Style-o-nomics 101: spring trend alert!!!

Hey my luvs...just found this image of Victoria Beckham rockin' Balmain. The look is so ON for the season, my dears...take note:

So here we have bleach-splattered jeans and a tough leather blazer with edgy structured shoulder padding. A very rocker-chic-still-about-her-business-though look...lol!

Now, you can switch it up and instead of the tailored blazer you can go for the boyfriend blazer where the fit is more relaxed and slightly oversized. Also the length of the jeans can be shorter, more of a capri instead of skinnys. One more thing...PLATFORM sandals can top the look of like a cherry on a sundae!!!

Holla at cha gryl...I mean lady...lol!!!!

INSPIRATION OF THE DAY: Peter Lindbergh Photography

LINDBERGH'S FACES OF FASHION: Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Tatjana Patitz, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford

Bet, you can't remember what fashion magazine cover/issue this iconic image is from!!! Who knows their stuff and what happened to the SUPERMODEL era?...

FIERCE Gisele Bundchen in the April 09 issue of Harper's Bazaar

This is such a classic shot remenicensent of the infamous Josephine Baker...Naomi nailed this shot back in 1988!
Another classic shot that makes me giddy...for three reasons: my favorite SUPERmodels, the motocycles, and the BACKDROP of this image is, of course, home sweet home...BROOKLYN, NY!!!

Peter Lindbergh's subtle dramatic b/w images are so raw, gritty yet real and beautiful to me. Check out the April Issue of Harper's Bazaar to see more of his recent work!
