I found some new inspiration on the weekend.

I might be seem slow off the mark to those who already knew about this very cool website known as lookbook.nu. I always take time out in my day to indulge in street style websites websites such as the Thesartorialist, Facehunter and Streetpeeper.com. One of my favourite pastimes is also sitting in a city cafe to study what strangers that pass me by are wearing. Sadly the internet has now allowed me to indulge in this fashion voyeurism to an even greater extent, viewing what strangers are wearing all around the globe and all on the same day.
What has me excited about Lookbook.nu is the visual aesthetic of the images posted. Once upon a time it was only the glossy pages in fashion magazines which captured the chicest of outfit combinations, styled flawlessly and photographed so beautifully. I’d slowly soak up each delightful page, captivated by the clever angles and beautiful lighting.
The digital age has now allowed ordinary people to experiment, turning their bedrooms, backyards and personal wardrobes into their own fashion masterpieces. With no expensive film processing costs, practice can make perfect and my God it’s impressive. With the added addition of Photoshop, complete artistic expression is accessible to the masses & I I’m pretty impressed by what I see. It’s not only the clever outfit combinations; it’s the complete beautiful image that’s been created. Some of the photos I’ve been looking at are as good as a Russh Editorial, and just as cleverly styled.
Having always collected images for inspiration I’ve now found a website that will definitely keep me occupied for quite some time. With pages and pages of inspiration, it’s just how deep to you want to go and how much time do you have....

Some of my favourite pics - today...

Fashion Designer is the high ranking personality in the world of fashion industry. Without the talented and intelligent Fashion Designers, there are no fabulous clothing designs in the earth that wear by people. The elegance and luxuriant of design and styles of well known Fashion Designers are the life of fashion industry all over the world. And fashion designer is nothing if there are no Fashion schools.

In London, the London College of Fashion is one of the most acquainted school where the most respected Fashion designers are born.

Without the fashion industry, we don't have clothes.

I think I’ve got it pegged....

Pant trend of the moment – The Peg. Being only 5ft tall myself, I’m pretty sure that this cropped style pant is not going to do my own proportions any favours, never the less it's been sparking my curiosity for a while. If it’s denim jeans rolled up at the bottom, or tapered in luxurious silk dressy pegs, the simple fact is that celebrities, stylists and the fashion forward among us are embracing it whole hearted. I'm doing my research first before investing in a pair, Ashleigh Olsen pulled it off and she's short too.......?

Anyway, as always I'm happy to share my findings and curious as to how others are feeling about the peg...

Another new Issue... another new fashion obsession...

Firstly, the new issue of Mylookbook is now online. I'm really proud of this issue, and thanks to my wonderful contributors such as Erica Bartle from Girlwithatchel "Pretty Pages" and Katie Gannon of Mother Maria "Green Pages", Mylookbook isn't only pretty pictures now but an interesting read as well.

On the cover is Kookai's amazing cropped leather jacket. I became quite obsessed with this jacket & yesterday it got the better of me and I drove 40 minutes to my closest Kookai store to purchase one. Now I've been googling ideas for what to wear it with (once the weather cools down). My favourite looks so far are from Nicole Richie & Sienna Miller..... Can't wait for winter!
