That's how I feel about some of these photos taken by photographer <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=8&ved=0CDAQFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSteven_Meisel&ei=PpcrTIqnFIH_8Aba8fXUCA&usg=AFQjCNEu4zQHtArQInuacj_R1lhmCqL5RQ&sig2=weC2Rz0NBe0yIavUlsSeow" target="_blank">Steven Meisel</a>.

I fell head over heels for the colors, the patterns, the styling, and the designs! If I had to pick two styles to sum up my style, I would fuse the vibrancy and patterns of Africa with the frillieness of French Design. This photo shoot shot by <a href="http://www.josephsinclair.com" target="_blank">Joseph Sinclair</a> sums it up perfectly! African prints, tea, cupcakes, and amazing fashion...what more could one ask for!<br /><br /><img class="photo-center" src="http://images.ymib.com/june-10-gossip-girls1.jpg" title="Gossip Girls: Fashion Photography" alt="Gossip Girls: Fashion Photography" width="516" height="1192" /><br /><br /><img class="photo-center" src="http://images.ymib.com/june-10-gossip-girls2.jpg" title="Gossip Girls: Fashion Photography" alt="Gossip Girls: Fashion Photography" width="516" height="989" /><br /><br /><img class="photo-center" src="http://images.ymib.com/june-10-gossip-girls3.jpg" title="Gossip Girls: Fashion Photography" alt="Gossip Girls: Fashion Photography" width="516" height="1141" /><br /><br /><img class="photo-center" src="http://images.ymib.com/june-10-gossip-girls4.jpg" title="Gossip Girls: Fashion Photography" alt="Gossip Girls: Fashion Photography" width="516" height="772" />SetyMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04517575838261261795noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401374789753677734.post-87073695483432256462010-03-12T00:43:00.002-05:002010-03-20T23:49:20.801-04:00Adore Vintage Interview {vintage inspiration}<img class="photo-center" src="http://images.jubella.com/july-08-jubella-adore-vintage1.jpg" title="Adore Vintage Interview" alt="Adore Vintage Interview" width="516" height="646" /><br /><br />Vintage fashion is one of my favorite styles outside of things that I hand make, and I absolutely adore <a href="http://www.adorevintage.com" target="_blank">"Adore Vintage"</a>. Adore Vintage is an online vintage boutique that sells some REALLY cute and chic vintage finds that include clothing, accessories, and even some great finds for your home! Rodellee, the owner of Adore Vintage, is just as beautiful as her treasures and I am stoked that she took the time to share a bit of her vintage inspiration with us! <br /><br />Ok, here is Rodellee..I hope you enjoy! Oh, and be sure to check the boutique often because things are always changing, one day there may be a lot of things sold out, but the next day or week over, it can be filled with her fresh finds, so be on the lookout!<br /><br /><img class="photo-left" src="http://images.jubella.com/july-08-jubella-adore-vintage2.jpg" title="Adore Vintage Interview" alt="Adore Vintage Interview" width="300" height="326" /><br /><br /><strong>Style Gypsy: Why is creativity important to you?</strong><br /><br /><strong>Rodellee:</strong> I could not live without it of course! I create and express through my clothing, my dance, my day to day life. I think it is the most wonderful feeling to create something (an image, a photograph, a dress) and be able to share it with the world and have someone else just truly appreciate it. My creativity allows me to add color, meaning, and laughter in my life. <br /><br /><strong>Style Gypsy: How would you describe your most creative spot/atmosphere?</strong><br /><strong><br /><br />Rodellee:</strong> My office is the most creative place for me. I am surrounded by beautiful dresses, quirky shoes, handbags... just all these wonderful things that make me smile. I also have a skylight in here so I can gaze up into the sky when I feel like clearing my head or search the clouds for inspiration.<br /><br /><img class="photo-center" src="http://images.jubella.com/july-08-jubella-adore-vintage3.jpg" title="Adore Vintage Interview" alt="Adore Vintage Interview" width="516" height="733" /><br /><br /><strong>Style Gypsy: Where were you in life when you decided to start your own boutique, and what things would you like to achieve in the future within your career and life?</strong><br /><br /><strong>Rodellee:</strong> My husband and I had just moved to Texas from Budapest and we were about to get married, so I had this surge of energy and invincibility, not to mention a rapidly growing vintage dress collection... I started selling on Ebay, but as a freelance webdesigner, I really wanted a look and feel for my shop to be completely customized. So I designed the first layout for Adorevintage (it was very pink and very girly) and within a couple months had opened my own online shop. I am still 100% involved in all of the design work for Adorevintage. In the future I would really love to see Adorevintage become the best online resource for vintage clothing and accessories for men and women and opening up an actual storefront.<br /><br /><img class="photo-left" src="http://images.jubella.com/july-08-jubella-adore-vintage4.jpg" title="Adore Vintage Interview" alt="Adore Vintage Interview" width="300" height="490" /><br /><br /><strong>Style Gypsy: Favorite Fashion magazines, books and T.V shows?</strong><br /><br /><strong>Rodellee:</strong> ZiNK has some of the best fashion editorials, so I always peruse for inspiration. I love ELLE for their "ELLE SHOPS" section and although I'm no longer a teen, Teen Vogue always has fun and playful fashion and a lot of ideas that are readily wearable. I don't watch much TV, but I do own every season of Sex and the City and Family Guy. <br /><br /><strong>Style Gypsy: Top 3 Fashion/Beauty Boutiques or Designers?</strong><br /><br /><strong>Rodellee:</strong> Oh goodness...only three? My top favorite designers are Diane von Furstenberg, Anna Sui, and Marc by Marc Jacobs. I tend to favor different designers throughout the seasons depending on the collections. <br /><br /><strong>Style Gypsy: Do you have any areas in your home that truly depict vintage style?</strong><br /><br /><strong>Rodellee:</strong> I do pick up a lot of vintage knick knacks here and there and they are scattered throughout my house. Generally if I like something I'll go ahead and purchase it because I have this mentality that "someday I'll find a use for it." <br /><strong><br />Style Gypsy: What are your top 3 marketing tips that you would give to an aspiring boutique owner who wants to focus on vintage fashion?</strong><br /><br /><strong>Rodellee:</strong> <br /><strong>1.]</strong> Get to know your field, educate yourself with the product<br /><strong>2.]</strong> Figure our your target market (who do you want shopping at your store, what kind of men and women are they? what do they like to do?)<br /><strong>3.]</strong> Be friendly, helpful, and genuine.<br /><br /><img class="photo-center" src="http://images.jubella.com/july-08-jubella-adore-vintage6.jpg" title="Adore Vintage Interview" alt="Adore Vintage Interview" width="516" height="1027" /><br /><br /><strong>Style Gypsy: What are 5 things that you must have in your closet or purse? </strong><br /><br /><strong>Rodellee: </strong><br /><strong>Closet:</strong> White tank top (infact I have multiples), a little black dress (I have a Holly Golightly inspired vintage 60s cocktail dress that I love love love!), black cigarette pants, comfortable but quirky ballet flats (I'm a sucker for ballet flats), and an oversized handbag. <br /><br /><strong>Purse:</strong> Chapstick, cellphone, notepad & pen (I'm old fashioned, I write everything down), a book (you never know when you'll get stuck waiting for something), and a camera (for capturing life's beautiful and random moments)<br /><br /><strong>Style Gypsy: Favorite vintage fashion era?</strong><br /><br /><strong>Rodellee:</strong> My favorite would be the late 60s and early 70s when clothing was just very flowing, colorful, and all about self expression. But there is something about every era that I love, the 20s for the gorgeous flapper dresses, the 30s for the old Hollywood glamour silhoutte, the 40s for the fitted feminine suits, the 50s for the voluminous skirts and dresses when women looked like walking flowers, the 60s for the adorable minis and the wide eyed look, the 70s for that <a href="http://www.bibaexperience.com" target="_blank">BIBA</a> look, and of course the 80s from off the shoulder dresses to wristbands. Every era had its own special something and I am ecstatic to be able to share the clothing from these time periods with the world and have them be appreciated and loved. <br /><br /><img class="photo-center" src="http://images.jubella.com/july-08-jubella-adore-vintage5.jpg" title="Adore Vintage Interview" alt="Adore Vintage Interview" width="516" height="712" /><br /><br /><strong>Style Gypsy: Do you have any beauty tips, products, or pampering regimens that you like to use/do to keep your beauty in its glow?</strong><br /><br /><strong>Rodellee:</strong> I love St. Ives products and its very inexpensive and has always worked with my skin. Other than the facial scrub and clay mask which I use twice a week, I wash with mild soap and water and moisturize with Ponds cream. <br /><br /><strong>Style Gypsy: If you had to pick a song that represented your personality from a "vintage" time, what song would it be and why?</strong><br /><br /><div class="video-center"><object width="505" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xH9y8iygrn4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xH9y8iygrn4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="505" height="505"></embed></object></div><br /><br /><br /><strong>Rodellee:</strong> "After Hours" by Velvet Underground. The song is so simple, so innocent, and it has a good beat. Every time I hear it I feel like dancing around like Anna Karina in "Band of Outsiders". I also love absolutely LOVE "Moonriver" which was sung in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" written by Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini in the early 60s. The song is heart wrenchingly beautiful.<br /><br /><div class="video-center"><object width="505" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ahR-G_yLB5M&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ahR-G_yLB5M&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="505" height="505"></embed></object></div><br /><br /><strong>Style Gypsy: Other than fashion, in what other ways do you express your creativity?</strong><br /><br /><strong>Rodellee:</strong> I draw, or mostly sketch... usually flowers, branches, and faces. I write poetry and short stories as well, but not as often as I used to. I also like to bake sweets and invent my own little recipes (my recent invention some sort of coconut, chocolate chip cookie bar concoction that remains nameless but received rave reviews from my husband and friends).SetyMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04517575838261261795noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401374789753677734.post-61560489991208654742010-03-12T00:42:00.001-05:002010-03-12T00:42:52.845-05:00Topsy Turvy {vintage hats}<img class="photo-center" src="http://images.jubella.com/july-08-jubella-topsy-turvy1.jpg" title="Topsy Turvy Designs" alt="Topsy Turvy Designs" width="516" height="457" /><br /><br />I absolutely love the energy that Costumier & full time Milliner <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5205648" target="_blank">Kim Brown-Dye</a> puts into her vintage inspired hats.

You get a super fabulous DJ fashionista known as "DJ Rashida". Some of you may know her as the stylish DJ for Prince, or as the DJ for the popular MTV show "America's Best Dance Crew", or maybe you are a regular at California's Temple Bar in which she spins regularly. However, I have been a big fan of Rashida well before she hit the scene, as I met her through a mutual friend while in high school. Not only is she mega talented as a DJ, but she TRULY is beautiful both inside and out. Her style is impeccable, and quite eclectic..the perfect chica to highlight here on Style Gypsy don't you think? <br /><br />Rashida has rubbed elbows with the most elite within the music and fashion community and I thought it would only be proper to highlight some of my favorite photos of her within all of her fabulousness! Be sure to check out her personal blog <a href="http://adiamondlife.com" target="_blank">"A Diamond Life"</a> in which she shares some sneak peeks of inspiration via her traveling moments, fashion, music, and her nights and days as a DJ! You can also find more photos via <a href="http://www.myspace.com/djrashida" target="_blank">her myspace page</a>.<br /><br /><object width="516" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/neO43PJfyfA&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/neO43PJfyfA&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="516" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3426/3738528266_034689b806_o.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2635/3738528404_39ab9fa7f6_o.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2518/3738528952_b99a233f57_o.jpg" />SetyMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04517575838261261795noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401374789753677734.post-58438204933393498512009-07-17T00:27:00.004-04:002009-07-17T09:25:53.583-04:00Fleur Wood {sweet selections}Loving these sweet pieces from the 2009 <a href="http://www.fleurwood.com" target="_blank">Fleur Wood Collections</a>.

As you can all figure out out, I have had baby girl! She was born on May 17th...exactly on her due date. Needless to say I have not exactly been in the fashionable mood (which explains my lack of blogging here) with the mama pouch that's left and the extra bloating. But I am ready to get back into shape and blogging here on Style Gypsy always gets me motivated to beautify my outer life! LOL.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2669/3703296972_cc9ef5b824_o.jpg" /><br /><br />Anyhow, moving along into fashion talk. Is it odd that I do not like/hate wearing heels yet I love the artistic/fashion value they hold? I find comfort in flats or short pumps, and even wedge heels, but there is something unnatural about wearing heels/stiletto style shoes. I am sure it would give me much needed height to my 4" 11" frame, but I just feel awkward in them. I dunno, but I can't help but to swoon all aver these pieces from the Ursula 2009 Collection of <a href="http://www.mascaro.com" target="_blank">Mascaro</a> (fyi:you may have to click on the Spanish version to see pics). I especially LOVE the gold pair with the peep toe that are at the top of the last photo...fabulous!<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3487/3702490009_461467da43_o.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3630/3703297220_4c9e731639_o.jpg" />SetyMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04517575838261261795noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401374789753677734.post-87870122716700992402009-05-11T23:43:00.003-04:002009-05-11T23:54:00.805-04:00Ope Style {who styled it?}<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3654/3524578346_e52148cd55_o.jpg" /><br />Hi everybody! No! Still no baby,I'm set to be due this Sunday! But I do have some rather fabulous stylish photos to deliver to you. I really fell in love with these photos by Stylist <a href="http://www.opestyle.com" target="_blank">Ope'</a>of New York! Her compositions are great and the artistic value that she adds to her work is simply gorgeous! Sometimes you can just tell when someone has the "it" factor and I definitely look forward to seeing more of her work!<br /><br />"A self-taught artist, Opé has been drawing since she could hold a pencil. Opé hails from St. Louis, MO. born to Nigerian parents was able to see Nigeria for the first time as a teenager. Surviving a huge culture shock at the time, it tempered the way she sees a colorful world around her. She has sold her paintings to people who have enjoyed her work immensely. <br /><br />Seeing herself as an artist first and foremost, Opé views fashion styling as another medium to extend her artistry to the canvas of real life."<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3524577912_6c81554815_o.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3395/3523770513_abdf9f22d8_o.jpg" />SetyMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04517575838261261795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401374789753677734.post-25410343397470769012009-04-23T00:00:00.000-04:002009-04-23T00:00:02.236-04:00Little: Aurélie NGuyen {video with style}I think this video is super cute and simple and oh how I do want that pink umbrella to twirl around on my gloomy rainy days..LOL. So, if you have not noticed, my posting has been a bit irregular, sorry, but being preggo has it's moments, and I have not had the energy to blog much lately, although I do have tons of ideas rolling around in my head. So, hopefully once baby comes out I will be back to posting weekly here on Style Gypsy. Thanks to all of you who are keeping up with me & I am super excited about my new blogger followers! I promise, there will be more eye candy to come soon. I'm expected to deliver by May 17th..about 3 weeks from now.
