I'll be here when you're ready

Acne AW11
Ok this needs to stop. It would appear I am a glutton for punishment as no matter how hard I try I cannot deviate from looking at LFW and the fact that the AW collections are sending me reeling!
Acne showed an especially scrumptious display that makes me think of a 90's/70's cross pollination.. two of my favouritest eras (along with the 30's but that's another story for another time) I love the casual use of coloured leather - you can never have enough on this in my opinion, and structured jackets.
Johhny Johansson is a dem-god when it comes to perfect draping and masculine tailoring in a feminine way *swoon*
The blue look is all I want in my life, to look like a wayward water nymph.

Late night and feeling fine

Inspiration in the wee hours: Big fringe and cerise lips, bright colour blocking, Anna dello Russo, anything with a train, red, contrasting florals from Nookie SS10

Just coz i said it, don't mean that i meant it

Blazer: Zara
Trousers: Zara
Shirt:Zara
Bag: miu miu
Shoes: christian louboutin
Jewellery: House of Harlow, topshop, vintage
Went for some drinks with a some of my male friends... it's always interesting being the only girl with a bunch of males on 'the hunt' their mentality never fails to amuse and amaze me, they have really taken heed from the gypsy art of 'grabbing'.
These shoes are one of my Christmas buys, so beautiful, mostly comfortable, and completely lethal when you have had a few drinks... I spent half the night on my backside from tripping over.
Red pants always make me feel like a super hero and these are no exception, I love Zara for perfect fitting cigarette trousers, in my humble opinion the best the high street has to offer.

Be Schouler my beating heart

As much as it makes me uneasy to the point of hyper ventilating that the AW ready to wear collections are being shown already (I have only just begun to get my head around how I am going to attain numerous coveted garments from the SS collections) I have to take a minute to celebrate Porenze Schouler. At NY fashion week Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough ruled the runway and I have to say I am love, love, loving the grown up/ Aztec take on western Boho (many references there, so you know it has to be good if they pulled them ALL off) Still harbouring resonance of the SS themes, so colour blocking, orange of all shades and jazzy, jazzy prints, PS (I abbreviate because I feel we're 'there' now) have me all a fluster over the next wave of autumn... It takes very strong men to have that effect. Also, is it just me or is there a slight air of Missoni on acid about it? Bloody marvellous.
The first and last looks be my fav.

Happy February the 15th

So yesterday was the day of St Valentine.
As much as I love a good irrelevant holiday (by that I mean a day that harbours absolutely no connotations towards it's origination but presents are mandatory) valentines day is a completely sit on the fence situation with me.
On the one hand I find it tacky and forced and resent the commercialisation, on the other hand every girl just wants to be showered with affection and flowers right?

Milky tea

I love Lea T. Not only does she have hair that would make Rapunzel green with envy but her beauty and confidence is astounding. More feminine than many 'real' women, I love how she has not only completely conquered the fashion world as the first transsexual model, featuring in such high profile campaigns, Riccardo Tisci's Gievenchy fall campaign 2010 being the most notable but she's sucking face with Kate Moss on this months 'LOVE' cover.
Bringing to light the importance of expression within sexuality and gendre, you go girl, or boy... either way you're fabulous!

The truth rarely mirrors the romance

I have spent most of today reading inspiring magazines, books, looking at beautiful photos on the Internet and watching YouTube clips of Sean Lennon. I am in a state of lucid perdition at the moment and this song depicts my mood perfectly.
