craft me Rodarte

2011-02-16T13:20:00.002+00:00

It's New York fashion week.....Rodarte AW 2011

Oh Rodarte...I looooove the colours of this collection with the soft beiges,creams with a few navy and baby blues chucked in, Rodarte have had a clear influence from the Arts and Craft movement with the lovely embroidery, I'm sure we will see this in the high-street soon but my Topshop embroidery dress will not be a touch on the craftsmanship of this beautiful collection by sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy.

The collection also seeps a 1910/1920 feel which just goes perfectly with the crocheting and embroidery of the collection. Doily lovers eat your heart out.

2011-02-13T23:54:00.001+00:00

Fashion is the most powerful art there is. It's movement, design and architecture all in one. It shows the world who we are and who we'd like to be

Quote from gossip girl - blair wardolf, but I don't care......it's soooooo true!!!

let's get 80's!

2011-02-13T22:42:00.001+00:00

These are a few of the un-edited photos from my photoshoot. This was my first ever photoshoot, and was sooooo scary but I think the pictures look amazing! I had to style, direct and take the photos, with the lovely help from my pal Jessy, who was my model :)

max it out

I've been lurking on the ASOS website to find some great maxi dresses that will see you through this season of 70'sinspiration, also not forgetting a few electric blue and tangerine pieces which goes into another key SS11 trend, all at prices that even a poor student like me can afford. It may be high street but the 70's feel is there just as much as the designer collections, long floaty floral fabrics, with long batwing sleeves that will flow in a summers breeze.

Lipsy at ASOS £62

ASOS £42

ASOS £45

My favourite <3 ASOS £50

Another favourite ASOS £65

bow bow hat...have you any more?

2011-02-02T01:41:00.000+00:00

So the 70's is a clear inspiration for SS11 from the latest collections shown at the fashion weeks, I'm glad we are going to be smothered In 70's floaty floral fabrics over the summer, personally I won't be wearing the maxi dress this summer, like many previous summers due to being 5ft3 and unable to walk in wedges (yes i know, well actually I haven't tried but judging from heels I know it just isn't going to happen, glads see me through the summer just fine :) ), but I can still find some designer and high street pieces to fall in love with and share.

You might be wondering about the title of this post and how it relates to what I'm babbling on about...well I thought I would share with you one of my favourite 70's inspired collection this summer which is the Marc Jacobs one.

I think this is one of the best collections I have seen for this trend, his done a great job on putting his own stamp on the 70's and oh my he was gave us many many bows, bows, bows and hats in this collection which all work wonderfully, also not forgetting the clear 'Missoni' feel to some pieces....zig zag prints mmmmm <3

here are a few of my favourites, but please do check out the full collection It won't disappoint

Personal Styling Day

2011-01-31T14:35:00.000+00:00

For part of my Imaging and Styling project at uni we are learning about styling, and for this part we had to take a coursemate out shopping and find them an outfit they would usually wear and an outfit they wouldn't usually wear.

I restyled Milliam, her usual style is a very classic simple one; she wears alot of jeans, jumpers, blazers and boots. This is the outfit she wore on our shopping trip.

This is the first outfit I picked for Milliam, this is what I thought she would usually go for. I got this whole outfit from H&M, I picked some skinny jeans in a dark colour which I thought would look really great on her figure and I knew she would like them because she lives in jeans. I then picked the blazer, she doesn't usually wear grey so I thought I'd introduce her to this colour, I also really loved the brown elbow pads. To bring the look together I picked out a blue and white stripy top, I thought this outfit worked really well.

For the second outfit I picked it was something I thought Milliam wouldn't usually wear again I got this outfit from H&M. I wanted to pick something completely different, and if I'm honest I did kinda pick something I would usually wear, which I know I shouldn't have. I went for bright summery colours that Milliam would never wear I also put her in a skirt which she never wears as she doesn't like showing her legs. Milliam didn't really like this outfit she did however like the top but would wear it with jeans instead.

For the next two outfit choices I went to New Look, this is one of my least favourite shops but Milliam likes this shop so it was a good choice.

For the first outfit, which was what Milliam usually would wear I again went for a pair of dark skinny jeans and I paired that with a nice orangery shirt with a pussy bow colour.

For the last outfit of the day, one Milliam wouldn't usually wear I did actually pick something I personally wouldn't wear but I thought would look great on her figure. I picked out this blue shorts and this light pink blouse, Mlliam doesn't usually wear baggy tops but I thought this top looked great with the shorts and as she has her legs out, the less revealing top works well with the shorts. Milliam did actually like the shorts but said she'd wear a tighter top with them.

Black Swan

2011-01-30T00:19:00.001+00:00

This week I went to see 'Black Swan' which I must say is one of the most amazing films I have seen, such a clever, incising storyline. Its a thriller about the rivalry of two ballerinas and how getting the role of a lifetime literally takes over you until you become the role. One of the things I was most looking forward to was the costume designs, and oh they were amazing so extravagant but in a simple way. The costume designers for 'Black Swan' was created by fashion duo, the Mulleavy Sisters who founded the fashion house 'Rodarte' who lead star Natalie Portman is one of their loyal supporters. They designed 40 costumes for Swan Lake and also all the knitwear and leotards that was used throughout the film.

eightiespiration

2011-01-26T00:41:00.000+00:00

So for one of my projects at uni I have to do a historical fashion shoot; the era I was given was the 80's which to my annoyance is the decade I hate the most. Finding inspiration for my shoot was hard until I came across this Wonderland shoot which featured Liv Tyler in a very simple, elegant 80's photo-shoot, I loved the fact that it had an 80's influence but without the tackiness I oh so hate. The poses in this shoot are really great as you don't see many shoots with these kind of poses.
