Lookbook Inspirations

So after much pressure from family and friends, I finally got a Lookbook.nu account. I enjoy fashion and giving advice, as many of you know, but I am not big on taking photos of my own. Call it insecurities if you want. So I posted two looks [in which you guys voted on my netlog account] and so far... hypes have been slowly but steadily streaming in. cool, right? You guys are smart.

Anyways, as I was scanning through, I saw some amazing looks. Some traditional, some... not. I asked to use a few to show you guys. I'll give you just a few for this post, but I'll explain why I like it. I know you all value my opinion, Ha ha ;-) On one final note, I would like to THANK YOU ALL so much for the feedback. You guys are killin' my email!

Here we go folks...

David Sleadd



David is relatively new to Lookbook from what I can surmise. However, his fashion is slightly off tradition. He keeps his clothes in sync and can make his pictures creative! Handstands? I'd break my neck...! He may not have been on Lookbook for very long, but he is a well known model for Outlook Makeover Site Models. I had the chance to meet him at the Outlook Makeover back in 2007. Its safe to say he is cool.

She is simply amazing! 18 and already such a beautiful young lady. She bases her clothes on the different cultures she sees around her. I can't say too much for her, she speaks well enough for herself! You can contact her here: http://lookbook.nu/modest4one

I came across her with my random searches. What drew me to her style was... really how it didn't just stick with mainstream "fashion." I chose the two pictures above because it shows her own taste. The first one is really "neat" and organized, yet still different from the molds of fashion. The second is truly my favorite. I love the loose jeans with holes. It gives grunge to it, exactly her style. Check out more!

Her fashion is not at all out of the normal. So why do I love her? Because she makes her own clothes! Yeah, it looks store bought, but no, she makes them! I've seen from her Facebook her projects. I think it is so cool she can do that. Give me a needle and thread and I'd end up stabbing myself somehow. Go ahead, see if you can tell her things are home made!

A Note from My Office- McDonalds

As many of you know I have been in New York attempting to get some new ideas for my upcoming fashion line. I did get many great ideas! I'm blogging this to you at a local McDonald since it is the only place I could get free wifi. Lazy? Yeah, I know. I got so many good ideas from this little group called "The Holiness movement." I was really interested. Than I decided when I got home I would try to find similar looks. And I'll-be-dogged I found a college! God's Bible School and College.

Basically it is a religious group that believes firmly in modesty for both men and women. Skirts at least an inch below the knee, arms covered [but 3/4th sleeves are allowed] and hair [usually long] up. For most people, especially here in America, it is a turn off. I however found it fascinating how many styles these girls came up with using only skirts and dresses. The hairstyles were impeccable too! So I took a few shots of them on my Canon Powershot. Primitive, I know. But I was too excited to return to the hotel for my other camera.

Blazers n' Jeans? Go? No?

I was viewing some of the "classic" stlyes of just the jacket and jeans. When I was younger my mother used to always say

"That looks so tacky!"

whenever I wore a suit jacket or somehwat "classy" jacket with a pair of jeans. It was strict fashion in my house. "Dress clothes" went with dress clothes and "dumpy" went with dumpy. I can't stand it! Anyways, there are many ways to pull off the grunge/classy look. Or at least, that is what I call it. Here is a few "idea" that I found that you all might be interested in.

I personally favor the first simply because I love the colors. It's classy but not over done so people think you're the business class. Let me know what you think! You can post below or as always, you can contact me through my Facebook or Email at CameronMeyz@yahoo.com

Chiao/Hello

Hey bloggers!

I know, I know, the last blog went stagnant for a while, but I have a good excuse! I can't think of it right now, but I know I have one! Anyways, I did not forget about you all, I was simply testing your loyalty. Wow, that is the best excuse I've come up with in that short of time. Cool.

So, that random stuff said, down to the good stuff. I've got some awesome shots for you ladies and gents that I think you all might adore. Or find repulsive, either way, they're here for your viewing. I try to keep it "broad" style so people can pick and choose what they like. I use pictures from other fashion bloggers too, but don't worry, all credit will be given where the credit is due.

I hope you all like it! And you may notice, I have a fancy for the vintage look, but I will try not to post too much vintage. But what can I say, I love it. So, enjoy!

Cameron :)
