You're The Only One That Knows.

Things are quite crazy around here! School is kicking my butt! A midterm last week, two this week, and 3 major projects in three weeks... I apologize for the lack of updates, I will try my best to resume to normal posting by Thursday. I've got lots of outfit posts archived! Until then, you can count on my tumblr for current inspiration!

Tumblr Tuesday.

If you want a bonafide work avoiding technique, log on to Tumblr. The site is kind of addicting!

An extensive stream of what inspires me (incl these images), you can find me on tumblr here (and on twitter @styleisstyle)

Pop Up!

I think by now everyone knows that Hannah Metz is a big girl crush of mine! I wish I was in L.A. in February when The Loved One had a pop-up shop. Vintage wares, gin, flowers, pretty undies, and a dreamy girl on a swing?!? Looks like a dreamland to me!

photos: the loved one pop up, space 15twenty.

In other news: Flipping through the latest issue of N.E.E.T. I was surprised to see my photo in the Global Fashion feature on page 224! Thanks for the feature :) Read the issue here...

Also, I now have a tumblr and twitter! There are lots of images I see around the internet that I really love, but I don't want to drown this blog in overposting. Hence me caving and finally getting a tumblr! I'm still a little new to both sites, so forgive any faux pas please...


{ glamourai diy } the old bow and chain

recently, on my DIY idea tumblr, i posted pics of bow-bedecked chain handle bags from lanvin and marni, and pledged to pick a bag from my personal collection to be-ribbon.

this normally neglected, vintage morris moskovitz fur purse was perfect for the project:

{ABOVE: BEFORE}

i wove a bias silk ribbon through a little over half the gold chain handle {just enough so it would crest over my shoulder when worn}, braided the remainder with a smaller brass chain...

{ABOVE + BELOW: AFTER}

...then finished the ribbon ends with my favorite fanciful flourish ~ floppy bows!


i am thrilled with the results of this fun and easy project, and can't wait to wear my newly improved {so much better} bag!

{ links a lot } friday the thirteenth

this has been a crazy week over on mount glamouramous ~ thus the slowdown in posting. things should be back to normal before you know it, but in the meantime i thought i'd share a few of this week's hippest happenings...

  • i met laurakitty, a photo blogger who lives but a block from me and owns no less that 60 vintage ossie clark dresses! as a result, i experienced extreme jealousy, and now plan to infiltrate her apartment and execute epic thievery.
  • need some craft-spiration to brighten up your dark winter days? i started a tumblr blog to keep track of all the DIY ideas i want to try.
  • suddenly sucked into the virtual vortex that is ruelala, i've been on bargain-buying binges that begat marc jacobs cashmeres and wolford hosiery. email me {theglamourai@gmail.com} if you'd like an invitation to shop along!
~ how was your week? ~

Chartreuse, Black & White















The beautiful soft chartreuse velvet sofa, bold black shelves and unique side table in #1 all work together so well. (NZ designer Liz Stringer's house, photographed by Nicola Edmonds for Fashion NZ)  

Have you tried grouping black and white photographs on the wall similar to the last image? I'm going to attempt it ... but I will use old family photographs in all different types of vintage frames...wish me luck.
