THE CHARMED ONES: WAXING LYRICAL ABOUT THESE BEAUTIES

On my radar for a while are these stunning wax seal pendants by the talented Jessica De Lotz, I love the vintage & nostalgic vibe of each piece. When you look at these pendants it's almost as if there's a story to tell. The mixed metals add a little je ne sais quoi, and the fact that you can layer these pieces makes it all that more special. J'adore!

SMOKIN' HOT FRIDAYS: HELENA CHRISTENSEN FOR ELLE SPAIN MAY 2013

As someone who loved the old school era of supermodels, I did get blown away by one rather smoking hot Helena Christensen, I mean WOW, she's still got it! What an ageless beauty!
I do however feel like I'm in need of a serious sunshine ridden holiday though, having seen this shoot!
This cover shoot for Elle Spain, May 2013 was shot by Xavi Gordo & styled by Inmaculada Jimenez, you can view the entire shoot here via Fashion Gone Rogue.

 I kinda love that this close up hasn't really been photoshopped to death and back, she looks gorgeous!

Happy Weekend lovelies!

THE POWER OF PAPER: SAY HELLO TO DIOR-ESQUE GOWNS

Looking at this beautiful shoot, would you have guessed these outfits were made entirely out of paper?
This stunning editorial was photographed by Iban Montero, titled Limited Paper in the style of iconic photographer Richard Avedon.

These extraordinary paper creations were by stylist and designer Ane Lopez, I'm literally blown away by the sophisticated craftiness! Impossibly chic, no?

 Love the sculpted hair and arched brows too!

Funnily enough, this does remind me of the days when we made toiles out of paper (one side dotted) and pinned those to mannequins, I wonder what they would have looked like on an actual person! At one point, I was also obsessed with paper-like fabric from Berwick street, only problem was, if you'd made a mistake you would see a train of holes! Oops.

Cut price couture! Just love this!
