#1 MILAN - blue suede creepers

My one and only purchase from my visit to Milan.






I bought these shoes from a little store named Stiu down Corso Porta Ticinese on Thursday, and the shop was full of beautiful shoes, mainly creepers. These came in either red, blue, black or mustard yellow, I could have bought them all. With the cut out features round the front of the shoe these shoes will be perfect for summer and winter.

BWGH - KEVIN COULIAU









I love these images which I came across on the French brand's Brooklyn We Go Hard's website. The photographer Kevin Couliau is one of the most known street basketball photographers, whilst also being a film director. These images were taken in New York City when he was filming a documentary 'Doin't in the Park'.

The images show how even in the everyday spaces of our lives, something can be found and turned into an interesting subject to study.

#1 Christopher Kane A/W 12 LFW

This is one of my drawings of one of my favourite looks of LFW AW 12 - Christopher Kane, I absolutely love this dress. I want my blog to start becoming a little bit more creative and not just me reposting a lot of pictures.
My drawing skills are minimal so I drew the background, photoshoped the flowers on and photoshoped my Grandma's head in - Viola! An awesome image with a cut and paste feel.
I'm gonna be doing 5 images each week, alternating menswear and womenswear, my grandparents will have never looked so good.

WATCH THIS SPACE.

#1 If I were a boy...

This is my first 'If I were a boy...' post, which I have just thought up this very moment!

I have to say today has been one of those ideas where everything just clicks into their right places and you let out a big sigh of relief, that you have once again proved to yourself that your brain is capable of being creative and your whole existance is not a waste of space.
Rambling will now discontinue.

If I were a boy I would purchase these Visvim Patrician-Folk Derby brogue shoe.

Chloe Sevigny for Interview Magazine











Along with every other girl my age I have a crush on Chloe Sevigny. The photos are from Interview magazine's most recent issue named 'The Men's Issue', which may have something to do with how these images are shot? Is it me or do these images look in some way brutal - not very easy on the eye, and very different to how other magazines have shot Sevigny, who is usually cast the role as the cute indie girl. I love these images as they definitely show a different side to her persona, one that is very rarely uncovered.

Spanish Moss Look Book S/S 2012





















I absolutely love these images from Spanish Moss' S/S 2012 look book titled
'Headed to the Canyon', if you haven't checked this brand out before I definitely
recommend it it also sells vintage clothing as well as it's own brand. I love the laid back
feel to the photography.

My Top Eight iPad Apps

I recieved an iPad for Christmas from my parents, and I don't think I have been able to put it down since! I have downloaded many apps, mainly fashion and here are my top 8...

1. The Collection by New York Times
I have just downloaded this and I am already hooked! Great for reviews and the street section by Bill Cunningham are a must.
2. Valet magazine
I have recently joined the fashionbeans.com news team and since then have been really focusing my reading around menswear - valet's morning reports are a must read!
3. Love magazine
Love magazine is great to get inspiration on editorials every time you visit the app you can download a new fashion shoot or interview - their Abi Clancy one was amazing!
4. Self Service magazine
Who doesn't love this magazine? I love love love their photography and features, styling everything! the iPad is a shorter version of their biannual magazine, cannot wait for the next one. I truly admire their work.
5. ASOS magazine
They do have some great content, but their presentation and layout of their iPad magazine is genius, with moving, clickable pictures and videos within features.
6. The Times
For getting all the news and headlines, before this I was never up to date!
7. The Daily W
Their features are a must read.
8. Style.com
Great for getting all the up to date pictures of the runway shows when you're on the go.

Alexa Chung for Superga

















Everyone has a little something for miss Chung, and her 'stylish, never gonna get it wrong ways'. I absolutely love her in the new Superga campaign. My favourite image has to be the one where she's in bed holding the shoe to her head as a phone, she definitely can do quirky. I have also ordered my first pair of low and mid top Supergas so watch this space. They were only £40 each!
