put there together just like a collage...

I am slowly (but surely) working my way through issue two of FELT. My real work has taken it's toll and FELT has slowed down. But it has certainly not stopped. Hopefully some of you are thankful of this. Anyway, I have been searching for inspiration for the final section of the magazine which is all about icons of the everyday. I thought a mish-mash collage style would suit the idea perfectly but as some of you know when you set out to make a collage it can become contrived and no longer organic. I want this article to have a certain sleek element to it but I do not want to lose the vibrance you get from a homemade collage.

I have been collecting images from the great world of Pinterest (what a brilliant site for such things) to help cement the look and feel I want my imagery to have. As you can see they are all quite different but all suck you in and make you look twice. This is the vibe I want the imagery in the editorial to have because (in my opinion) that is what the article is all about. And since FELT is a fashion journal I thought the best thing to do was to include outfits of our home-grown bloggers within the collages. Let's just hope that this will work out... Please.

You know what, I would...

The VMAs was on sometime this week (I think Monday but I can't be sure) and as you know everyone was going silly over Lady Gaga's meat dress. Now other than thinking it looked dreadful I have no problem with it, I eat meat and if I did I would just be hypocritical (so she can feel cold and slimey all she likes).

A dress that she wore that should have gotten the attention is this beauty by the late Alexander McQueen. The headpiece is a tad (a lot) iffy and her hair should have been up but if I was to pick a dress from the VMAs this year to wear it would definitely be this. I mean, come on, it's gorgeous!!! 

Usually, I find, Lady Gaga's outfits interesting and maybe sometimes inspiring but rarely wearable. But I would definitely wear this (sans headpiece). And I think Vanity Fair shot this dress beautifully.

Fighting the masses...

I know she ain't everyones favourite person but I really like Drew Barrymore. And it came to my realisation yesterday that I always have...

I enjoy her in every movie I've seen her in. And I really like her style. Now, like everyone, she has had a few fashion hiccups but I am willing to over look them for her style is so interesting and not over done.

For her day looks she teams tailored pieces with ripped jeans, band tshirts with aztec beading and breton stripes with beanies. And her hair always has an element of I really couldn't care less (huge fan of that!).

For her night/red carpet looks she always has a vintage feel to her looks with a smidge of quirkiness...

I honestly think she is my new fashion icon...

Plus in the first collage she makes a brilliant facial expression (the one with the hair down and the biker jacket). It is kinda "I caught you looking but it's ok" (an odd remark I know but sure so you expect any less from me?).
