flotique

Florence Welch has some serious style. Not only on the stage, but she's proven she knows what she's doing off the stage as well. I remember several years back, I saw Florence at the Wiltern and bought this necklace pendant that were golden lungs. Fitting, since 'Lungs' was her only album at the time. Since then, she's released a few pieces of jewelry that some are lucky enough to get their hands on at her shows. Now, Welch has created and just released a line of jewelry in her "Flotique." All the pieces are very art-deco inspired, except for the birdcage ring. Pretty cool, especially since Welch has a tattoo of a birdcage on her knuckle. Shop the jewelry line HERE.

Muse Monday: Florence Welch

Florence by sheebanna featuring a silk dress

This week's muse is the lovely and talented Florence Welch. While her music has been widely critically acclaimed, big designers have also noticed Ms. Welch's great sense of style. Her on stage outfits are glamorous with fabrics like chiffon and silk that make her look like an angelic figure with hair of fire. Her vintage style is reminiscent of 1940s Hollywood glamor with kimono sleeves and empire waists. She recently played at Chanel's S/S 2012 show and is a front row regular at Givenchy, Valentino and Yves Saint Laurent. We can't wait to see what she will wear (or do) next.



Song of the Day: "What the Water Gave Me" by Florence and the Machine

its hard to dance with the devil on your back

Chanel RTW Spring 2012

I don't like to put celebrities on the blog. I feel like they cheat when it comes to fashion. They can afford to buy expensive clothes and expensive stylists to make them look good. But I couldn't help it when looking at the front row at the Chanel show in Paris this week. From the top, Sean Lennon with girlfriend/model Charlotte Kemp Muhl, Leigh Lezark, Alexa Chung with Jared Leto, a shot of a model with Chanel pearls on her back, and last, but certainly not least, Karl Lagerfeld walking down with Florence Welch. Florence looked barely recognizable (except with her bright, red, iconic hair), and her dress is what struck me the most. It was designed by Karl Lagerfeld specifically for her performance at the show. I added the last shot just to show how amazing the dress is. I'm thinking of maybe making the "celebrity" exception for Florence. Everyone knows she has amazing style. SHE knows how to dress.
