Chloe sevigney for OC.

C h l o e S e v i g n e y f o r O p e n i n g C e r e m o n y !
I love this new collection! I mean, any collection that previews with a Garden party has to be great! I loved Chloe Sevigney's last collection for OC, with my favourite piece being the leopard cardigan that has featured on this blog a few times. Therefore, I really like how the leopard print in a non-woggy way has repeated itself. I must say I prefer this collection to the last! I'm not normally one for prints, but these pieces are changing my mind. I love all the polka dots, the leopard print and that metallic brocade!

au revoir!

outfits that I shall steal!

At the moment, school has been generally rude and unforgiving. I am glad that I shall be finished with high school in a few short (who am I kidding- long) months!
As a result of this, I haven't really been able to get out to the shops much...I got to the markets a few weeks ago and got some amazing things ( an oversized emerald green tartan blazer, a nanna-approved vintage dress and a black shirt with a beaded collar + cuffs- perfect for the night times!)

Trolling through my favourite blogs, I have concluded that I don't care if it is cold as all hell outside- I will wear what I please. Right now, these pictures represent the purchases I wish to make. I have always love the 'cashe' look of a loose t-shirt with a skirt...so I think imma get myself a grey marle t-shirt.
Also on my list --- a new blue striped top (a la the third picture----god I love that outfit!) I already have a top like this from Sweden which is my favourite top, it just doesn't fit me nicely, so I plan on getting a better fitted one.
Also on my to- do style list --- Wear my hair in braids more! So pretty!!
au revoir!

As we are now a few days into winter officially, I have been thinking about ways to keep myself warm during the coming months. I have never really been one to dress weather appropriate---I have bad blood circulation so I always end up colder than anticipated! In winter, I am also faced with the conundrum of being anti-jeans. Jeans would be so warm and nice, but they are really not my friend. I can never find jeans that fit my little legs properly... Maise do a lot of 'cropped' jeans, which on me will be normal length. Ironically, I really loved their autumn 09 denim collection, but this year, now that I'm prepared to fork out the money for a good pair of jeans, I don't really like their current collection. Anyone know where I can buy old collections of Maise Jeans?

Jeans aside, these pictures are my winter inspiration pictures. I would love some more stripey tops that fit me well, a chambray top, a grey marl jersey sweater, a beige cardigan, a long skirt, beige and/or navy blue pleated trousers and maybe even some black clogs (more winter appropriate, no?) I love them! Oh the avarice.

Spring/Summer collection ' D a y '
is really lovely.
I saw some looks of this collection on Liebemarlene's blog, and truthfully the grey sock/sandal combination was what initially drew me in. After going on the website, I saw some amazing clothes! I love the muted colour pallet of the mustard, white and the powder blues....I also love the collars! The outfit to the left is just such a perfect summer outfit, white dress, wooden shoes. Lovely.

Mick Jagger's lady.
She Can also be my lady if she so wishes...just look how beautiful she was! My favourite picture is the one to the left, the velvet bow! the wondrous 60's hair! the lace top!
There is a reason she was a major fashion icon of the 60's.

Her style is sort a combination of 60's mod and the 60's british, sort of military style, which I love. Doing these posts I have come to realize how much of what choose to wear these days is because of the inspiration intrinsically instilled in my mind since all those years ago (two...maybe three) when I idolized these women. Even now I cannot doubt how amazing they are. The 60's if by far my favourite decade, followed closely by the 70's...why wasn't I alive then??? RUDE.

au revoir!

Is another of my 60's muses. She is pretty much loved by everyone...I mean, how cool do you have to be to be a singer, actress AND an astrologer!? pretty damn cool I say. THIS is my favourite song of hers, it's pretty upbeat and cute... while still being very french.
She is undeniabley one of the most beautiful women to ever be in the public eye...her style is just gorgeous, too!au revoir!

60s inspirations

A n n a K a r i n a ♥
A lovely conversation with Bri today (about Marrianne Faithfull as a winter fashion icon) I decided to go home and do some well due research into three of my favourite 60's fashion icons---Anna Karina, Francoise Hardy and Marianne Faithfull.
I've decided that it would just be one giant mess of a post if I decided to post about them all together, so I have decided to split them up into a post each---which should help everyone appreciate each girls' individual style more.

Back in 2008, when I really started to fall in love with Vintage, I stumbled across these three lovely ladies, and well, fell in love. Utterly in love. I must say Anna Karina is my favourite of the trio, her dark hair and light eyes, as well as the unrefined elegance she emits makes me understand why she was Godart's muse in the 60's. What a beautiful lady!

au revoir!
