  • LINKS A LA MODE: September 29th

    I’m very happy to say I was featured once again in IFB’s Links a la Mode this week for my “Wear the runway trend now – Purple Hues at Prabal Gurung” post. Thanks to the lovely team at IFB for the choosing my post!

    Spring Forward, Fall Back

    Edited by: Collette Osuna of Statements in Fashion

    I’m not sure about you, but just as men look forward to Fall for sporting events that keep them on the couch, I look forward to Fall for my own selfish reasons……adding to my closet collection!

    If you enjoy sipping a cup of coffee while you browse your favorite online shopping sites, or if you prefer to rise with the sun to open the doors of your favorite Mall, Fall shopping is the time for you.

    Thanks to Fashion Week, we have all had a chance to peek at the newest clothing, boots and accessories that will be filling up retail stores everywhere this season.

    This weeks links focus on hot Fall runway trends, Collection debuts, DIY’s, makeup & hair tips, and even how to manage deadlines. Fall is back bloggers, and with a vengeance!

  • Wear the runway trend now | Rock n Roll style at Just Cavalli S/S12

    Wear the runway trend now | Rock n Roll style at Just Cavalli S/S12

    I’m currently in the middle of a very hectic first week back at University so I’ve only just managed to catch up fully on the Milan Fashion Week collections for Spring/Summer 2012.

    One collection which certainly caught my eye was the Just Cavalli presentation. Encompassing the everything sexy about the label the collection had a retro Rock n Roll feel with an added boho twist. From leather to both leopard and snake prints to flowing dresses and shirts, though a S/S collection, I could definitely spot pieces that would easily work into an Autumn/Winter wardrobe.

    Below I’ve picked a few of my favourite pieces from around the web to help inspire you to re-create this look now before it becomes big in the Summer.

    This is probably the easiest collection of pieces to incorporate into an Autumn Wardrobe with all the darker colours and leather. But once it hits Summer will look great during festival season!

  • Wear the runway trend now…Metallics at Giles S/S12

    Wear the runway trend now…Metallics at Giles S/S12

    With all my fangirling over the Burberry Prorsum and Mulberry runway shows I very nearly missed the Giles S/S12 collection. As always it was wonderfully eccentric and full of beautiful Gaga-worthy gowns and tailored pieces with a simple colour palette of primary reds, white, nudes, black and the main trend I want to showcase…metallic silver.

    This particular trend is very hard to pull off, but I’ve picked out some items you can buy now to incorporate into your Autumn/Winter wardrobe without looks like a Christmas ornament

    The trick to making them look more “Giles” is to go for simple designs and classic shapes. And as great as the full-on silver suit above looks on the runway, translating it into real life may be pretty hard to pull off. So go for one statement silver item at a time or accessories using shoes or jewellery.
