three hearts

it's pretty clear that i enjoy a high waisted skirt and a graphic tee so here are three versions that create an ideal outfit just by adding three amazing accessories. we have a sass and bide tee with an etro skirt, a luella fox tee with a see by chloe skirt and a sass and bide heart tee with my topshop nautical skirt. my key accessories are a studded etro gladiators and vest, plus a mulberry roxanne. perfect summer looks.

afternoon in paris

i love topshop but until they open one up here in canada i won't be shopping there, although i here a shop in new york isn't far off. the uk pound is just too strong to make getting the clothes online worth it so instead i can put topshop outfits together on polyvore.com. here's a look inspired by paris and how those french girls look so effortless. i'm channeling lou doillon.

blair and serena paper dolls

i've been noticing these cute clothing collages on various fashion blog sites and they lead me to this site polyvore.com. it's a site were you can upload or use their images to put together fashion ideas or inspiration boards and then post them online. on the site itself people can comment and rate your collages. now, i don't really know how to use it but i was messing around and i created these two looks for my fav gossip girls to wear for the holidays. i went with a common metallic theme but taylored it to they're different styles. the pink and gold outfit is for blair as it's more girly and lux. while the denim look is for bohemian serena. though i like both looks, personally i prefer the serena look. check out the site it's fun.

tear, cut, paste

i love making scrap books. i make them for vacation photos, as a diary and for fashion ideas. i create fashion scrapbooks by tearing pictures i find inspiring out of magazines. they could be specific items i love, styling ideas, cool photo shoots, designer information etc. it's something i have been doing since i was in high school and considering i buy at least 2-3 magazines a week i've collected a lot of tears. once i cut out the part of the magazine pages i want to keep i organize them into categories like dresses, handbags, outfits, beauty, it girls etc. there are specific girls whose style i always admire. they are kate moss, sienna miller, keira knightley, rachel bilson and kirsten dunst. these girls get whole pages just for them. the most tedious parts are the trimming of the photos but it's worth it to have a collection of images you can turn to for instant inspiration. plus, it allows me to recycle my magazines instead of holding on to them all because there's a cute dress on page 136. after i'm done pasting the pics in my books i like to write blurbs about what made me tear out the pics in the first place. unfortunately i usually don't get that far as it's too time consuming. below are some examples of pages from my scrap books. my diary scrapbook is a little different. in it i put tears about travel, beauty, decor, music, books etc. as well as blurbs about what's going on in my life. below are two examples of pictures from my diary. the first is an example of a roman wedding band. it is exactly what i want if i get married. the second is a cute pic of two of my fav. actors alexis bledel and milo ventimiglia that i included when i wrote about the demise of their relationship.
