Part of My Wardrobe

I've been collecting some items for my spring wardrobe and I thought I would post a few pictures of my favorites pieces so far.

Part of my spring wardrobe choices.



Colored Denim

One of the latest trends I want to try is colored denim. I own black jeans and I own a pair of white jeans, but I would love to try and rock a pair of red or bright blue or  pastel jeans. I think colored denim would add that touch of pizazz to anyone's outfit.
I think red jeans would look great with a black & white striped top and classic black ballet flats.
Pastel colored denim, maybe coral or light blue, would look pretty with a lace top and a necklace that has lots of strands of pearls. Also, hair in a messy bun with pink or coral lipstick/lip stain would add that special touch.
I hope everyone will try a pair of colored denim, whether jeans or shorts or capris. :)

More Chanel, Because Really, You Can Never Have Enough

So I love Chanel and have already posted about her, but I figured I'd let everyone know I would be posting way more than just once. Be prepared to have about 1 chanel post every month or so.

I like to flip through my magazines and either mark or tear out the pages of ads or pieces I find inspiring. My most recent find is a Chanel ad on the back of Instyle's March edition.

I like how simple and chic Chanel ads are. It's like the background is a blank canvas and everything baout the girls is so simple that the clothes can really shine in the ad.

Pastels

I am estactic that pastels are a major idea for spring. I've been browsing through my magazines and I love the Louis Vuitton ads. Here's my favorite, from Instyle:

I like how everything is in pastels, not just what they're selling. By having the background essentially be one solid shade of pink the girls' dresses and purses really pop even though they're soft pastels. I think that I may have to incorporate more pastels into my wardrobe for this spring. I'm a big fan of black but I love when spring comes around and I can break out all of my flowery dress and bright colored shoes and fun flowy tops.

Spring: Romance in the Air

Spring is coming and so is the return of florals, pastels, ruffles, and peplums!

For the new season I would go with one major key piece for a bigger impact overall. I would keep the makeup soft and not overwhelming. The jewelry & other accessories should be subtle or not over powering- unless of course that's your key piece. I would go with pinks, pastels, whites/creams for nail polish choices. Shoes are strappy, sandals, or wedges.

I would have to say that a floral dress, solid sweater, pastel bag, and pink lipstick is probably going to be my favorite outfit for this coming spring.

Black and White

I have completed my first collection in my new sketch book! It's 7 different looks that include pants, shorts, tights, skirts, and a dress or two. The collection is based on 7 black & white photographs of places in Paris.

I have one of the Louvre with the glass pyramid, a cafe, a carousel and church, a long staircase, men fishing in the river, and a boat going under one of the bridges. All my looks have shades of black and grey with white and touches of bright red or maroon. I tried to vary my outfits by including pieces you could wear with each other- like the shorts & other tops.

As of now I'm not sure what my next collection will be based on but that's why you find inspiration anywhere. I'll probably do something with bright, vibrant colors to spice things up.
If you have any ideas just let me know.
