#1 : Minnow Bathers Swimwear at Need Supply Co. / I love the swimsuit, but I think the main reason I love this is the tattoos combined with the retro florals, gorgeous!
#2 : Unknown / Wish I could find where this is from, it’s so striking!
#3 : Nick Knight ‘Flora’ / More Nick Knight! Can’t seem to get enough of him lately, the blackened rainbow of colours on these is just beautiful though.
#4 : Jose Manuel Ferrater & Paz Vega for the 2012 Lambertz Calender/ Adore Paz Vega & all of the images from this calender (for biscuits?!) were seriously beautiful.
#5 : Feline Zegers / Love this girls work, this piece is quite different to the rest of her stuff, but I love the painterly quality & unfinished look to it.
#6 : Alphonse Mucha ‘La Pater’ series / The main originator of the Art Nouveau style, he considered this series his masterpiece. I love anything with slightly religious undertones, and especially pieces like this that portray it as almost cult-like.
#7 : Old Books / I’d love a bookcase filled with old books like this!
#8 : Paolo Roversi ‘Flowers’ / Possibly my favourite photographer, every time I see one of his pieces it just blows me away. I love his very distinctive style too.
#9 : Alexander McQueen Exhibition at The Met Museum / So gutted I never got to see this. One of my favourite McQueen dresses too!

I always love your inspiration posts, they’re so pretty! I am loving the swimsuit at the top, it’s such a gorgeous pattern. The old books photo actually reminds me of the library at my university… it’s quite magical! xx

Hello Stephanie, how are you? First of all, I wanted to thank you for the nice comments while I was away…You inspiration posts are always such an interesting mix of style, art and music. I particularly liked the delicate pastel tones over the black&white predominance of your photo collages. The last three pictures were my favourite: old books, Paolo Roversi and the McQueen exhibition…couldn’t ask for more or better choices!
Hi Caterina! I’m good thankyou & no problem, it’s been lovely to see all of your holiday photos & so glad you had a nice time! :)
I’m glad people appreciate the inspiration posts, I think it’s a nice way to add a little of my other favourite things (art & music) to the blog whilst still keeping it fashion related, I’d get bored if it was just outfit post after outfit post! ;)
I love the swimsuit too, lovely retro print
Just letting you know i’m hosting a giveaway at the moment, hope you enter: http://www.underlockandkeyblog.com/2012/10/flora-beauty-giveaway.html
I love images 1 & 5 the most. The style of those tattoo’s are what I aspire to have. Love the colours in Feline Zegers painting, will look into more of what she has done.
paolo roversi is one of my faves too.. you’re right about his work being very distinctive! with some of his work i often see things i didn’t notice the first time around when i look at it again.. and again.. hope you’re feeling better! x
Yes! I love that most, I can be flipping through a magazine & just go, ‘Roversi’ without looking at the credits. Such a rare thing these days! I always find his work quite haunting in how beautiful it is too.
