A Minimalist's Wish List

I have always been a minimalist at heart. I love basic clothing with tiny touches of jewelry. I live by Coco Chanel's philosophy: 

“Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory.Less is always more.”- Coco Chanel 

While experimenting with collage's I created visually wish lists for the minimalistic girl! This girl is modern and elegant with just a touch of sparkle.   

What do you think?

3D Art Collages(below) or 2D digitally created ones (above) ?

Personally, I love creating style boards out of fabrics, it allows you to be creative with out being restricted by a computer. 

Some of my favorite minimalist accessories! Get them from Brilliant Earth! They make perfect gifts for the holidays! I am complete and utterly obsessed with the moon earrings!

...

I recently discovered Brilliant Earth's jewelry, and it is absolutely stunning! The company also does great humanitarian things like safe mining and creating their jewelry from recycled precious metals. 

happy holidays

Chanel had their pre-fall show this past week. It was truly beautiful like always. Chanel's show are ALWAYS memorizing and creative. 

My favorite look of the show. It's a mix of bohemian and Native American styles.

Also at the event they had a fleet of vintage cars and a bull riding machine! 

Hair and Makeup 

All the models had a intricate hair bow done into their hair.

The gold makeup really complemented the clothing

Oversized

Its been absolutely freezing the past few days so I have been piling on sweaters and scarfs like there is no tomorrow.

 I have been loving the oversized sweater. Typically I get weird looks buying an xx large sweater when I'm a size xs. But i cant help it! Large oversized swears are the comfiest thing in the world. 

My favorite one I found at Target(I know right?! Target!?) See it here on Dayna.

 More ways to wear the oversized sweater. 

But my favorite type of oversized sweater is the oversized ugly Christmas sweater!!!! see how to get the look here: Oh How Very Peachy-Ugly Gone Cute

 The American Music Awards. 

 Music is something i adore and has had a huge impact on my life. Not as mush as fashion but still a pretty big impact. I fell in love with all the marvelous gowns and suits from last nights ama's. With winter formals and parties coming up for the holiday season take cues from the stars for your next party outfit.

Now i wouldn't suggest wearing Miley's outfit to a nice party or dance, but I love it for a music performance! You can take inspiration from Miley's outfit, for example her super cool clear earrings and bracelets. They are a prefect unique accessory to any look. 

 The Bands:

My love, imagine dragons, looked like the great indie rock band they are. 

And of course the British boys of one direction looked handsome like always. Dont you wish every guy dressed like them and talked in a charming accent?!
