Top Five Pointed Shoes From Spring Summer 2013

Spring Summer 2013 brought many shoe options;

some were wedged, some had flatforms,

but the shoes I'm interested in are of the elegant, pointed variety.

Here are my top five:

 Plaid mules by Dries Van Noten.

Rectangular small heeled court shoes with bows and extreme pointy toes by Louis Vuitton.

My favourite; strappy lucite heels with studs in a nude colour by Valentino.

Two toned, patent high heeled slingbacks from Miu Miu.

Colourful Sicily inspired printed kitten heels by Dolce & Gabbana.

Do you like this kind of shoe and what do you think of my choices?

Sleek With A Twist

Currently craving: sleek hair with a twist. A far cry from my mad hair at the moment. Deep condition, hair straighter & serum, anyone? No rain or mist allowed.

Left to right, hair from Christian Dior, Valentino & Louis Vuitton.

Round And Round We Go With Louis Vuitton

Here we go round the Merry-Go-Round,

The Merry-Go-Round,

The Merry-Go-Round.

Here we go round the Merry-Go-Round.

On a decidedly lacklustre Tuesday Evening.

What Merry-Go-Round? Why, the Louis Vuitton one, of course. Lace collars and Broderie Anglaise dresses. Pastel colours and all the rest. Easy on the eye. Elle and Vogue show Louis Vuitton's designs at their best. Alexa Chung and Lana Del Rey. Pretty in Pastels and all the rest. 

Love the covers of Vogue UK and Elle UK for March 2012. Yes/No for you?

Pre Fall lusting when I should be blogging. Always. In my case.

Cat Woman Goes Couture

Well, well, well. Batman is coming back. When you have Batman, you have Catwoman. Anne Hathaway is going to be the catty one this time. Catwoman is fierce. Catwoman is scary. Catwoman is fashionable. I'm sure many fashionistas out there can identify with her.

So, without further ado, here are my Autumn-Winter/ Couture 2011 picks that would fit just right on catwoman.  
Miaow for like. Hiss for dis-like.

 

Catwoman goes 'casual': Catwoman should take a leaf out of Louis Vuitton's A-W collection. This outfit would be perfect for Catwoman to sashay around.Three words: Feminine. Feline. Fatale. The hat adds that extra je ne sais quoi. Let's just call her 'le chat avec mystique'.

Winter Time: Catwoman is from Gotham City. I don't know about you, but this city doesn't sound like it promises eternal sunshine. Cats get cold, too, you know. Don't worry Alexander McQueen will sort out her fear (Catwoman doesn't do fear, but if she did...) of cold. How could Catwoman refuse a coat like this. I mean it looks furry-licious to me. Those lace up boots will ensure that Catwoman stays true to her saucy roots.

Here Comes The Bride: Catwoman married? If Catwoman ever does get married, she has to choose a dress which represents who she really is. This beautiful Alexis Mabille Couture gown is just right. Spikes? Check. Black? Check. A hint of pink? Check. Perfect for Catwoman.

Forget about cheap, tacky plastic outfits, Catwoman is after the best collections Autumn-Winter and Couture can offer. You don't ever want to get on the bad side of her, after all. Remember, she has nine lives. And you? Just the one.

Authentic

Once a supermodel, always a supermodel. This certainly applies to Christy Turlington. She has been in the fashion business for over 20 years and her magnetic charm does not seem to be fading. From Chanel to Louis Vuitton, this woman can do no wrong. She is a very beautiful clothes horse. And her latest editorial (Elle France, December 2010) portrays this.

Christy is one of the original supermodels back from the 80s and 90s. Who out of that group is your ultimate favourite? Whether it's Naomi, Claudia or indeed, Christy- cast your votes!

PS: Belgium was fantastic. Nothing better than escaping reality for a while.

Don't skimp on the sleeves

The one thing that I hate is a too tight sleeve. I like my sleeves with loads of volume, I like sleeves that allow my arms to breath. I only had a chance to catch up with the last of PFW shows this evening and I was very happy to see beautiful voluminous sleeves in the Elie Saab, Louis Vuitton and Paul & Joe collections. I'll have some sleeves, please. Not too tight!

Are big sleeves your thing or do you prefer them tight, oh so tight?

P.S. I got my first ever pay packet today! Can you guess what I will be doing tomorrow...? It starts with S and ends with g. Let the good times begin!

P.P.S. Thank God it's Friday!!

Yo Dre, drop the verse

I knew the minute I walked into the office with 'No Diggity' blaring in the background, that the interview was not going to go well. Don't get me wrong, I love 'No Diggity'...great song to dance to, but at 8am in the morning, didn't really appreciate it. In between the lyrics of 'Mr. Jones' by the Counting Crowes and my interviewer telling me how great non-paid training and work really is, I knew I should have done a runner. Instead I was sitting there trying very hard 'to be someone who believes', but at that point in time I didn't 'believe in anything'.

Is it true that 'we all want to be big stars'? Sure, I'd love to be a star, I might as well 'buy myself a gray guitar and play'. I will also be as creative as possible and 'I will paint my picture'.

Louis Vuitton painted a picture and I'm sure they 'felt so symbolic yesterday' with the launch of their Resort 2011 collection. They produced simple, elegant, feminine easy-to-wear clothes on the laid back catwalk in the Maritime Hotel.








As with many Resort collections we have seen over the past few weeks, it is not extremely edgy, but the clothes are girly, and 'standing in the spotlight' in one of Louis Vuitton's Resort 2011 Collection would be my ultimate dream. Whilst 'Mr Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky', Louis Vuitton is basking in their back-to-feminine collection. 'We all want something beautiful'...never a truer statement in my case.

What do you think of the Louis Vuitton Resort 2011 Collection? Too simplistic or just right?

Have a fantastic weekend.
