Bonne première journèe d' ècole!

Bonjour! Bonne première journèe d' ècole! (Happy first day of school!) Well it's my first day of school! Unfortunately that means knee length skirts and shorts :'( But who says back-to-school fashion has to be dull? Today's look is school appropriate but is full of bright colors! Her is my inspiration for today's look: 

Putting this look together I decided to go with light and cheerful colors. I also love the  stripes and bow on the last skirt! It reminds me of something I might wear in London! The orange dress is simple but I imagine a black and white belt with a bow around the waist would add some flair. The second picture is like the inspiration for the other pieces: it's chill but chic and that's why I love it! Her is the outfit I drew using all of those pieces and colors as inspiration: 

The inspiration for the jacket I drew in this outfit came from the jacket in the second picture above. I wanted it to flare out but still maintain it's structure and purpose. The dress-shirt under the jacket can be worn either as a short dress or a long shirt. Although the jacket and shirt aren't matchy-matchy I wanted to take a risk and create something you won't see everyday. In this case the dress-shirt is worn as a long shirt. Underneath the shirt is translucent-ish tights. J'adore pervenche (I love Periwinkle!)! 

Hope you like the look!

Lushees and Lunch

Bonjour! Yesterday morning I went downtown for a doctor's appointment and was able to do a bit of shopping afterword! One of my favorite new stores is called Lush:

They have bath and shower goodies plus they just made a new make-up line that I'm in love with called "Emotional Brilliance". They don't use animals to test out there makeup either which is nice! Also most make-up has 4 preservatives but Lush has 1 preservative and they're working on getting rid of that last one! 

You pick the first three colors that pop out to you and the colors say something about you!

These are the bottles that the makeup come in. They have lipstick, eyeliner, eye shadow, and mascara. 

This person's traits would be strong, calm, and passionate.




YOU COULD DEFINITELY SAY I'M A LUSHEE!

Here is an interview I did with MIA ROSE (aka moi):

Why would you consider yourself a Lushee?

I use their products all the time and love them!

How did you find Lush?

Through my mom who is also a Lushie :) 

What of their products do you use?

For Face: The Pharmacy (soap), Tea Tree Water (toner), and Celestial (moisturizer) 
For Shower: Rehab (shampoo), The American Cream (conditioner), and Rockstar or Olive Owl (soap)
For Makeup: Believe (Lipstick, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara) and Motivation (Eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara) 

Would you recommend Lush to a friend?

I'm putting it on my blog aren't I? :)


Hope you check out Lush!

All right, enough chit-chat. Here is some inspiration:

Fantasy Designs

Bonjour mes amis! Today's post is about enchantment and mystery. Lately I've really gotten into this mythological stage and fairy-tale dream. I just adore how different each kind of dress can look like and I figured I'd share my thoughts with you! Here is the magical key inside my head:

These are my inspirations for the look of the day. I love them all because they are unique  and the butterfly dress looks so different then anything I've ever seen in. C'est fabuleux! The last picture of the fairy-like dress reminds me of the dress Amy Adams wears in "Enchanted" which is one of my all time favorite movies! Anyways, I found great inspiration from those for the dress I created:

I created this dress using the inspirations above: the top of the dress is created to look like the first picture's top and is supposed to be light and poof out like that just as the dress in the first picture is. The bubbly texture used to create the top of the dress is like the butterfly in the second and third picture. I made them look like something I call 'Butterfly Bows'; Bows that look like little butterflies. In the picture they turned out to look more like bubbly circles though. I tried to create the draping at the bottom of the dress like the scooping fabric in the last picture. All in all it wasn't one of my best creations but I still like it. J'adore les robes de contes de fèes! (I love fairy-tale dresses!) 

Hope your inspired!

INSPIRATION

Bonjour! Today's post is about INSPIRATION. Someone or something that inspires you. This is a picture of my inspiration for today's look:















This look is very unique and reminds me of what Rapunzel might wear in this modern day. I love the detail of the bow-knot and how the braid wraps around the top of the head like a crown. I also like how the picture is in black and white, it allows you to dream of what the color of the dress might be. I imagine it a shiny gold and could see it with dangly gold earrings. 

This is the dress I was inspired to draw from the 'Rapunzel' look above. I didn't color it because I wanted to let you dream up the colors. I see it in various shades of red. I was inspired to make the 'bow shoulder' from the bow-knot in the picture above. The swirly lines above represent "rivers of fabric" that flow down to the bottom. I imagine this the kid of dress a mermaid or another kind of mythical creature to wear. I decided to do the hair different than the hair in the picture above; I wanted to create the illusion of feeling free by having the hair down in curls. I wanted the dress to reflect a river with light fabric.


Je t'aime!

Bonjour Mes Amis!

Bonjour mes amis! This is my Big blog featuring my Little Voice. Here you will be launched into a world of fashion, art, and photography (plus more) seen through the eyes of moi, Mia Rose! Mia Rose = a fashion loving girl who is fluent in 'Frenglish', a little bit of French and English. I wouldn't say I love fashion: I'm OBSESSED. Let's leave it that simple.

I also love Audrey Hepburn, Lucille Ball, and Coco Chanel. They are three of my favorite life/fashion idols. They inspire me. I love every color of the rainbow but my colour prèfèrèe est la rose (pink), any and every shade bleu (blue), and red. 

I also love to dance (hip hop, ballet, and tap!!!), sing (I study at the Academy of Movement and Music), and J'adore acting (I love it so much it required French :)

A few of my inspirations:

Hope your inspired!

XOXO, MIA ROSE
