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.

“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.

Alexander McQueen vs Forever21

Leather fuchsia Alexander McQueen flats are really cute for summer. Such sandals are must-have for shorts or mini-skirt, when it’s hot outside. I normally have 3 – 5 pairs of such beach sandals. These are available at Net-a-Porter for $685, too much for them I think. So, I’ve found very similar at Forever 21 just for $7.50! Compare:
