Colenimo S/S 2013

Photos from Honey Kennedy.

Here's a spring/summer collection straight out of my dreams. It's by Colenimo and called "Little Miss Poker Face", inspired by Helen Wills Moody, a famous tennis player in the 20s and 30s. I love the preppy, English feel to the whole thing, and the mix of menswear with really practical fabrics. Such a great collection from Colenimo once again!

Nygards Anna

Since we're coming fresh off the Teddy Girl topic, I figured, what better time to share more menswear/Edwardian-ish inspiration? I know I'm a broken record about this show, but I sincerely blame Deadwood for all of my style choices right now. It's really not all Deadwood's fault – my heart has always been drawn to western/boyish things – but the show has definitely been a major influence on a lot of the menswear looks I've been paying attention to lately.

This set of photos is as old as the show itself – from sometime in 2007 – but the lookbook was just too irresistible to pass up. It's from Swedish label, Nygards Anna, and upon visiting their site, I fell in love with not only their latest lookbook but all of the clothes in it, too. You can find it on their website. Good stuff all around!

Tumblr Inspiration

1. Nordstrom Boots 2. Suspender Blouse 3. Children in Art History 4. Altamira: Models Off Duty

I found some extra time to edit those photos I was talking about yesterday, but when I got them opened in photoshop, I realized that the camera setting were all jacked up when I took the photos; hence, more onine inspiration! I've said it before (and I'm gonna say it again), my tumblr has been an immense source of inspiration for me lately. It gives me reason to delve deep into the internet in search of inspiration, and it's helping me understand the type of photography and outfits that I really like.

I'm so painfully in love with the look from Altamira: Models Off Duty. The boots in combination with that neutral color palette and such great cold weather materials... love, love, love! The painting is from the late 1800's, and it's so strikingly similar to the other look that it almost looks like the off duty models outfit was inspired by it. Those are the kinds of things I'm noticing on tumblr. Little similarities that reiterate all the things I love.
