Reasons why I need a very rich boyfriend:

Alexander Wang SALE PRICE £224

These babies!

I have wanted these since I saw them on the catwalk.

Oh my! They will go so nicely with my Alexander Wang shorts.

&&&&

Ksubi SALE PRICE £150.50

If I were Bambi Northwood Blyth I would get these for free.

Maybe I should poach her boyfriend Dan of Ksubi, that way I hit two birds with one stone

and I would get to hang out with The Cobrasnake.

RADDDDICALLLL

I don't think this is asking too much, I mean they are both in the sale.

I could buy one of them with my next pay check but then I won't be able to afford a semester in Sydney next year. Compromises suck.
I would happily settle for my cousins sloppy seconds, she went out with a Russian billionaires son and another really rich guy. One of them was going to buy her a Tiffany ring but she broke up with him before he gave it to her. Crazy right?!
Where can I meet people like this?

Once I get this piece of work in tomorrow I will actually have some spare time left to blog something a little more interesting. Bare with me you lovely people!

NYFW: Alexander Wang s/s 2011

more: style, vogue

As one of the youngest and successful designers currently, Alexander Wang recognizes what his minimalist, fashion savy, customers admire from his collections.  I was first introduced to his style, while reading a Teen Vogue issue years ago, before his line was margilized in the fashion industry.  Posing next to his model pal, & fashion icon, Erin Wasson, he was still on the verge of debuting his line & gaining praise by prominent fashion editors. Since then, the basic (and perfetly loose) T look (t-shirt) has been renovated to become an essential in every girl's wardrobe.

In his previous collections, Wang flourished his line with edgy-black looks, & quickly became reputable for dark, black monochromatic schemes. As for his new Spring collection, he went directly the opposite road (or shall I say, catwalk) to add color and vibrance . He explains, "I wanted to move away from that hard, tough, aggressive, urban mood I've become known for. So there's no black, not even a hint of black." Clearly, the luminous flow of whites, creams, & pastels portrayed the "pure" and "optimistic" feel he was going for. The casual and loose fit infers, less is more, and feeling sexy and comfortable at the same time.  Sheer shirts, quilited textures, silk silhouettes, compliment one another. The touch of the laced shoes/boots juxtaposed against the clothing is what I've been noticing as a growing trend. Finally, I thought the white paint on the models' hair is exactly the icing on the cake of the collection.

MAYBE I'M JUST TOO DEMANDING

Alexander Wang velvet backpack/Mischa Barton

First of all I love this look from Mischa, you never really see much of her, and lately she's been up and down on the weight scale but here she looks great. Also this alexander wang backpack is just incredible, I love it so much, I really really want one. Sorry I haven't been posting much, been doing a lot, Mock exams are coming up and my friends and I are redecorating our common room so I'm spending some nights after school. The other day my friends and I made a Spring Clean day in the comm and somehow during this clean I got a black eye from being overenthusiastic in my scrubbing of the doors. It hurts like a bitch

Pixies and Puritans

How does Fashion react to the recession?
The way I see it there are 5 different ways:
1. Do what we did last time; the fail safe.
2. Look back in to the past, because things were so much better back then.
3. Ignorance is bliss.
4. Work, work, suits and work.
3. Escape in to a land of fantasy.

Number 5 is my personal favourite, and it seems many of the designers that have so far shown at New York Fashion Week for s/s 10 would also agree. Inspired by Fairies, Pixies, Nymphs and old Folk tales of Puritans and Soldiers, the collections are rather beautiful.
