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

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.

FLATS AND HATS IN 2010

Time to give are little old feet a rest girls because S/S10 for sees heels are come way down to fabulous clogs, ballet pumps, mary-janes and the return of the kitten heel. In addition Chanel dare to be different, no longer will our blond trestles be blowing in the breeze with the odd hair pin and plait, but daring to be fashion forward with cosmopolitan chic , hats are scattering the S/S runway! Were talking bowler, trilbies, woven sequin beanies and oh wait is that a 20's inspired head piece I see, yes i think so!If I had to pick one pair I am totally stepping out in on BD22 in London town its these little Dior beauties first introduced in the s/s07 collection with a mountain heel, Diors buyers have saw fit to return to us the rocky chic that are these devilishly industrious sandals. With the recession still nipping at our heels a step back to vintage threads is defiantly on the cards, in these uncertain times we have to be conventional as well as fashionable. No doubt the sophistication and quirky edge will satisfy my need edge and supremacy but at £185 there not breaking the bank for a s/s season long classic oooooooooo im so in love, heels are definitely on the decline!Im thinking florals, with yellow clashes and some coral/enamel jewelry and maybe even a little leather number to top off with! Oooh am folking crazzi!!So the next thing on top of my head had to be Kinder Aggugini and his dirty collection for S/S10, I wouldn't believe that any of you haven't stumbled on to the animated/fanciful trend that were entering with hot topic 'Alice in wonderland'. Clashing fabrics and silhouettes alike and even creating chaos to perfectly finished outfits with oversized headpieces and towering hats. Fashion has never been so reveling. :) We saw Ms Stefani preview her adaptation with music vid 'wtcya waiting for' and now it seems hats have got theatrical as well. The bigger the better. High street fashion will definitely see an influx of netting head pieces, bobtails and russles! OOooh I want to fall down the rabbit hole!I have to say ironically enough S/S10 is looking up!Chic you all later x
