July Inspiration
“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
– Coco Chanel
My July Inspiration…
Welcome to July! An extraordinary month! While I am spending my time rugged up under blankets in Australia; I hope all of you in the Northern Hemisphere are soaking up the sun in far off destinations and enjoying your Summer vacations.
Just a few of the things inspiring me this month…
The exquisitely beautiful Giambattista Valli Fall 2012 Couture Collection; youthful insolence; cosy knee-high socks; succulent strawberries; soft pink nail polish shades; fresh flowers; lazy days spent reading & decedent bubble baths; sweet make-up tones; Kate Moss for Burberry Campaign images; behind the scenes at Valli’s Couture show…

JUNE INSPIRATION
“Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.” – Yves Saint Laurent
I cannot believe it is already June! This month marks the first of Winter here in Australia and I cannot wait to embrace my trench coat, knee-high boots and assortment of colourful, cosy scarves. This month I will also be launching the second CaraGray.com Art Collection.
In the meantime, it isn’t too late to enter ‘The Woman Of Paris’ competition. One winner will receive ‘Décadence’ & the other, ‘La Magnifique Vue De Paris’! Entries close on June 30th 2012. For full competition details and entry form, please click here! Good Luck!
Some of my June inspirations….
The enchanting new campaign and fragrance by Chloé ‘L’Eau de Chloé’; whimsical prints from Erdem’s Resort 2013 collection; Audrey Hepburn as Sabrina; sweet peach and apricot tones; enchanting black and white photographs of London (especially in the rain); Lola’s Cupcakes (my favourite cupcakes in the whole wide world!); the alluring beauty and style of Diane Kruger.

What I Wore…
… to a lovely French restaurant with great friends, delicious food and lots of laughter!
On Saturday night I had a truly delightful evening and to this joyous occasion I wore a Cue Dress, my Wayne Cooper Clutch and Mollini heels.
As soon as I saw this simple little black dress I knew I had to have it in my wardrobe. Reminding me of something Audrey Hepburn might have worn, I simply adore the ¾ sleeves; sweet neckline; and fun A-line skirt (perfect for twirling!). The pop of colour, with the aqua belt at the waist, makes it all the more fun!
On another note, I’m sorry for the lack of posts over the last couple of days. Since Sunday I have had a terrible cold.
Usual daily posts will resume on Uptown Twirl from tomorrow! In Other Exciting News… I will also be announcing full details for the CaraGray.com ‘The Woman Of Paris’ competition tomorrow – so be sure to stay posted! I cannot wait to share it with you!
