Style defines life............

Vinway

a welcome message...... ok: never wear what everyone tells you to, wear what ever offends conformists, go for vintage, steal from the runway, couturiers will forget about La Croix by next season, fashion is clothing with 'style' critiqued by conformists and there will never be another like Lee McQueen 1969-2010.

Well here is where you guys get a glimps into what I think fashion is and what we must keep SACRED!! Coming tomorrow, a peak into my very own wardrobe for a piece I rescued from the vintage store!!

Morning Medley

                   Morning Medley

Morning Bloggers: So first installment of ApparelJunk’s Morning Medley of fashion fixes.


So we’ve all heard of Rachael Gilbert, Queen of the Party chic! Check out what everyone is going crazy for!

http://ow.ly/E03y, personally I think this dress is a definite winner, fabulous monologue silhouette with tailoring to nip in all your unwanted flaws!

Australia Luxe boots, you guys are going crazy for them? Do we think there a FAD? Or actually fashion, Alex Curran dons these leaving Flannels Met Quarter store! Personally I’m not a fan, there over priced, industrialized, pieces that just have no place in my fashion world. I wouldn’t dream of ‘Crackle boots’ showing all the flaws in my leg length!! Stubby looking or what!

What did we all this of Kristen Stewarts ‘Oscar de la Renta’ piece preview in LA? This guy is a genius, what he can do with fabric is what Lewis Hamilton can do with a Ferrari! Not one of his most flamboyant pieces, but the hemline on this dress is to die for. Airy, floaty, yet defined everything you need to create length on the body and hideaway those winter white legs. It’s a shame you can’t hide the personality hmmm Kristen: What’s with the entire frowns, crack a smile girl,! http://ow.ly/E0bb

Check back later guys for the 1st installment of Placement Pout!

Follow and support.

Chic you all later x
