hi i am sleepy

but i have vowed to post something everyday...and i had a great day at work, so here are three purdy things...i like things in threes

i want this jacket, i didn't properly categorize this...i think it was Matthew Williamson. speaking of which, i need to check out his ENTIRE line for H&M, i want something from it, even though its pricey. so springy and colourful and funky fresh fun
and MORE lovely.....

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress (More threeeeees weee!) erin featherson and oh so flowy and i love the flowers, abstract but small enough for details, this will be so cute with gladiators (BUT not tacky high silver ones like i saw on this girl on 14th street this evening, TACKYYYYYYY and didn't even match her outfit, thus ruining a sweet little pink delicate sundress....but yeah) or nude pumps/heeled strappy sandals.....oh spring/summer come hither with your colour and wispy winds

and here's a cool inspiring pic i found on one of my massive google image searches, this was after i was invited to a beatnik party and needed inspiration for my outfit, i found some funky vintagey images...here's one.

i heart her outfit, the effortless audrey hepburn chicness of it all...and thats its like patio bar, with the suited handsome men behind her. i love the way she is sitting, so spring casual. inspiration for the next month for us all.....

volumous texture, contrasting pattern

the garment get-up du jour

i am a girl who can't say no to black&white, especially in stripes. the draping is impeccablable-slightly off the shoulder but the volume isn't swallowing her up-its in balance. the swirly skirt is great for fall with the slouchy boots or some fierce heels. gloves are so lady-like and yet so goth here. yum.

the jacket is sporty but not too much so, its shape&colour -blocking&quilting make it unique, grey is so now

a delicate but modern Lanvin flower brooch, to add to the blouse, more brooches the merrier.

aged black leather-rugged, yet elegantly antiqued "doctor's bag" purse, love the shape&hardware

allesandro del'acqua double ankle strapped pumps, delicious, i can never say to no to things this man conjurs. for a night out on the town, these shoes are very sensual, and i love love love the colour combo....
or really the thigh high boots the model was originally wearing would be hot too, if it wear say raining or snowing...

i am getting my fall state of mind back, slowly

Chloe controversy?

making the dream very attractive.
perhaps too attractive?

Fashionista and Fashion Addict have said their peace on this but i thought i'd throw in my two cents. Apparently my *beloved* H&M ripped off my *inspirational* Chloe for their Fall ad campaign.
The vid is behind-the-scenes at the Hotel Particular in Paris during the youthful Chloe shoot with Freja, Shalom and Anja.

Since I first saw the Chloe ad in Vogue, i've wanted Anja's to-die-for bob cut&coulour (and the "Vitamin" dress haha). Then picked up H&M magazine a few weeks ago, first oogled over Freja in Rome layouts (its brillant and oh so mod!) and then saw Anja's hair again, of course fell in love again. This video shows how she get her cut on the set of the campaign (i love!). As a fashion mag addict, and a bit overstimulated by style.com's instant gratification, I didn't even notice how the photos, models, stark backgrounds (and style of dresses-but that is expected-its what H&M does best) were so similiar, maybe in fact alarmingly identical. Chloe's garments are obviously higher fashion-more extraordinary, so beautiful and very mod. The model choices were a perfect (love when Shalom is in real fashion ads-she is such a unique model-, not Tiffany *puke*), the locale was so structural next to the bold colours of those dresses. H&M saw a perfect idea, decided to copy it and figured who's gonna stop us? this is perhaps crossing into a new line of fashion copyrights faux pas. obviously no legal action has begun and it is only controversy amound the fashion inclined, but what do you think?

Printed Perfection

after all my ranting about prints in contrast to bold solid colours

snippets of Eley Kishimoto's fall show
vintage-y, graphic, 70s prints in great moden cuts
why has springcome & gone so quickly? i do love the mix of fall and summer in that which is spring.
flowy, sleeveless, shorter, less layers in those deeper shades mixed with pale
