Two of my favourite people! Liz and Patrick

My Birthday cake!!

A bit grainy but the outfit I wore to go clubbing for Liz's Birthday

     A very fun night at a pancake party :) 

First off, I'm sorry some of the images from the previous post on the Rodarte collection did not work. But I have them fixed now (I think). I'm really not very tech savvy but I hope they work for everybody and not just me now.

Secondly, I've decided I don't show nearly enough of me on this blog for it to really be my personal style and my life. SO here's to amending that. My life isn't too fancy by any means but I'll do my best to make this a better representation of what it is rather than simply a series of sartorial inspiration from various runways and look-books. It was my 19th birthday two days ago and I'm having a few friends around on the weekend to celebrate with me so I'll certainly have more photos then.

Thirdly. I have a (huge) blogger crush on Nicole Warne of Gary Pepper, but then, who doesn't? Her style is just so spectacular and her life, overseeing her online vintage shop and zipping around between Fashion Weeks all over the world has me green with envy. I feel so inspired by her and she makes my desire to work in fashion all the more intense !!

So that's all for now, I've got to get back to studying for my finals! Have a wonderful week :)

Kate Sylvester

Okay, so I won't bother going on and on about my nearly 2 month absence on this little blog as my excuses are merely that, excuses. The point is I'm back until I get distracted again (which hopefully doesn't happen.)

Today I bring you a lookbook from Kate Sylvester. Now I do find this campaign a bit strange as there's a lot of sexual dominance happening. I believe the theme was sexual harassment in the workforce. But if you look past that, the collection and design is pretty snazzy. I especially love all those sheer tights with simplistic, eye-catching details. The collection as a whole pays close attention to detail, be it in the way a collar sits on blouses and coats or the manner of knotting rope in some pieces. I like the idea of using rope in clothing, it's something I'd like to try exploring.

Let me know how you'd go about experimenting with rope.

Sass and Bide A/W 2012, "Seekerstate"

Okay so I know this is a very, VERY picture heavy post (understatement) but just looooook at all those beautiful clothes! These are a few most of the images from Sass and Bides A/W 2012 lookbook called "Seekerstate." I want every jacket and every pair of pants featured in all of the above. Dream on, I know, but dream I will! Everything is just so colourful and exuberant, even the black and whites. I especially like the forest and woodland in the background. Nature is usually the signpost of spring and summer campaigns but those brazen rays of sunlight filtering awkwardly through the canopy have me thinking of crisp, autumn and winter mornings, golden and hurried.
