Bardot

Holiday (and year round) hair and style inspiration from Bridget Bardot. She always seemed to get it right!

Illustration by me, photos from everywhere (sorry!)

Fall Things

Going through old books for inspiration, throwing glitter around...pretty standard.     I painted pumpkins this year instead of carving them, because I'm impatient and usually end up stabbing myself at least once. Also, the results are very pretty compared to my poor, rushed carving jobs. Especially in the sun!

I say I'm comin' home

A recent illustration (and favourite style inspiration rolled into one), and a song. Hope your week is off to a good start!

Je suis la roller girl

I would gladly take that corset/dress please and thank you. As well as the ability to wear red stockings well.

Also see Roller Girl which I cannot embed, for some serious socks and dance moves, early Harry Potter glasses, and a strangely addictive song.

Silver Threads and Golden Needles

Some recent sources of inspiration and possibly also results of procrastination. Here we are:

 I'm on a bit of an Anna Karina kick lately. 

Pretty Ad Campaign.

Philippa Bywater by Julian Marshall

Young Leighton Meester shot by Sofia Coppola for "Prom Queens" in a 1990's edition of Nova. I love the colours!

Jane Birkin, 1966

Michelle Williams for "Boy" by Band of Outsiders

Lovely ceiling installation in Tokyo!

We'll Take Manhattan

I really want to see this! Karen Gillan and Aneurin Barnard look like they make a good Shrimpton and Bailey, from what I know of the latter two anyways. The clothing looks like the best part, particularly the cream coloured coat in the fourth photo. I've been hunting for one like that for ages!
