Weekend Inspiration

Finally the weekend is here! After a stressful week of uni & assignments I can finally relax.  It's a beautiful sunny Sydney spring day. Ooo that's alliteration :) The last couple of days I've really been into the luxe hippy/boho look - tie dye, bangles, turquoise stone jewellery, long flowing maxi dresses & skirts, loose linen pants, & flowing hair. I'm really trying to move away from the all-black look and going for something more casual. This spring/summer is all about understated glamour for me.

My fav inspirational pics/clips of the moment:

Can't get enough of Florence + The Machine's "Dog Days Are Over"

Drew Barrymore in Harper's Bazaar US October 2010 issue

Doesn't she look fabulous! That dress has such a 70s vibe.

Loving this boho skirt

Hermes - even they are into the luxe hippy look

Can't get enough of Frassy's boho look

Fashion Gone Rogue

I'm one of those people who is hardly seen out of a black outfit. Firstly, because I find black clothes are perfect for easily creating a sophisticated look . And secondly, because I find they are easier to look after and wash. I like mixing different textures of black or combining a black outfit with a cream bag and/or scarf, gold or silver jewellery and occasionally a brightly coloured pair of shoes - usually hot pink. Although, I'm not incredibly keen on red in a big way for outfits, I do love red lips, nails, silk scarfs etc. Like black, red can be a very sophisticated colour. Red lips are particularly feminine and classic. I do have a bit of an obsession with the colour when it comes to buying non-clothing items. I love my red VW Golf (aka the little red rocket), coffee mugs, laptop case and I even find myself buying food that is packaged in red. It's such a passionate and dramatic colour, that can't go unnoticed. Hmmm, I wonder what that says about me? A slight attention seeker perhaps....  As for the shoot, Dree Hemingway is quickly becoming a favourite model of mine. Although, she first caught my attention because she is the great-grandaughter of Ernest Hemingway (who I greatly admire for his work), there is definitely something very interesting about her as an individual. Expect a post on her later on in the month.
