the Exarchopoulos

Adele Exarchopoulos is so cool.
She's my age, an equally lovely and depressing fact, with an ability to wear clothes that rivals her faultless acting.
Yes, I'm always looking for the frivolity, but there is such a knack to looking un-styled.

-here's some convoluted, and in no way-related, inspiration cluttering up my desktop.

You to come to expect only the most polished and perfected of women to feature in a Versace campaign.

So it was nice to find, during a large bout of of procrastination, the Spring 1993 campaign featuring denim, chiffon, and seemingly natural hair and make-up. A dose of subtlety before the super humans took over.

I'm not complaining, the 'Supers' campaign of Fall 1994 might just be my favourite ever. (I say, whilst trying to work that mini and cropped knit combo in to my day to day wardrobe.)

Another favourite is Spring 2002 with Israeli-American model Sharon Garnish. The printed sarong and white boot combo, the tasseled leathers on the beach, a lesson in unapologetic sexiness if ever I saw one.

i want: an embroidered blouse

I love these 70's embroidered blouses.
As perfect with slip-on vans and a tan in the summer, as with denim and leather in the months leading up to it.
Natalia Vodianova's beautiful (and most probably, vintage) number is my favourite, with Isabel Marant's  tunic a close second as a dressier, evening counterpart. 
These three (1, 2, 3) are the closest to make the grade so far, all free people, and all hideously over priced.
I'll have to keep looking for something vintage (and affordable) to fill my bohemian cravings.

Got to love a passive aggressive notepad.
