I love the ‘borrow from your boyfriend’ style of dressing – think crisp white cotton shirts, boyfriend jeans, and tailored suiting.

But what I’m liking even more is the reinterpretation of this re-appropriation.

Confused?

It’s a case of girl-meets-boy-meets-girl, with those much loved silhouettes now popping up in bright, colourful, girly prints.

Case in point: Today’s fab tailored ‘Wild Gypsy’ print jacket and matching pants from Fleur Wood.

Regular readers will know that I’m already a convert to the matching-prints camp.

This matching top and pants combo is like the perfect jumpsuit (only a whole lot easier for toilet breaks). And you can get so much extra milage wearing them as separates as well.

It just makes good fashion-sense*, yes?

*Stop laughing, ‘fashion-sense’ is not an oxymoron.

When styling a shoot, I draw my inspiration from many (often pretty random) places – watermelon eyebrows anyone? or how about a baby elephant?

But being a a massive cinephile (read: movie nerd), it’s often a film that has inspired me.

Today was the dreamy, slightly sinister ‘Picnic at Hanging Rock’.

I remember watching this and not being too worried about Miranda:

6 year old me:
“I think she’s just fallen down between some rocks. I’m sure she’ll be ok”

…but being totally transfixed by all the wonderful, white cotton dresses the girls got to wear. I have been a sucker for lace, broderie anglaise and cotton voile ever since.
