"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." Coco Chanel

sitting 2
When I first saw turbans and headscarves on blogs and in magazines I thought they looked pretty ridiculous and totally unwearable in real life. Then I saw Mademoiselle Robot wearing them and totally fell in love with the look. She is so cool and her turbans totally spice up her outfits! 
I did feel a bit strange wearing it. Going down the stairs I told my honey that I was just going to pretend to still be in NYC where nobody looks at you twice, no matter what you wear. We walked out the front door and a cyclist stared at me so intensely that he almost had an accident. Fail.

On a side note, how amazing is this graffiti?! I've always loved sunflowers and when I saw this house I knew that I needed to do a photo shoot there. There are actually a lot of houses in my new neighborhood that are completely covered in great graffiti!

All photos taken by my honey, thanks! x

  19. that wall is incredible! i always have to tell myself that too (pretend i'm in nyc) when i take outfit photos. everyone always stares, but since i usually pull over for regular photos anyway, i've gotten used to it a bit.

  20. I have such an obsession for turbans- I adore this trend- it's exotic and chic. You look gorgeous in yours especially with that color! x

  21. great shots-amazing background

    and awesome outfit!

  22. I love it all!! That dress is fantastic, and you look fantabulous with the turban. Last week I tried out a turban for the first time too, and I got soooo many comments at work (mostly positive, only one negative) :) Check it out here - http://beckyleedreams.blogspot.com/2011/06/im-doing-it-guys.html

  25. Ya know, I thought I would never wear a turban either...but once I tried just one, I am forever addicted. I love how you tied yours in the back like that...and I love the orange/yellow. Looks absolutely amazing with your black dress...which is also gorgeous. The graffiti is very cool:)

    ReplyDelete

  26. Aww, this is lovely,
    I love it!

  28. Love the turban & it goes great with the dress (& the sunflowers). I am anxious to try the turban thing myself - just haven't gotten around to it.

    ReplyDelete

  29. I love everything about this!
    I totally hear you about the turban thingy...I sewed myself a couple of them, but have yet to wear them because I live in the middle of nowhere in a town full of hillbillies!

  30. I think all the things worked out perfectly for this photoshoot. Your lovely dress has interesting details, the turban definitely spiced it up and my goodness, what a great background!!! I'd totally pretend to be in NYC...

  31. I love headscarves! They really dress up and complete any look. Yours looks lovely! And how amazing is that graffiti?! It's a perfect backdrop to your look :)

  32. You rock the urban turban! I haven't tried one, but I think I will. It's so sophisticated. I can't get over the location of your shoot. That's the best graffiti ever!

    ReplyDelete

  33. That graffiti is INCREDIBLE. I would jump at the chance to go there, too. And don't worry, you worked the scarf perfectly. That biker just didn't know how to behold the awesome.

    ReplyDelete

  34. The grafiti is amazing! And the pics of you are gorgeous. Love the way you wore the EBEW lace pick :).

  35. love the head band!!!! matching with sunflower too <3

    ReplyDelete

  36. Amazing, amazing photo location! I love how stark the black is against all the color. And for real, good call on the turban. You're rocking it in a way I'm pretty sure I never could (alas).

  37. sweet! lets meet at 4 at Hagen Daaz, get coffee and then check this exhibit out. i'm excited!

  38. You look fantastic! Great outfit and great location.

    I like the idea of the turban trend, but unsure whether I can pull it off with my super fine hair, as strange as that sounds. It seems to me like it wouldn't suit me as much because of it.

    ReplyDelete

  39. i believe turban should be worn with confident . luckily i wont have to worry about people reaction about me wearing a turban because its part of traditional middle eastern outfit , so its nothing new or strange

    ReplyDelete

  40. Cute outfit!

    I really like headscarves on other people, but I'm a bit scared to try it out myself. I'm pretty sure I'd look ridiculous...

    In my opinion, there's only a few people who can wear this and get away with it. You're doing a marvelous job :)

  41. you look stunning! That dress with the wall in your back, make a perfect contrast and combination! :D Love it! I'm following1

  44. the background and the outfit are PERFECT. next time, smile at the person staring. Then they get all awkward. In NYC everyone stares, but you just get so used to it that you smile at them and it gets them to quit it.
    seriously, that sunflower mural is AMAAAZING.

    ReplyDelete

  45. You look so cute =) That mural is so awesome I absolutely love sunflowers!

  46. amazing graffiti! loving the head scarf! :) I love tubans but am not brave enough to wear them other than in black! ha :)

  47. These photos are AMAZING, Vanessa! Kudos to you for taking advantage of this awesome locale. And I think the headscarf looks fab and perfectly normal on you - but then again I don't know you or your style very well (yet!) ;)

    ReplyDelete

  48. WOAH! That wall art is awesome! What a perfect place to wear that outfit! I love the bohemian vibe. I love turbans so much. I've been looking for a good one but I'm mad at wearing headbands and things because things never stay on my head correctly lol. I love that dress. So pretty!

    ReplyDelete

  49. That's a beautiful dress!!! Love the head gear too... I could never carry it off! You do it wonderfully!

  55. That building is so so cool! I love how the paint is all over the doors and windows too. Such a cute black dress too. I don't know if I could ever wear a headscarf, but you look great. It really pops with the black dress.

  56. You look amazing in the head scarf! That graffiti is so happy, haha that sounds strange, but it does! I love the look! And thank you for your sweet comment!

  57. I totally get what you mean about turbans seeming a bit unwearable--but then I see some blogger like you pull it off so well it always makes me rethink that! I love the colorful pop it adds to your outfit, and that dress has such gorgeous lace details!

  65. This looks fantastic on you! At first I thought the idea of a turban was ridiculous, but I've seen so many bloggers wear them and they all look amazing. I wish I had the confidence to just wear something like this and not care what other people think!

  76. This outfit is amazing by the way. I love the 20s come 70s silhouette. And another awesome background. I reallllly want to visit Berlin!

    ReplyDelete

  78. Omg, LOVE LOVE LOVE this shoot! The mix of the black dress with the orange scarf and yellow wall-- it looks fantastic!

    ReplyDelete

  79. these photos are incredible!! i nearly gasped when i saw that amazing bright graffiti, and your bright headscarf and yellow shoes look amazing with the black dress against that backdrop. just gorgeous, all of it :)

    i always associate headscarves with hippies, and used to wear them a lot more back in my more bohemian days, but the turbans of today are decidedly more chic and that makes it difficult for me to pull them off. i'm just not chic enough! you look TRES tres chic in this look. it's all about balance, i think.
