Lanvin vs Topshop

anna — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 08:21:42 +0000

Do you remember this leopard Lanvin dress? This Spring-Summer season it was one of the most wanted :) At the runway show you could see this mini version:

This dress is almost sold out everywhere, the only place where you can buy it is Matches:

However, just yesterday I’ve found in Topshop not a dress, but a very beautiful top in Lanvin style. You can try it with leggings or mini skirt, to get wild and sexy look :)

You could see this dress at least five times! Maggie Gyllenhaal was wearing long version, while Bibiana Fernández and Charlotte Collard look very sexy in their mini version:

While Lisa Airan and Aerin Lauder decorate their outfit with a black belt:

Myne olive summer skirt: Vanessa Hudgens’s choice

anna — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 19:53:14 +0000

I’m always not sure about which skirt to buy. I’m always not sure which shoes I should wear to some skirt and so on… But this time when I saw this nice multi-coloured summer skirt and how Vanessa Hudgens paired with simple black tank — I just wanted the same! :) This one is by Myne, you can purchase it at Shopbop ($191) and at Singer22 ($220):

I decided to search a bit and found some other great alternatives. At Asos you can buy the identical pink and green floral print skirt with stretch cotton:

You can also find nice skirts at GoJane and LuLu’s:

At Dorothy Perkins you can find multi rose barrel mini skirt; and at Macy’s you can find a great watercolor floral print skirt at discount for $39.99:

Of course, at Topshop you can find even four alternatives: roses prom skirt, blurred pansy print egg skirt, splash egg mini skirt and print zip back bodycon skirt! Have a look at these:

Vanessa wore it while visiting her friends at Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon (April 30):

When I saw these heart cutout Marc Jacobs pumps, I thought what a great flats for summer! I loved them, but the price is as usual too high… even now they’re are available at discount at Net-a-Porter:

I was so happy to see these affordable alternatives by GoJane in various colours:

At MakeMeChic you can find them in green, yellow, pink and white:

Finally, I’ve found some nice alternatives at Topshop in navy blue, grey and black, which are not exactly matchy, but definitely inspired by Marc Jacobs:

SkullSpective to Spring-Summer 2009

anna — Wed, 06 May 2009 09:14:31 +0000

This is one of my favourite posts, I call it “Spective”. Either Retro- or AnimalSpective, today is about SkullSpective :) to frighten sticky guys at the party :)
I must say I love graphic tees, and skulls always look interesting and attracting, the last is mostly important :) There is a skull tees set you can try this summer :)
Alexander McQueen is a skull master in some sense: this tank is available at Farfetch, while at Topshop you can find not less attractive one:

Next white tees are by McQueen and dELiAs. Meadow skull tee ($475) is available at Zapos, bird skull tee ($375) — at Farfetch. However, at dELiAs you can find very similar one for much less money, Garden Skull by dELiAs:)

At dELiAS you can also find very funny skull tees: Stars Skull and Sunglasses Skull

Asos also offers quite nice skull print tanks: Floral Skull and Rock Skull. At Net-a-Porter I’ve also found Markus Lupfer Flower Skull sweater, whose flower “face” is very-very similar to Asos one! :) Compare:

Christopher Kane vs Topshop

anna — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 12:35:24 +0000

Black fitted stetch jersey dress by Christopher Kane at Spring-Summer 2009 ready-to-wear chow. I like this dress for its rebellious spirit :)

The long sleeve dress has a large photographic multi-coloured print of a mandrill’s face on the front. It has a round neck and raglan sleeves. The dress is available at Farfetch. However at Topshop you can find Gorilla vest tee, resembling Kane dress a lot. Compare:

Proenza Schouler vs Topshop vs Miss Selfridge

anna — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 16:35:34 +0000

Proenza Schouler bandage pencil skirt is very provocative! It only looks very simple, but it’s not. Luxe viscose crépe mini fits like a glove. You can pair it with heels or flats, with tank and vest.

It’s available at Saks:

Well, anyway I think almost one thousand is too much for skirt in crisis times :) So, I’ve found great alternatives. At Topshop you can find similar panelled bodycon skirt in black and turquoise:

However, reading one of my favourite blogs by The Girl In A Cashmere Daze about a great online shop Miss Selfridge, I’ve found in this shop many interesting pieces. The good thing is that they ship in Europe, USA and Australia!

AnimalSpective to Spring-Summer 2009

anna — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 20:00:45 +0000

This time I decided to show you fun and new look with animal print. Tanks and tees with prints to add some real safari chic to your summer wardrobe are really irreplaceable. Great with skinny jeans or denim skirts, sandals and large leather totes. One interesting detail: there are should be exactly two animals :)

Forever21 offers peacocks, parrots and zebras:

dELiAs offers zebras and giraffes:

Topshop also offers zebras, while Torn shows off leopards:

Torn by Ronny Kobo offers gold zebras, black and white zebras and cheetahs:

Couple of wild animals on your tee is a great choice for summer! My favourite are Topshop zebras and dELiAs giraffes, and what is your choice?

Lanvin vs Topshop

anna — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:30:48 +0000

Animal print is a big trend for this season! Dresses, sandals, cardigans, trenches… everything is about animals! This time I offer you nice animal print skirts.
At Spring-Summer 2009 fashion show Lanvin offered animal print dresses and skirts, and they became very popular among celebrities. This zany leopard print skirt is fun to wear and easy to style. Keep the outfit simple with a cool t-shirt or tank, gladitor sandals and a large tote or dare to dress it up with a silky black top, strappy sandals and a clutch. It’s available at Mytheresa for $997. However, Topshop helps us by offering two nice animal print skirts: leopard print bodycon skirt for $44 and pencil skirt for $80. Just look at them:

Sometimes it’s so cool to be a wild animal!

Kate Moss for Topshop: New Collection

anna — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 11:02:03 +0000

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.

Let’s have a look at this:

Tops

Blazers and Jackets

Day Dresses

Evening Maxi Dress

Evening Mini Dress

Lingerie
