Claudia Schiffer for Vogue UK, April 2009

I absolutely love this photo of Claudia in the latest issue of Vogue UK, She looks fierce. Not to mention she's 38, I hope that when I hit that age, I can manage to look half as hot. She is wearing a Lowew pilot cap and ripped Balmain jeans.

An art-filled day

I know these last few posts haven't really been about fashion, but I go back and forth. I have a passion for both and it's what I do best. So last Wednesday my Art class and I took a trip down to the Vancouver art Gallery and saw the abstract exhibit. It was marvelous, all of the urban art work and sculptures, the magnificent bright pigments of the colours, the animations, everything was spectacular. After the Art gallery, we went to Granville Island where we had lunch at the market, I had some very good sushi...We went into Kroma where the owner explained how they mix their pigments and what paint is essentially made of(rare gem stones!..but now a days it's all chemically made)And after that we met an artist who does mainly sculpture out of all wood, and then paints his pieces with a metallic finish(some of his art work is below).It was a fantastic day.

My new Obsession:

Audrey Kawasaki







I love her work, her pieces speak for themselves. The themes in Audrey Kawasaki's work are contradictions within themselves. Her work is both innocent and erotic. Each subject is attractive yet disturbing. Audrey's precise technical style is at once influenced by both manga comics and Art Nouveau. Her sharp graphic imagery is combined with the natural grain of the wood panels she paints on, bringing an unexpected warmth to enigmatic subject matter.

The figures she paints are seductive and contain an air of melancholy. They exist in their own sensually esoteric realm, yet at the same time present a sense of accessibility that draws the observer to them. These mysterious young women captivate with the direct stare of their bedroom eyes.

Pay Attention to me!

Hey guys! Check out this amazing site I came across today

Fashion


I will be starting to post a new site I find every day.

Daisy Lowe

I am completely infatuated with this London It-girl.
I adore her style and unique look.
She is a bombshell, and she has, quite simply, the best walk: confident and proud," says designer Vivienne Westwood of her current muse, Daisy Lowe. "She looks super sexy all the time, and she is one of those lucky girls who never needs to be anything but herself." It seemed as though the 19-year-old Lowe was destined to be an original from day one: She was famously conceived during a one-night stand between British indie musician Pearl Lowe and future rock god Gavin Rossdale. But the younger Lowe got into modeling without the help of her bloodline—at 14, she was noticed by a scout in a London shop. In virtually no time, Lowe's voluptuous body had her walking the runway for luxury labels like Burberry, Chanel, and, of course, Westwood. Today Lowe splits her time between her apartment in New York City's East Village, her mother's cottage in the sleepy English countryside, and her grandmother's place in London. While her recent love life (she's been tied to Mark Ronson, Will Cameron, and Josh Hartnett) and social calendar have kept her very busy, Lowe still has her eye on work. "I'm back in Agent Provocateur for the second time," she says, "and I'm doing Converse and Karen Millen." Any ambitions to make her name in the music world? "I'll stick to Guitar Hero for now," she says.

Shoes, shoes, shoes!

I am absolutely intrigued by these shoes right here.
I went boxing day shopping after I got off work, and I went into Joneve, One of my favorite stores. I found these babies right here. My future goal is to buy these! But first, I would need to save, and saving money isn't one of my strong suits..

Polyvore!

Since I have discovered this site, I have been So in LOVE with it.
It's great.
You can sign up for free, and then you basically can create these collages of different pieces of clothing to make art(out of Fashion!).
So far I have made only a few and you are provided with the items and where they came from, It's great. I love piecing the items together.
Here are some of mine:

Hello

Hey guys,
I`m new, so let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I LOVE fashion, I like to look at it as an art form.
I love all the new trends(well most of them) but at the same time, I like to think I have my own look and unique style.
Shopping is my addiction, it's the only reason I`m always broke.
Honestly, I could shop every day all day.
Urban outfitters, Aldo, Joneve, Aritzia and Le chateau are my favorite stores.
I also very much enjoy thrift store shopping, I find it best at times, if I can get my hands on something really special.
