Summer moodboard

First of all, I got a new Chanel watch!

Unfortunately, it was made out of glossy paper.

But all was well because I got a pair of Carrera sunglasses!

My new pair of oversized shades didn’t last too long either…

What’s all this nonsense? I made my first moodboard! Like a collage, but more emotive of the artist’s current state of mind/ style. I made it for Jane Aldridge of Sea of Shoes’ Style Yourself Moodboard Contest.

Here it was in the process of completion:

And here it is complete! I used photos from H&M Magazine, Canadian Art magazine and lookbooks from Holt Renfrew/Mango/Shops at Bayview Village/ Anthropologie.

I’ve been feeling the breezy, flowy side of things lately, hence the brown maxi dress on the bottom right corner, the translucent yellow top on the upper right corner and the dusty pink skirt from Mango. I’m loving the colours grey, rose and tan! Prints wise-romantic florals. Pops of green and orange are cute too and so are thick, structured circle scarves (anything that drapes and I can wrap around, really!) I used clips of all the seasons, because the weather lately has been pretty unpredictable. I slept outside in a tent in 17°C weather so wool is practical during the middle of August!

Wish me luck! The contest winners are announced on Thursday!

Scarlett Mango

When I went to the Mango store in Montreal, I picked up one of their lookbooks. And there was no one other than ScarJo on the cover!

The blown-up colours and lighting in the mini-editorial made the trees and grass look artificial. I loved the look of everything and especially loved this spread of her:

The colours of the sunglasses compliment the colours of the sweater and the pose is cute. However, I don’t think the angles of those shades fit in with Scarlett’s face shape.

Then there was a mini-editorial titled, “Micky Green” dedicated to the named singer. My favourite look was the denim outfit.

The jean top looks like it has some stiff, shimmery fiber weaved into it.

The final section was “Nude” with rosy makeup and obvious floral inspirations.

I kept on flipping and towards the end, I saw a movie poster. At least I thought it was one.

Deceiving isn’t it? You can watch the webisodes here: http://shop.mango.com/flash.faces?state=she_404_IN. Pile on the cheese!

No seriously, you get free extra cheese when you click that link.  You can tell that some “actresses” were chosen for looks over skill. LIKE ITS REALLY FREAKING OBVIOUS.
