Barnyard Love

I am obsessed with these photos from the May Issue of Vogue Nippon. I love these photos for a variety of reasons.... first and foremost: the animals. I am a huge animal fan and barn lover, though admittedly of mostly an equine variety. But still, I love the mix of high fashion and high interior design mixed with the grungy farm yard vibe. Kind of in the same way that I love the mix of high and low fashion (cheap and high prices, casual and dressy pieces).
Secondly, I love the styling. The pieces are fantastic and are combined in a really eclectic and interesting way. My favourite of the photos is the one where she is wearing the black cut out dress... I WANT that dress. Or at least a knock-off version thankyouverymuch.
Lastly, I also love this shoot because Edita Vilkeviciute looks fabulous in each photo. She really nails the mood of the shoot. And that lilac lip colour on her? Fabulous.
All in all this shoot is what my dreams are made of. I want to live in this world please and thank you.

With love,
K.xx

Furociously Lacy

Something about fur and lace just appeal to me. Whether together, or seperate, there are just so many different ways to pull off each item. While making a statement on their own, they still fit so well together when pulled together in the right way. More than a trend to me, they represent a long-lost lifestyle full of glamour and intrigue, that just cannot be acheived in our modern era of mass media and pervasive reporters. My favourite fur look this season was an awesome fur skirt seen at one of the New York shows... I'm searching for it but unfortunately there are hundreds of photos to search through so for the moment some looks are posted above.

What do you think? Fur, yes? Lace, no? Both, yes? Wouldn't be caught dead in either?

Fur is definetly not for all, but for those that embrace fur with open arms remember, faux is always the way to go! :)
