elegantly amused

bonjour friends! right now i'm waiting around for my darling friend crystal to come over so we can start the cupcake process for the opening tonight. but before the madness begins i wanted to share this lovely girl's youtube account... her name is Casey and she is the cutest darn thing ever. simply lovely... not only is she adorable but she's got video's on youtube where she shares her love of past style with tutorials and general musings on fashion, beauty and the like. elegantly amused is excellent at explaining vintage eye makeup, brow care and shaping (which is constantly overlooked) and 1940s and 1950s hair styles. absolutely darling! go look!

lastnight i stumbled upon one of my favourite fashion sites on the inter web. HEL LOOKS is selected street fashion from Helsinki, the capital of Finland. The pictures are taken in the streets and clubs of Helsinki from July 2005 onwards. the site is a hobby project of Liisa Jokinen and Sampo Karjalainen. the project is a tribute to Fruits and Street magazines, the pioneers of street fashion photography.the photographers collect simple pictures and quotes from the subjects. including fashion inspiration and where each of the items they're wearing came from. HEL LOOKS went straight back into my bookmarks. go now.
