Scrap Bookin' #3






You guys might know that I love a bit of scrap-booking, especially sneaking a peek in other peoples' books. Here are some of my most recent additions to my book. I try and categorise pages into different things, whether it's a colour, a trend or how different make-up looks are styled. My favourite pages always change, but right now it's the image above, because I think both images are so darn beautiful. From the hair to the beauty look (quite understated, the way I tend to do my own make up) and the styling. Basically, everything about them.

Sport-Luxe: A Work in Progress



If there's one trend I love at the moment it's Sport-Luxe. This is kind of ironic because if you know me, you'll know I'm not particularly sporty... But something about the simple silhouettes and heels really appeals to me. I got out my beloved scrap book to document it, of course. Here are some close ups...



These pages are still works in progress but I wanted to share them with you! By the time I'm done the pages will be full! My favourite image is definitely from the S/S13 ads for DKNY. I love the bright primary colours in the collection and the textures leather is gorgeous! Click here for some more images from my scrap book!
I've seen lots of other bloggers with sport-luxe inspired outfits so it's obviously quite a popular trend. What do you guys think?

What Inspires You?

Over the past year or two I've been keeping a scrap book. It started out simply as something to put in  everything I saw in magazines which I liked, and something to do on a rainy day. However, due to many, many rainy days, it's become something more than that now.

I have slowly built up a catalogue of trends. It works as a reference book for me on which trends are/ have been popular and how people wear these trends. I still have cuttings of things I love, be it an article, some photography or an advertising campaign which has caught my eye.

One of my biggest sources of inspiration are blogs. Favourites include The Sartorialist, We Wore What and Views of Now, but these are only a few! The next biggest thing to inspire me are magazines! Harper's Bazaar is a favourite of mine. 

I wondered what inspires you all? Is it TV and Film, Magazines, Blogs, Photography? This post is purely in regards to style and fashion, but I want to know who inspires you, not just in what you wear but in what you stand for. Comment below!
