Celestine Cooney

This Irish stylist now resides in London as the fashion director of the bi-annual Twin Magazine and a contributor to Dazed & Confused magazine. I love how there is a perfect balance of quirkiness and beauty portrayed in her styling. 

 

petra collins

A photographer/painter from Toronto, Petra Collins, has really been creating buzz with her creative work these days. I love how her images always have a raw Lolita like quality to them. Very dream-like with a touch of darkness. There is often controversy surrounding her use of nudity and sexuality, but I've personally always loved that aspect added into a photo. She curates the website the Ardorous (which is derived from one of my favorite words - ardor - it means passion/intensity/ferver), which is quite inspiring so I recommend checking it out and discovering some new young artists.
Here are a few of my favorite shots from her work.

baseball inspiration...

The iconic baseball jacket has been popping up in a few different street style blogs lately and it's really intrigued me. I'm on the fence on how I feel about the jacket, but I think that's what has also made me so interested in it. It almost poses as a challenge to style into an outfit... and I'm always up for that.

Suit Up

Some editorial photos from our new favorite Australian swimwear designer, We Are Handsome. It's mix of their 2011 and 2012 collections but we just have a thing for a suit with a wild animal on it. Meow!
