Magazine vs Real Life

Yesterday I did a post on a photo shoot from T magazine (The New York Times Style magazine), so I was very interested to see an image of Keira Knightley today wearing one of the pieces from the shoot.  Who wears it better?? 

Romance

I love the soft romantic lighting in these pretty images of Jacquelyn Jablonski for T Style magazine 2010.

Autumn

It is the second day of autumn today and although the weather is still warm I am excited already about upcoming cool, crisp mornings and turning of the leaves. 

Friday Night Drinks

Tonight I am in the mood to drink a Black Russian, the alcoholic coffee mix is the perfect start to a Friday night.  This sequinned dress on Kate Moss above would be a gorgeous outfit and this bar in St Petersberg looks like a great place to enjoy it. Happy Friday.

Black Russian

Vodka

Coffee Liquer

Ice

Mix 3 parts vodka to two part coffee liquer and pour over ice.  Enjoy.

Closet

In addition to the Maiden Luxe label, I am lucky to have two boutiques in Melbourne Australia and am very excited to anounce that we are developing a section of our High Street Armadale store to include vintage couture and designer. With garments currently arriving from Dior, Missoni, Oscar de la Renta, Chloe, Versace and Valentino (to name a few) Im very excited about the new venture. You can find out more at our brand new blog http://www.closetmelbourne.blogspot.com/ where we will regularly post details of new arrivals before they hit the store floor. This new section of the Armadale store opens at the start of April 2010.

Still Life

I love the fusion of still life and real life in these images of Sophie Vlaming for Dossier magazine.

Amica

I adore the strong dance inspired poses in this series of images of model Marsha Kirsanova for Amica Italy March 2010 edition.
