I don’t have a fat lot of time on the computer right now (hence my posting rate has shrunk to 1 per week lately) because of bucket loads of college work (including uni applications eep!). Ack! Anyway, just thought I’d share some inspiration or stuff-I’ve-been-dumping-over-at-tumblr-and-not-really-bothered-posting-here…

Once upon a time, I did ballet. I hated it and was awful. BUT I loved the Queen’s post on the costumes at the Scottish Ballet! A visual feast of beautiful construction and theatrical dress. Costumes are tightly aligned with fashion for me and if I wasn’t already dead set on fashion design, I’d definitely consider costume. Hey, it’s all textiles for wearing at the end of the day!

Like a few other bloggers, I am still being inspired by menswear. Though it’s been ongoing for a wee while for me, thanks to becoming obsessed with My So-called life and finally watching Annie Hall & the Royal Tenenbaums back in September. But yes, elements of this outfit have been getting quite a bit of wear recently! (Image via Style Salvage)

Finally, I’m being super duper inspired by magic, the macabre and the slightly quirky, sinister timeless (though kind of Victorian) thing. Think Mick Jackson’s Ten Sorry Tales or a Tim Burton film. Speaking of Tim Burton, I’m really envious of anyone in New York – I’d love to go to MoMa right now and see this exhibition then, of course, amble around the rest of the gallery!

So… that’s some of what’s been catching my fancy (art college is like a bombardment of inspiration I swear) lately but… what’s been inspiring YOU?
