Sundayy

It's Sunday already! The weekend past very quickly, but I'm happy because I got tons of stuff and homework done. I haven't really done any fashion posts lately, so here's one. The first two images are collages I made awhile ago. Unfortunately, I'm not sure of some of the sources...
from left to right: unknown, unknown, unknown, Jimi Hendrix, via fashion intuition, unknown, Mick Jagger, Complot via 10 muses,

From left to right: Alexander Wang, Erin Wasson, Betty Carter, unknown, via Gold Dust Women, Missoni, Stockholm Street Style,

I have no clue where this pic is from, but I love the patterns and colors of this look.

Simple, yet effective. caroline.feber.se

I don't know where this is either, but it's a great example of layering with wardrobe basics. Anna Sui Fall 09.


Fendi Fall 09. Love the textures and dark colors. I love this collection. via Style.com

Dark and Light

I've woken up earlier today to get some homework done. I am currently working on an art assignment and although I dislike the class, I'm really happy to discover new types of art, such as Chiaroscuro. Colors and lack of colors fascinate me.
Bright colors against light or grey backgrounds. Euginio Recuenco and The Selby.

Black and White
This is a black and white collage I made using images from tons of different sources. The image at the bottom center is by the blogger Igor and Andre, the bottom right is from Le Love.





Chiaroscuro- technique from Renaissance and Baroque periods where light and dark is used. The figures are always painted in lighter colors against a dark background to create a dramatic impact.

The Inspiration of St. Matthew by Carravagio and Salome with Head of John the Baptiste by Godfried Schalcken

Light and Dark
This image is from Adeline Rapon which is a great way of showing contrast. It reminds me of the Brand New album cover for The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me by Nicholas Prior. If you haven't listen to this album, I greatly suggest you do because it's one of my favorites.

Cold

I had to scrape off ice from my car this morning! It's definitely winter soon... that's a scary thought. Below are some images that I love to look at...

So cute from Notebook Doodles. I always love her collages.

This is one of the shots from Krysten Ritter's home shot by the Selby.
I don't know where the next three pics are from but they're fantastic.

Love, love, love this hair!

P.S. I can't stop listening to "A Prayer for my Family" by Mccoy Tyner.
