Klein :: DIY Style

In DIY, Inspiration on November 30, 2011 at 2:54 PM

an electrician turned me on to my new obsession. no, really.

Klein Tools, established in 1857 is the leading name in trade tools, accessories and the devices used to carry them all around in.

i picked up my new “clutches”, aka Canvas Zipper Bags, at a local Home Depot- but you can also find them at ACE Hardware and online- where the selection is greater. for summer I chose to use brighter fabric paint- but stay tuned for my upcoming styles for winter!

:: photographs taken at my parents house this summer in Vermont.

:: next up for me? The leather zip-bag and the 24″ Canvas tool bag with vinyl bottom, minus the fabric paint (so not needed on these classic silhouettes). Perfect to house my stylist kit and essentials, and super durable for travel!

Giovanna portrays quintessential chic. she is unbelievably natural in her stylistic choices to the point that she makes every woman think that maybe looking this amazing could be easy.

Hommage a Wim

In Fashion, Inspiration, Magazine, Models, Photography on August 23, 2011 at 10:38 AM

i am in love. Daphne Groeneveld and french actor Pascal Greggory are shot by Peter Lindberg and styled by Irina Marie in this breathtaking editorial for the September issue No. 126 of Numero Magazine, Hommage a Wim (Tribute to Wim).

amid clouds and a wind-induced deserted boardwalk, Daphne appears as an angel unable to leave earth and the one she loves. the chemistry is amazing and jumps off the page. i honestly can’t look at these images enough.

Nickelson Wooster

In Fashion, Inspiration, menswear, Style on August 18, 2011 at 12:12 PM

when I think of Nickelson images are conjured up of grey hair, a heavy mustache, tattoo sleeves and one amazing calf. tell me the last fatherly-aged, grey haired, mustached man you were this attracted to?

a daper gentleman, Wooster is both masculine and elegant at the same time. a poise and style all his own, street style photographers are never disappointed by Nick’s exposure to his tatted up arms, buttoned up collars or ever changing specs. craving more Nickelson? check out this interview with the “street style demi-god” on GQ and his inspiring Tumblr here.
