I've decided to take a leaf out of Victoria's book from her blog post in early July 2011 and create my own style and look book.

I've been tearing out pages from magazines and catalogues for years of fashion, styles that I like, colours, shapes, jewellery designs and even perfume bottles - they come in so many elegant shapes, clothing with interesting design details, and pictures that I thought were interesting.
I just haven't taken it that one step further and pasted them into a book!
I've started buying a couple (okay, maybe 3 or 4!) of fashion magazines each month and am hoping to get hold of a copy of American Vogue's September issue - will be asking at the newsagents in Morwell to see if they are able to order in a copy. I did pick up a French Vogue magazine there the other week - but replaced it quickly when I read the cover price of $45.00. Twas a little too pricy for me!
When I was studying fashion at College, we had to create look books and it was always something I meant to continue. I've still got my books put away in a cupboard and I remember getting high marks for them too!

That sounds like a wonderful idea, and fun too!
