500 Days Of Summer...

Tom: What happens when you fall in love?

Summer: You believe in that?

Tom: It's love, not Santa Claus.

These lines are some of my favourite ones from the film 500 Days of Summer. I finally saw the film tonight after much waiting. I liked the plot, the acting, and the soundtrack although I felt it was a little slow paced at some parts. Although I must say Joseph Gorden Levitt is mighty fine lookn'! Do you remember when he was on 3rd Rock from the Sun? Gosh that was so long ago.

The Shopper

Isn't this necklace insane?

Why instead of having the whole world in

your hands, you can have it on your neck!

Designed by Design Glut.

Ohhhhh... its shiny, doubles as a mirror, and feathers!

A combo of three of my favourite things, makes for

a pretty awesome necklace. Kidviskous designed

this beautiful piece.

This simple Victorian inspired key ring was made by

Anne Kiel Jewelry. I could really see myself wearing

this beautiful ring.

I just discovered a really neat website called supermarket. They sell a variety of different designers from all around the world with a large selection of jewelery, accessories, paper products, ect. All the jewelery above is reasonably price, and now I know what website I am going to ask for all my birthday presents to come from!

These Retro Feelings

I really love this retro feeling of the new Teen Vogue editorial shoot. It feels like an updated version of a sock hop complete with a milkshake! When I look at these images it makes me want to put on my flounciest skirt and wear a big bow in my hair, all while listening to some Elvis!

Tumblr

I've Created a Tumblr account (which I know is pretty much like blogger but...) so I can post more of my images and inspiration based things on their. I think I want it to be more of a travel based site. Don't worry, I shall still be blogging away on here too, its just I want to try writing more articles, but I figure Tumblr is better for photographs and what not. Feel free to visit my Tumbler if you want!

Model Citizen

Jalouse magazine. I really love the

sunny colours of this photograph. It

has a very 60's quality to it, but maybe

that is because of the shoes and dress which

the model is wearing look like it could be from that era.

French Vogue. Set in Morocco, this editorial combines

three very different things; the atmosphere of Morocco

with an almost 1950's feeling with the hairstyles and model's wearing

safari jackets. This just proves how sometimes unrelated things

can somehow just go together.

This cool almost kaleidoscope thing going on

in the photograph is what really drew me to

this image. I also loved the colour of the leggings

and shirt which the model is wearing, it is

something which I would wear!

B&W

This image from a 1920's themed editorial in

German Vogue is just smashing! It evokes

everything which one imagines when thinking

about the roaring 20's!

I love the cheekiness to this photograph. At first

glance you imagine its going to be a nice pretty

image but then you notice the model is sticking her

tongue out, which makes it all the better!

I think I've stated several times on this blog that I love black and white images. I've always believed that they are photography in its purist form; after all photography began with B&W images, not color. For my photography class in school we shoot and develop our own rolls of B&W film. It is pretty awesome to be able to experience each step in the process which goes into creating an image and developing it. Sadly B&W photography is a dying art, people think why should I take a roll of film when I can just shoot digital and then change it on photoshop. Personally, I know I shall try to keep practicing this dying art for as long as I can, its just too beautiful to loose.

Inspire Me

This is totally true plus the colours in the photograph

are gorgeous, no?

This dress includes some of my favourite things:
tulle, pale pink, sashes, and fabric flowers. How adorable!

Both of these images are stunning, they invoke a certain

feeling of days gone by, during a forgotten era.

I adore the pale nude/cream tones of the dresses which

both girls are wearing.

As a self professed Harry Potter geek I

love anything which has to do with it, which
means this Bonnie Wright photograph is even

more awesome. Although, even if she wasn't Ginny

I still would love this picture, just because I love

headband which she is sporting. Its totally outrageous

yet, somehow works on her.

I've been enamoured with braids for a long

time now, but I've finally professed my love for them on

this blog. I am trying to grow my hair out long enough

so I can try out this hair trend and I can't wait until its the

right length.

I feel like its time for another inspiration post, its been awhile. It seems to me like I just hoard images which inspire me and they sit in files the computer waiting to be shown on this blog. So enjoy all these images which have recently struck my fancy.
