Don't know what colour to wear?

This is crazy amazing... (and a little creepy) 

Pimkie colour forecaster tells you what are the hottest colours being worn in three fashion forward European cities; Antwerp, Paris & Milan. 

How? By scanning through a range of live images and videos and then nailing it down to a single pantone swatch. 

And just incase you don't already own anything in that colour, Pimkie even goes to the trouble of generating an array of fashions in that colour that are available for you to purchase online. 
So thoughtful! 

Check it!

Prada Spring / Summer 2012

Totally loooooving the styling on Prada's current Spring/Summer 2012 advertorial campaign for print. 

It's this whole Über modern, highly polished woman meets rockabilly at the local 50's style gas station - complete with hot rods and all! 

"Bathed in sunlight. Fuelled by optimism.

Girls and cars stop and stare at the future in the technicolour mise-en-scene of desire" 

That's Prada's little sum up of the campaign. Either way it's stunning! 

 I couldn't find who styled it but it was shot by Steven Meisel, I love the use of low angles looking up at these glamours that are so preened you could almost mistake them for mannequins! 

Oh and aren't the shoes with the little flames just to die for...

My new favourite thing!

I stumbled across this website randomly, and I am so glad I did!
If you like things clean and orderly, much like I do - then this website will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Things organized neatly is a tumblr, curated by Indianapolis design student Austen Radcliffe. It is an archive of images of 'things organized neatly'.

Now i'm not OCD and Radcliffe denies being OCD too, but there is something oh so pleasurable about the  order and organization of random items whether it be a flower pulled apart and laid out (yes that means every petal painstakingly removed & then organized!) or simply laying out your outfit for the day along with accessories.

Check out some of these fab images i've found on his tumblr.
And of course head on over to thingsorganizedneatly.tumblr.com  and check it out for yourself, OCD or not I guarantee there will be at least one image you find amusing, if not amazing.

Moi je joue

I adore Sofia Coppola, and everything she does.
This is a little old but it doesn't stop me from loving it! Every time I watch it, it just makes me want to go back to Paris and ride my bike around, be carefree...

P.S
I'll have to admit the hardest part of this post was choosing my favourite pics to match!
As you can tell - for me there can never be enough white in one room!

The Sartorialist

A mecca for style and fashion junkies, The Sartorialist is an amazing and inspiring website run by New Yorker, Scott Schuman.
In short Scott takes his camera on his way through the über fashionable cities of New York, Milan, Paris, London, Stockholm (and the rest) and photographs those on the street who catch his eye with some outrageously 'real' styling. It's sort of a celebration of style, fashion and the guts to wear whatever you like with worldwide recognition in tow. The result is a mish mash of styles and tastes, and a great source for all kinds of inspiration. I guess that's why it was ranked the most influential blog of2009.

I find that the simplicity and the reality of the shots are what really makes it work, It's a form of people watching I guess, I can totally relate to the shots - they're so believable. You could easily slip yourself into the scene- sitting in a cafè in Paris on a sunny Summer day and watching that girl across the street parking her bike in her chic white shift dress and candy coloured heels. It's like that double take, captured to be admired.

The extravagance of some of the ensembles and styling never ceases to amaze me, do people actually get around in these amazing clothes in everyday life? I can honestly say looking at all the photos makes me re-think my own sense of style every single time without a doubt.


Looking at all the pictures really makes me appreciate the layering and the combination's people manage to pull together, sometimes exquisite and other times so very clashed and wrong that it becomes eerily beautiful.

The other great thing about the Sartorialist is that Scott not only features women but also men; in an array of suits and everyday wear. Mixed up and mis-matched in ways you've probably never seen before. I love the endless colour, patterns and texture combinations that men manage to bring out in the formal and informal suits in the photographs.


I've been coming back to the Sartorialist every month or so now for about the last two years and for me the captivation and inspiration hasn't stopped. I still find myself pouring over all the new photographs like I did the very first time.

So all I have left to say is check it out www.thesartorialist.blogspot.com
You won't be disappointed!
