CLASH

I'VE GOT A NEW HEADER!SO READERS GIVE SOME FEEDBACK!And without further ado here's your weekly post:
Jimmy Choo shoes!Trying saying that 5 times fast. I saw these shoes in an ad from the curent American Vogue magazine...falling head over heels. (And no not literally). And listing the price would probably just make you scream....so I guess it'll just have to serve for nice eye candy.SIGH. The Marc Jacobs lace-ups are the second pic down and just a little somthing that I think expresses "the" Fall shoe.
P.S. Don't get discouraged by designer prices. There's great find out there somewhere! Try MACY's when they're having a sale. My mom and I were able to get a Vera Wang nightgown for a good price. You can also check out the SPECIAL ITEMS category on Marc Jacobs.com. There's a shirt that says "paradise" for only $30..but keep in mind that those items are only available at a MJ store. But still its nice to look at your options.



Here are a couple desirable mentions.....bags by Luella. She has a unique aesthetic in clothing, and I decided to check out her bags. Which just happen to be GORGEOUS. First, there's the bag with a label. Nowadays bags with a saying or label tend to be in high demand. And the second bag has studs, which has become rather trendy. Remember if you're going for a studded accessory select something that doesn't look tacky or is so overpowering that it might toughen your look.









Well, to me it seems that there is a trend that has not been truly noticed. Well...more like a chosen inspiration. This Fall it looks like some designers chose a culture/race as an influence in their collections. A mix of russian, british, roman, etc. The designers feautured are Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, and others. Well here it is...and its something I like to call CLASH of the Cultures.

Russian Doll


"The British are coming!The British are coming!"








".....do as the Romans do". These pics are from the Gucci indy collection.




The Parisian with an attitude!(In the best sense of course)




The All-American

I'm liking those lace-up platforms. They remind me of a pair of shoes I had about 10 years ago. I know! I'm old! :-(

Ondo Lady said...

Don't you just love the Luella Bartley bags? I was in Selfridges yesterday (the UK version to Bloomingdales) and I was checking out all the designer bags and swooning. I saw the Paddington, Mulberry and a few Balanciegos which were awesome. There was a lady in a Mulberry concession getting a bag bought for her by her fella, I left feeling very jealous.

Jaclyn said...

Omg i love the Marc Jacobs shoes!!! I want that Geek bag! it totally discribes me, plus its cute! Im not sure about the white stud one tho, not really my style.

Fashion Fleur said...

i love the marc jacobs lace-ups! although they seem a bit school girl, with that serious heel, they are anything but.

Gloria said...

it's a bit plain, but the canvas bag is totally sweet.
