Paper Bag Chic!

Who would have though paper bagging would be so chic! Once of the best things about fashion is that you can take whatever works for you and your lifestyle and admire it for what it is, beautiful art made or fabric. Collections like this are not meant to be taken literally, they are a fantastic source of inspiration.

I have put together a couple of looks I would wear inspired by Maison Marting Margela's Spring 2010 Collection

  

More Resort collections 2011

I have always loved resort collections, they are so simple and designers really make them about the clothe, its all about the look as opposed to the big production behind a fashion show. It is very refreshing to just focus on the clothes and putting together a look that works for you and making it your own after all, that's what fashion is all about!

Longchamp bags have become extremely popular in the past couple of years, they are extremely light and super easy to store. They are the perfect for traveling or for the gym. They come in different colors and sizes but if you are looking to update yours and adding a funky print or military details, Jeremy Scott has done some amazing collaborations with Longchamp  here are some of them:

Girlie looks for the home too!!

I recently bought some amazing pillows from Home Sense and they give my classic brown leather couch a little touch of softness and they create the perfect balance!

Do not make this a theme, we want to add just enough femininity to the room without looking like you are walking into the bedroom of a 12 year old girl. Fresh flowers and a couple of these beautiful pillows in your bedroom or living room and voila! you are done!

Super soft and girly workwear

Inspiration: Nina Ricci Spring 2010

Another soft and feminine alternative for the summer. This collection is full of soft pinks, ruffles and floral details in sheer fabrics. Basically a girlie girl's dream came to life thanks to Peter Copping.

Show some snakeskin

The Michael Kors 2011 Resort Collection shows a more conservative and minimalist approach on safari looks and sweater dressing. Hemlines were longer and touches of gray and lavender softened the collection creating a more subdued look than his previous collections. Mixing white and snakeskin print on hats, skirts and shoes added a more sophisticated and classic look which is what this label is all about.

 

These are some of my options for everyday snakeskin
