Model Inspiration

I am pretty sure that I am behind the times on the Alexa Chung craze. 
but after checking out her line for Madewell, I had to learn more about her. 
I am totally digging her tomboy style and especially this look


velvet shorts, rain boots and plaid scarf... 
what a good looking uniform. 
but apparently everyone else is really digging this style too, 
since only 3 pieces of her whole collection remain on the site. 

Here is a little bit more Alexa Chung inspiration as she hangs out in Williamsburg, NY.

New Autumn Palette

New arrivals keep coming at Fleur and last weeks boasted a fresh fall palette. 
I took a minute to think about what is inspiring the designers.
Dragon fruit, grey skies influence the flirty ruffles of Hunter Dixon's tops.
And bright pomegranates and robin's egg blues keep Paul and Joe Sister pieces exciting and cheery. 


I can't wait to see what comes in next!

Inspire Me

Today I am looking for inspiration. 
Inspiration for a hobby, for a delicious dinner idea, or just for figuring out what I am going to put on in the morning. 
I think I need to just take some time to explore the world and create a wall of items that spark my interest like Harvey Faircloth's. 


I am endlessly awed by their inspiration, so I decided to learn a little bit more.
This is what I found on Linkdin: 

"HARVEY FAIRCLOTH is dedicated to creating spirited, off-kilter classics for modern women. The fearless creators are friends from the American west: Katie Hatch, Abby Clawson Low and Mara Papa whose forebearers were pioneers, rodeo queens, barrel-racers and goldminers, making them tough and unafraid of hard work and high temperatures. You could say that their impossibly chic and razor-sharp clothing has a certain plucky, pioneering spirit. They were also the kinds of girls who spent lots of time with their noses in books, learning classical languages and minding their manners. This is what you might call a beautiful contradiction. And this is really the idea behind HARVEY FAIRCLOTH"

How cool do they sound...
What are you inspired by?
