Style Envy | Daphne Guinness Part Deux
I just cant get enough of this woman!
I really admire & slightly envy her! This is a woman that is wearing Couture...wearable ART.
She makes it work, she owns her look.
That is what confidence is about! OWNING your look.
*Hell that's what Life's about... OWNING YOU!
Style Envy | Daphne Guinness
I adore & am intrigued by Daphne Guinness (heir of the Guinness liquor dynasty) and her style.
In interviews she comes across as very witty, personable and unaware of her effect on fashion/style.
Though her ensembles look as though they take HOURS to prepare, Daphne insist that it only takes her about 10min to dress because her color palette consists mostly of black & white.
With overstuffed Hermes bags, sky-high heels and a tiny waist that rivals Dita Von Teese & Mr. Pearl's Daphne is a force to be reckoned with.
"Burn Outs" not the T-shirt
Going through one of my FAVORITE magazines...(sorry, but this one is a secret) I began reading an interview and discovered one COOL chick: Aurel Schmidt.
Schmidt, born and raised in Canada can best be described as a mis-fit. Wearing over-sized glasses, hailing from a trailer-park and not too well received or encouraged by her pa-rentals, this 25 y/o ditched Canada and headed for Vancouver. There she dived into the art scene and the rest is history.
Here are some images from her book: Burn Out "This series focuses on the profane, icky, neglected and overlooked objects of daily life"
While grotesque, its fascinating as well.
Lucette: Embellished Transitional Clothing
While Fall is swiftly making its way in and the September fashion issues are filling our heads with yummy fall goods, I can't help but fight against the current and try to stretch out the Summer season. Both Spring & Fall are the BEST opportunities to layer and get the most wear out of your clothing, IMO.
With that being said I present Lucette a play on the word "Shine" this brand is all about embellishment, you know beads, feathers & the like. What I like about this brand is that their are so many options within their collections perfect for transitioning from Summer into Fall! If you're like me you layer so much that you don't even bother putting on a coat until the middle of February.
*Ah how us women forsake good health for fashion. Someone hand me the Theraflu NOW!
From their A/W 09 Collection
Transitional items from their S/S 09 Collection
*I understand some people have a hard time layering.
The key is start with a basic i.e. leotard, leggings, unitard, plain white/black t-shirt and THEN layer from their.
Always start with a simple foundation.
