Headpiece DIY inspiration

Friday I'm in love

I'm glad to tell you guys I finally got a pair of Doc Martens for a reasonable price from a second hand store in France, so I hope you understand I virtually can't wait until this sunny rather-warm September days go off and serious cold and rain make their appearance. Until then, here is some quality street style inspiration. Enjoy!

Elie Saab ready-to-wear collection 2012

PICS FROM STYLE.COM, COLLAGES BY ME.

I'd trade my soul for any of these dresses without hesitation.

Dude, too much perfection for being real.

blog loving

 So basically I'm dying for every piece of stuff that Jane Aldridge wears in these pics from her personal blog. Get inspired at Sea of Shoes.

Photos from style.com, collages by me.

These pics are from the Chanel Resort collection 2013. The outfits are not exactly my style, but one little detail about them is what caught my eye: Chanel, the exclusive couture house synonym of elegance and distinction, is wearing nothing but brothel creepers. And yes, by creepers I mean those same shoes that urban tribes such as punks, skas, gothicks or greasers have been wearing since the 50s and 60s, and that are having their moment of glory right now on streetstyle sites such as Lookbook.nu. 

This facts reminds me of one thing my mother always says and that until the moment I saw these photos never really made any sense to me, and it is that fashion works this way: great designers get the trends from real people and the high street and adapt them to their collections, not the other way round. You see, mothers are always right.

DIY neon necklace

So the other day I randomly discovered that perfection does exist, and that it has necklace shape.

 These beauties have been created by the always great Tom Binns (whose web page is this one) and are worth between 750$ and 2000$. However, if your golden visa is not working properly today, or the butler has left to hand-wash the Rolls so you can't make it to the nearest luxury store, then I have good news for you: the internet is full of intelligent and creative people who have made incredibly good-looking DIYs, so go take your Bvlgari diamond necklace (or buy a really cheap one on Primark, as I will) and get down to work!
P.D.: as I'm seeing on the internet, it works both if you use nail polish or spray paint, but they always recommend to apply a layer of white paint in the first place.

see you someday

 I find the 20's so so inspiring. Anyone?

keep it casual

 To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Elegance is fairly thought to consist on dressing well, but I would go further and say that it is a combination of both wearing good clothes and making your look go unnoticed.

With her lazy Sunday hair and effortlessly well combined clothes, she makes being beautiful look easy, like if she wasn't really trying. That's why she's such a daily inspiration to me.

Rumi Neely

For her words you will recognize her:

"My outlook has always been that people in the streets aren't dressing to please me, why should I take them into account when dressing myself? Playing with clothes is one of the most basic pleasures in life along with other stupid crap like peeling nail polish off in single sheets, crawling into a sun warmed car, and laughing about nothing and everything. If I were to die tomorrow I would be glad that I wore a slightly inappropriate coat and five inch heels to a desert train station in the middle of the day. You know what I mean?"
