I’ve always loved clothes. Probably because I am tall and slender and most things look good on me. In the last few years, I’ve been buying more sporty type clothing, for travel. Items that wick, are light-weight, dry fast, have SPF, etc. It’s still fun to look occasionally…
“It’s a new era in fashion – there are no rules.” ~Alexander McQueen
“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.” ~Audrey Hepburn
I used to think fashion was a waste of time. But now I realize it is just another form of art.
This colorful sweater appeals to the whimsical side of me!
Fun!!
This design appeals to the naughty side of me!

Do you know who the photographer of the black and white, body-painted woman? That photograph is so very similar to the NZ photo of the year for last year, though the model and pose are different. It will make me crazy if I can’t find out if it’s the same photographer!
btw – great post!
I don’t…sorry! It’s pretty cool though! Thanks!

Those are some fabulous fashion pics! (Especially the black and white hat ensemble. My favorite color combination!) One of the biggest things I miss while traveling is getting to wear fun clothes!
I know what you mean. On some of my longer trips, I can’t take much and it’s basically t-shirts, capris, etc.
Me too. Someone needs to design fashionable travel clothes!
Love that quote by Ms. Hepburn! So very true! You are a great example of her words ..
love

Thanks Elena…you too!!
I love this post – gorgeous photos!
Thanks so much!
Ooh la la!!
Va Voom!!
Must say, fashion of all kinds is my weakness
Love this post!
I knew you’d like it!!
I don’t know a thing about fashion, but the first photograph was mesmerizing to me. I couldn’t take my eyes off it for quite some time. Thanks for sharing it.
You’re welcome!!
I don’t know why, but the first one I see makes me think Tiramisu? lol
(waves at Magsx2)
I love Tiramisu!!
Hi,
I could only laugh at the painters hat, I think that looks ridiculous.
I love the art work on the nails, and I love the way the hair is done in the last photo, I have never seen hair coloured like that before, very intriguing, unusual, but very nice as well.
A lot of fashion looks ridiculous! But it is “art”! I also like the hair…pretty cool!
I love the veggie dress… makes fashion look effortless and healthy.
Oh and the Audrey Hepburn quote was music to my eyes, thank you. 
You’re welcome!! I thought the veggie dress was quite cool!
Inspiring collection. Can see myself doing mother-of-the-bride in that first outfit. No, maybe I shouldn’t overdo it?
Haha!!
I have always just known fashion must be art in another form; so did you deep down, really. You write, you travel, you take pictures; the adventurer in you is “art”
Me I love art, writing, designing, sewing, and anykind of planning where paper and a pencil is involved. That is exactly where those outfits began!
I love the ballerina with the cracked mask!
Sorry, getting too chatty.

Yes…I see that now. Perhaps I knew that then…but consciously wasn’t aware of it! Thanks for commenting!
I wouldn’t be caught dead in half of those ‘fashions’, but oddly enough, I do like the girl’s hair in the last photo. A a norm, I prefer the natural look, but her hair is pretty cool.
I’m with you!
I have very little patience for fashion. I like clothes and I can appreciate fashion as an art form, but I have no talent for putting an outfit together and if I do have the extra money to spend on clothes, I usually buy something else! Most of the time I stick to a tee shirt and jeans or cargo short, depending on the season. It does go out of style, it’s easy to match, and looks acceptable on just about anyone. The styles right now are ridiculous. Not for girls with hips!
Clothing is very expensive! You’re so cute…you can wear anything and look good!
I have started playing a game with myself as I follow what you are posting on Pinterest boards. How will she put the photos together to form a topic? I didn’t see this one coming but I love it.
That’s funny Michelle! I hope I keep you guessing!
Fashion is what we make it to … my favorite today must be the cabbage girl – have seen a dress made out British Pounds … too, brilliant. Great choice of photo’s again.
Thanks…so much fun!
