I scoured the Internet for some good Fendi photos. I couldn't find that many.......jk lol. I wanted to show off the genius that IS this collection. It reminds me of Africa. I have no idea why lol. Perhaps its the colors. But Karl outdid himself on this collection I honestly loved the WHOLE damn thing. Right up to the makeup detail.

Jil Sander is my second favorite designer. The collections are always consistent boundary pushing but in the most subtle ways. This collection, for example, was simple and clean-cut, with big statements of bold colors (a re-occurring pattern this season it seems), but it was off-set with subtle undertones of white. Aside from the hair-style and the great use of color, I'd like to point out the amazing footwear. For some of the looks I had to do a double-take for a second to realise that half the boot was in fact two-toned and not just the model's skin color. I felt like the collection was also very 60's/70's inspired. Or maybe I'm just crazy, i don't know. But some looks felt very "funky" with disco-esque boots and large polka-dots.

My third favorite designer is Stella McCartney. She never seizes to amaze me... like ever. Every season her collections get better and better; building off of the previous one. This season, she uses bold, strong colors against lighter tones/shades of white and grey and black. And of course, she employs m favorite look of all: the 'hair-behind-the-ears' look. Which is a look employ on a daily basis.

My all time favorite designer is Chloe. This was by far my favorite collection that SS '13 fashion week had to offer. The whites with small splashes of color here and there with pin-stripes or a touch of flower applique. I thought the whole collection was fucking brilliant, pardon my french.

RUBY

2012-10-19T16:12:00.001-04:00

she is my whole life: there is honestly nothing quite like her style. every look she has is different and versatile. I often find myself flipping through my 'Ruby Aldridge archives' on mornings when i have no idea what to wear and need a little inspiration. This girl's a beauty!

MY LOOKS

2012-10-19T15:40:00.000-04:00

For Fall, I would say these are primarily the looks I've been rocking. I haven't been wearing any plaid skirts but the flats/loafers, boxy knits, trouser pants and trench coats..and lets not forget my signature look: the hair-behind-the-ears. I prefer that hair style to the typical 'middle part'. I think it literally has the ability to transform an entire outfit.

GREEN

2012-10-19T15:10:00.002-04:00

I think out of everything this season the thing I like most is the deep greens that I've been seeing. Its such a bold color, I love it.

Okay soo how many of you remember the fabulous Alexander Wang stud duffle bag from a couple seasons ago?? I wanted it soo bad (obviously who wouldnt) but the original price was, and still is, waaay too expnsive for me sadly :( No worries though I just found THE best alternative!! and Im placing an order for it as I type!

I cant actually copy the image into here but Ill hyperlink it. The site is called Stylenanda (click that and itll take you right to the page the bag is on) and while youre at it you should check out the rest of the site its fab! so many amazing items. Its like Pixie Market sort of but different, but still amaze :)

WOW its been way too long! Tumblr's been taking over my life! Im going to be making some changes to this blog though. Its going to be strictly runway, model streetstyle, and editorials. Basically the way it used to be. Also I dont know whether I should change the header or not, still deciding. Im going to be making a conscious effort to update weekly now, rather than monthly (more like every 5 months).

HELENE SHARP

Photogrpaher, Helene Sharp, from Ottawa. These are her photos. I came across them a couple weeks ago and was quite literally blown away. I asked her a few questions about them. I wanted some insight on where her inspiration comes from. These are her answers:

"When I have my camera with me i'm usually outside being active. the photos I take are of settings I see around town and I just add people to them in my head, usually whoever i'm with at the time. I don't like to stage things too much. I like accidental and natural looking photographs. old fashioned."

"I would love to be a photographer!!! But at the moment I'm going to university for Art Ed. I see photography as a hobby, not a career just yet."

"This sounds really cheesy but when I was a kid my mom got a film camera and would let me waste film on stupid pictures of my stuffed animals or my cats or the family. I still have a photo album of them that my mom kept and they're all god awful. I guess you could say I've always loved photography."

THIS IS WHAT INSPIRES YOU

I never ever do photo collectives; not usually anyway, but I was paying my favorite tumblr a visit today and couldnt help myself. Most of them are from HERS, and some are from my OWN.

Over the years I've been collecting a large amount of images, fashion, music and art related. So much that, I have aquired quite a large folders worth of just images that have inspired me. Thats part of the reason why I felt the need to start my own tumblr. But then again, I think thats really why anyone starts a tumblr. They want to share images with people all over the world. Images that mean something to each person who views them.

Its a random post. The pictures dont have much do with one another. The only thing each of them really does have in common is me. And feelings I get when I look at them.

Its hard to explain, but I feel like you guys get what Im trying to say.

MINIMAL

2011-07-09T16:11:00.003-04:00

This coming Fall will be an extreme shock to my closet thats for sure. This summer has been all about loud, radiant colors and whites instead of blacks, and taking color blocking to a whole other level. Coming out of summer, we will see a dramatic turn, where fashion will take on a more minimalistic approach. Personally I cant f**king wait! Based on what I've seen thus far, Autumn will aquaint our whites with our beiges and rusts. And shift from complex, to just plain and simple.

Russh Mag. for the rest of the looks.

MY MODEL MUSES

It changes every month, and this month, I happen to have my eyes set on Kasia Struss, Ginta Lapina and ofcourse, Dorothea (she will probably always be one of my favorites). Lately I've been seeing so much of Kasia in magasines, even though I know shes been modeling for quite a while now. Her jaw line reminds me a lot of Natasha Poly's; perhaps that is why I like her so much. She also has that effortless beauty, like Natasha, in which the need to wear makeup is not primitive.
