They Came, They Saw, They Conquered!

They came, they saw they conquered! Once again the streets seem to be the place where all the real 'fashion' and 'style' happens. Bloggers, fashionistas, stylists, magazine editors, models and passers buy the people outside the shows who get the cameras snapping. Street style has really evolved, it now seems to be more of a sport that just getting dressed. Some of the outfits that are on show are insane, questionable,unique, amazing, flawless and just plain unusual. From the extravagant likes of Anna Dello Russo, the cute and cheeky Cara Delevingne, the power players such as Carine Roitfeld, the bloggers like Leandra Medine, Susie Bubble and Garance Gore.

There has been quite a bit of talk recently about weather street style has lost its originality, the New York Times posted an article which talks about the loss of originality with more of a commercial focus on street style. With brands giving people product to wear in return for those photographed advertising said product. That said, yes I think street style has evolved and a lot more people photographed are wearing designer items, mixed with designer items, not the high street, with vintage with a little designer as it was in the beginning. However, it still takes style to put pieces together in a unique way. Regardless I will still enjoy seeing blogs during fashion week full of street style photos, scrolling through style.com and various other websites. I love a well dressed individual! These are my favourites from the past month.

I love everything about this outfit, especially the sunglasses and the shoes. It's cute, stylish and she looks effortlessly cool.

 

Christina, Christina, Christina! You are a god of epic proportion. That is all.

 

 

Taylor Tomasi-Hill, a yellow laced beauty.

 

I love this, overalls, a leather jacket, a laced high neck shit, so many good pieces all together.

 

It's a print orgasm. That is all.

 

 

I want everything she is wearing, the colours are divine, the shapes are delicious, she looks like an ice cream!

 

 Denim cutoffs = always a good idea

 

 

Perfect layering. And her under cut, I wish I was brave enough to try that one.

 

 

Hot. Nuff said...

 

 

It doesn't get much more glamorous than that!

 

 

This skirt is epic, that pleat detail is what fashion wet dreams are made off. She looks magnificent, its so cute and stylish. This is why I love street style for gems like this. Who ever she is, I am drooling at that ensemble.

 

 

Another ensemble that I am drooling over, who thought white lace could look cool?!

 

 

Giovanna Battaglia, god that woman's legs! And that jacket!

 

 

This print, I don't know what to say. It is perfect.

 

 

Print orgasm #2

 

As mentioned before, cut off denim is always a good idea, paired with a suspender shaped peplum, and a black vial, eeep. So chic!

Balmain... the fashion lover's wet dream

 

 

 

Balmain: SS 2013 Ready To Wear... Ready to LUST!

Olivier Rousteing has outdone himself with one of the best collections to grace the runway over the last month. With the most intricate detail, beautiful fabrics, amazing colour, structure and dresses painstakingly created from basket-woven raffia. This collection is what a fashion lover's wet dream is made of. Inspired by Miami and Cuba, 80's power dressing and supermodels, this collection is graphic, loud and exciting. I'll take one of everything Olivier, THANKS! x

Miss Vogue

I'm not generally Bambi's biggest fan, she is pretty, but as a model she doesn't get me excited... Then I saw this shoot and I love it, I love her in it. From Vogue's new Miss Vogue, styled by my favourite Christine Centenera.

The Man Repeller does it again, with this informative 'how to' on New York Fashion Week. God I love this woman!

 

"Babooshka"

 

 'Babooshka' is Alice McCall's upcoming summer 2012/2013 collection, full of beautiful colours, floral prints, sheer fabrics, layers and layers, jumpsuits, party dresses and the most magnificent baby blue leather shorts. I can't wait to get my hands all over this collection! It is summer perfection all in a cute bright orange, lace panelled jumpsuit.

 

It is a truly enchanting collection, and decidedly Russian, with pops of white, tangerine, powder blue, pale pink, nude and red. Reinvention season after season is McCall’s trick and she has worked her magic with needlepoint floral motifs scattered through romantic cotton voile lace (complete with miniature applique buds) and fitted silhouettes to make even the hardest of fashionistas blush.

 

This collection had brains: stiff scalloped edging, nifty sheer under-skirts and over-layers, architectural and floral digital prints and neon pops ensured it appealed to Alice’s loyal fan club. Sheers, graphic cut-outs, leather, crop pants and tops were intertwined with headscarves, crystal drop earrings and powder blue pointy-toe pumps. Divine. Get in my wardrobe... Please?!
