Fairy Dust and Lollipops

The first, third and fourth images are taken from the amazing photography work from a tumblr entitled idiötéqúe, the creator is quick to state he is not an art student, though it's clearly evident he should be. The second image is of a 15 year old boy, Jesper,  from lookbook who instantly caught my eye with his cool trick-of-the-eye, psychedelic yet simple designed t-shirt; and I love the way his worn it; very new age rock 'n' roll.

My style is some how always torn between vintage/casual and avant garde/formal, and I think it sort of reflects my music taste which varies from nirvana to bombay bicycle club, bombay bicycle club to M.I.A and M.I.A. to Patti Smith. I can only began to imagine what people on my traditional (generic style) course think of my drastic change in style from day-to-day. The only probably with vintage is getting the right size, oh and making sure you look like you know how to wear it /pull it off. Avant garde/formal is my reset mode, for those "I can't be bothered", "time to switch it up a bit" or "I've out worn every vintage item I own" moments. What's your style like? :)

Perception

I've never been a Kelly Osbourne fan, purely for the fact that I felt she was trying to please too many people who weren't willing to budge on their stubborn stance of not liking who she was. Now years later after spending her entire awkward teenage years, under the infamous microscope of the callous media, she has finally evolved into the swan, she so deserved to be through her unflattering hair dye, wig fascination and her numerous accounts of dieting era that unjustly landed her in every paper known to Western society. Now, she seems proud of who she is and is not willing to conform to any aspirations placed before her, and it almost seems like she has found her identity amidst the continuous criticisms. I just hope she hasn't just become this stylish young woman because of her model (literally) boyfriend, either way I would applaud Kelly Osbourne.

Apart from the fact Ms. Deyn looks utterly amazing in this entire look, I think it's a look I would love to attempt without the ultra cool glasses (if you can call them that); the look is taken from Michael Kors spring '09 line.

I was completely in awe of these two looks when I saw them; I love the leather worn out jacket, which fits her form perfectly and gives her this laid back rock look. I really like how she is wearing light, soft colours  with the jacket and hasn't reached for the default look of chains and anything black. Note to self, experiment more with colour, look 2 is simply colour perfection; I wonder how long it took him to decide on those colours.

I'm not a huge fan of Agyness Deyn but when she was with Albert Hammond Jr. I was infactuated with her style, because in my eyes Albert Hammond Jr. is the male version of Alexa Chung, he just always seems to be cool not matter where he is or what he is doing; and I think his style influenced Deyn and I somehow began noticing her style more.

What's wrong if blazers are still in? They can make you look formal and casual at the same time. In the above images, boots seem to be the best combination with blazers. I think it's because it provides that level of informality that instantly takes you out of the pigeon hole of being a 'suit' without having to trendy wear heels for the extra height. Yet, I do love the look of the flat shoes, with the use of jeans for the casualness, but why patent, am I just out of touch on that trend?
