Lola Re & The Whatnot

HEY, I LIKE YOUR DRESS

I've been sipping roasted twig tea and browsing the net, and in true gamine style, I love the dresses I've found here on gamine.co.kr.

However, I realise that my body type is more curvy, so I'd probably look better in one of these sexier dresses from modcloth.com

THIS IS NICE

Opening Ceremony Fishtail Tee featured on LaGarconne.com. Definitely gamine.

BUTLER AND WILSON COSTUMER JEWELLRY

I like this bling-- as usual, I'm mostly into the earrings and necklaces. Rings and bracelets make me feel claustophobic lol.

Ragamuffin can't afford it!!!!!

So, LaGarconne.com and Net-a-Porter.com are having "sales". Here are the pieces I'd get if.... they weren't still so damn expensive. :o) Gotta keep loving the clothes though-- really, how could I stray???

Inspiration: La Vague A Lames

Vanessa Paradis is a big inspiration for me; I love the moodiness and feeling of being lost this video invokes. It's like a cloudy day...

CHIC ME

My dear Sugar Daddy,
Here are some products I'm going to buy myself. ;-)

YSL BABY DOLL EAU DE TOILETTE
I've been searching for a citrusy scent for a while to add to my collection and this one is perfect. It smells like sweet grapefruit mixed with gentle floral undercurrents. I'll probably layer it with my Stella McCartney, which is a classic scent I always have in my collection.

KOSE MEDICATED SEKKISEI HERBAL ESTHETIC
This mask/massage cream contains 10 Chinese herbs which help to even out skin tone as well as soften and condition the skin. I've heard a lot of great things about Kose, so I'm excited to try this Japanese skincare brand.

SHISEIDO TSUBAKI CONDITIONER FOR DRY OR DAMAGED HAIR
With Japanese camelia oil, this rich conditioner is perfect for my dry hair. I want to use it for conditioner washes and to smooth the ends of my hair during styling. It smells yummy, too. :o)

What are you going to treat yourself with?

Proenza Schouler PS1 vs River Island Men's Bags

The Proenza Schouler PS1 Bag is my dream. In the meantime though, River Island's men's bag collection might just tide me over. Compare, crickets.

Living in London really helps you to realise the connection between fashion and music. I wanted to do a Dooder City-esque post on some musicians who I love, who definitely influenced my ideas of fashion and style. Of course, the 60s and the idea that we can be modern and responsible and form a community as young people have really influenced me, and the music reflected that. Then, musicians like Tom Waits (well, all these artists, really) show that you can be an individual and stay true to your art. You can do something different, and when you do, you become even more a part of your community, because you inspire others to be themselves and you all go through things together.

Click on the thumbnails below to see a full-sized version of the photographs. And, visit proud.co.uk for more iconic images of musicians who have influenced both fashion and society.
