Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear Louis Vuitton collection

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:17:40 +0000

Today I have got for you the exceptional, extraordinary and outstanding Spring 2009 Ready-to-wear Louis Vuitton collection. The spring 2009 would be full of solid colors. Colors like black, orange, blue, yellow and auburn were the colors that were highlighted in the Louis Vuitton collection.

Here is the first model in black and ruby colored dress. The small design printed claret skirt with the black deep V-neck blazer looks trendy and stylish. The chunky jewelries and the criss cross studded sandals add glamour. The leopard print bag with the coal eyes and ruby lips and the high hair do look hip and modish.

Here is another model in the same type of short skirt but in orange color with a golden waistline. The inner top is of a see through fabric framed by a full sleeved blue lined blazer.

Here’s a classy combination of auburn and cerulean blue colored mini dress. The dress is again paired with some elegant stocky accessories and stylish tie-up sandals.

A model walking with a brunette colored shorts with matching vest type full sleeved blazer. The chunky beaded necklace is a beauty here.

Here is a polka dotted parallel paired with a metal and black colored coat framing a transparent inner. The copper colored saggy hand bag is a stylish one.

A jazzy leather brunette and black lined overcoat with broad neck and layered collars would give a cool and stylish look.

And last is again a polka dotted parallel trouser paired with a strapless top and a leopard print bag.

FASHION FIX: Preview of Nole's Aussie Open '09 adidas styles

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 10:10:00 +0000

So I've previewed Rafael Nadal's + Roger Federer's Aussie Open '09 Nike duds so let's check out the tennis fashions adidas has come up with for Novak Djokovic.

The defending champ will be working the Edge Polo in phantom which features a black-on-black shadow graphic design on the front and yellow piping on the neckline. The white version showcases the same shadow design in white-on-white on the front body and adidas' 3-stripe trademark in olive and yellow piping on the sleeves. Both Edge Polos showcase the eagle graphic design on the back top-left shoulder Nole debuted at the Masters Cup:

Nole will most likely pair the Edge Polos with the new Edge Bermudas in phantom + olive which have a combination tie + elastic waist and longer length.

The sexy Serb will tie the whole look together with the new sleek + shiny Edge ClimaCool trainers in metallic silver/black/neon yellow.

As you guys know I'm usually pretty tough on adidas for their lack of design innovation and marketing efforts for their top ballers. But, as of late, the sports brand has turned it up a notch and pulled out some interesting and original gear for both Ana Ivanovic + Nole.

Now, while I may not love the actual clothing every time (love the shirts + shoes here, don't love the curtains-as-shorts moment) I can truly appreciate the effort and innovation that adidas has been showing lately.

What do you guys think of adidas' fashionable efforts of late?

FASHION FIX: Preview of Fed's Aussie Open '09 Nike styles

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 07:47:00 +0000

I've already previewed Rafael Nadal's Aussie Open Nike gear and now let's take a peek at what Roger Federer will most likely wear at the year's first major.

Fed's style really never sways from the crisp + classic and these Nike duds are no exception. The world's second-best baller will be working the shadow-striped Federer Polo in concord + white (above). It features a contrasting 4-button placket with his ubiquitous 'RF' logo on bottom and a button-down collar design.

The Federer Polos will be paired with the Athlete Woven Shorts in white + obsidian. These shorts are 9" in length and feature a contrasting side stripe and what looks to be a contrast stripe on the front crease and venting on the inside of the leg.

The Swiss stylist's Aussie Open style is rounded out with his fave Vapors VI in white/silver/charcoal.

These outfits, though classic, are really boring and don't feature any interesting design elements or even any great colorways. What's the deal?

Maybe these images don't do the clothing any justice and the actual pieces will pop more - at least I'm hoping so for Fed's sake.

(UPDATED) FASHION FIX: Preview of Rafa's Aussie Open '09 Nike style

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 06:30:00 +0000

The Aussie Open is still over a month away but the 2009 tennis fashions are already being revealed.

Top baller Rafael Nadal's style continues to evolve even after the Spaniard's controversial US Open '08 Nike duds caused an uproar amongst his most loyal Rafanatics. The sports brand has moved away from his 'pirata' look and has infused streetwear elements such as bold colors, stripes, and checkers to create and new, inspired look for Rafa.

The Mallorcan Matador will be warming up for the season's first Grand Slam in the Trend Long Sleeve Coverups in charcoal + white (above).

Rafa has decidedly dropped his trademark sleeveless this time around and has been given three different colorways of the new Short Sleeve Top including turquoise + white, white + classic charcoal, and white + neo turquoise. Rafanatics don't despair: the shirt looks slightly fitted and the sleeves short enough to still show off that coveted buff body.

No Rafa outfit would be complete, of course, without his trademark long shorts so Nike has designed the Long Checked Short featuring an extended tab waist in classic charcoal, neo turquoise, and white.

And it seems the top baller has finally ditched his favored Cages for some new, super cool Air Max Courtballistecs in neo turquoise, black/metallic silver/volt, and black/volt/silver. LOVE.

Like I said last season, I'm excited Rafa is moving in a new direction that still stays true to his individuality and larger-than-life personality. We'll see how the actual clothing looks when its released and I'll be sure to post images once I get my mitts on them.

What do you guys think of these Aussie Open duds?

DO TELL!

UPDATE: I just found these Nike duds called the Athletic Hero Short Sleeve Tees in white + neo turquoise. Could these be the practice t-shirts for "El Toro"?

Feathers. A flight of fancy!

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 20:39:32 +0000

There are certain items, which are so girly, so feminine and impractical that you can’t help but love them. This is true of feathers, they are a frivolous embellishment, they have no purpose except to look superb. Whether you prefer marabou or ostrich or just generic feather, they always add a cheeky twist to any outfit. Conjuring up images of 1930s film stars or burlesque queens there is something so sensual about the feather that you can’t help but coo.

Designers and high street have chosen feathers to adorn their latest creations and they are the perfect credit crunch remedy. Well in as far as they symbolise a little piece of escapism, perhaps not the price tag. But whether you choose to go for the high street option in the form of Topshop feathered mini skirts, clutch bags and jackets or high end like this Christian Louboutin cancan feather clutch, there is certainly something to please everyone.

When wearing feathers keep your look simple, a marabou jacket will glam up a pair of black skinnies, or choose a bolero to add 30s glamour to your evening gown. A feather mini skirt requires plain opaque tights and ankle boots, to dabble in the trend try a clutch bag or choose items with a feather trim. It’s all in the detail.

Dear Fashion Kitty, Bad Clothes Gone Good?

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 07:10:00 +0000

I'm 13 I am in a big mess with my fashion, see I have to go shopping with my mom and she always buys me these weird clothes and it's not cool, it's just grrr. I like dont have anything ... Can u give me advice on how to make me look good in like bad clothes ppplllzzz!!!!

I think we have all been in that position with our mothers. When I was younger I definitely had much different taste than my mom, which made shopping a challenge. I remember this one pair of striped overalls, which by the way were shorts, that my mom bought for me ... awful! Anyways, enough of my scarring fashion memories. Let's help you with your problem.

1.) Change the way you shop with your mom:

- When you are heading into the fitting room bring in some pieces that you like to try on for her. You will get a lot of sour faces but occasionally you will get the pieces that you want.

- Be honest with your mom (in a nice way.) If something is truly hideous, let her know that it's just going to be a waste of money to purchase it.

- Compromise. For every four ugly pieces she buys you, you get to add in one pick of your own.

2.) Get crafty: If you know how to sew, break out the sewing machine and turn those fug clothes into something you love. If you don't know how to sew, take a class. Learning to sew is fun and pretty darn useful if you are into fashion.

3.) Exercise your styling muscles: Pull out some magazines to find the looks you love. You might be surprised what you can do to ugly clothes to make them cool. Layering and adding accessories can add some much needed magic to ugly clothes.

4.) Be confident: Wear your clothes with confidence. Be one of those girls that looks amazing in a paper bag. Pull your hair together in a nice way, stand up straight, and work it.

What I wore - Eighties

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 08:26:00 +0000

Did they wear shorts in the eighties? Not with tights, probably... Loved this outfit. Those boots are still some of my current favourite footwear. I teamed this with my electric blue trenchcoat - neon fun!
