April 6, 2009

Glad­i­a­tor ankle san­dals are spring’s must-have footwear style and in a chic anthracite tone this leather pair from Belle by Siger­son Mor­ri­son will add an urban edge to even the sim­plest cot­ton day dress.

Chanel vs Forever21 vs bebe

April 5, 2009

Chanel jelly thong san­dals were hits of pre­vi­ous sea­sons and sold out imme­di­ately. The price was about $350! Too much for jelly flip flop, isn’t it? You can find blue at Blue­fly for $220 (was $275), pink at eBay for $419.95. At the Spring-Summer Resort 2009 show Mr. Lager­feld offered black and white camel­lia flower ver­sion with price about $350. Let’s have a look at them all:

Retrospective to Balenciaga Fall 2006: Inspired by Mary-Kate

March 31, 2009

Mary-Kate Olsen has unique and very spe­cific fash­ion style. Some­body love it, oth­ers hate. Well, it’s ok. I per­son­ally adore her over-sized dresses and tees, her trenches and espe­cially her shoes. Can’t wait her own shoe col­lec­tion. Of course, not only me love her looks, one of my gen­tle read­ers asked me to find sim­i­lar to Mary-Kate boots.

Let’s look at these boots on Mary-Kate:

Care­ful reader and fan of Mary-Kate notices, that she’s wear­ing the boots for a while. I mean they are not from last col­lec­tion. And that’s good, I mean she is a sort of devoted per­son who wears the piece many times, despite sev­eral sea­sons passed.

I’m sure you also like them :) Wanna have sim­i­lar but for less money?

Kate Moss for Topshop: New Collection

March 31, 2009

Great news again!
After nine sea­sons work­ing together Kate Moss and Top­shop have hit upon a win­ning fash­ion recipe. Take a large dol­lop of skinny jeans and flirty dresses, add some leather and suede for rock-chic bite, sprin­kle on some Gal­lic striped knitwear and bake in the sum­mer sun. This sea­son though, the recipe has a few extra ingredients.

Kate Moss for Topshop

“I love wear­ing prints, par­tic­u­larly in sum­mer and they’ve proved a real hit in my past col­lec­tions,” Moss explained. “Whilst research­ing the spring range we looked at loads of old prints and most of my favourites orig­i­nated from the Lib­erty archive.“
“Col­lab­o­rat­ing with the print stu­dio was an amaz­ing expe­ri­ence,” Moss revealed. “The team are so knowl­edge­able and were very open to my ideas. The cap­sule range fea­tures orig­i­nal colour com­bi­na­tions exclu­sive to my spring col­lec­tion.“
The spring/summer 2009 offer­ing will also fea­ture Moss’ first under­wear out­ing with bras and pants in black lace and cot­ton florals.

They tell: “She sym­bol­izes the essence of the mod­ern chameleon, the per­fec­tion of a nat­ural beauty as well as the provoca­tive woman, the desire to express the range of her per­son­al­ity from seduc­tress to inno­cent, all of which is at the heart of the collection”.
