‘Boho never says no to leather’
Theres never a day without leather as a part of my personal way of life. I love leather, the look, smell, touch and feel whether it’s a part of furniture, home decoration, accessory, bag or shoes. Basically leather is an essence of my aka Forest Wanderer’s lifestyle which regularly leads me to leather goods hunt both online and at stores.
A year ago I came across Atitlan Leather from Guatemala on Etsy and was so attracted to their products. Since then my adoration towards handmade leather grew even stronger. Though I wasn’t able to touch and smell them physically but their quality through photos spoke all the hard work done.
‘Atitlan Leather’, artisanal leather goods from Guatemala around the ‘Lake Atitlan’ founded since 2013. Their products are specially produced to accommodate those unique travelers out there, offering durability, practical, and affordable quality to fit perfectly into their lifestyles. Money belts, boots, bags to backpacks you named it!
The strong bond between leather and I has influenced and inspired me to create a one day lifestyle styling with Atitlan Leather products. So, there I went on a road trip to the Northern part of Thailand with a bag full of their leather goodies! Woo!
Arrived at Thongma Studio, our coffee break stop along the way.
Camera is a part of my life, to have a good strap for your camera is like dressing up with a good taste.
Belts!!
Knock knock! Never ever leave home without a bag or two, well that’s my personal logic anyway :P
It was so good to be outdoor around the suburban district of Chiang Mai. What a perfect weather and lighting for shooting!
This is one of my favourite bags from Atitlan Leather. It matches really well with denim. You try.
A day passed by so quickly, full of fun and enjoyment having to style up with leather products. Honestly it was pretty easy for me to mix and match them. If you think you have no style or no clues on how to dress up with leathers just put on your simplest outfit, add a bit of leather on, you can definitely pull it off in some ways. Trust me ;)
Don’t hesitate, do drop by www.atitlanleather.com for more goodies. Some of there signature items like money belts and wallets do sell pretty fast, so hurry! They are there for you to complete your style!

‘A date with Mr. Nature’
So we hit the boring rainy season again this time of year. It maybe slightly harder for some of us, wanderers, to travel, but hey the rain couldn’t stop me from spinning around the green.
I recently figured out one good spot to spend a day amongst trees without getting wet. It is one of the largest botanical green house in Chiang Mai. There you go I dressed up in chichi ootd with my newest item from Stevie May ‘Hit The Spot Blouse’ in white. The blouse is made from soft dotty tulle fabrics, light and very cooling, hence the humidity can’t stop me from being a romantic boho wanderer.
Goodbye Mr.Nature, I will see you again soon!

After a stopover at cactus nurseries about a week ago, I was urged to visit the massive cactus greenhouse located at National Botanic Garden up on the mountain in Chiang Mai. Well I have heard and seen a lot of pictures taken from the place but never once visited, so it’s time hooray!
It was a pretty cloudy day, great for photos but the humidity was still killing me. Fortunately, I had my Ancient Greek Taygete White Leather Sandals on which I got from Designers Guild, super chic and comfy. I could enjoy the environment for hours. Leather, dessert, and cactuses :)
To be honest I’m not the kind who would dress up with sandals unless I’m just walking around my house or somewhere near the beach. I’m more of flats and canvas sneakers person, but this pair is just so chic for a day like this with cactuses!
——————————————————————————————————————-
Ancient Greek Sandals are handmade locally by skilled craftsmen using traditional techniques that have existed for centuries. A raw, yet feminine aesthetic distinguishes this new sandal brand. The chemical free, natural tan leather ages beautifully with time and wear.
Christina and Nikolas’s love for Ancient Greece and its history, combined with their individual technical skills naturally led to the creation of ‘Ancient Greek Sandals’. The collection is inspired by ancient Greek Gods and myths, pottery, jewellery and sculpture.

Hey people! Thought I would do a little ‘room tour’ for you (emphasis on the word little as you can see, my room is tiny haha)
When I first moved in this room hadn’t been decorated in about 20 years and that really is a generous estimate if the Pocahontas border and brown carpet were any indication.
Anyway we spent many long days getting it to this point with as little money as possible. Doing things like sanding the floor with a hand sander and staining it ourselves. It was back breaking work but every morning I wake up and feel so much better seeing a fresh and positive space.
I may not be able to afford a nice new bed to replace the 15 year old one I have but I was able to get a lovely mattress topper.
I may not be able to get all those cute decorations from Zara home but I can find old family nicknacks and give them a new home.
I may not have a lot of possessions but hey it makes it a hell of a lot easier to keep clean.
I remember when my friend came over and looked around room and asked when I was moving the rest of my stuff in and proceeded to look totally perplexed when I informed here that this was in fact all my stuff.
I don’t mean this as an attack on anyone else’s lifestyle, if you can afford to by lots of things and it makes you happy rock on but for those who might be in a bit of a slump or feeling a little inferior to the 'influencers’ ( I know I do from time to time )
Remember that they are salespeople presenting something to you just like when you see an infomercial on the tv. You don’t need to spend tons of money to live a happy fulfilled life. You can have pretty clothes (maybe not as many), you can eat delicious food ( maybe in won’t be organic, hand picked by woodland nymphs or what ever) and you can live in a nice space (even if you have to sand the floors by hand )
Some times it takes having less to be able to see what there is to appreciate. I doubt you will look back on your life in say 40 years time and think “ drat! I wish I had purchased more things!”
And remember ever penny saved else where can go to glorious, glorious hummus !!
