Hot Shorts

I have a bit of a thing for super short shorts right now, particularly the high-waisted knicker styles, that noone in real life can truly pull off (unfortunately)

I'm in love with the styling on this shoot.

Styled by Charles Varenne for Numéro #110.

If only it was really feasible to walk around in these kind of ensembles on a day-to-day basis...

I love looking at old shoots and seeing how fashion trends really come back around - bra tops, shiny leggings, sequins, bodysuits and pvc skirts are some of the most notable trends at this time, all of which can be spotted in these images.

You know the recession needs to get over itself when...

Frida Giannini is recycling shoe designs from last season.

Gucci S/S '09 - Gucci S/S '10.

I prefer last seasons as well.

It seems like a lot of last season's and this season's trend are being recycled. Just take one look at Dolce & Gabanna - Lace, Florals, Underwear as Outerwear, lace-up boots and romper suits. I'm not complaining about this, it will save me some pennies at least.

Couture is what dreams are made of...

Nothing can make my (dull) day more than admiring the new couture collections. Galliano has made me proud once again with his use of vivid colour and a bit of cheeky, vampy-ness.

Here are some of my favourites from the Dior show.

There's some really beautiful skirts in there, and the last two dresses are to die for. I truely hope that Galliano will make my wedding dress. Dream big...

A strange observation to make, but his use of the colour yellow is making me crave for some yellow peices, the pale tulle skirt in particular.

Note how 'Bras as tops' is also still going strong.

More to come on Fall '09 Couture!

Ps. Does anyone know who styles the Dior shows? Or is it allll Galliano?

Oh dear...

I haven't posted in SO long! I just seem to have deadline after deadline at the minute, and I visited my boyfriend for a long weekend too, so I've neglected this poor little blog. I must get into the habit of fitting this in.

Anyway, I'm feeling a little uninspired by the A/W shows, so maybe i'll wait a bit before I reference them on my blog again. I'm just getting worked up for the summer and wearing pretty colourful dresses, so I'm not in the frame of mind to accept all the grays, blacks and navys floating around and merging into one dark wooly coat.

I'm posting the final 3 images from the photoshoot that my friend Vicky and I shot and styled for a university project. In the end we decided it best suited Plastique magazine...

The theme is underwear as outerwear - a trend you may have noticed me blog about previously.
MASSIVE THANK YOU to Emily ('Between Peace & Happiness'-blog), our dear friend, who insanely agreed to model in lingerie at midnight in the freezing cold. We love you for it, and you look amazing! I'm sure everyone will agree...

To finish off, I have awesome news: I have bagged myself a placement at my number one dream magazine that I've always wanted to work for - Glamour! Ahhhh! It's only a month long but I am so excited. I can't actually believe it will my first placement at a magazine, and at my favourite one too. My love for them clearly came through very well in the cover letter, which I put my heart and soul into. Just as I was about to give up on the idea of getting a placement at a magazine this summer as well...

Hope everyone is well x
