NEW FASHION TREND: CAR ILLUSTRATED PRINTS

Hi fashionistas! 
This season's latest trend is retro car prints are taking us back to 1950's style! 
We saw this trend at Prada's Spring / Summer 2012 collection. And we dont just see this trend on clothing; but at accessories too such as bags & heels.  These prints can be easily combined with pastels & more natural tones 'cuz it creates a soft look itself & would be better with nude, earthly tones & pastels.
If you want to use more vibrant colors with these to match; well, you can combine w/ yellow, turquoise, red or black! 
This trend is awesome & i've got a car print dress from Glow Fashion; i'll be wearing this dress soon! Stay tuned ;)
Bu sezon Prada'da da gördüğümüz üzere yeni bir moda trendi ile karşı karşıyayız! 1950'lerden kalma klasik araba baskılı elbiseler ve aksesuarlar! Ben bayıldım! Bu yaz sıkça elbiselerde bu trendi göreceğiz galiba :) 
Ama pradanın ayakkabıları biraz aşırıya kaçsa da benim için, elbise ve clutch'ları harika :)
Glow Fashion'dan aldığım araba baskılı elbisemi en kısa zamanda giyeceğim, ve sizin için 50'ler temalı bir 'Bugün ne giydim' post yapacağım! Beni takip etmeyi unutmayın :)

LOVE AZTEC PRINTS

I love aztec prints; altough it is modernised nowadays; we can still notice the bohemian spirit it creates. You can transform this print into many styles.
But today, i wanted to create a chic look w/ my aztec print skirt & decided to combine it with a blazer.
---
Bugün, yabancı bloggerlar arasında meşhur olan Bershka aztek baskılı eteğimi giydim. Çok rahat ve aynı zamanda gayet şık duran bu eteği ise istediğiniz gibi kombinleyebilirsiniz; gündüz babet, gece ise topuklularla giyebilirsiniz. 
Benim tercihim ise babetten yanaydı; dikkat çekmemek lazım tabi etek kısa olduğundan! :D

>>FEATURE - ARTIST/ILLUSTRATOR . ANNE QUADFLIEG

Our featured Artist/Illustrator is Anne Quadflieg who lives  in Hamburgs Sternschanze, Germany.  I love how she incorporates an organic twist to some of her work with the use of elements from nature and dimensions to her illustrations. She is quite talented illustrating in different mediums and styles which gives her the satisfaction to continue to offer more than just one specific illustration style. Many of her inspirations are from strolling over fleamarkets and old books. 


She has an established clientele doing work for magazines and papers, and as well as agencies.  To learn more about Anne and to view more of her work, go to her website annequadflieg.wordpress.com.
