Browsing for Spring Shopping.


LookBook Blogger having a head spinning off  e-zine  magazine hunting with an hour forward .My blog posting is short and  close. My limbs are alright but it’s just too many thoughts stumbling upon  and then fascinated by  Ready to Wear range of Elephtheria  - a ground zero spring shopping. I  warranty I am not lazy bum so here is a glimpse of  my sweet little  shopping hunt for today .

The prints are OH-LA-LA , I love the pastels and lovely individuality of roses in  all over print .I just got hooked by moss green top.The lovely vintage inspired rose print top with cotton bound edges looks quite unique than typical high street offer.  It is also available in traditional black  rose vintage print fabric.The straight neckline of the tops perfectly wide to emphasize the collar bone ‘s beauty. 

Another smock style top with satin bound edges in peach pastel shade looks ravishing ,it can be customised with any choice of fabric available from Elephtheria range of fabrics. All these tops are handmade and customisable .

I am just going to stop browsing as I have decided my spring summer top  which is Moss Green Smock Top from Elephtheria. And here its in my shopping cart and delivery is FREE !!! :)  go and grab your piece .

Here is the LookBook of Elephtheria Couture Tops from her site Elephtheria.

Fashion comes and fashion fades but style remains the same

 Lookbook Fashioned in Corset.
Corsets been a fashionable key item of an outfit which has improved its technique of manufacturing ever since it came into existence. During 14 th and 15 th centuries corsets were lavishly ornamented with lace and jewels .
.Corsets or stays were not only worn by women but also children and men .By the early 18 th century whalebone was being used extensively and the improvements in moulding and making techniques were laying foundations for 19 th century corsets.Between 80’s and 90’s corsets got combined with great beauty.Typical corset model were boned with whalebone and split cane,having forty or more supports working in conjunction with shaped pieces and corded side sections. The garments were exquisitely made from lined back sateen with heavy embroideries in coloured cottons or silks.
All was handwork and for each corset there were often more than 30 supports stitched.1910 brought a revolution of colour when Symingtons introduced snowy white corset.
White corset success led to F.G.Cox ‘s introduction to a corset tinted to match the rose in the garden and resulted into shade of peach called “ Blush White “ . These corsets laid the foundation for “ Tea Rose “ colour.By 1914 corsets were so long that fashionable women were finding difficult to sit down and with war time such fashion started declining .After armistice Symingtons once again introduced a whole new range of colours  butterfly blue ,Persian mauve ,shell pink and wave green and as trends keep rolling the cycle and seasons ....

The LookBook of Anonymous Artist

LookBook Spots an Anonymous Artistwith WoodArt on a Tree
 
Its not an art exhibition or art studio I been to but just been out for my normal walk in War Memorial park ,Coventry .There while walking  I came across one big tree cut down with few wood carvings done on it by some anonymous figure. I am not art expert or know much on wood art but just like art in any format so stood there admiring the art on a tree and just thought to share about it with my blog readers.The artist behind this art work can be a lover of nature or maybe someone who specialises in designing and making art on wood. The art images looks like inspired by nature with depictions of insects and flowers.The art displays couple of bugs been carved then from there the artist elaborated a bug and leaf pattern.After that leaf pattern the artist seem to be flow fully in his imagination where everything is blooming surely artist is taken by spring here with so many flowers overlapping each other and then a large butterfly pattern looks stunningly artistic.By now artist behind this art on wood knows what he is upto and carves a beautiful pattern of leaves and stems adorned by large butterfly.Look at the detailing on leaves like veins looks how much effort and hard work involved in creating one leaf.Then from there his imagination takes the form of some human face with long hair and characteristic features of a man  to me it appeared more like dumbledore really but its whatever way you want to imagine this unknown artist.

I had a good walk and a moment of art out of blue for me became a bloggers delight to share it with my blog readers.The photos taken by me might have not done full justice with the artwork on tree as tree as well at a height for me to frame them into my phone camera .

Jumpsuits in ultra chic flair this Spring Summer 2011.

The LookBook of JumpSuits
The weather in midlands just been lovely and warm for the sun has finally shown its face here in Coventry. It’s well worth to talk about spring summer fashion 2011.Earlier on I just been talking about the Jumpsuits in The Lookbook Info website that how from mere a utility workwear garment it got adopted as a fashion outfit and got affirmation of stage performers and Pop Stars of the time .
From 1960 its governing the fashion scene time and again. The comfy and chic style is back this season and is full of pep.

The design silhouettes in jumpsuits have gamesome variety in it from skin tight to plazzo style , from fitted to voluminous or swirly jumpsuit   ,from cropped length jumpsuits to full length ,from bandeau style to baggy harem style.

The choices are far too many to be flirtatious in different style necklines from off one shoulder to v-neck , from halter neckline to  twisted strap neckline ,from bodice to short sleeve , from ditsy floral prints to digital prints ….. jesting with colours .
With the sunny days its time to update your wardrobe with a must have trend of jumpsuits – short or full length depending on what suits you .Before you make up your mind to upgrade the summer closet why not to gather some inspiration from the TheLookBook Info website as well as the LookBook blog post and then to animate into your Jumpsuit to announce your summertime.

The creation is of one piece really but the additional little details makes a load of difference . For more formal events go more into sophisticated sheer fabrics with your stiletto heel . The embellishments and the cuts that lets your feminine side to speak of its own are perfect for the evenings .
Keep the jumpsuit on minimal line for lady like version. For daywear go zippy into sporty look. Chucky accessories and a head scarf or sunglasses can speed it up into more kinetic look .
Let your jumpsuit speak for you .
Keyword is simple and minimal but accessorized to complete the look.
Please, feel free to write any comments, suggestions, or interesting facts regarding the lookbook posts. For more >>
