// ELEVEN OBJECTS \\

Fall 2011

      I've fallen in love with these beautiful collars from Eleven Objects. 

I have always had a thing for pretty collars, especially those of the Peter Pan kind & in one of my many business ventures that I have thought of in my head (yet never seem to act upon), well clip on collars was one of them. So you can imagine how excited I was when I came across this website with a collection full of  beautiful collars made from delicious fabrics such as silk faille, lace and my favourite, calf hair. They are the perfect accessory to breathe new life into an old top or dress that you've fallen out of love with don't ya think!. 

Eleven Objects was started when two designer friends, Linh Thi Do and Christine Rhee, simultaneously decided that their wardrobes would be vastly improved by a different kind of accessory - you guessed it: Collars. Check out the 'Wear it' section on their website for inspiration on how to style yours. I'll take one in the tan ponyhair with rose gold studs please!

// GUEST POST BLAUBUSHKA STYLEEE \\

Blau von T from Blaubushka and The Hostess Handbook here. Blaubushka; an edgy scrapblog of fashion, style and beauty. The Hostess Handbook; a parlour of delicate beauty, a lounge of wit and the obscure, a kitchen of the kitsch and all things tempting.

Enter into the world of the wanton and the floral; a haven for ditsy prints, acid petals, digital darlings. These are a bunch of ladies of polished prettiness and easy charm. Theirs is a look of seductive understatement giving a ladylike silhouette and a vision of unguarded perfection as layers of floral fabric adorn their porcelain bodies. They favour vintage-inspired dresses and offset them with satchels, ankle boots, cable knit socks.....and the boy next door.

// ARM CANDY \\

Even though the fashion world is already wishing our summer away & already looking ahead to the Autumn/Winter collections, I am adamant in staying firmly in the here & now amongst the warmth of this summers biggest trend - PoP Colours. There are lots of delicious 'arm candy' treats for us out there at the moment with plenty of fun, bright pop & candy coloured bags/ satchels & clutches to choose from. They range from all sides of the Pantone spectrum & everywhere in between. From playful bubblegum pink & burnt sunset orange to the striking cobalt blue & mint coloured green. Whatever the colour bright and bold styles will 100% help infuse a little whimsy into your wardrobe this summer & as I mentioned in my 'I Hate Trends' post don’t be afraid to pair them with other spring colors, prints and patterns to create countless fun and flirty fashion possibilities this season.

Embrace the quirky trend & get you noticed for all the right reasons!!! ;)

// I HATE TRENDS \\

Sometimes it's nice to throw all inhibitions (& trends) out the window & just mish-mash whatever items/ materials/ patterns &/or colours together all in one outfit... below are a few examples I have chosen that got me excited!!!

So today/tomorrow when you are getting ready for your day ahead, why not throw a little caution-to-the-wind, mix things up a bit & see what you end up with (obviously a little bit of styling might need to be taken into consideration)...

Think like a little girl who is just about embark on a raid of her mothers wardrobe & play dress up for the day... do you think colour or item co-ordination would Ever enter their little heads... the answer to that would be a most definite No!!! ;)

If you do decide to mix things up with your wardrobe today, feel free to take a style pic & post it on the RoCkInFaShIoN facebook page to show us how you rocked the look  xoxo
