wonder shoe

Ok, these shoes are so ridiculous, I'm getting them sooner rather than later!

It's a wear-whatever-and-still-look-good shoe, which is great for a quick getupandgo.

That's what I need. If I had to define my dressing-up routine, I'd say half of the time I'm lazy and put on whateva, and half of the time I'm willing to spend hours dressing up for a little cup of coffee, so these babies would come in handy for my lazy days.

They also double as heavy jewelry :)

And I'm excited that they'd go great with a little "naked" dress, as nude is still my top3 favorite color.

So, I have a s thing for dresses again.

Especially for the long ones.

A long dress is now on top of my "wanted" list. But I don't want that hippy, floral maxi dress, and it's not that I don't like them, I just want something understated (at first), but with a killer detail or just a cool accessory to go with.

I still haven't gotten over the nude phase. I never got enough items to be over it, I suppose. So it continues. My search for "nudity" continues.

Here's my favorite gal! She wears long dresses like no other.

I've posted about the super fun

Jeremy Scott Mickey glasses before (here's the post).

So, whoever finds them alluring as I do, can now buy them at Urban Outfitters

here.

But as they are super fun, they are also super expensive.

rochas & theyskens

I am sorry that you can't see more on Rochas' web site, but this will have to do.

This collection has all this wonderful elements that I like: sheer fabric, thin straps, silenced colors, open backs, some sequins and long sleeved dresses.

Olivier Theyskens use to work here. But it's been years...

His work here was spectacular, to no surprise, but it failed to follow the economic model it was supposed to. So Procter & Gamble decided to end Rochas in 2006. Fools!

Olivier went to Nina Ricci, debuting his first line in 2007. Again it was spectacular!

And as the fashion world gasped upon his genius, the ones handling the finances made a decision to, yet again, end his work, since it was not lucrative enough.

Ana Wintour was upset. Actually she was outraged. So she wrote a little something saying it's a sad day, when money wins over creation and that talent, such as his, shouldn't be thrown away...

I'm positive that had her reign extended over financiers' borders, they'd have gotten the off-with-their-heads.

Still Rochas lives!

In 2008 they named Marco Zanini the artistic director of the label and he's doing a good job.

The line, to me, is a bit reminiscent of Olivier. It's sheer and light and feminine and soft.

Olivier however is currently residing at Theory, and here is the collection.

It's not at all the demicouture we're use to, but it's elegant, wearable and semi affordable.

I said it once and I'll say it again:

Ballet & Fashion is a lethal combination that makes time stand still...

Who even wants summer, if you can't wear cozy sweaters and cardigans?

This goes well with the post I had about the 2.55 bag.

Now I see, I'm not over it yet.

more florencia kozuch!

Florencia part II...

Textures, materials, embroidery, knitting - delicately soft and fiercely structured with details reminiscent of tribal artifact. The silhouettes look like something from a fairy tale, and I mean that in the best possible way!

Oh it's bold alright! But it's wearable, wonderful & completely thought-through.

Bravo Florencia! You are going places!

An interview form Fault Magazine:

FAULT: How are you feeling about your debut at this season’s London Fashion Week?

Florencia: I’m very exited, if not a little terrified! I cannot think of a better platform to do my catwalk debut. It’s a great opportunity for a young designer and I’m really looking forward to it.

FAULT: Argentinean tribes and rock’n'roll acted as inspiration for your graduate CSM collection. Where have you found inspiration for this season?

Florencia: Well, this season is a mix-mash of all things Argentinean – from crocodiles to sea urchins, gaucho hats, riding trousers and wools from the Patagonia. I’ve been producing my collection in my home city of Buenos Aires, working with local manufactures and traditional products. So I hope you will see a slicker collection but I’m still experimenting with textures and silhouette.

FAULT: Textiles play a vital role in your design aesthetic. What sort of detailing can we expect to see at Fashion Week?

Florencia: This time there will be embroidered sea urchin spikes – some painted and some in their natural colour – masks and necklaces as well as interesting knits. I have used chunky virgin wool for coats and hot pants. There are also some reptile armour-like details in Cayman skin from Formosa.

FAULT: Which is your favourite piece and why?

Florencia: At the moment I am sea urchin obsessed! So I guess it’s the open back black and blue dress with embroidered spikes.

. . . . .

And here are 3 photos of her new pieces I think.

How a simple detail makes all the difference...

Iro is one of my favorite fashion houses. True story! It's that gut feeling that I get whenever I like something so very much, that everything is just right and as it should be. And Laurent and Arik Bitton can do no wrong!

A few perfect summer 2010 looks. The slouchy sweatshorts and leather shorts are the shit!
