new notebook...

Last Friday was the day of a new notebook. This one's a long sketchbook with the spiral rings at the top. I feel like quite the stylist when toting around my little 'lookbook'.  Here's one of my favorite pages for a Sunday-morning inspiration...

I found some great full-page looks in the December 09' issue of Elle, (covergirl=SJP.) I LOVE the super-soft seafoam green high waisted pants with a loose blazer of the first look. But...is that flattering? OK - this is going to sound odd, but...: I've never seen a pair of these trousers from behind. The effects arn't similar to the awful bum-elongation of  "mom-jeans" are they? I doubt that...but I'm not sure. Anyways, aside from bums, that model is a definite hair-inspiration for me...I'm thinking about a touch of platinum...more on that once I decide, (and convince my mum...)

I found a few vintage brooches at a local thrift joint, but these, (taken from the December VOGUE), are just so shiny and pretty and clean. The pearl one pictured is a great oddity, (and it kinda makes me feel like a mermaid...)

I love mermaids. Ariel, the red-headed Disney princess of the deep, was a huge influence on my style choices as a youngster....ha.
