Dreaming of Summertime....

It's a rainy day and I am day dreaming of summer days and the colours that remind me of summer time....

Today I am loving Stripes...

Stripes never seem to go out of fashion. Whether it is a Breton stripe top or whatever piece, I think everyone should have staple stripes in their wardrobe! I love the way Prada have updated stripes by adding a cool silhouette to their S/S 2011 collection:

Pretty brave colour blocking with stripes, and wearing stripes up top and bottom?. That's brave and it works-too cool! The blue and black stripes outfit below is my favourite. The crop jacket is beautiful-I want it, that dropped shoulder. Wonder how easy this would be to copy, hmmm? What is it made out of? Loving the sleeve in this collection. A casual style that is not intimidating-love it, love it, love it!
I prefer this to the power shoulder of 2010, my shoulders are pretty tough looking already and too much padding leaves me looking a little Schwarzenegger. Not a good look for me. Not being blessed with model proportions has left me in a dilemma-what to wear? Some days getting dressed is easy and other days it's so tough! I try to keep an updated style, interpreting fashion styles and mixing classic/vintage dressing, without looking like I have tried too hard, and as for high fashion dressing-I am afraid it is just never going to happen! I am however going to go have a rake in the wardrobe and dig out any stripes...

Loving the 70's Vibe!

'Studio 54'

Obsessed with Blondie's cool nonchalant style and Bianca Jagger-an icon! Seems to be the mood of the 70's for designers now.

Marc Jacobs 70's New York Stylee!

Look back at Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver 1976!

Blondie looking effortlessly cool-70's. She looks HOT!
