Travel in Mind

I am traveling to Vancouver this week for some rest and relaxation, but I will of course have my camera ready for fresh trends, street shots and print inspiration!

Earlier today I came across a wonderful new blog, the thesartorialist, where there are amazing street shots of men and women who look effortlessly chic. These images are inspiring me to focus on my travel aspirations. Europe...here I come! Check out the site at http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/
