The jeweled look has to do with jewel tone polish and eye-shadow, smokey-black eyes with black mascara and eyeliner and lightly glosses lips.
Go thrift store and antique shop hunting. You can probably pick up some really fantastic unique pieces for your wardrobe.
Listen to "indie" type music. Think lighthearted, light-spirited acoustic style music e.g anything Iron and Wine, Blue glass by Furlough, etc.
Go horseback riding.
Take your favorite art supplies ( notebook and pen, sketchbook and pencil, paints, camera, etc) and go to your closest connection to nature. Spend an afternoon allowing nature to inspire you.
Lay in a field and watch clouds go by or if its raining feel free to play in the rain.
Have friends and family over, and have a bonfire/campfire night out. Dance around the campfire.
Go flower and/or fruit picking.
Explore a nearby town, a different neighborhood, or if you can't physically go anywhere try heading to the library and distancing yourself from reality through reading.
Don't forget to have fun on your own and with other people.
Love you all and Stay inspired,
P.S. So let me know know what you think. Have you ever desired to be a traveller/gypsy/Romany? Feel free to let me know in the comments below.
P.P.S I am in no way an expert and honestly this is all for fun, and based off fictional gypsies. I do not intend to offend anyone and if you happen to know more about the subject I would most definitely love to hear from you via email at aury4eva@gmail.com.

My number 6 for this week,'Sign Your Name" is a massive, fruity euro banger taking its sample for a classic 80's Trent D'Arby hit. In three words? IBIZA SUMMER SMASH!
Another new entry for me this week see's Australian Dance Pioneers Itch-E and Scratchee come together on dancefloor gem, "Back 2 The Jack". Original is hot, but Tom Piper on the remix nails it......
Speaking of Tom Piper, the Sydneysider is back along with Tommy Trash on a track called "All My Friends". Mybacks remix is the one to watch.
David Guetta continues to team up with some of the biggest names in music.....on his latest offering "Who's That Chick?", Rhianna steps up on the vocals. Whilst the original is fairly crap, Afrojacks dubbed out remix crafts it into a glitchy gem!
This week saw more remixes released for Sweedish House Mafia's club SMASH "Miami to Ibiza"........i've been raving on about the original of this for weeks and spining it on solid repeat. Finally found a remix i'm possibly digging even more than the ext version.......welcome Static Revenger on the remix tip! He's done a remix and dub version......Both are seriously loud, loose and Heavy! Must have tune!
Dark, Dirty and Dancefloor ready, Deadmau 5 is back with a new offering off his long player "4x4= 12" which was released officially on Dec 3. Titled "Sofi needs a ladder", he debuted this track earlier in the year at Ultra Music Festival in Miami and its had Dj's raving internationally since.
NEW RELEASE OF THE WEEK!!! "Golden Train" by Chris Glover aka Penguin Prison, Not going to waste time talking about it....just peep the Kim Fai remix and see for yourself. MASSIVE TUNE!
And finally.....i've never been a huge Jessica Mauboy fan but with DCUP on the remix tip, couldn't skip this flirty number for a bit of chart love. Its fun, fluffy and i dare any Dj to drop this in the club and not get the ladies flock to the dancefloor. "Saturday Night"......

Never Say Never (1998) Lyrics: Almost made you love me Almost made you cry Almost made you happy, baby Didn't I didn't I You almost had me thinkin' You were turned around But everybody knows Almost doesn't count Almost heard you saying You were finally free What was always missing for you, baby You'd found it in me But you can't get to heaven Half off the ground Everybody knows Almost doesn't count I can't keep on lovin' you One foot outside the door I hear a funny hesitation Of a heart that's never really sure Can't keep on tryin' If you're looking for more Than all that I could give you Than what you came here for Gonna find me somebody Not afraid to let go Want a no doubt be there kind of man You came real close But everytime you built me up You only let me down And everybody knows Almost doesn't count heyyy heyyy everybody know heyyy heyyy cant keep on baby cant keep on trying everybody know almost doesnt count I can't keep on lovin' you One foot outside the door I hear a funny hesitation Of a heart that's never really sure Can't keep on tryin' If you're looking for more Than all that I could give you Than what you came here for Maybe you'll be sorry Maybe you'll be cold Maybe you'll come runnin' back, baby From the cruel cruel world Almost convince me You're gonna stick around But everybody knows Almost doesn't count So maybe I'll be here Maybe I'll see ya 'round That's the way it goes Almost doesn't count

Spring and summer naturally evoke feelings of calm ocean waters and tranquil beach vacations in cool, vibrant, tropical Turquoise. This soothing hue from the blue-green family conjures feelings of escape, especially when paired with Amparo Blue. With more warmth than the typical springnavy, this particular shade of blue is extremely appealing because of its brighter, more energeticattitude. Like the scent of a blossoming flower, Violet lends a romantic air to the warm-weather palette. This intriguing purplish hue is a distinctive addition to any wardrobe.
Spring Summer also influence how people select the color and type of lingerie. This Spring and Summer 2010 people tend to select the clear and fresh colour.
For someone who loves birthdays so much, I'm terrible at remembering them. I desperately need a better organizational tool now that my family has tripled in size, so I've begun looking for birthday calendars. Thus far, the birthday calendar by Linda & Harriet is my favorite. It's the worst feeling in the world to forget a loved one's birthday, isn't it? How do you keep up with everyone's special day?
Normally, I share my recent favorite six items from Etsy, but I'm feeling snazzy this Monday morning so I thought we'd change it up and take a look at the many lust-worthy items on Supermarket. I'm definitely feeling the push of the holidays, so I'm interested in gift worthy items like these:

Title: Grocery Shopping Fun @ Market Basket ("The Zoo"), Mall at Whitney Field
Courtesey of a nice $30 gift card from my workplace, we go to one of the Market Basket supermarket locations (Mall at Whitney Field, Leominster, Massachusetts), to stockpile groceries, with the help of said gift card. Problem here is, this place is mobbed 24/7/365. Here's a grocery run in the most crowded supermarket I've ever shopped in, and lucky me, this is actually a "dead" moment, which made things "easy"!
Last night, as I was reading Twelfth Night in the second floor lounge of the Law Building, one of my favorite songs ever Leave Out All The Restby Linkin Park, came on and all thoughts of what would become of Olivia and Orsino instantly abandoned my mind. You see, a couple of days ago, a fellow sophomore died and although I didn't know him I was deeply saddened because I know what it feels like to lose someone, especially someone that was close to you in age, because it just reminds of our mortality. I've been thinking a lot about goals lately and this sad event combined with the song made me think about goals in a whole new way. This song's lyrics are so full of meaning I just have to write it all, because I could never put it better:
"Leave Out All The Rest"
I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here.
So if you're asking me I want you to know
[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]
Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shed but I'm me
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
And if you're asking me I want you to know
[Chorus]
Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
[Chorus]
Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are
- From AZ lyrics
When your time comes, what will people remember you for? What do you want to be remembered for? Because these are the major life goals that you should be working towards all the time. What are your reasons to be missed?
My Reasons to be missed
I want to be missed because...
I am a caring and loving person.
I give myself completely to the people and causes I care about.
My art work and the way I lived my life inspired and continues to inspire people.
I want to be that person. I'm not there yet but I will work on it and hopefully I will be there one day.
I feel like finding out your reasons to be missed is enough of a seeking inspiration exercise today so good luck in your search and when you're done may I suggest immortalising them by: ?writing them down on an inspiration board
?take a picture of list and put it online
?writing them somewhere you can see them regularly
P.S. So let me know what you think. What are your reasons to be missed? How would you represent them or immortalise them What inspired you this week? Feel free to let me know in the comments below. And if you want to keep up to date with my posts you can Follow my blog with bloglovin
