Matthew Williamson Pre-Fall '12






Matthew Williamson showed his talents in his Pre Fall collection, with the colours, textures and shapes it was hard to pin point my favourite look. I am in love with the the printed pants though (and I really hope they make their way into my closet....)

Carven Pre-Fall '12


Carven’s Pre-Fall 2012 Collection was heavily inspired by the 60's working woman. The collection consists of knee-length a-line skirts, shift dresses, contrast Peter Pan collared blouses with matching jackets and cardigans. The dominating hues ranged from mustard and violet to turquoise and various icey blues. The striking accessories stood out against the pieces, as the round clutches channel the upcoming trend of unconventional shapes for handbags this year. This collection also features simple pointy-toed pumps and futuristic shiny flatforms by Robert Clergerie.Key pieces from the collection included cable knit sweaters, and a-line mini skirts.          
Creative Director of Carven Guillaume Henry was inspired by photographer Diane Arbus’s 1960's portraits of real women because he“…really wanted to get this feeling of the way they used to dress then in the ’60s…there was no question of age or social position.”

Sorry for the lack of posting, my computer died and it was too much to try and do a blog post and pictures off my phone! Anyhow I left Florence for big and better excitement...posts to come!

North and Middle Caicos















Yesterday I went to North and Middle Caicos to take some pictures for friends while they kitesurfed. I also got to use a pretty amazing camera! After the beach we drove around North Caicos and stopped to have some lunch.

Double Exposure Oil Paintings








At first glance you might think that these are photographs- but they are actually oil paintings. Pakayla Biehn  collaborates with photographers (who use a double exposure technique to create the photos) to create these stunning paintings. Very detailed and vivid the beautiful colours melt to create a surreal dream like image.
