Bring Me Spring, Bring Me BLKKANGAROO

So a few days ago, I was browsing through a couple African blogs and such, seeing what's happening in the mother land, and I stumbled upon this gem.

From the Blkkmarket Facebook. Lovely, yes.

BLKKANGAROO and the BLKKMARKET Spring/Summer 2015 collection.

It's everything I could ever ask a Spring/Summer collection to be. Vibrant, colourful (Canadian spelling), and stylish. Established in June of 2012, the African label is young, but is making a name for itself. Blkkangaroo is a "fresh take on the African aesthetics", and with its "If found, send back to the motherland" tees, I cannot help but feel the urge to buy literally everything. But sadly, money is a thing, and a thing I do not have. Oh the struggles of a jobless teen.

Anyways, definitely check out the BLKKMARKET collection. It's very reflective of native African tribes through its graphics, but also creates a very modern scene through the colours and tunic styled tees. Pay attention to the meaning behind the clothes, because Blkkangaroo is more than just a brand.

Not Another Teenage Blogger...

Yes, yes it is another teenage blogger.

Of course, 2015 seems a little late to step into the oh so competitive world of blogging, anything is better late than never right? Or at least that's what I try to tell myself before spending 5 hours reading about blog platform and HTML coding. Which, just to let you guys know, I still have no understanding of. So, time wasted? Maybe not.

Last night, I was emotional. You know, stereotypical teenage girl type of emotional where you just want to roll around on the floor and cry and listen to very intense dream-pop music, because who else can feel your pain better than Beach House? Come on, Real Love, Gila? Those songs are meant for my body on floor, featuring a tear or two.  Okay, maybe three.

Anyways, that whole this was weird. Yes, very weird. I was getting emotional because, well, I don't know. I don;t know, and I think it's okay not to know sometimes. Why do people always feel that there needs to be a reason for someone to be emotional? I'm young, and I'm dumb, and sometimes I just want to scream and shout, and other times, I just want to tell the world that I love you all.

This post, is just a post. It's just me talking, literally, to myself, or to you, in my room. But, I think it's always the beginning of something. It could be the beginning of something really significant, to at least. And with that, I'm pretty happy. After my emotional drama, I realized that I wanted to take another go at blogging (yes, I've tried and failed multiple times, but never give up right?) and do something just for me. Just for Zuw. but I also wanted to share with you guys (whoever you guys are). So, this whole thing, as you've probably noticed from the title, is about being true to yourself and being true to others. So, this is me trying to be true to Zuw.
