Weekly Wardrobe | Assad Mounser

Assad Mounser by twinkle.vanwinkle featuring necklaces

Assad Mounser did not start out as a jewelry designer, but instead working fashion wholesale in New York. That didn’t quell her urge to create looks for herself, dangly jewelry reminiscent of Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust and glam-era Rolling Stones.

Check out Twinkle’s “Weekly Wardrobe | Assad Mounser" polyvore set this week.

Obviously, she wasn’t the only one interested in wearing the pieces she was creating. Mounser’s jewelry line seems to only evolve into more exotic and beautiful collections each time.

Mounser’s Spring/Summer 2011 line, in her own words, “focuses on a futuristic journey, one that many rock stars, drenched in glitter, might sing about. Titled “Neo Conquistador,” the collection follows a future-bound phoenix rising from the ashes of a catastrophic wave of destruction to a path of redemption and rebirth, creating a new world from the rubble.”  [ via theblock-mag.com]

Her description is not an understatement. Each piece is comprised of details that seem intentionally placed one by one— gold crosses mixed with feathers and silver spikes, colorful baubles and gold and silver chains, layered exotically with no fear.

Mounser says her influences stem from her love of 70s-era glam rock and the fashion that came with it, and it’s easily recognized in her pieces. Post-modern space-age glam, one of these pieces could make your entire outfit stand out, could BE your outfit. Mounser's “Neo Conquistador” collection screams futuristic fashion mated with Machiavellian overtones that evoke a visual mash-up of "Liquid Sky" and  Werner Herzog's "Aguirre."

Quickly becoming a rising star, Mounser is definitely a designer to keep your eye out for. With only four seasons under her belt, she’s made almost every major magazine cover, and has created pieces for several runway shows.

Quirky, relevant and excessive, Mounser’s epiphanies of glam are devastating and fantastic, a must-have to compliment any wardrobe.

Weekly Wardrobe | Antik Batik & you

Around for almost 20 years, design house Antik Batik promotes the philosophy that fashion is not about ditching the past for uber-modern and sometimes unwearable style, but instead meshing the richness of cultures around the globe with fresh ideas.

The additions to their line this spring are light, comfy pieces. Wispy, flowing, colorful ideas that evolved into clothing emanate romantic and far away places.

Check out more from Antik Batik at polyvore.com.

The combination of a brightly patterned scarf and beaded bangles worn with a tribal-print cocktail dress elicits a view of a bustling Middle Eastern marketplace, yet doesn’t lose sophistication. Pair with sandals embellished with glass beads or jewels for an eclectic blend of whimsy and class.

The only downside of the Antik Batik spring look is availability and for the majority of us, the price. Sold in limited boutiques in the States and with no overseas shipping policy, it’s hard to attain the beautiful pieces to compliment your wardrobe.

Check out my polyvore.com profile for some ideas to create this look with pieces easier to attain and a lot easier on your wallet.

Weekly Wardrobe - "Is Spring Ever Coming?" Edition | Edmonton Child Photographer

So, I guess these posts aren't technically a "weekly wardrobe", but I think I'll still call them that because I think it has a nice ring, doesn't it? Anyways, here in Edmonton Jack Frost has still been super busy and it seems like we're still in the thick of winter. Won't Spring ever come?

In other news, there's been a lot of new followers on the facebook page, thanks for following! There's also been rumours of a contest, and maybe some Easter mini sessions in the works, so if you haven't visited my page, head on over so you won't miss out.

Well, let's just turn our backs to the cold weather and imagine that Spring really is coming... these combinations are really cute for Spring! And really cute for a photo session! :)

PS. These outfits are all from the Children's Place. I couldn't seem to find an online store for Canada, so these may or may not be available here in Canada. Click on the pictures to go to the website.

For older girls, this outfit is my top pick:

I'm loving this outfit for older boys:

Baby Girls would look sweet in this (loving the jacket!):

And finally, Baby Boys in this outfit:

Weekly Wardrobe - Valentine's Day Edition | Edmonton Child Photographer

Well, I think I should probably rename this to "Monthly Wardrobe" but that wouldn't quite have the same ring to it, would it?

Because of the Valentine Mini Sessions coming up, I thought I'd do a Valentine's Day Edition to give you all some ideas of what would work great for your Mini Session! These outfits are from a variety of places, and might not all be readily available to you, but try to look at the style of the clothing when looking for something for your little one to wear.

For girls, this tulle top would be really fun. I recommend going with either a solid colour, bright or grey, or a really fun bright print.

And since I seem to be on a ruffle kick, I love this little dress.

A sweet dress is also a great choice.

Or go for some jeans with barefeet with a modern fir polka-dot top.

For boys, a fresh polo and dark wash jeans are a great look.

Or go with something a bit more casual, like this fun long sleeve tee and distressed jeans. Love!

Well, looking back, it seems the clothes are all from Old Navy or the Gap so they might actually be all readily available! Hopefully this gives you a bit of an idea of what style clothing might look best through the camera.

There's still a few spots left if you haven't booked your mini Session yet! I have four spots in the morning open: 10:15, 11:00, 11:15, 11:45. Email me at [email protected] to book, you won't want to miss this opportunity!
