School

Soooooo like it is back to school, back to the books and (uhgg) back into the uniform. I make the uniform work for me (hehe yes that was a bit of vanity) but it is true, you can't imprison my fashion expression (and that was the rebel in me)!!!! Inspired by the uniform I decided to post about a bit of a 'foramal' Winter/Fall look.

Allison Blouse

Silk DKNY skirt, dare I say more...

Gucci Python Clutch

Alexander McQueen Titanic Ballerina Pumps

Hope you like, why not pop a comment on your opinion of this look, do you think it works?
I guess this post turned out into another style guide haha.

It is Winter my fashion addicts and this is the one season we can all go crazy, experiment and dress to kill with the variety of clothing choices we have this time of the year...So here I have selected a few items to fix up and improve any shabby look you may have going...Pride ourselves in the way we look. "When we look good, we feel good. These are the fundamentals to emotion in fashion"-Shizi, being that said these items are amazing haha I love them and I think most people can pull the look off.

This elegant white ruffled jacket will give you a clean and edgey look while keeping you warm.

Why not colour block the white jacket with jet black skinnies to give you a sophisticated casual look...

Now have this t-shirt peeping through your white jacket against your black skinnies and we have the STATEMENT, this will stand out I assure you.

Just Cavalli Resort 2012

Hello to all my fashion addicts! I have just seen the new collection and I say PRACTICAL AND BEAUTIFUL. In the new resort collection for the Just Cavalli line of the brand, Roberto Cavalli has mastered outfits for all occasions. So let me take you through a few of my favourite pieces from this gorgeous collection. I sense 60's inspiration hehe, I see most of my friends buying this collection, it is contemporary and youthful. The contrats of studded biker jackets with bold colours and skinny jeans are chic and bold statements. They say a picture says 1000 words, so you decide on what you think of the collection, below are my favourite pieces...

Thanks to style.com for the pictures.

I will update this post at a later stage with more of my opinion, I want to see what you think first of this collection so feel free to drop a comment...

P.S this post is homage to Fashion Girl.

Inspiration...Chanel Haute Couture 2011

Hmmmm...Inspiration we all need it, thrive on it and use it to our advantage. Inspiration comes from many things such as a simple colour to a breath taking scene of the Himalayas. For me...in the fashion world I have to say it is Madame Chanel the epitome of elegance, class and sophistication(my three pillars to life). I watched the Coco Chanel Haute Couture Show recently and I must say in all honesty I fell inlove with the collection, such flair, experimentation and homage to Chanel.

Armani Prive was running with the obsession of pants, Karl Lagerfeld(LIVING LEGEND) threw something completely different at our faces with this collection. THE SKIRT HAS RETURNED TO THE WORLD OF FASHION! Maxi or midi, slim-line or fish-tail, every outfit had a skirt.

Lagerfeld made good use of suits that had the peplum-over-narrow-skirt silhouette with structured double row buttoned jackets. A hefty use of tweed as well as shimmery material. Black, white and gray ruled the runway, but what left me tearing in pure bliss was the veils across the models eyes! Chic and FAB! I do admit it has an extreme retro and vintage feel but it is homage to madame and there are critics out there of this collection, obviously they don't understand what haute couture is all about.

Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall Winter 2011/2012 Paris Fashion Week

The collection designed by Dior’s new creative director Bill Gaytten and his assistant Susanna Venega was shown in extravagence at Paris Fashion Week. The collection could be best described as sophistication with a population of colour. Flamboyant prints were all the eye could see in the haute couture collection called ‘La Rose Moderne’.

Bill Gaytten channelled retro 70′s-80′s style with a modern finish (I salivated at the Post-Modernism he had going in this collection) a true genius with a bright future as creative director. Brilliant colors, as well as soft pastels, were sewn into bold and eccentric patterns.

The variety of cuts and styles were fun and flirty. This collection exploded onto the runway and attained the sheer elegance and individuality of each piece. The tones were burning in reds, oranges and yellows that faded to blues, greens and nude shades. Pink jackets, 50’s inspired skirts, candy-hued dresses, architectural shapes blened with chiffon, bold make-up and big hair created sophistication I described the show with.

The grand finale(SPECTACULAR) was filled with fairytale gowns and had such a mystical aura like being awake but dreaming, very dramatic and I believe that's what one needs for the success of Haute Couture!
