Wishful thinking: Inspiration Post #1

Do you ever get to the stage of reading whats seems like millions of fashion blogs, magazines, viewing photo galleries, mood boards...the list goes on...and still you have NOTHING to blog about?

It seems strange being so immersed in the creative world of clothing yet so removed from updating you last blog post.
Writers block, you are a divil!

So instead of resigning myself from the blogging world, I have taken the initiative to do a bit of an inspiration post/lust list update.

Low and behold, my new found fancies:

I know I have posted this beauty before, but alas I would be homeless if I was to take the plunge and by it...rent comes first! (ASOS)

In love with all neck pieces, bejeweled and chunky. This one vintage Chanel...I can dream

Loving the new tribal inspired lines of the moment, toughened with black biker jacket yet a romantic touch with a rose cropped shirt (Nastygal)

Turquoise stones pop on a nude, minimalistic palette - I'm hooked (Nastygal)

Layering bracelets is so refreshing and with an array of colours as featured on Aimee Song's arm, brighten up any dark outfits

I actually have this pink jumper (Zara) and coincidently I wore it last week upon starting my new course with black disco pants, my hair in a top know, somewhat similar to Chiara Ferragni (lookbook.nu)

I have just embarked upon a fashion styling course with LA Make Up Academy here in Dublin.

I am so excited about it and so far so good it is exceeding my expectations.

Watch this space for regular updates, photoshoots and styling.

Also, my main inspiration boards can be found here on Pinterest, follow me if you like what you see!

Under the Sea

His royal highness, Karl Lagerfeld presented the Chanel Spring Summer 2012 collection last night in Paris. The highlight for most at Paris Fashion Week, and it is no wonder why.
The spectacular runway show incorporated an underwater theme with the stage emblazoned in giant oyster shells and underwater features.

The clothes, one might say, are a dream.
Utterly classic with a modern contemporary twist makes the line very wearable yet it screams signature Chanel in a very subtle manner.
Covering a multitude of styles from sports luxe, classic tweeds, leather shorts and angelic swimwear to dreamy chiffon dresses, elfin-like materials and sumptuous colour the line really does concur with something for everyone.

I love how classic cream dresses and suits in simple cuts with signature pearl embellishment is suddenly contrasted with multi-colored soft sequined scalloped dresses, then insert flamingo skirts with soft modern-take military jackets (loving turquoise and salmon colour combination!) and nude leather shorts with oversized cardi's (a fresh, lighter take on androgyny of this season).

All I can say is WOW!
I am pretty mesmerized by this line (can't you tell??) and it's nude and pastel palette as a whole really adheres to my style ideals.
Also the line of models was genius, I'm a big fan.
Add Florence Welch singing in a giant-sized oyster shell and hey presto, magic!
Props to my man Karl!

Aristocratic nomad

Ad campaigns excite me so much...anticipating the new campaigns of the elite fashion houses for the season ahead takes me on far off adventures to outlandish destinations!

Revealing the new Chanel campaign for the new season: Arab princess meets English gentry (in my opinion!)

An odd combination by any comparison - it is absolutely brilliant!

Heavily adorned embellished jewels laden on a base of cream tweed, pearls and rich gems layered on navy velvet, and linen turban-like head bands teemed with jewel toned silks, the combinations...ils sont magnifique!

Chanel - J'adore!

With mastermind himself, Karl Lagerfeld photographing the beautiful Alejandra Alonsa, this campaign takes you on a special other-realm, unworldly journey.

I also love love love the authentic make-up look, it's gorgeous.

Tell me what you think!

'You know you love me...ex-oh-ex-oh'

So needless to say, the season finale of Gossip Girl was nothing less than epic. Being without les beaux garcons and the hot babes for less than two weeks now, I am self-admittedly suffering from withdrawal symptoms. No weekly fashion fix from the streets of the Upper East Side, no Lonely Boy or Nate to day dream about, just… the most hanging of cliff hangers, left unresolved until next autumn. The suspense is torturous!

I have opted for my daily dose of GG by taking a look at Blake Lively’s (aka Serena) style over the years since she shot to fame on the show.

I adore her risqué, carefree yet glamorous style and these are some of my favourite pics of the darling who is Karl Lagerfeld’s new Bessie Mate, face of Chanel, and an overall HOT BABE!

From surfer chic to haute couture, this lady knows how to put her best red-soled foot forward.

Enjoy!
