Blast From the Past

Ever since the cave people started wearing loin cloths and furs, we humans have had fashion history. This week's roundup delves into the past and how it has inspired our future. From the swinging 60's impact on sunglasses, to a look at Eurovision's pop music style evolution. For those of us who can't get to the MET one blogger shares her experience and for those of us who haven't yet seen the Great Gatsby, we have a look into Gatsby style in the mix there as well. So get your cup of tea, reflect on years gone by and check out these links!

Minimalism

What the hell is minimalism? I'm going to take it straight out of the dictionary for you.

1. A school that emphasizes extreme simplification of form, as by the use of basic shapes and monochromatic palettes of primary colors, objectivity, and anonymity of style.

2. Use of the fewest and barest essentials or elements, as in the arts, literature, or design.

3. design or style in which the simplest and fewest elements are used to create the maximum effect.

Okay so I've tailored it a little bit to relate it to fashion but the thought is the same. Basically eliminate anything that isn't essential. As time goes by, I'm seeing that all we end up with is the minimal, whether that be in life, or fashion, or anything really. The concept is so intriguing to me, and that is probably because it rings so true to nature. As much as we can dress it up and embellish it and then call it beauty, it will eventually come back to 'simple is best'.

Declutter. I dare you.

Photoshoot: Camo Sport Luxe

If you've been following what I've been up to recently, you would probably know about this shoot! You can see previous looks Americat (here) and Three of Something (here)
I was really going to for a sporty luxe look here but added the camo in for good measure. My favourite piece in the overall look is the sequin shorts, as soon as I saw them I was like we must have these. I do have a thing for sequins that I just can't seem to shake (see here). Needless to say I also fell absolutely in love with the FRESH beanie and I even bought my own. I think this look in general is really just fun and extremely street, it definitely goes well with the graffiti backdrop.
Styling: Samira and Serra
Model: Tasha Ross
Photographer: Aneita Yang
