36 STRATAGEMS

Ring Horned Student Liberty

STUDENT LIBERTY MINIMALISM

   

My room is a agglomeration of mess!.... a mound of clothes thrusting against my wardrobe doors, I have never been one for neatly picking out an outfit the night before and having it ironed and neatly folded ready to be worn for the next day, the only time I have ever done this, was for my first day at high school! The most prep I have ever done since then is, is to subconsciously imagine a rough guide to what I could wear. the night before, The trouble is some of them items I imagine don't live in my wardrobe but are neatly hanging in some boutique or department store. 

Anyhow these photo's taken by Gianni Mosella are called slug passion and the rooms have a curiously scrambled expressive charm to it, evidently this room is not spic and span, but has a ambience of liberty and filled with free spirited expression. My room looks nothing like this! when its a mess, it is simply a mess and nothing more! no expression of liberty just an expression of dishevelled disorder, sadly.  

  

JENNIFER BEHR HEADBAND HORRIPILATION

Some of you may already be aware of Jennifer Behr's previous accessories collections,  her signature headbands have been worn + adorned plenty by Gossip Girl Blair Waldorf and her collection has a healthy dose of studs gems spikes and other tasty embellishments. Her bridal collection would on the nose add a touch glint and glamour to the day. 

I unequivocally have botheration wearing headbands, as to plenty of the time, my hair lacks volume and planting a headband on top would just seem I've suppressed my hair to thin vermicelli, but I would still smack my lips together and snap up these hair couture chandeliers.    

This 23-karat gold-plated silver ring set from Maison Martin Margiela will give all your urban looks an Acapulco gold directional twist. Wear them across your fingers for a nod to the avant-garde. Or hint hint to your other half, Feb 14th not long away!! To the price of £185 valentine pounds. mmmmh would have to skip the dinner + the chocolates + flowers.

Infelicitous What Not

INKHORNISM B&W

This is quite possible the most slap dash intermixed post, because individually  I had all these random photos in all four corners in my folders on my laptop, which needed boshing together......feels like I lightened the clutter!

Backstage Smiles + Delubrum

GREY GOOSE & WEDGES 
One of the few rounds I do online is often visit Fashion photography extraordinaire's blog by Sony Vandevelde! presenting us all the glimpses behind the scenes, and a scoop full of new collections in its natural backstage form, I every so often, don't embargo a same feel of an outfit just via looking over the catwalk photos. The photo's Sonny captures behind the scenes, brings out a more personal aura of an outfit and focuses more on the personality of models whom are often seen smiling backstage, providing energy to the photos and letting the personalities of the models shine through.

Sonny himself is a European-born, Sydney-raised photographer. Fed up with the unimaginative “tunnel vision” of his photography instructors, he dropped out of college and learned his craft his own way. And hasn't he just!

+ WEDGES 

ACNE AW 10/11 - MINIMARKET AW 10/11 - CARINE WESTER AW 10/11

A lot of the Swedish labels consistently develop some excellent shoes to kudize their collections each season, especially the likes of Acne and Minimarket. Most of the shoes they produce, like the Acne Atacoma wedge and Minimarket zipper wedge, end up becoming highly sought after on an international scale. I'm sure the shoes above will continue with this trend.

+ GREY GOOSE CHEAP MONDAY

There has always been one fixe I have never got around to doing! and that is colouring my hair white! I have always wanted my hair plantinum blonde white, a medium short choppy white haircut. I have practically changed my hair to every other colour besides white, but I have never got round to changing it white simply because it will likely will not mesh well with my skin colour. I have a caramel skin tone and dark black eyebrows and in the end could end up looking like a crazy old scientist or just simple colour dye done at home, gone complexly wrong......but maybe one of these days when I have a larger collection of hat wear I might take the leap! 

I have dyed my hair to gray against black in a bob before, but not as funkdafied as the Cheap Monday collection presented below. showing the many hues of grey hair with the splash of black and white, One of the more trends seen outside and inside the shows.

The head scarves look fantubular in this editorial, along with the high bouffant hair, no matter how I wear a head scarf it always looks outre ridiculous due to having a smallish sized head. Maybe I'll give the bouffant hair a go, but somehow I don't think it'll make any spectacular difference.
