'Flower Power'
Da nun nahezu jeder Blogger über die H&M Garden Collection berichtet hat werde ich dies nicht tun, so besonders finde ich die ganzen Stücke auf den ersten Blick auch nicht.
Ist auch eine ziemliche Wendung, im Winter noch diese Schwarzen und dunklen Töne, im Frühjahr Flower Power..
Ich mag es, den Wandel.
Aber ich glaube ich steige dann erstmal von meinem grau zwischenzeitlich mal auf creme um, ganz unangepasst will ich ja auch nicht sein. haha
Jedoch habe ich gestern trotzdem eine kleine Bestellung aufgegeben.
Die Hose ist ein kleines Experiment, da ich seit langer Zeit nichts so buntes getragen habe, und Hosen trage ich sowieso nicht oft. Mal schaun wie es aussieht.
Die Shorts aus der Trend Abteilung fande ich schon lange toll und da sie jetzt im Sale sind durf, mal sehen wie sie sich an mir machen.
In die Sonnenbrille habe ich mich sofort verliebt, ich bin ein kleiner Sonnenbrillen Liebhaber und kann davon nicht genug bekommen.

Bat For Lashes - Whats a Girl To Do
My boyfriend and I just got tickets to see Bat For Lashes when they play the Troubadour in October. I love their dreamy, dark melodies and I can't wait to see them. Natasha Khan and her band have an avant-garde, quirky hippie meets Ziggy Stardust style and I'm sure it will be quite the stage show.
When Fashion Meets Film
I recently ran across an article about the greatest fashion captured in movies. That got me thinking about what movies have influenced my way of looking at fashion. Below I offer my very own list of movie fashion infuences. Mind you, I do not in any way consider this a list of the greatest fashion on film, just the ones that have had an impact on me.
First, I should say that I am not a fan of musicals. There are a few exceptions – holdovers from childhood (“Grease” for instance). But I’d sooner blind myself than sit through a showing of, say, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. Musical numbers aside, “Funny Face” has to be one of the greatest fashion films of all times. Audrey Hepburn channeling Suzy Parker, France Sinatra channeling Richard Avedon all the while dressed to the nines in every style imaginable, living in a dreamy mid-century modern world. Thank goodness for the mute button.
After she married Frank and before she got involved with Woody, Mia Farrow donned amazing little dress after amazing little dress all while battling the ultimate evil in “Rosemary’s Baby” . No one’s ever looked as cute while carrying the devil’s spawn.
Just as she did with “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, Amy Heckerling created a time-capsule of a movie with “Clueless”, capturing all the nuances of fashion in the mid-nineties. I coveted all of Cher’s school girl dresses and knee socks. I still haven’t quite gotten over the knee sock thing.

I coveted all of Cher’s school girl dresses and knee socks. I still haven’t quite gotten over the knee sock thing. In “Singles”, Bridget Fonda with her flannel, combat boots and fishnets epitomized my perfect high school wardrobe. I spent much of my adolescence in baby doll dresses and Doc Martens. I actually consider myself lucky to have grown up under the influence of grunge fashion; to have come of age at a time when being fashionable wasn’t about dressing in a revealing or overtly sexual way. I can’t imagine what it must be like for girls growing up under today’s fashion influences.
While fashion is not exactly a major topic in this movie, I couldn’t help notice Maggie Gyllenhaal’s bow-neck blouses and tailored skirts in “Secretary”. It was almost enough to make me want to get a job as a secretary just so I could wear the outfits. Minus the sadistic boss, of course.
No doubt the decade that is my biggest fashion influence is the 1960’s. I even love the 60’s interpretation of previous decades. Case in point, Faye Dunaway’s 30’s inspired wardrobe in “Bonnie & Clyde” . No one’s ever rocked a scarf and beret quite like Faye’s Bonnie. I go through a Bonnie phase at least once a year, every time the weather starts to cool.
I love the dreamy color-saturated world in which Audrey Tautou's Amelie resides. She has a timeless quirkiness to the way she dresses that, while I don't think it exactly works for me, I very much admire.
Los Angeles Street Style ???
As mentioned previously, one of my favorite time wasters at work is perusing the street style blogs that are popping up all over the internet. In all of my searching, what seems sorely lacking is a Los Angeles street style blog. Now, I’ve run across a few attempts here or there, but none that post regularly or have very artfully taken photos. If there’s one out there and I’ve missed it, I’d love to know. While I find that on the whole, Los Angeles as a city lacks the soul necessary to cultivate the creative dressing you see coming out of cities like NY and Paris, I do see quite a few people walking the street with inspirational style. I would love to start incorporating some street style shots into my posts but I haven’t quite figured out how to approach complete strangers and ask to take their photo. I’m afraid they’ll think I’m completely crazy, or worse that they’ll be completely crazy. On the way home from work yesterday, there was a woman at the bus stop that I found had an endearingly crazy-old-lady thing going on and I so wanted to take her photo. Well, I didn’t ask, but I did sneak this one in while she wasn’t looking. I love the yellow beret perched on her head the most.
Early Fashion Inspirations
These days it seems the hippest names to drop when citing fashion inspirations are Jane Birkin (and her entire brood of children), Kate Moss, and even (gasp) the Olsen twins. Undoubtedly, these women are of substantial style and I have been known to admire an ensemble or two. But my interest in fashion started at a fairly young age. At eight years old I was no where near name dropping Birkin, Doillon, Gainsburg or even Hepburn for that matter. I was more concerned with which jelly shoes went with which jelly bracelets and if I could really pass off my Palmetto jeans as Guess jeans. So, here are my early (slightly embarrassing) fashion inspirations.
I guess it all started with Punky Brewster. I loved her tom-boyish, mismatched outfits. I headed off to school many a day sporting one pink sneaker and one aqua sneaker, my pigtails swinging. Those were good days.
Anyone remember Blossom? Yeah, that’s right. I said it. Blossom Russo. As in I actually watched a show that featured Joey Lawrence as a regular character. Whoa! It definitely wasn’t the riveting story lines that kept me glued to the show. Something about Blossom’s off beat clothes and floppy sunflower hats appealed to the budding fashion-hound in me. Call it a sign of the times.
Only slightly less embarrassing is Nickelodeon’s own Clarissa Darling. Again, it was not the situational family comedy that kept me coming back for more. Clarissa never failed to disappoint with her quirky combos. Mini skirts with colored tights? Check. Overalls rolled up with combat boots? Check. I’m guilty of it all.

One of my favorite time wasters at work is perusing the street fashion blogs that have become so prevalent. Among the best are The Sartorialist, even though it tends to cater to a more, shall we say, affluent crowd and Face Hunter who tends to lean towards the painfully hip kids running amok in London, Paris and Milan. If you meet them somewhere in the middle you can find loads of inspirational, doable looks. For instance, this look as recently posted on Face Hunter:
I love the simplicity of it all. It's chic and hip but not so much so that you'll look back in a year and think "What the hell was I thinking?" Here is my attempt at not so much recreating the look, but interpreting it with items already found in my closet.

altamiranyc
Eben beim taff schaun hab ich von einen tollen Blog erfahren der sich altamiranyc nennt.
Geschrieben wird er von Craig Arend, sein Blog beschäftigt sich mit dem New Yorker Streetstyle und streetfashion von anderen Modemetropolen.
Er hatte es nicht einfach, als er 2001 nach NY kam hatte er weder Freunde, Familie noch eine Bleibe.
Da er sich schon immer für Mode und Fotografie begeistern lies begann er einen Blog zu schreiben.
Er fotografiert Models in ihren "Privatoutfits", unterwegs ist er in dem hippen New Yorker Stattteil Soho.
Um bei ihm vor die Linse zu kommen muss man außergewöhnliche und einzigartige Looks tragen.
Mitlerweile fotografiert er auch für große Magazine und sein Blog ist auf ELLE.de vertreten.
Ein Style ist mir schon bei taff aufgefallen und zwar der von Vogue It Girl Becka Diamond.
Top - Sonia Rykiel
Leider trägt sie ausschließlich Designermode, jedoch denke ich das man das nachstylen kann.

DICO COPENHAGEN
Mein absoluter Favourit sind die Schnürboots in olive-dunkelgrau, jedoch kosten sie knappe 200€ ziemlich viel Geld.
Erhältlich ist die ware von DC bei frontline.
