Inspiration of the week...

We went to Venice day before yesterday. Besides all the usual. tourist spots, we also took a stroll trough the little streets and alleys where came across this little jeweler with the most amazing window display. So intricately and yet meticulously laid out.

I could have stood there for hours and hours, continuously discovering something new. Che bella!

Inspiration of the week...

Ladies and Gents I give you: The sweatshirt skirt.

I've seen this done before with a crisp whit men's shirt, but never with a sweatshirt. And that is exactly what I love about this photo. This young lady has taken that initial idea a step further, just beyond the limit of what is "stylish" and what is "out there" and yet it still works.

Are you brave enough to wear your sweats like this?

Inspiration of the week...

My inspiration this week is the beautiful Gabi from Young, Fat and Fabulous, who encourages women of all sizes to not give a rip about the opinions of others and rock that bikini!! Her message: Every body is a bikini body!

I see you baby! Work it!

Inspiration of the week...

I'm not a big Freja fan. I know shock, horror, fashion blasphemy!! lol

But I do love this photo.

Why? Because it inspired me in a very unexpected way. I've been suffering from a lack of inspiration for the past 5 months and just couldn't figure out why. Seeing this image reminded me of why I love fashion. I realized that it's the high fashion, high glam, high gloss, fantasy images of editorials that really inspire me! So although I really enjoy street style and personal style blogs, I miss my magazines.

Inspiration of the week...

So each week I want to share with you the photo that inspired me most in the past week. First up is this photo by Tommy Ton for Style.com.

I just LOVE this outfit: Creating maximum effect with essentially very simple basic pieces by choosing dramatic colors. Bring on the color blocking this spring and summer! And can you see the little leather cord around the waist? Perfection!
