Hermès Sets The Trend For AW 10/11.

AW 10/11 is the year for:

*fur mixed with leathers

*maximum lengths 

*maximum comfort

*English country chic

*knits

*tailored suits

and Hermès hits the nail right on the head this season. Who am I kidding, we can't all afford Hermes but it can definitely inspire us this season :)

these are my favourite colours for this season's fur

What do you think of Hermès this season? Have you always been a fan?

I started my first day at fashion college today... it was quite a long day but I'm so excited to finally get started with my course! Had introductory lessons about Merchandising which is what I want the side of retail I would like to go into in the future. In my course I'm also going to be covering things like:

*personal styling/shopping

*visual merchandising - so designing window displays

*buying - also known as the "sexy" and "glamourous" side of retail (can't wait)

I'm just generally so excited and to be honest have never been this keen to study in my life which says a lot! :)

Btw, would you like me to in the future share what I've been studying in fashion etc. or would that bore you to death? I don't want to do that.

One thing I'm not too excited about is that my college is situated right off Oxford Street and for those of you have been or live in London you'll know that that will be unhealthy for me to be surrounded by London's busiest and most famous shopping-go-to street if you will.

Bird by Juicy Couture.

Pam Skaist-Levy & Gela Nash-Taylor, the masterminds of Juicy Couture, introduced a sister line for Fall 09; "Bird."

I love my Juicy and was exceptionally pleased to hear about Bird because they really did bring it home for me by taking inspiration from the English countryside. I've always felt Juicy to be a really casual (but gorgeous nevertheless) brand and I love it... but I was glad to see them take another perspective and go more... fashion.

Is the feeling mutual? 

I'm warming up to their Fall 2010 collection. I don't love everything on it, but the ones I do love, I love. And I've started to take the photography and model away from the outfit as I think has its way of making the outfit seem better than it might actually be... which is why I always have to look at items on the shop floor. Although fashion is art, I think that a good piece can shine on its own.

Here's the Fall 2010 collection:

What do you think? Although, I think there is a enough Bird by Juicy Couture out there and I love that Juicy Couture have their own niche clothing line... enter their tracksuits.

Rough Diamond.

The 60's were all about mix & match... here it is again for Fall 2010 by Topshop.

Prrr! :)

Cute, sexy, effortless & girly. What more could you want?

"The original idea behind Zadig et Voltaire is to create AFFORDABLE LUXERY. From the beginning, Zadig et Voltaire is a breath of fresh air, a dream factory, a producer of designs. My wish was also to create a French brand and a specific distribution network." 

- Thierry Gillier -

Luxery costs. Alot. But in my opinion this is really affordable luxery at one of its best! What do you think of Zadig Et Voltaire? What's an affordable luxery brand for you?
