323. Getting high.

It's time to get high y'all, slip on those sexy leg lengtheners and feel amazing as well as pain. I've gone for a clear colour palette here, as I feel the monochrome, grey scale palette will be leading us into next season. So these shoes aren't just for Christmas but they're for next season too!

The cross body shoulder bag has been seen literally everywhere. Every single brand is doing one, they are pretty handy for a day to evening bag. Pop your phone, lipstick and keys and that's all you need. They are simple and stylish but I can undestand they would be a bit annoying. They haven't quite filtered into the high street just yet, but Zara have managed to keep up. Anyways check out the edit.

So we've seen the crop top re-emerge from our past last year and the trend has become even more popular this year. But next season it's taking a cooler chicer turn. At the moment they are fitted and showing off the midriff substantially. However next season the length will be slightly longer and a bit more angular making it less nineties and more now. Team it with a fitted midi skirt for a soft elegant day time look with a pair of strappy heels or for a more edgier look wear with high waist skinny fit trousers and boots.

None have tickled my fancy on the high street but I'm betting my Louboutins they'll come streaming in next summer. Just you wait!

Will you be rocking this trend?

NYFW - Proenza Schouler

Proenza Schouler has recently become the new designer about town after launching the brand in 2002. They've come a long way and this collection proved why they're successful. More of the boxy silhouette was see but these time in a lot more harsh lines and masculine feel. However this was later contrasted with pops and splashes of neon yellow and aqua blue. 

There was a high level of detail gone into this collection from the prints, bias cut and studding but all done in a beautifully down beat way. Lots of exoctic python skin in patchwork tones in refreshing bursts of lime punch and marine. The prints were composed to perfection, the colours worked cohesively and the cut of the clothes were more masculine than feminine how ever all the components balanced the look out.

This was definitely a collection was the cool kids of New York, using tumblr as a reference as well as being inspired by Gerard Richter. The styling was perfect and sold it to me in a heartbeat.

Winter Berry

We all love a good floral pattern and this winter, it's all about the dark side of nature. Forest berries entwined in woody thorns, brocade fabrics with embellished details. Opulence and intricate patterns. Deep reds and moss greens. Take a look and get inspired, I'll do a Splurge, Spend and Save soon to help you shop the trend.
