Boisterous Boots

I absolutely love these boots! Miuccia's fettish for mary janes and socks has once again taken over then runway but instead of doing it in a typical plain shoe and sock, Pradas incredible style has been unleashed and these stunning boots were created! The suede socks and the plain shoes with either the block colour or snake skin are my favourites! I have been looking everywhere to try and find a pair of these online, unfortunately, i'm still loking... The heel is to die for! It makes the side profile absolutely magical and more desirable. Please don't try to make these at home.. I think socks and shoes are hideous but once again, Miuccia has redefined this, i think its because the suede isn't to tight and sock like, you can define that that are boots.

While i thought most of the collection was too bulky and boxy in the sholders and arms, i loves the fish scale garments and a few pieces of the wild hair garments. I don't love the boxy, large and unflattering stlyle that has been designed by Prada, Alexander Wang, Isabel Marant, Miu Miu etc.. I think its completely 80's and that era went out of fashion for a reason.. The campaigns are to die for! They look so magical and out of this world. Thankyou Prada.

However like i said, these boots are magic and if anyone knows where to buy some, let me know!

Did Dior Dissapoint?

Did Dior's AW 2011/2012 Haute Couture show dissapoint you? With John Galliano being asked to leave, this is the first season the House of Dior's new creative directors designed and showcased their idea of what Dior was. The pastel coloured 80's style show with baby doll cuts was a bit of a shock to me. Don't get me wrong, i enjoyed it, but i have never seen a Haute Couture Dior show with such mild and weak colours. The first thing i noticed differently was the lack of 'oomph' and attitude it lacked, and Karlie Kloss not opening it, was a bit of a downfall. Did anyone else notice that there was hardly any of the models we lust to see in shows like this? The bright coloured kaftan like dresses seemed to be more like Dior was marketing a collection for Middle Eastern countries such as Dubai, not Haute Couture. Never the less, the finale gowns did not dissapoint, the extravagance and layers and of course, Karlie Kloss, brought the attitude and fierce feel the Dior oozes back to life.

Dior Haute Couture Entire Collection



Galactic Goot.

Whether its Josh goots simple and sophisticated cuts or his colourful signature prints, every time I see his collections I instantly feel like buying his galactic like skirts and wearing them simply with a white shirt and a Miu Miu collar. Goot mixes the right amount of crazy and plain together and doesn’t over do the design when his print is out of this world and vice versa in the sense that his bolder patters are simplified with block colours. I must admit, some of his pieces make me stare a little too hard and wonder what on earth he was thinking but his collections as a whole always look phenomenal once aboard the runway. However I do prefer his new season, his pieces seem more contained and the prints he has chosen are a lot more sophisticated and wearable. Btw, check out the shoes! Once again, a simple shoe with a singniture Goot style heel.

Les Chaussettes

I love how such a simple item such as socks, can be worn in so many ways and give an outfit a completely different look. Long socks enable us to wear skirts and dresses in winter and still be warm and look couture and fashionable. In all of the pictures above, every high sock is a different colour, texture and design and they are all worn in different ways. Socks over the boots, socks incorperated in the boots, socks under heels and socks under and with boots. Is this not the coolest, most unexpected trend you expected to evolve?

Talent&Tulle

I know this is Viktor & Rolfs spring 2010 season, and fashion goes in and out quicker than anything else, but these four dresses are some of my favouite pieces that they have ever produced. Usually i don't like V&R but when i saw Magdalena's editorial featuring this collection it made my respect leve rise alot! The detail in these dresses is astonishing! They look like an excellect cut gown, with a ranging palate of pastel colours, and i think the oddness of circles and sections cut out of these sculpted tulle gowns and being able to have an inside view of all the layers and hard work makes the collection ten times better! I think some of the shorter gowns mixed with leather clash, the harshness of the black doesn't compliment well against the ice-cream coloured colour scheme. However, these four particular dresses are quite magnificent and i thought you all should re-vist this collection!

ACNE pistol boots

I just had to share what i was wearing today. Even though everyone was complaining it was pouring and miserable i was more than excited that Winters true colours were starting to show. Theres something about winter fashion thats just so much more exciting than Summer. Big coats, coloured pants, ankle to theigh  high boots, furr, scarves, knitsn and LAYERS! god i love layers! Well this post is done with my high on mega-pixel web cam camera, and due to ACNE robbing me of my money and camera privilage it will just have to do. This jacket is double sided, one with a silk print and the other with a metallic fibre gold quilted look which makes me feel very Armarni Prive. Always to nervous to wear the gold side out though, as Adelaide is very conservative.. Anyway weather, continue to be rainy and cold!
