The Back of Beyond

Colourblind

(JAK&JIL, 4th and bleeker, fashiongonerouge, ffffound, ?)

A foolproof shortcut to a cool look and the perfect solution to "I-don't-have-anything-to-wear" days (or, indeed, nights) black, black, black and more black! Yes, I go crazy over colorful gypsy editorials, are drawn to sparkly sequins, obsess over soft pastels and love an animal print or two, but sometimes, less is more!

Black and white

(JAK&JIL, Garance Doré, H&M, Sex and the City, Matthew Williamson, ?)

So I've had this massive crush on everything leopardy for a long time, and I still love it, I do, but I've found myself getting more excited about the stripes then the dots lately. What do you think? Leopard or Zebra?

For Laura

"The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street."

Photps and quote by French photographer Robert Dooisneau (1912-1994)

Breakfast at Tiffany's

I know it's a bit of a cliché, but "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is one of my all time favorite movies, alongside "Sabrina" and "A Roman Holiday", which leads me to the conclusion that I must have some sort of a girl crush on Audrey, but you have to agree she is amazingly beautiful!
