An ASOS Obsession

Pretty jewels, intricate belts, soft fabric, long flowly dresses, structured proportions and a step into a head turning room: welcome to my obsession of the online shopping world of ASOS!

I was never one to shop online when it came to clothes. I was the kind of person that needed to be involved in the whole process of buying an item where I had to feel the garment on me before a purchase. To figure out whether it was going to be a love/hate relationship based on my first bond with an item. Then, a good friend of mine introduced me to ASOS.

The moment I started browsing the store, it felt like love for the first time! I was drawn to the screen and I couldn't get enough! Page after page of beautiful garments...suitable for absolutely ANY occasion!

It was hard to say NO to purchasing! So I did it!. As a trial, I started of ordering 5 items as a part of me was still concerned about sizing, fabric and feel.

The day my order had arrived, I was unravelling the item like a kid on christmas day! I was so excited! To my surprise, everything fit perfectly and the fabric...AMAZING!

I have jumped on the ASOS bandwagon and I'm never heading off.

So I thought I'd share this site for those who are interested in taking a piece of asos: http://asos.com/

I can't wait to dip my foot in the sand and enjoy the beaches with family and friends! In saying so, I still need to find the perfect pair of swimmers! I was browsing online and came across designs by Anna & Boy.

Alexa Chung - Style Inspiration

Over the next couple of posts, you will find photo after photo of style inspiration from the celebrities and names I adore. After having a crazy 3 month shopping spree here in Sydney, I started to get lost through the clutter of clothes, shoes, bags and accessories I had purchased.

I stood in front of a very full and long wardrobe of clothes today, not knowing what to wear. I'm sure we've all had one of those days and it boy was it frustrating! I felt like I had writer block.

So rather than complaining about my current problem, I thought this was the perfect moment to find style inspiration from the celebrities, models and names that I adore and share it with readers. Sometimes, surfing the net, browsing blogs and stalking celebrities is all you need to get that fashion mojo back!

I am absolutely in love with Alexa Chung's ever so casual chic look. She always looks so effortlessly sophisticated and casual at the same time. From her free flowing hair down to her spidery long legs, Alexa's got a story to tell in all her outfits. She is the definition of Fashion Simplicity!

I'm loving this contrasted navy and white star top. It is definitely the piece that speaks to you first. Check out how she rolled her blouse and grey cardigan together. Something so small can do oh so much.

I am loving this feminine bikey look. Alexa is really into shapes and prints to make one part of her outfit. In this case the free flowing chiffon polka dot skirt, really complements her jacket and sunnies. This is definitely Bold and Beautiful.
Here, she is playing with both prints and texture. She looks so snug in that jumper against a skirt she could easily pull of if she goes to an event.

I am absolutely loving short boots and long socks rite now....especially cable knit socks.
Again, Alexa finds a bold print through scarves to make her outfit work. I am loving the grey man blazer here. She looks so comfortable
I am really loving the lace. It reminds me of a young ballerina girl - contemporised ofcourse! This looks amazing with the black stockings and shoes.
At a Perrier Event. Alexa looks simple and classic in this number, with overlaying necklaces finishing this classic look.

"To me, New York was Jackson Pollock sipping vodka and dripping paint onto a raw canvas." Edie Sedgewick

Edie Sedgwick (April 20, 1943 - November 16, 1971 was known as an American Actress, socialite, model and heiress and most importantly; she was famous for being Andy Warhol's muses.

I idolise her unique sense of fashion which went against what society considered to be acceptable at the time. Her uniformed look would consist of black leotards, mini dresses and large chandelier earrings.

Her sense of fashion then is still apparent till this very day with mini dresses and leotard storming at it's peak. I absolutely adore the photographs of Edie during her career. She always looked so natural and comfortable in her own skin despite her personal struggle with anorexia.

The photographs have inspired me to test out my manual film camera which my dad had passed on to me. I hope to be able create the same effect like the images you see hear.

Karl Lagerfeld

Besides practising my photographic work during my spare time, I have a love of reading biographies. Reading about people's lives and going through their journey to meet their dream is always so inpiring to me. It makes everything seem so reachable and everything impossible possible!

Today, I was reading Karl Lagerfeld. It all started off with Lagerfeld winning first prize at a wool contest, where he became Pierre Balmain's design assistant at a young age of 17. Three years in, he had become and art director for Jean Patou, wher he had deepen his knowledge in history, architecture, music and french.

Perfume had become as important as fashion for Lagerfeld, which had triggered him to launch "CHLOE" in 1975. His initiative made him the first designer to brand a scent globally before having a fashion label! After this success came more perfume labels to add to name.

By 1984, he created his own "KARL LAGERFELD" line whilst collaborating with the house of CHANEL and signed in new collaborations with CHLOE!

Like me, Karl Hagerfeld had a passion for photography and decided to move behind the lens in 1987 and build up his own advertising campaigns. These campaign had become part of a book and his talent led him to do photo shoots for prestigous magazines as one of his very many jobs.

Karl Lagerfeld is a man of many talents. His passion is what drove his success. He adapted more than one skill and used it to his advantage!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hope that one day....I will be just as talented as Lagerfeld himself!

Below are Karl Lagerfeld's most recent collection. They look absolutely divine!

Enjoy
