Weekend Beach Outfit

Here is an adorable outfit that you can quickly pull together before you head out to the beach with your friends. It's simple and sweet with a pop of colour. This pastel is simply lovely and is quite popular this season. Platform wedges are also extremely trendy. They are super comfy and chic. Add a splash of colour with a cute iPhone case with a tribal pattern.

Lana Del Rey Lady Inspiration

 

Lana Del Rey has become one of my newest obsessions. She is absolutely stunning and, let's just say it, flawless. I love her hair, lips and defined cat eyes. She makes me want to travel back to the 1960's and befriend Twiggy. Or better yet, I can befriend Lana Del Rey. Here is a inspiration style palette I have put together with her lady-like stature.

As spring is coming closer, we are all looking into our closets to find the perfect pastels that would reflect the hopefully warm weather. Say hasta la vista to those dull blacks and greys (unless they are accents) and open your arms to an assortment of beautiful and whimsical fresh colours that remind you of candy land. Don't be afraid to throw in some sparkles as well, as they are a big hit this season. Take for example the iPhone case below- it has a great selection of pink colours that are matched perfectly with an intriguing and sparkles! If you click on the image below you can actually customize this iPhone case to be unique to you with associated company Zazzle.com!

In your wardrobe however, perfectly balance your colours with some solid staples such as white, beige or even a light brown. This spring should be all about airy and lightness, and these pink hues are perfect for just that!

Boyfriend blazers have definitely been a staple fashion piece for a while, but why not spice things up a bit with a huge splash of colour? Make the blazer your feature piece of your outfit and tone down your other colours to a minimum- white for example. Or take a simple outfit and add a splash of colour by throwing a gorgeous pink bag over your shoulder. Never forget to accessorize with the just the right amount!

summer wishes are just around the corner and here are some absolutely stunning images to spark your inspiration. Pair pastels with bold accessories or girly fabrics such as lace. Avoid black, as always except if they are your sunglasses. Even then, brown would obviously be a better choice.Those sunny summer days and steamy nights are calling our names!

A Little Fairy Dust

When things get dreary, we turn towards things that make us happy and cheerful. We all have our own security blankets that make us warm and fuzzy inside. For me, its fairy tales and sparkles. Things that shine and are brilliant. Things that reflect in the sun or would be found in my own make believe world. These things make you dream, inspire you and are absolutely stunning with their intricacies. Below are some sparkling iPhone and Blackberry cases that you can completely customize to suit your own fantasies. Simply click on the image to do so. Further below are some stunning images that are full of excitement and fairy dust.

Vogue Paris Feb 2012 Kendra Spears

Kendra Spears looks devilishly delightful in this spread for the February issue of Vogue Paris. Although you can get lost in her sexy pouts and steamy poses, recognize the power of layering. This shoot shows us how to layer pieces of jewelry elegantly, with almost a gypsy spin. In each photo the jewelry comes together seamlessly without being too overpowering.

cutout sweaters. make a statement?

Yesterday, I made the trip to Toronto to attend my SECOND (woo) fashion class of this Fall Term. Although I love London, and the people who have made the past two years of my life extremely enjoyable, Toronto seems to give me the right 'snug' fit that I needed with respect to fashion. My profs are amazing and are unbelievably talented, my classmates are the next designers, models and personal shoppers in an elite Torontonian group, and the buzz around campus is absolutely breathtaking. There is always something happening, no matter what time of night. 
The one thing that I love about Toronto and in particular, my classes, is that fashion NEVER sleeps. literally. I have personally witnessed five inch heels walk into a night classroom; which the duration is three hours. I have counted endless designer handbags and spotted even more labels on sunglasses. No one looks un-put-together. And if they do, you can sure as hell bet they did it on purpose. 
My course outline is like reading a letter saying that you have won the lottery. Yes, Fashion magazines are my required textbooks. 


My first assignment is to spot new fall trends while in a crowded area. 
Just so everyone knows, I am in love. 


Here is one piece of clothing that I've noticed I hope catches on, because I intend to sport a similar look at somepoint in the near future. A sweater similar to the ones below was worn by a classmate who was sitting infront of me, and I fell in love with it instantly.
