Yesterday's Outfit: Chanel

I really need to get on buying a Chanel bag, I've just never come across any that are of reasonable price, I'm looking for a leather quilted Chanel, this may have to happen after Christmas...hopefully! Anyway, this look is inspired by the more classic side of Chanel, and below are some of ads that I've collected over the years that inspire really just about all my outfits based off Chanel! :) Here are some quick snapshots of yesterdays outfit below...

Hot Days.

At least it's not raining anymore around here, I've been into a lot of earth colors lately, plus a few different colors of pink. I love these bracelets. The two small gold bangles and the orange stone bracelet with engraved leaves we're a thrift store find, the gold cuff was a gift from my godmother, and the black lucite bangle is from Forever 21.

Some inspirational pictures, this is the vibe I've been feeling recently...vintage, earthy, tribal indian type of vibes.

Picture from Dazed and Confused magazine. 

*All other pictures unknown, although I have a feeling the one right above is Vogue.

More pictures to come!

Inspiration Board F/W '10

I've decided to turn my ordinary cork board covered with memorabilia into a fashion inspiration board. I'm planning on changing this one soon but in the meantime I'm going to start creating a new header for Dragon Queen! Now back to my inspiration board, here are some shots taken.

 Check out the left bottom corner, see those swirly beaded decorations? I made them out of beads and wire, they're actually really fun and easy to make! I'm started creating a whole bunch for an upcoming photo shoot and many of them are hanging around the house and outside.

I've been going for a lot of soft earthy colors lately like light pinks, cream colors and some different colors of purple and wearing a lot of jewelry. I like to call it 'hippie vibes'.

 Featuring more things that were given to me (like the green beaded 'respect' bracelet and the fashion sketch postcard from Stephens) and things that I made (the gold pin with white feathers, top right and the orange clip with black feathers bottom left).

 If you can read it its an awesome fashion poem I cut out of Vogue based off the poem How Do I Love Thee? by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, just a slight change of words :)

And last, a couple of my creations to go with the whole hippie vibes, which is now over and done with due to the snow I saw this morning when I woke up! Time to photograph and catch some new vibes and I hope everyones enjoying the snow!
