Tim Adam - It's in the bag

I love these vivid images featuring beautiful bags by Tim Adam.. Hailing from Portland, Oregan (which is pretty near the top of my 'Places I want to visit on a future American road trip' list), Adam creates simple, casual canvas backpacks. These photos were taken whilst he was visiting Cape Town, sourcing unique fabrics. The bright colours and simple styling are perfect summer inspiration.

Favourite Things

Collars peeking over jumpers in sweet pastel tinges,

Plain shift dresses and heavy blunt fringes,

Patterned pinafore dresses and thin golden rings,

These are a few of my favourite things.

Katie Eleanor

I just came across the photography talent that is Katie Eleanor and had to share her work with you. Katie creates beautiful 'dreamscapes' with delectable names including 'sea-salt' and 'the petal circus'. Her double exposures are the stuff that dreams are made of.

Perfection in a Dress

I am reserving most of my street style inspiration for my tumblr blog nowadays. My thought process is to make this blog more personal and more diverse, with more of my own photography (when/if I get round to it). But sometime a street style image stops me in my tracks and I have to share it on as many mediums as possible. Hence this post, featuring this knock-out outfit: loosely-tied-up hair (look at that perfect wave!), bare legs, simple flat black pumps and THAT DRESS. The simple navy top, the ruched waist (expertly emphasised by the skinny brown belt) and the full, knee-length mottled-grey skirt. If anyone can guide me to where to purchase this exquisite item, I would be eternally grateful.

Paris Fashion Week - Carven

Every Paris Fashion Week, the one show that is guaranteed to please me is Carven. The usual suspects were all there - pouffy mini-skirts (with pockets!) , platform Mary-Jane's (I spy a trend here) and contrasting collars. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, seems to be Henry's motto, and why would he when the label is gaining more hype every season.
