So it's almost winter. && I have thinking about getting new boots.
But, everyone is wearing UGG Boots.
I have always worn UGG.
GIve up on my beloved UGGies? NO WAY!
Ah-ha. What about designer booties?
Hence, the Chanel UGGies! yay!
On a different note...
Fifth Annual CFDA/VogueFashion Fund Awards (in NYC)
November 18th: p.s. Alex Wang won.. yay!
In the heart of New York, what better place to seek the inspiration and design from style central?
YES PLEASE!
Charlie Theron
Charlie Charlie, always a classic beauty. Putting a subtle twist to the LBD with to-the-side patent leather bows. & most scandalous of all, the sheer fabric climbing up those leggers.
Amy Astley, in Thakoon, and Chanel Iman, in Daughters.
Iman, looking smart, aren't we? Taking hints from the newest trend in haute couture, Gentlemen-ly ways. She looks amazing with the balloon-shaped high-waisted pants, bringing in feminine touches with that lovely butterfly bow.
Blake Lively
Only Blake could pull this look off. Excellent concept tho. Show less, want more. Very classy.
Not sure about the boots tho, think the look would be much gentler with flats.
2008 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist Alejandro Ingelmo with Agyness Deyn, in shoes of his design.
Agyness Agyness... when are you going to stop fascinating us with your tough girl appeal? Want to know how red is done properly? this is red done properly. Not overdone but knowing that red is a strong color and needs to be muted with black tones. New thing? Match the lips to the shoes.
Harvey Weinstein and Georgina Chapman, in her own design for Marchesa
Love how simple this ensemble is... One-tone tube dress with flower details. Excellent with minimal accessories and color-toning pumps. Also note tube dress line, it's shaped in a bent line which allowing for enhancing curvature of body vs a straight line.
DONT'S!
For the sake of them, let's keep them unnamed...
errr... what is this totally sheer-ness? It unflattering to the bust and legs. Makes it look like she has horrible bow-legged-ness. If it's sheer top, no sheer bottom perhaps? This outfit sits nowhere in between.
She has an excellent body. But with such a sexy tight bondage dress, it kinda feels like she has to soften it uup to avoid being TOO overboard. Perhaps, let down the hair in loose waves? Remove the necklace for unnecessary clutter and make the shoes and bangles match, wither gold or silver. Pick one, I would go with gold to better match her skin tone.
I know it's all the rage to overlap and layer different fabrics and textures this season, but sequins and feathers in one go? Too much. With any luxe piece, to avoid looking like an over-decked Christmas Tree, pair it with plain trousers to have a more streamlined lined look?
TREND SPOTTING
One-piece jump-suits. Not only is it hot this winter, but look out for it in the summer with more willowy fabrics.....
