My creative journey

I love following fashion - high fashion, street style, drag, you name it, it interests me. I have a few places I look for inspiration (books, magazine, websites) and one of my favourites is tokyofashion.com    an online magazine devoted to clothing, accessories, and style in Tokyo, Japan. I have a few looks that I have been inspired by in the last few weeks one of which is this one.... Harajuku Girl in All Black Fashion w/ Faith Tokyo, Vivienne Westwood & Vintage Items All black was always going to appeal to my aesthetic but so did the mix of modern and vintage pieces and the masculine cut of the trousers with the famine lacy camisole. I was so inspired I have been trawling the interwebs to pick a few pieces that you could put together to achieve a somewhat similar look Do you like this look and my choices? Where do you look for your outfit inspiration? Tessa 

My top picks from the board are the Huda Beauty  Textured Shadows Palette - Rose Gold Edition* , the Lime Crime Velve-tin and the  Grey Velvet V Neck Slip Dress * The illustration was purchased from  LaBellaCiambella on Etsy* Tessa 

Now that we are post Christmas I am starting to think about the fashion and beauty trends for S/S 2017 and have spent many hours browsing Vogue for catwalk pictures from designers big and small. I was then separately browsing Pinterest  (as you can do for hours on end) for collage artists (my new obsession) and stumbled upon this picture which I later found out was by Miles Donovan.

The varying shades of grey will cool yellows and khakis are beautifully offset by the warm reds used around the eyes. This is a colour palette I could incorporate into my wardrobe and makeup this season quite comfortably as it is not too far of a departure from the dark greys (and blacks) that I wear on a daily basis.

Like 99.9% of the population, Stranger Things quickly became one of my favourite Netflix Shows along side  mockumentary what we do in the shadows. I think I have subsequently spent as long browsing Etsy to find show memorabilia  as I did watching the shows and as I prepare for a long weekend of Netflix viewing I thought I would share a few of my favourites to adorn myself and my walls. Do you have any Netflix recommendations ? Tessa Twitter  //  Bloglovin  //  Pinterest   //  Instagram  //  Facebook
