25 YEARS LATER

Broken Phones.
Fired Assistants.
Stolen diamonds.

I don't even think its appropriate to offer my opinion on his work.
But i will do so, so often we are mesmorised by a picture, but i don't really think it is about the aesthetics or the beauty of the subject that defines that 'awe' or 'speechless-ness' one gets from seeing a picture...more so the way it is interpreted. the colour the angles and the strength/sadness/happiness/elation/ vulnerability that you feel when you see the picture.

ANDREA KLARIN

I like her work for the take on romance in every picture, i think she makes everything seem so soft and feminine, think thats her personal "signiture".Everything seems so brezzy and if i could put a season to her pictures I would say summer after light rain.

Movement & Story telling.
nothing more & nothing short of amazing.

And. . .and. . .and . . .
wanted to put up so many different photographers up, the last three i'm not too sure about all their campaigns but they have amazing work.First the genious that goes into thinking about such a shoot then actually executing it.Different photographers = different perspectives and ways of telling the "story" or interpreting the item of clothing or just changing perspectives.

A girl worth kissing is not easily kissed. . .

 Sometimes style is so simple.
Like everything in life it has a focus.
I fell in love with this patent black clutch by ASOS black collection
just found the existance of ASOS from this other totally amazing fashion blog called 5inch and up
OFF topic i know but look at how a simple bag can be tranformed into different looks.















All in the details lovelies :)
Sondra Roberts clutch 
ahhhh...think this is more of a romantic bag....if that makes any sense what so ever.....
nude.
Look how you can wear this. . .











 Santi bag
I like.I like so much that i think i love kinda like.
Its different & something people would definitely pass in thse stores.
I am that shopper.
I would walk passed it.Then go home. Then come right back for this
before you disagree...which you are allowed to...lol..Just see what i mean







(Souces: polyvore.com)

You see.
Even neutrals can be worn in a different way...
its all about the perspective of the way you want to interprete the piece best.
Somehow i do think there are no rules in fashion there is no right or wrong.
I do acknowledge something such as bad taste...
But for the most part of it is is 100% inspiration, love and craziness that lead to "the best dressed"
