Looks of the month

I was over the moon when my mum got me this leather, fringed side pouch/satchel? yeah i know, leather, i used to be against leather but then i realised that 70% of my trainers/sneakers were made from leather but now i LOVE it. Sounds cruel of killing animals so that some human can wear it...

Frida Giannini's collaboration with...

Yes, Mark Ronson. The sneaker collection temporarily in London, Miami and Tokyo. We need to dump the vans ad dunks and get our feet in one of these.

Mark Ronson & Gucci's Frida Giannini

Mary J Blige was at the scene attired in a Chunky knit.

My favourite trends of the moment

Snoods
They are back again - bigger, thicker & chunkier. Seen at Burberry and Missoni.

Snoods work well jackets/coats you can replace a statement necklace with one.
Can be worn over neck or head/neck. I would use it draped around my head.

Alternativeley, if you cant get hold onto a designer one, try TopShop for £15 or use a large Knitted scarf and wrap as desired. I've created one here using a tribal pattern scarf.

Knotting

I salute Burberry on this one. I love the complicated and intricate design in their collections. Its a change from their previous collections, i think i saw too much trenches and accessories going on but i like what im seeing.

Bought this bracelet/necklace last year at a stall in Manhattan Last year for $5. Its knotted at the side

Houndstooth

Before i used to call Houndsdtooth "Herringbone" until my mum corrected me. They work well with Patterned tights or Luminous. Seen at Preen and Aquascutum. I got a similar version from M&S for £35 (below) teamed up with a Chanel looking beaded necklace.

Fashion Week: S/10

Paris:

Miu Miu

Some nude/white,navy,blacks, print, crystals/diamonds. Layering and mixing of different materials.

Louis Vuitton

mini skirts/shorts, big fluffy hair, sporty.

Chloé

Very soft pastel colours. Lots of silhouettes. The style looks military but still chic. but still chic.

NikeTown UK

"Nike Air Scandal Mid Platinum/Platinum-Midnight Fog" at NikeTown UK. No other shop in Oxford street that sell trainers/sneakers can compete with The Original store. Its the place to get the exclusives since they do a batch production. I hate it when you walk down the street and see 3 other people wearing the same trainers/sneakers as you. Footwear bought at Nike Store:

(above) "Nike air scandal mid black" bought for $50 online when i was in the USA. A similar verison At schuh for £64.99. I prefer the ones I have becaue it has a python/patent look with a mix of leather whilst the purple on is suede (hello...last season) and...just...looks.....Dull.

Betseyville by Betsey Johnson

Got this Betseyville bag for $16 on clearance sale - took it to school and i couldn't believe that no-one knew who Betsey Johnson was or the brand - except for one girl. ratings to you.

Purchases:

I couldnt't believe the Americans had a 'Westfield' but to my suprise it was much smaller to the one in London. I explored Norstrom and bought a few things. Very pricey.

Art/Textiles Trip to V & A

A school trip to the Victoria & Albert museum. Sadly, we only spent a few 10 minutes looking at the Fashion Exhibition and we were out. Yes, there was the complaining of leaving early but i managed to take some photographs. There is so much to explore down there, i advise you to go there. Here are my favourites.
