Black Swan

Tonight I was blown away by the Black Swan on the big screen. A psychological thriller, in which Natalie Portman's character is torn between two platforms, innocence and seduction, safety and danger, black and white...like flipping two sides of a coin. She strove for beauty and perfection: an obsession that drove her to a brink of a psychotic break. And since I couldn't really sleep following the movie, I decided to channel my energies towards fashion inspiration while playing on Polyvore! 

With the story of the Swan Queen in mind, I put together a mix of light and dark, delicate and edgy, flowing layers and textured feathers:

Nothing I'd love more right now than to dress up in a girly dress, don a pair of stilettos, and add an edgy piece of jewelry for finishing touches! What's been your latest source of fashion inspiration?
