girl crush/style icon

Hello,

Hope everyone is enjoying the awesome weather. I certainly have, but maybe did a bit too much today. I went and burnt the bottom of my bum...silly me. Hurts so much, but I only have myself to blame I guess!
I have hardly been on my computer due to the glorious sunshine, but I've been looking for some style inspiration and have definitely found my new style-icon-girl-crush-extreme. She's called Tricia Gosingtian and you may already have seen her/follow her style posts, but I have just found her and she is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Extreme style envy and hair envy! I thought I would post a few of my favourite looks, which I may try to re-create.

I adore the amount of collars she uses to style her outfits. I just think they finish the overall look really well, and dress up a casual sweater or t-shirt. I've been thinking about interview clothes for when I go to London and start (hopefully!) having interviews. I find summer sometimes hard to interview dress for. Winter I feel is a lot easier, but in summer you want to make sure you're cool (temp-wise!) but still look good and smart. Browsing through Tricia's blog and Lookbook helps as I think there are a lot of cute styles, perfect for that summer interview.

All images are from Tricia Gosingtian's blog and Facebook.

I may have a go at making some collars to add edginess to some of my outfits. But for now I shall go and pour after-sun all over my poor, burnt body.

hii,

i know i don't usually post about catwalk fashion etc...but i was just looking through Style.com & i love Dior's Couture 2010/11 collection. i always usually like Dior's couture collection's, especially the make-up & hair. most of the time it has a 40s/50s/60s look to it, which are my favourite eras for beauty.

in my opinion, these are some of the best make-up & hair looks, & garments from the collection. for my summer project, which i haven't done much of (eeeek), i am concentrating on on nature & flowers, so this collection is pretty good as inspiration & research.







this looks amazing! i absolutely love it & i think the lipstick shade is gorgeous. i really want to try a darker shade of lipstick, such as a plum colour, so i might take the plunge & go for it. not sure which brand to go for though. anyway, in the image above; the way they have used bright colours but it still looks really classy & 50's is so nice. thumbs up! the garments, seen below, are also stunning & given the use of bright colours, still remain to look sophisticated with the 40s/50s glamour.

right, i'm going to watch Wrong Turn 2 now. i hope it's as good as the first!

goodbye for now
