Inspiration Monday: Miranda Kerr

Hello and welcome back! Hope you all had a great Easter! Spring break has just about finished and it has been great being able to sleep in and I even managed to sneak in a trip to New York with my youngest son. I love New York and would move there in a second except that my boys have grown to love their school so much and would not move for anything. When we first considered our move to the USA, my husband was contemplating two jobs and one of them was in NY. I really wanted him to take the one in NY and not DC because I have always been a city girl (DC isn't - it just wants to be like New York!) and we did not have to buy a car. However the role involved 40% travel to Afghanistan out of a year so it was really risky for him. He said no.

Here is a little view from the top of the Rockafella Building. It's probably one of the most common views of NY but when we were up there, the city literally took my breath away. NY is awesome. It has this vibe that no other place has.

Anyway, this week's inspiration from Two Birds is none other than Australian supermodel, Miranda Kerr. I have a soft spot for her because she is Australian!

 
I said yes to this challenge this time because I have animal print jeans and a cropped blazer. So here is my interpretation!

There is a Singaporean designer who is very influenced by Japanese traditional wear and all his clothes remind me of Kenzo. The name of the line is Mu (I don't know his name, sorry) and I love the designer's use of knits mainly because of the weather there, it is too hot to wear anything other than t shirt type fabrics.  This blazer from Mu reminds me of bat wings.

I love spring time in DC. We are blessed to have cherry blossoms in our yard and at this time of the year, they are just such a joy to look at them every day. Too bad they only last a few days. I just wanted to share the pink flowers with you. In some of my photos, they are a little whiter but the hue is actually very vibrant. I had to lighten some of my photos so you could see the detail of the blazer.

The blazer, unbuttoned.

What animal is up the treehouse? My son sometimes does his homework here. I don't know what this tree is called but I love it.

And because I can never take myself too seriously for these dress up posts, here is the silly pose that is now expected of me at the end.
