ASOS : ABSOLUTE CHELSEA BOOTS.






I got a pair of boots, velvet boots from asos...erm I don't wear heels its not really my preference usually but I don't mind trying new things. These are my first pair of heels, ever I feel weird, I guess I'm saying hello to my womanhood (dry laugh). I love the colour of the velvet, it's a bit bright but I can live with it, the heel is a bit high it took me a while to actually try and walk in them but I'm pretty swell now I can walk like a supermodel in them (hahaha). They were on sale coming to a tidy price of £31 which is a good price for boots of this material and type, Chelsea boots are big trend, and boots with chunky heels are a top-notch trend for Autumn/Winter wardrobe.

Okay, pros and cons, they shoes are lovely, the colour the material, they are well made and they are comfortable, I wore them for 9hrs (on a shoot) and my feet did not have a single blister (miracle) I know. Cons of the shoes, I'm a size 8 the asos size came up a little bit small but after one wear they stretched out and fit me perfectly now, they have them in patent black, I personally think they are nasty but if that is the way your boat floats then get a pair! That is me in the above photograph, I styled it with black ankle cropped jeans and an blue stripy "boyfriend" sized shirt, it belongs to my Dad, thanks Daddy.

Paradisaical Pink.


L2R : CELINE - PAUL & JOE - MIU MIU - SIMONE ROCHA. 

Pink is a colour people either love or hate, with it's strong notions of femininity, the colour has popped up numerous times on the Autumn/Winter 2013 catwalk, from a vast selection of designers. I myself don't see the delight people take in the colour pink but due to the AW13 catwalk shows, I have been slightly exposed to it's paradisaical side.

A certain extravagances is shown from the colour itself and it's spectrum, pale pinks offer an outfit a sense of purity and innocence while the catatonic neon pinks offer a rawness and vibrancy to pieces. Pink can hold it's limitations, I wouldn't normally associate pinks pale or other with Autumn or Winter pieces but designers say other, a lot of designers are using pinks for jackets and coats, the usage of pink and the combination of
I wouldn't personally wear them but due to the precise clean cut tailoring the colour becomes instantly flawless.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER COUTURE AW13.








Meooow! Jean Paul Gaultier is playing with the big cats, the big female cats, for his fall couture collection. 

A celebration of the female as a predator is an evident motif of this collection, through the figure-hugging pieces and catwoman motifs. Women in this collection are seen to be totally female and totally animal...the dominant and almost animalistic aspects of the  female sexuality are fully exploited through the choices of fabric and colouring on Gaultier's part, I love the harking back to key symbols such as Grace Jones, Madonna and Bjork. The names of the pieces are surrounding the subject of women being man eaters “Pussy Faster” which despite its name is a leopard-print biker jacket with over defined should pads. Gaultier paraded down his runway nostalgia from the era of the eighties, broad shoulder pads, over sized hips, body defined outlines; the exaggeration of the female form through silhouettes is evident from this collection.

The hair I thought was a stunning touch, sprayed on cheetah spots with sometimes nodding cone -quiffed hair, as well as the clothes this really embodied the presence of the female inner animal! As well as the eighties being of inspiration to Gaultier, David Bowie was of inspiration to as we see from the wedding dress at the end; songs from David Bowie albums were also used as the name of some of the outfits. Suffragette City was the black velvet dress which incorporated a fiery orange petticoat and matching cheetah prints tights and shoes.

Katie Eary [Pt.2]



                           (IMAGES ARE NOT MINE, COURTESY OF KATIE EARY)

Katie Eary, the electric British designer has been on the fashion scene since 2010, her clothes have been worn by Kanye West, Rihanna, Frank Ocean, Jaden Smith and many more. Since 2010 I've been watching out for Ms Eary, the thing I most admire about her clothes are the vibrant colors and eye-popping designs, her clothes hold psychedelia traits to them and not many designers are doing what Ms Katie Eary is doing.

Katie's strongest strength is her menswear clothes but she also has a womenswear line, as I am a lady, I should be interested in the womenswear, but the menswear is just so attractive don't get me wrong the womenswear it's just not really my style. I also love the urban wear streaks to Eary's line, her choice in Jordan footwear is just a top-notch decision, my favorite pieces are the Black Arowana Sweater, Golden Gate Long sleeve Neoprene Sweater and the Gold Fish Jeans, she is also know for her Screaming Cheetah's  T-shirt which was worn by Rihanna. Lads Katie also has some great decks for your skateboards, pimp out yo skateboards!

Eary's pieces are quite expensive pricing in at £300+ but they are totally worth it, they are pieces which are guaranteed to improve everybody's and anybody's wardrobe.
