[Sometimes Images] Inspire

 I am a visual person. I am constantly surrounding myself with imagery. 

Sometimes its an image that inspires me creatively- the colour of feather, the textures in a room, a beautiful portrait or an intriguing fashion shoot. Sometimes I'm drawn to an image just from the feeling it gives me, sometimes I just like to look at images for no other reason that they make me smile or day dream. Sometimes an image will be of something I'm coveting or a street-style-snap that reflects my sense of style or one that I wish I had! 

And sometimes its just nice to see all those images that circulate around me in some kind of order. So I have collated just a couple of these images that are doing the rounds into six somewhat-organised collages.

[Sporting Sporty] GAME ON!!

It doesn't matter what sport you follow, just bring out the inner sports fan!!

From the Spring runways to the streets, the sporty trend is out in force and is only getting stronger.

Even if you don't follow baseball, basketball or football there is no reason you can't be a team player. 

OK, OK enough with the sporting puns, there are way too many to keep score of anyway!! haha ;)

Because there are so many different ways this trend can be interpreted  I have created some collages to help breakdown a few of the sporty elements. Hopefully they will give you some great outfit inspiration too!!

[goodies] adding up the kilos

If you were wondering what made up the 66kg of luggage and an 8kg flat rate box.....

here are a few little kilos I picked up in New York and Chicago.

Tracey Tanner leather 'gold bar' wallet and sting ray pouch.  Leather wrapped crystal on cord.

I found this skull bracelet on my birthday in the Chelsea Markets and thought it was definitely a good excuse to treat myself!  

J.Crew rhinestone bracelets to add to my colourful arm party collection!
I found these hands at Urban Outfitters, they are the perfect addition to the top of my dresser to hold a few of my treasures.

G L I T T E R  H E E L S!!
There is just the right amount of glitter on these Top Shop booties. They are so comfortable, I walked all around Manhattan in them!

I found these Top Shop boots the same time as the Glitter Heels. I am so glad I picked up both pairs, these are great for everyday.

I can find shoes anywhere, any time- call it a six sense. So these Vince Camuto heels couldn't hide from me amongst the hustle and bustle of Grand Central Station!

F A V O U R I T E S!
No words can to describe how much I LOVE these black suede metal toe pumps from Vince Camuto's Signature collection...except that I REALLY REALLY LOVE THEM!!

On SALE at Banana Republic- green snake skin bag and straw fedora hat!  Also this black fedora wool hat by Wilfred from Aritzia.

One of my favourite shops in America is Anthropologie. I love the individual styling and merchandising that each store has. I studied Textiles and Fashion and found great appreciation for textiles. This navy embroidered top has a beautiful colours and I love that you can see the individual stitches in each flower.

My lump of coal, trinket box.

A few prints I picked up at The Museum of Modern Art.
