ILOVECOLORS

Song:  Cansei De Ser Sexy - This Month, Day 10

Tights used in video: scarlet (microfiber), violet (microfiber), jagged tights, splash metallic tights

So a while ago I was given some tights from WE LOVE COLORS ... absolutely LOVE their selection of colors it's actually pretty amazing the vibrancy of theses babies!!

So I made this little stop motion video out of the tights (listed under video)... the color was too amazing I had to figure out some way to make a color collage so I came up with the little video!
You can also find out more about WELOVE COLORS on their facebook and twitter!

FINALLY!! I was able to wear this absolutely fab romper by Under.ligne. Been waiting for the weather to change (of course) to wear it. 

It's Made out of the most comfy fabric ever!! absolutely Gorge! I was so comfy all day :D

Another thing I was impressed by, other than her clothing, was the presentation of Doo.Ri's lookbook! I'm loving the way it's so clean and simple and has the feel of being like an artists sketchbook... totally down my alley! (see look book here)
What can I say? I was inspired as you can see ... :)

Interview in French Public Magazine. Special thanks to Marine! :)

Cardigan: Hellz Bellz

I love Hellz Bellz not only are their clothes awesome but I love their whole aesthetic and graphic imagery not just on their tees but also the design of their website/blog (They inspired me to do the gif this way).

Also I'm so loving the fact that their video short for their new collection “Hellz Hath No fury” is a chic fight hahaha....it's so them!!

If you haven't noticed already I am an avid lover of all types of design one of which is graphics and I think that's what drew me in first about Hellz, Lanie your the best!!!

(sorry for the re-post, there was a spelling mistake and it was driving me mad)

Although with vintage clog/mules I find a few of them don't have any padding and I can see these bad boys hurting after a long day so I may have to take them to a shoe genius and have padding put in them... lets see!

I'm absolutely loving this massive overgrown vintage bag/clutch, I bought it last Sunday when I met up with the lovely Jasmin (Friend in Fashion) from Australia, and I showed her around Brooklyn and all my favorite food and vintage stores!! LOVE Sundays with Aussies !!

Jasmin took the last picture of me while I was rummaging through a rack of shorts, strange really as it is still not short weather ... seriously considering moving to LA!! Oh Well!!

Happy Friday!!

But seeing as we are on the subject of cameras a lot of you have been asking which one I use, it's a LUMIX DMC-TZ5. Simple digital snap shot that I edit afterwards in PhotoShop.

SUNDAY SKETCH

Song by Goldfrapp: Satin Chic

Don't you just love Sundays? I do. I feel so relaxed... no pressure to get anything done, perfect sketch time, Brunchtime and also it's the day I know my family will Call/Skype me from England so that always makes me Happy :)

So this is a quick glimpse into a bit of my sketchbook!

Can't do anything without one of these, it's where I write/draw my ideas!

See a another video I created a while back of me sketching here.

I like to do stop motion videos a lot... mostly because my camera is a snap shot and cannot handle good quality video... and plus I like the look!  like this one I did a while back here.

Also you can see more of my fashion sketches in the SKETCH BOOK section in the side panel! >>>

Have a great Sunday!!

I'm a procrastinator.... everyone is at some point right?? Please tell me that you are!! would make me feel so much better!!!

I have so much work to do at the moment (don't get me wrong I love designing) but sometimes I get "design block".. I was speaking with Nicole about this the other day... and basically we both agree that sometimes you just have to take a day and do something completely different, take your mind off of what you have to do. Clear your bloody head and come back the next day refreshed and the designing will just flow (well that's normally the plan anyway)... is that just us or do some of you guys feel that way too?

Also speaking of the talented one, Nicole did this awesome illustrated spread with Chicmuse, Stylescrapbook and myself - see it here.

Also see my interview on Jenni's blog here.

I didn't even have to think I was like HELL YES!! I love the shoulder cut outs and I'm always a fan of light weight jersey...

Arm Jewelry: Armor

Elephant Necklace: Corvus Noir (Artists + Fleas Market)

Other Jewelry: Mix of Vintage/H&M/Markets

So last night was the Rocawear Sales party (that's where I work) and these photos were taken on the way home...

I was already wearing this cheapo long dress all day with my new elephant necklace from the awesome Lauren and Craig behind Corvus Noir (you can see the shop here or visit them at the artists and fleas market in Williamsburg).... if you follow me on twitter you would've have already seen it...but if you didn't, see here... isn't it fab?

But then that day at work a package arrived from Sandee (Armor) with the arm jewelry (this piece is called cavea) and so of course I added it to my outfit straight away... can't resist the Jewelry!!!
