Ankle Boot Madness!

As winter approaches, my obsession with ankle boots has returned. This time round with a more rocker feel - studs, chains, buckles etc (this obviously excludes the Louboutins but I love them too much not to include them).

I Like Your Style

Erin Wasson -> an American model, occasional designer (designed a collection for RVCA) and occasional stylist (Previously for Alexander Wang).

Having graced the pages and covers of numerous magazines such as French, German, Spanish and Australian Vogue, Allure, Esquire, Elle etc and walking the runway for Armani, Balenciaga, Karl Lagerfeld etc, a certain degree of FASHION ICON labeling seems only natural... Slight girl crush maybe? mmm could just be envy, haven't quite made up my mind yet.

Either way, I like her style - especially her array of headpieces!

Designer to watch

With an recent MA distinction from Central Saint Martins, a Harrods design award and a merit award from Vauxhall Fashion Scout (Last year's winner was William Tempest) under his belt, David Koma is certainly the graduate designer to follow. - Note Christopher Kane received a Harrods design award in 2006 - could Koma follow in his footsteps?

His A/W collection shows a magnitude of talent.

Koma combines the general aspects we've seen on the catwalk such as tulip- dresses, structure and tassels with his own innovative and edgy flair.

My favourite aspect of this collection is the detailing Koma has added onto otherwise plain outfits. For example, Koma details a low-cut black tank and body-con leather skirt with an incredible knotted silver piece immediately adding edge and modernism.

**Brilliance!**

This is a completely random post but I've just learned something too amusing not to share.... Alton Towers has banned men from wearing Speedos! This is meant to prevent embarrassment among the public and remain family-friendly...

Sorry boys, no more little skimpys on the log ride!

(BTW type speedo into google images, I'm thinking a more selective ban should be proposed)

Swimwear Steal

Thought I should share the love, the wonderful Biondi is having a sample sale with 70% off swimwear today and tomorrow!

These costumes are seriouly cute and no doubt will get you noticed!

Standard prices: £50 - £200 (post sample sale)

Kurt Geiger

So I know I'm a little late to be mentioning this as the issue is about to be taken off the stands but what the hell, when inspiration strikes...

Flicking through Vogue's August catwalk report, I find myself unable to tear my eyes away from the Kurt Geiger shoot.

A large factor for this is most likely because of the coloured suitcases reminding me that I can start packing tomorrow for my wonderful month in the sun! But ofcourse there are other, more post-worthy reasons.

What I love about this shoot is that the suitcases, although of such large sizes and unlikely colours, are not the focal point of the shoot. The shoes the model is wearing even when not placed at the forefront of the shot immediately capture your gaze.

I must note that I have never really been a follower of Kurt Geiger shoes nor did I think they had especially individual designs. Boy how wrong was I??

A double paged shot reads the caption "Spoilt For Choice" and this is no lie. With this innovative display of shoes and the matching advertorials, Kurt Geiger have made a definite 180 to my opinions.

Hats of to Kurt Geiger!
