Classy. Casual. To the point.

So, I feel it's appropriate at this time to say a wee farewell to the structured segments of my blog :: fotografía friday & estilo sunday, until further notice. As you may have noticed, these segments generally don't appear on said days, due to my schedule, and so a more organic approach I think is best for now. Whilst I like the idea of having an expected post every week (like many of my fellow bloggers do), my creative ramble and inspirational sharing is best done in an unstructured fashion. Probably keeps you on your toes too ;)

So here's to the organic creative ramble, with a dash of design and illustration too.


Stay tuned.

Another belated edition of estilo sunday, found via The Served. Full of delicious retro glamour... sure to satisfy and inspire you all year long. Designed by Design Army, the following is for the Editorial spreads for the Winter/Spring 2012 cover story of Washingtonian Magazine's Bride & Groom issue.

I simply couldn't resist sharing the sumptuous pastel palette and old school feminine starlet beauty, gorgeous photography and classic clean, yet creative composition.

There's a little bit of Ginger Love going on here... don't know if you noticed ;P

Style inspiration for me these days comes in the form of all things vintage, block colour, hues of blue and orange. Mustard and calico, tan and leather, tortoiseshell and Popular Penguins... and of course the odd luxurious sparkle. In one of my daily blog reads, I came across this video for Kate Spade, and instantly fell in love - with the short film, the fashion and accessories styling, the interiors... Ah! Team all of the above with New York and the whimsical tune of Soko, and you have this week's edition of estilo sunday. Right up my alley.

I recently came across the most adorable attire, albeit for our feline friends, I had to share it with you.

From the wonderful CatAtelier, you too can dress up your little and not so little ones in the sensational styles created for the most sophisticated Aristocats. If you don't think your feline friend would tolerate such fashions, you can simply gush over the snaps below.

Darling, aren't they?

estilo sunday

Issued on your Monday, but nevertheless, the week's estilo Sunday greets you with the sweetest of fairytale inspired necklines.
For the innocent, the quirky and the alternative - here you have the Peter Pan collar. I can't get enough :: shopping all things Peter Pan collared as we speak. I can see my Autumn wardrobe having a little more of the whimsical touch, loaded with quirk.

 

Second star to the right, and straight on til morning?

I first saw these on the subway in New York City, now - I covet them. There's just something about them - comfy, rustic, fitting that alternative fashionista trend.

I know it's summer here in Australia... but I really, really want a pair. From Princess Di, to Kate Moss and the average Jane, they seem to be striking a rather fashion forward yet British-traditionalist chord.
Whatever your colour or cause - festivals, city block-hopping, mountain trekking, puddle-jumping or trend-setting - there's sure to be a style for you. From collaborations with Jimmy Choo, to short, heeled and snow styles; you can team these with Hunter's signature line of wellie socks to keep your toes even warmer.

These green Original Talls are just my caper.

They could take me anywhere, and I dare say I need a pair of wish wellingtons. You can find them and all their counterparts here.

It's a little late, due to my recent vacation, however, I'd like to introduce another weekly blog installment, for the fashion fiendette's out there. In another creative escapade of various perusals, I came across these sweet, sensual sets by Ulyana Sergeenko. Oh so feminine, with that subtle edge that takes the look that little bit higher.


Do you Vogue, darling?

Old Hollywood, a la Euro influenced glamour?

Premiere worthy.
