Wednesday Love...

Happy birthday Kate Moss..


Pixie Lott..maybe I read the daily mail too much but sometimes she can just look so lovely. Love all the florals around the head.




US Vogue February 2013..What a beautiful image.


These Zara boots..keep seeing them on tumblr and bloggers. I love them. Of course they are not available anymore.



Vogue UK February 2013. "Collective Spirit" editorial. See all the pics here.


John Secada "Just Another Day".. what a one hit wonder. This song is such a guilty pleasure of ours, ha they played it when I was out over the weekend and it was whopper.


Streetstyle inspiration..

Perfection from head to toe.
This lady looks awesome.


The Old Mill Stores...I really want to visit this gem of a shop in Cork which I found on facebook so I can buy things to make my future house look like this (click here!)

photos from ..tumblr, daily mail & stockholm streetstyle.

Silver Lining...

Carmen Dell'orefice was on T.V. this morning speaking about her career , hanging with Dali and dishing the dirt on how she looks so good at 80. And by dirt I mean telling us all things that we don't want to hear. Eat well, be active, no booze, no smoking etc etc.
There is an retrospective exhibition of her career in the London College of Fashion to celebrate her career and her recent 80th birthday. Curated by fashion illustrator and friend David Downton, the exhibition showcases her high points from her personal archives, including unseen shots.

There are literally hundreds of amazing photos that I could have posted here...

Vogue.

So a couple of weeks ago I hit jackpot in the skips outside of NCAD. It was raining really heavy and I spotted a familiar sight peeking out from under some paper. Vogue. Bam. Vogue from the 80s,  double bam! In total I found four copies in really good condition (they even had the little free  perfume samples intact) . A couple minutes later and these would have been ruined in the rain,  reduced to a miserable wet pulp. I would like to think of it as fashion fate.

Here are some (dodgy camera phone snaps...soz!) taken of the January '87 issue.
Some of the shoots are amazing, others are so gas they make me want to transport back in time to see if they were ever considered acceptable (see: swimwear shoot re: inappropriately high rising thongs.)


There's herself.




I would happily wear all of this...



All white trend..


See?...



I will sign off with this classic Ad...She looks like a mom from a Hallmark movie..


I will blog the other 3 copies soon , with better quality pics promise! x
