Zuhair Murad AW12

Think little red riding hood does haute couture. This is the vibe I'm feeling from Zuhair Murad's new collection.

The first photo is little red riding hood does velvet - very sexy. Although velvet is typically the goth fabric (which might I say is in fashion again now YES I SAID IT).I love the goth trend it lets us all be a bit wild and dark and mysterious haha!

The second photo is red lace, the ultimate sexy combination. The skater skirt adds innocence to the dress which makes it acceptable, if it was a bodycon, it could be mistaken for a sex outfit :S awks...but I think it looks expensive (one of Zuhair's talents) and I want it!

The third is my favorite dress. Little red riding hood goes nude! It withholds two of my favourite factors on a dress: black sequins on flesh fabric and a fishtail. The flesh fabric and black sequins reminds me of those old photoshoots where women were nude and their lady bits were covered in diamonds. It's so classic and regal. Nudity is now regal, everybody hear that? hahaha not quite. Although the texture of the skirt is exotic and enticing. Love love love.

The third dress is such a beautiful shade of teal. It is so fairy tale, it reminds me of the dresses the women wear in the Emerald City in childhood favorite The Wizard Of Oz. Although revealing the bust seems tacky when one hears that idea, when you see the dress, it is classically figure hugging and not tacky. No breasts are on show. It teases more than treats. (That means it tantalizes with your imagination but doesn't actually show you anything.)

I'm sure they're all extremely expensive and none of us will ever own one! But one can still dream...

Miu Miu AW13 Collection

Miu Miu's gone preppy!

With happy colours I couldn't help but write about them because they're so pretty and happy and prep! So fresh after past year of gothic leather-filled winter collections.

The first photo reminds me of the rich men who have mahogany filled libraries and those burgundy velvet grand chairs. It exudes expensiveness and class. The golden crest is so regal, it's all very high class. And so very desirable. The only thing that's missing is some golden tassels!!

The third photo is such a preppy skirt It feels 60's because of the circle pattern and the colours. It reminds me of the kitchen set in the film with Susie Salmon? Can't remember the film right now. It feels cheap...but it somehow therefor feels expensive. Like now that style of kitchen would be outdated but then it was bang on trend - that's how I feel about the skirt. I hope it's shorty because otherwise, chubby legs here we come!

The third photo first of all reminds me of two things; porcelain dolls and sleeping beauty. Porcelain dolls because it's so perfect and clean. Like dolls' make up, the perfect pink pert lips and accentuated black eyes. The outline of the pattern in thin black shadow makes it to much more bold. Sleeping Beauty because of the pink, simply. And it's so graceful. OOH and the white makes me think of the porcelain dolls' skin. So yeah. That's y comparisons over.

Finally, the baby blue blouse paired with a detailed sequined collar. The captures the best parts of the two sets of seasons (AW/SS). The baby blue sky colour and the glitzy collar from a Marbella styled warmer seasons and the icy edge to the color from the colder seasons. It reminds me of preppy school teachers in those stereotypical American 40's films with the 'Hairspray' styled hair and heels a la mode.

I wish I had enough money to buy these but HEY whatever. Window shopping is always fun...right?

Dolce & Gabbana's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection Review

I rather like this collection. It fades from serious classic bling in the form of gold on black to tropical prints with black lining keeping it winter-y.

(Apologies for the bad quality..and the fact I haven't posted for a while)

The first photo is one of the only pieces in the collection with white I it, although a cold color, it isn't used to much. The flowers contradict the season but it still feels frosty, the lace often means femininity but in this case shows a beautiful contradiction of lace meaning cold.

The second picture's outfit features on this months cover of ELLE UK, sported by Rosie Huntington-Whitley. This picture gives the piece no justice, as Rosie wears it well. It hugs all the correct Curves whilst maintaining a thin frame (hallelujah for black). It reminds me of Holland and Laderhosen...but in a good way. The floral pattern links to the previous piece but allows creativity and leeway only Dominico Dolce and Stefano Gabanna possess.

The third piece is velvet (oh how I love velvet) with a gold collar, which we all know is very 'in' right now. Except this is maxi bling. I see this outfit and think 'sophisticated cat in crystals'. Because the velvet reminds me of a black cat's shiny coat and the gold is a reflection of the beautiful handiwork performed by Swarovski (not on the dress). The black sports a sexy thin figure and the belt synchs in the waist, again eccentuating a small diameter. If only I could own it!

How beautiful? D&G never dissapoint, if that's one thing I've learnt. Take a look at the rest of the collection at http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/autumn-winter-2012/ready-to-wear/dolce-and-gabbana/full-length-photos/page/1

What I Wore @ Nicki Minaj

Well, I attended a Katy Perry concert a few Sunday's ago. Maybe 3? Not sure. Anyway, I really love these leggings, so I thought Id post pictures of me in them and my friends.

Firstly, my beloved Versace leggings. (From H&M) The flowery pattern draws your attention straight to them. The pattern also encompasses the chain link pattern which Versace has recently been so fond of, except in flower form. Flower power! I rolled them up to make them slightly casual? I had the whole 7/8 length jeans OR sailor trousers in mind. The blue and green react perfectly to the fuchsia. If you can't see these leggings from miles away, you're obviously blind.

My Barbie t-shirt is DIY. My mum bought an iron on logo and she just ironed it on. It's from eBay NGL. I didn't want to detract attention from the leggings so...yep.

My shoes are also DIY. I bought flatforms from Office, bought a stuffing and studs from eBay and put them on. I must say I'm so proud of them and it's safe to say the spikes helped me during that concert if you know what I mean ;).

Lastly, Id like to say, the concert was fucking awesome. If you can see the Minajinator, go see her. Get tickets. Shes fab.

Zara Sandals

Put your Doc Martens and Hunters away because a phenomenon has arrived.

Oh gosh. And Gone. So swiftly.

I've had my eye on these sandals for a while. They're sleek, chic and sexy.

The black oozes seductiveness and the straps accentuate the wearers ankle, which is probably a woman's, and skinny at that.

(Maybe ankles will be the new 'it' body part this summer? Haha, let's all get our ankles out!)

The open toe has a SS '12 feeling which is probably why these £30 stunners sold out in a few weeks.

Someone help me rewind time so I can buy these!

Decade Obsession

I have sat up to attention at my sudden desire to own 80's and 90's clothing. Although, currently I have no money to buy them with, so I'm settling for window shopping for now.

For example, I was scrolling through www.lookbook.nu recently and I came across a girl wearing a vintage, mink-colored, oversized tee with a pocket on. I'm not describing it well but paired with black and white flatforms and a backwards SnapBack, it was so 80's.

Another example is of the acid wash denim which I fucking adore. I already own a light colored denim jacket from rocket (£25 on sale) and a denim skirt like Rihanna's in her We Found Love video from Urban Outfitters (£40). But I yearn for 80's/90's cut jeans. The ones I have found are either too big for me, wouldn't suit me, or are £100.

Any suggestions?

I also have an Etsy account which is made for my own era needs. Its perfect for bargains! Although I haven't actually bought anything from there yet.

One more side to 90's clothing I have fallen in love with in the Grunge style. I have House of Holland Suspender Tights but I am desperate for the hold ups from Asos (picture below) for £9. I have a leather jacket from Forever 21 which I got for £27 which is my pride and joy and customized men's Primark tops which are grungy and OH just perfect.

Any more suggestions for sites or blogs or grunge sources or new clothing ranges - tell me immediately!

Katie Eary Appreciation

I recently discovered a new designer which I am highly fond of.

Katie Eary.

She is a menswear designer, yet women have caught on and adorned on her clothes, who is based in London. She graduated from the ROYAL COLLEGE OF ART AND GRADUATED IN 2008. She also makes all of the clothes herself. Using the finest Swarovski crystals, materials and sources.

One of her t-shirts, (top left of the photo from the S/S '13 collection) has been worn by the seductive star Rihanna at one of the recent festivals, Radio 1 in Hackney.

She rocked it with black Jonathan Aston fishnet shorts, Kanye West's Air Jeezy's for footwear, Mercura NYC sunglasses and a House of Lavande necklace. She looked AMAZING.

Katie's SS '13 collection is colorful, crazy and print-tastic. If I had the money, I would DEFINITELY buy it.

I talk too much

On this day, (Saturday), I went to Westfields Stratford City. On this trip I bought some plain men's t-shirts from Primark to gradient die and bleach. (Very excited for this, when it does occur, let me quickly say.)

And I have to say I favor this t-shirt so much. It reflects my personality so well! It was. subliminal message to those who feel they can jabber on at me. Not on that day. Not when I was wearing that t-shirt. Hey, let's face it, not EVER!

Please note, when talking to me, try not to rant as I loose interest. Only a 5/10 for listening skills. It's not rudeness i swear! It's a personality dysfunction - I don't meant it!

In addition, I love these genes, They make me feel androgynous, edgy, strong and surprisingly confident. They give me 'swag'. Am I cool yet?

Lastly, not sure if you can see but I drew all over my converse with my best friend, Lillie. If you see any inappropriate words, apologies.

Gypsy Skirt

This is infant a maxi dress from Topshop bought a few years back. However, I have since grown taller and it was short on me - it was atrocious - so I folded it inwards and VOILA, the skirt was born.

Honestly, I wasn't actually going anywhere on this day, it was a dress up session.

But I like this look, very hippy for me. Boho is new for me so I added a touch of me with the cross necklace.
