NYFW - Rodarte

I'm barely ever disappointed by Rodarte and this season I fell in love with them all over again. This S/S the collection was inspired by "Dungeons and Dragons" which translated through armour like embellishment and heavy metal belts. From patent leathers and chain mail, the designer duo made what seemed like a Gothic cauldron of a concept into the most beautiful ethereal and wearable concept ever.




Technique were shown off in every look, from a woven jumper match with a cubic print skirt, who would have thought those two would have worked so well? So many elements in this collection shouldn't have worked but it did. Sky blue with burnt orange silk, lime punch with patent leather, but it worked ad I loved it.

Silhouettes mixed between feminine and masculine, harsh lines versus fluidity. It was a real fantasy come true which appeals to every girl I can imagine, from provcative lace to androgynous leather. Oh and don't forget the shoes, forever flawless!

Poser #3 First day

After getting my job, I thought it was only natural to post an outfit of what I wore on my first day (ok it was the second day because I was too tired to take a picture).  I really like the background of this picture, its so atmospheric and fashion, well actually I just wanted natural lighting. There's no where really to take photos in my house.

I decided upon an oversized minimal look. I like to mix leather with denim, threw in a bit of neon to brighten it up. Big chunky shoes and a little hat to top it off. These shoes are so comfy, definitely recommend them if you saw them in my androgyny post.

Splurge, Spend or Save - Androgyny

It's been a while since i've done one of these, I've been waiting for the right time and right trend and I'd thought I'd post this before my 3 day birthday bender starts. Fashion is in a bit of limbo at the moment, preparing for fashion week for September! However the androgynous look has been around for a while but has only trickled into main stream within the last year or so. It's becoming quite the essential trend for Autumn/Winter. As much as I wish there was a summer I'm pretty sure it's coming to an end either way. Stores are now ridding of their summer wear and bringing in the new collections for this coming season. Think harsh lines, simple and tailored. I'm looking forward to wearing leather and looking all black.

I love the symmetry and the two tone. The darts keep it flattering while the leather gives it edge. A versitile piece.

It's rather edgy, I like the bold shoulders and the slim fit arms, slimline.
