Friday's Outfit

Apologies for the posing, having a fat day(week):

Stunning windy day outside...

Trigger Happy

Topshop have plugged into an awesome idea - a perfect marriage between art and fashion.

By installing a "Helmut Newton Photo Machine" in their Oxford Circus store, allowing shoppers to play with a selection of clothes and accessories and then unleashing them for their own photoshoot, punters apply their own individual stamp to the topshop range and bring about a pure(r) visual expression by virtue of a closer link between the subject and the camera.

A pretty easy setup to replicate at home too methinks.

My favourites so far:

Leather and Pearls...

Planned outfit. Later ditched the belt and added a leather jacket instead with some brown oxford heels.

Today's Inspiration: Velvety Silk

I've been meaning to post these pictures up for a while. Pictures from one of my favourite illustrators when I was a young 'un. I love the rich velvety hues and adventurous use of colour.







I shall be pinching the idea of large white collars and frills, and perhaps the head scarves for a slightly gypsy take on these vibrant colours.

These illustrations remind me of Jayson Brunsdon's designs, particularly his SS07/08 collection which takes a modern cleancut approach:

Food Highlights

Cause I'm hungry, time to post some photos of a favourite patisserie. The place is so relaxed and chic, and for $5 you can transport yourself to France for a short while. The pear danish is highly recommended.

Outfits this past week

Some of these are fairly dark I know, this week's aim is to inject some colour and whimsy into my outfits. Apologies for the dusty mirror.
