So apparantly, beanies are trending this winter. To my knowledge, experience and in my opinion, beanies have always been trending. In fact, it was never a trend, it was designed and created to prevent the cold from entering the ears, simultaneously wrapping the head in warmth.
Quite frankly, and as I've reiterated many times before, I dont understand why trends are so important. I absolutely detest the idea of being told what to wear and, what to listen to.
Print and electronic media reinforces this repetitive message, too the masses, almost planting a seed in the conscience, to follow a trend.
Now dont get me wrong, to each his own, but I truly believe in thinking for one's self.
The point I am trying to make, is that I would never want to be a carbon copy of some thing, or some one else. The mainstream media, from fashion through to music and film, promote what I call, the carbon copy civilisation.

Digression gets the better of me.. I apologise. On the topic of Beanies, I was recently offered a gift from CL Styling House by Tara-Lee Delport. An amazing faux fur lumo pink beanie ,which I wear quite often. Adore the colour, but moreso, love the fact that it serves its original purpose... it snuggles my head and ears with tender loving warmth!
So to conclude this post I would like to share this quote with you, something that stuck with me. It goes a little something like this:
