Cassandra Rhodin Illustration

Love these wonderful illustrations by Cassandra Rhodin, seem to have a gothic feel with the hard shading round the eyes- Tim Burton inspired perhaps...

Reason Is...

Heres a few street style pictures from Glastonbury
Alexa Chung

Pixie Geldof

Trendy festival attendants

I was going to buy this top from urban outfitters not sure why I didn't...


Hunter and collecting Lookbook (Sweden)



Like the naturalistic style of these images, gives you a feel of the clothing.

Vivienne Westwood Fall 11 RTW



I'm not entirely sure whether to be impressed by this or scared by this runway show, the makeup is reminding me of a Francis Bacon Painting and that is scary. Not loving the whole collection but there is something about it. Grunge mixed with glamour, typical Westwood.

Paris ici je viens



I have just booked a 4 night stay in Paris,
I'm so excited I have never been before there is so much I want to see.
I imagine my bags will be weighed down on the way back with trinkets and beautiful clothes purchased. I'm hoping it is as Romantic as they say as I'm going with the most unromantic person in the world...


This image is from Fashion Toast blog, she has inspired me to take pictures like this when I am there... I will take my Diana F+ Camera I think

Now for what to wear...








I am more than likely going to stock up my wardrobe with urban outfitters as I love their stylish clothing, it is quite relaxed and I think it will be perfect for Paris.

Loving these looks, not sure about the head piece though maybe a tad over the top.


Pull and Bear



Didn't know this store even existed till not long ago,
They have a great website with lots of photography and illustration
Which is good if you’re looking for inspiration?


Lula new issue editorial by Rodarte







I am always impressed by the photo shoots in Lula they are wonderful and are always in keeping of the wistful and dreamy tone. This is exactly the sort of work I would like to produce, and then I would have it on my walls as decoration. It would be my dream job.

As a matter of fact...

Boss of Lula if you somehow miraculously see this please let me work at Lula please! You don't get anything if you don't ask ha...

Pride and Prejudice



"In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." (34.4) Mr Darcy

I watched this exact interpretation of pride and prejudice the other night and I thought it was very well made and I admit it made me cry. I can’t believe the obstacles to love there was then I mean it’s hard enough now as it is... Sentimental I know!

Oh Florence let me raid your wardrobe...




She has seriously good style, everything I like and she keeps it real no fakery.

If You Say Fashion Isn't Art, You Have No Style

I just love the way fashion is inspired from everywhere, Culture and architecture.
It really is an art form, you can get such inspiration from individual pieces and editorials.
Here's a few that I like...



Patric Shaw


Lanvin Resort


Louis Vuitton 1978


Viktor and Rolf 2001-01


Origami by Isaac Salazar

Love Magazine
Oh Donna- Photography from Lillian Bassman





By Inez Van Lamsweerde + Vinoodh Matadin
This is so quirky and inventive


Sandra Backland



Toronto alternative arts and fashion week 2009



TWIGGY- iconic


Just ordered these shoes from asos they were such a bargain on Sale (was supposed to be getting my sister a birthday present but couldn't resist) hope they are as nice as I think they are. They will look great with my fringed dress and loads of big rings...
Got to start doing photo shoots again I love organising them...think I need a 48 hour day.
