Currently absolutely obsessed with layering, and cutting clothes to make them work as flattering layers. It’s influencing my entire fashion-related life at the moment, from what I’m wearing to throwing out, and what I’m currently buying in for my store, shutterbug.

Following on from the last post, I went on a little etsy tour - I LOVE this jewellery from ChainChainChained . I shall be making some purchases.
I’ve added the pieces I love to Pinterest >here< so each image will link directly to it’s place in her etsy store.

I could not love the jewellry situation on the arms of the Oracle Fox anymore, or the dress and accessories on this shoot from Foam magazine.
Must start buying.

Back in 2009 I did a post about ‘the most beautiful wedding invitation of all time?’ - so here is it’s distant cousin. This image comes from the recent nuptials of David Lauren (son of Ralph) and Lauren Bush (niece of George W and who will now be know as Lauren Bush Lauren.) It made me say ‘ooooh!’ - it’s original, though yes - nostalgically so… and it is beautiful. Of course, that is aided and abetted by the incredible gown and lovely faces.

1. I actually have most of these things on the beach - time to get out the white paint…
2. the hair - the hair. Can anyone name the blogger? Amazing.
3. the font.

I am constantly torn between all white and too much.

…right now I am loving all of the above.
1. overloaded.
2. fish plait.
3. the table.
4. the sheer.
5. white paint chair.
6. effortless.

I adore this belt. It’s pricey - but I mean it when I say I adore it like a false-god-belt. The styling in the lifestyle shots is pretty amazing too.
Sold >here<

This jacket blew my mind - to die for…is that too noughties an expression?
..but if I was getting hitched - I think my effort would be a mix of these two styles. What a dress by Alexancer McQueen, and you can’t beat simple flowers in a deconstructed hair-do…
xBlanaid
…remind me of there.

1. Pink lace.
2. Messy hair.
3. L.A. by Fashion Toast - my favourite view of the place.
4. The graphics.

There’s something about a vintage convertible mercedes that just turns my head. Particularly in beige, pale gold or soft green/blue.

Summer is coming - and I just booked my flights to L.A. Lots of exciting things going on, but firstly, I just need to get near to some of that heat and ocean.
If you have any recommendations for things to do/see/eat/hear/be/shop/stay in L.A - I’d very much appreciate them.

Just a quick post - the top image is the amouuunt of rings I was wearing the other day - all from my shop. The second image is from Garance Dore - I am smitten with the fading-into-white shirt. The third image is a sheet of very quick sketches I was hammering out (poorly) so I knew which stock to send for a shoot Brid Leahy was working with Louise Johnston (Fade Street). The hanger/sharpie were accidental in place - and the image was taken just to text over for reference, but I liked the pink tone the table took on and so hence - it is used as though public posting was the intention! Finally - the fur coat on the right must be mine.

Another Irish designer in this extended ‘week’- though this one is now based in Ney York, Sandra Murphy is truly representing the nu-wave of vintage inspired collections. Her imagery for her label ‘Recollection‘ is sensational too - it was hard to pick just a few for this post. Pop over to her site for a minute!

This pretty collection is by Irish designer Katie Harte for her etsy store Pure Harte. This vintage inspired photoshoot was a collaboration with Alice from Aliquo boutique, who created the jewellery. Both designer’s sell online and in the Loft Market, in the Powerscourt S.C, Dublin. Sigh - I love this shoot, it makes me want to dress like a proper girl.
The first installment in my young Irish designer week of posts - and it’s the wonderful talent of Alice Halliday. This is a shoot of her graduate collection ’Soul Salvation’ with an all Cork team creative team - and look at these results. Amazing. I particularly love the cloak in the first photo, which Florence from ‘Florence and the Machine’ recently took away on tour with her…impressed? Why, yes, I really, really am….

I love the Lookbook page for Margaux from the Kooples blog. She makes me want to return to my bleached head and black. See it >here<

Fancy Friday will return this Friday, I’m afraid that I felt that I had said all I had to say in the 50th Fancy Friday - but of course, it is never simple to just stop writing. I took a long look at my posts since that post, and I feel they have been somewhat… tentative.
I had written another post and published it tonight, but it just wasn’t me at all. Deleted. Started again, and enjoyed it this time.

I’ll be needing Anja Rubik’s (left) jumper and hat.

I can’t explain how I felt when I saw the first photo - it was emotional. Yes. I am that sad.

I wish I had the courage to wear this - or you know…the wardrobe.
