Shoe of the Week

Chaos and Harmony focus on form and function, with strong, sculptural styles that command attention (as any good shoe should!).  She's a beauty if you ask me. 

Spring Essentials

Spring is upon us which means the usual daffodils, tulips, easter bunnies and of course new trends in fashion. Since I returned from my extended festive season vacay (sorry for my MIAness) I have noticed a few trends already in stores that were shown on the SS2010 runway. Overalls and super cute jumpsuits in airy materials, the classic knee high and thigh high socks, and mon préféré colourful flats. 

Evolution of Fashion.

Fashion has a natural cycle of its own, which is more dependent on market and media forces than seasons or weather. Trends are predicted, recycled, set and followed. Seasons in fashion have shifted, designs are made and sold un-naturally early. You can buy your new winter coat when it's still warm outside and the leaves have yet to change or fall.


Though there are people that have big influence in the world of fashion, it can never be entirely controlled. Styles in fashion have their own life cycle, they go in and out of fashion. Though when they re-emerge evolution is visible. And so, yes, even shoulder pads come back.

Dear Santa,

Dear Santa,

I will be compiling my Christmas wish list online this year, beginning with these Marc by Marc Jacobs SS 2010 handbags.

More to come...

Shoe of the Week.

Kurt Geiger Eve £490.00

Spoiler Alert!!! Drumroll, Please.

And the winner of Project Runway Season 6 is...Mean-a-Irina Shabayeva. Although all three contestants had very unique collections for the final challenge, it was Irina who walked away with $100 000 to start her own line, a fab trip to Paris and an editorial spread in Marie Claire magazine. Despite the mass amounts of black and "the warrior women is not a new character"-Micheal Kors Irina's line was stunning and I thought it did measure up. Her fellow contestants dubbed Shabayeva Mean-a-Irina, will this reputation precede her?

Who Will Measure Up?

Project Runway Season 6 comes to a close this Thursday, when the final three designers Carol Hannah, Irina and Althea show their collections at Bryant Park. The three designers are doing very different collections Carol Hannah is doing a Duke-University-at-night-inspired line, Irina (aka little miss attitude) is incorporating silk-screened New York T-shirts under her Coney-Island -inspired collection, and last but not least my favorite Althea's line is inspired by sci-fi movies. Based on the peeks of the designs in the Finally Part 1 it looks like it will be an exciting show, especially since in the previews it shows Tim Gunn having a pre runway spazz backstage. Who are you gunning for (no pun intended)? To be continued...
