Michael's Swagger


Today I want to wear something chic, sleek and something effortlessly cool. In other words, I want some of the Michael Kors Autumn/Winter 2011 collection in my wardrobe. I am all for mad tribal prints and bold colours, but sometimes, you just need to tone things down. Lets just call it sleek seductive-ness. Michael Kors, 30 years on. He definitely still has that New York swagger, don't you think?





Hope everyone has a fantastic Thursday!

Jill S, 2011


I must admit that I am terrified at how fast time goes by. Not only, is it scary that we are in the second month of February 2011, but New York Fashion Week has confirmed that time just flies. Officially, we haven't entered Spring, let alone Summer, yet we are fast forwarding two seasons and going straight to Autumn/ Winter 2011/2012. But, hey! This is nothing new. I don't know about you, but I am sick of the sight of big body covering capes and thick heavy coats. I want freedom in my clothes!

However, there was one Autumn/ Winter collection which wasn't suffocating. Enter, Jill Stuart. Enter sleeveless knits, pretty dresses with a touch of gold colour, fox and owl printed dresses. Of course, there was coats, but they looked light & easy to wear. Oh, and I spotted bum-bags. (I really must start wearing mine now! If you want to have a look at my bum-bag d.i.y effort, click here). The Irish weather may not allow for such 'skimpy-ness' in the winter, but I would definitely suffer the cold to wear that sleeve-less knit jumper, clinched by that gold belt, of course! Jill Stuart got it just right with this collection. Amen.

What do you think of this collection? What collection has been your favourite so far?
