mirrored.

such a great shot by shini from park and cube. these mirrored shades are ones to watch - have seen them cropping up in a couple of shoots over the last month and they just look coooool. particularly nice paired with the reflective surface of what looks like the patent leather + jersey jacket from marni for h&m.. good low-key hair too.

daisy chain.

love these images by maya from 'turned out'.. they remind me of a proper 90s primary school sports day where you'd spend most of your time trying to make the longest daisy chain (in between 3-legged races and games such as 'who can balance the beanbag on their head the longest?' - my favourite). images via turned out. if you haven't already been on it then check it out, full of lovely portraits and really fresh fashion.. bring on the summer - that jacket is callin' my name.

narciso rodriguez ss12 hair.

move over dip-dye and make room for the spacey out-of-shower comb through coloured up-do seen at narciso rodriguez's ss12 show. i know the whole colour-in-hair thing is a bit of a fad but i do actually like it (especially when designers use it in a more innovative way than the blogger-style seen on most 17 year old topshop dressers in the country). there were some cool post-modernist looks happening with the clothes as well - to see the full collection go here. images from here.

cyberella.

not gonna lie, never been a huge fan of dvf nor the printed wrap dress situation that appears in every 'dress for your figure' article in the history of magazines (cue gok wan 'a large floral print hides a whole manner of sins' yadda yadda yaddah...) so... i was bowled over with joy when these looks emerged from von furstenberg's latest s/s12 collection.. they remind me of the whole cyber-barbie thing i mentioned a while ago after seeing abi swann's collection at graduate fashion week. there is definitely still a 'moment' for all thinks sparkly, but to me this is different. it's girly but really, really cool and modern. i'm a girl after philo's clean lines and boyish attitude but something here is speaking to me.. could i be converted?

ponytail.

i've been loving the ponytail for a while now - gyals (and boys) get inspired, get your faces out and stop hiding under your hair.

who's that girl?

need to play catch-up as i've been ill in bed, too ill to blog so have a massive back-log of things to post up! apologies for being neglectful.. anyway this lil' beauty is charlotte free - with img in new york. although short for a model at only 5'7, i think she's gonna be big (excuse the pun and the slightly blurry photo). the girl's got swagger.

faces (continued).

some of these photos are a little blurry (as with a couple of the others from my previous post) but i had to put them up as once again, there's just something about these girls.. there's so much colour around this fashion week which has been so nice to photograph in such dismal weather.  each morning i'm trying to find more cunning ways of hiding even more layers under my coat - tomorrow i'm opting for two pairs of tights under my trousers, and three pairs of socks.

lfw day 1: gorgeous girlie.

this girl was a breath of fresh air at somerset house today.. natural style only comes with feeling totally at home in what you're wearing. absolutely love her short hair/ mottled jacket/ print and flash of magenta - winning combo.

rainbow hair.

it's a bit late in the day to be posting about dip-dyed hair but this really takes my fancy and inspires a very fresh colour palette - especially the candyfloss pink against the teal blue. the original image is of gwyneth tang taken by 'hanneli' last october.

hair (again).

don't know why i'm posting up so much about hair (especially as the wang-inspired braid movement seems to be over) but this 'do' really takes my fancy - think it's to do with the white tones in her hair, it would look amazing with proper old, silver locks.

gold leaf.

trend: there's a big beauty trend with gold at the moment and i'm pretty sure it'll trickle down into clothing very soon.  i really like the rawness of the gold foiling and think it could look really cool on garments - collars and cuffs of shirts, the bottom of jackets etc. gonna try it out for sure.
