I have a very busy but exiting day. I was invited by the lovely people at swatch to come to their big event were they will presente their 2010 ’swatch & art’ collection. It will also be great to meet the person that contributed so generously to my big 100th post giveaway by donating a gold swatch watch. Can’t wait especially as this is my first ever press release too.

Then I will attend the ‘Getting Started Lecture’ With Jill Adams and Jennifer Inglis at Sketchbook pop-up shop over at Carnarby street. I was thrilled to discover that due to their success their shop would stay upon another month. I can’t wait for this “practical and engaging workshop on how to start a blog and build one up”.

Also, to all you Britons don’t forget to vote today!! (this might be a fashion blog but I am still a politics student first and foremost ).

I thought I would share with you some of my latest purchases; the grey suede wedges (the exact cop of the zara ones but I really love their colour) and my Black Book t-shirt (cheap and fast delivery, just in case you were wondering for both items).

The Levi’s 603 Superskinny fit (“Let Rip”), seen here on Erin Kling. She and she alone, has brought these perfect superskinny Levi’s to the top of my “buy me” list. They just look perfect with a pair of black heels, dressed up or dressed down.

Vintage Levi’s.

The original 501 Levi’s with a modern twist. A limited edition designed over the summer by Elin Kling. When it comes to style, Elin sure knows a thing or two (or three). I looked desperately on ebay to see if anyone was selling them but NO luck there Is there really a limit on how many pairs of jeans a girl can own, because i easily see myself in these too.

Did any of you get their hands on these beauties?

DIY ripped shorts. Levi’s has more often than not been used to create the perfect ripped denim shorts. I like if when this raw fabric is paired with soft cotton T’s and black lace.

Have any of you done something different with your Levi’s?

Daily outfit (key piece: new leather shorts from H&M)

I‘m still not sure about the bustier (or corset) over a T-shirt but when it’s done with a dress I really do think it works well. It make a bustier dress less serious and that much more youthful.

Love this outfit, I have the old version of this dress, i.e. in cotton not in leather and I think it look great with a short or long T-shirt under it wit a statement necklace.

It’s that period in the year soon, were it is almost compulsory to be wearing something short, sparkly and pretty. I might have found an alternative to all the sequins and sparkles, but that still says ‘Happy New year’; the cage dress from Asos, seen here on Rachel Bilson.

So, What do you think of this dress as a New year eye’s outfit?

Sure, these gorgeous T-shirt dresses came out some time ago but they are still just as great now as they were back then (which in the fashion world means a mere couple of months).

Call me old school, but I have always been a bit skeptic of Ebay. That was until now! Meet kaf782, ebay power seller with a 99,6% positive feedback. But he is not just any seller, a shoe seller by the hundreds. You thought you had seen it all with Zara, Acne, Topshop… all copying some of the must wanted shoes and boots out there. But you haven’t, not until you check this out.

About the buyer:

kaf782, as I said above is a power seller which means he sells in huge quantities. He has had 847 feedback and reviews with 99,6% percent being positive. All say that the items were what they expected, delivered fast (from China, I am guessing it was not stopped at customs since all seemed to have received their ‘order’), the price is reasonable too (most shoes are at 24,99 USD). You will find Balmain, Isabel Marant and Louboutin Look-alikes just to name a few.

But they also sell some gorgeous (which I don’t think but could be wrong) non-copycat ankle boots, great for winter.

The only draw back; the suspense is non-existent, as you will almost always win! Not due to the fact that no one wants them but more due to the fact that he has what seems like an endless stock.

Follow this link and let the shopping begin. Have fun, and I would like to say don’t spend too much, but what the hell, Go for it.

and Thank you Mr. ‘kaf782’

I will be sure also to let you know as soon as I receive my two pairs.

After, Jimmy Choo and Sonia Rykel for H&M

Kate Moss and Christopher kane for Topshop

Giles Deacon for New Look we can now look forward to…

Rosalind Keep for Oasis.

If Oasis does not hold the same commercial value as Topshop, the collection designed by London College of Fashion undergraduate Rosalind Keel is sure worth the detour. Her collection of oversized T-shirts, racerback vests, cropped Ts with dresses, jackets and coats drawn onto them creating the perfect “trompe l’oeil” might become the next big thing. Not quite sure yet, how one goes about integrating such an item within our daily garments but I’m sure someone will get creative. These unique and one of a kind pieces will be available online from 7th December.

So we waited to see what the fashionistas of the web would come up with… and this is what I have found so far.

This Belgium girl did what most of us would have done; slap on the bracelet and the belt and call it a day. She does however make, what could be a very matronly dress, look youthful and fun.

So I am not a huge fan of socks, and even less about socks with tights but somehow this fashionista from Hong Kong makes them look quirky yet cute pairing them with her new JC heels. Here is, probably, the most sober piece of the entire JC for H&M collection. This being said, the hole outfit screams youthful Parisian with a twist. Quite refreshing so see something else than the belt and the heels.

Kling grabbed herself a pair of the gladiator like hells, you can’t go wrong there. But I am loving the see through crochet cream top over the leather skirt, a lot. Caroline, is one or those girls that can pull off any boyish look, not sure many girls out there could make these Jimmy Choo shoes look so feminine.

Fashionistas, seem to have put their JC dresses and hells straight into the closet and i have a feeling we will be seeing them around Christmas again. To be honest, i think new year’s eve is going to end up looking a bit like this:

If Miss. Moss has being wearing them for some time now, it does indeed look like faux fur is doing a huge come back. Isabel Marant from Zara have created a few nice coats for us to chose from and it looks like the fashionistas of the web have caught up with the trend.

Caroline Blomst sure knows how to make a faux fur effortless and youthful, mixing it with a leather jacket underneath, a pair of boyish black boots, or simply a pair of tight fitting jeans or leather pants.

Spot on in London, this girl knows who to make fur her own.If you thought chic and quirky didn’t work together, then think again! We probably were quite a few to have walked past this particularly coat in topshop but never gave it a second thought. This blogger adopt it and gave it that unique London appeal.

Ida, did a classic version of a leopard print faux fur (from urban outfitters) and wore hers with an all black outfit. At the same time, all the focus is on the coat but it doesn’t scream ‘look at me’ which is refreshing. This blogger sure knows how to work the understated yet fashion forward looks.

At Columbine Style, we get a vintage feel for faux fur paired with washed out jeans, a grey t-shirt and black wedges.

The hand that wears a turquoise will never see poverty

They blogged about the shoes, the bags, the belts and ohh my the dresses…

They where the first to give the rest of us a sneak preview of the Jimmy Choo collection for H&M…

They counted down the days…

Because of them, the media caught up and Jimmy was on every women’s lips…

Finally, the day arrived…

Up at dawn, armed with their cameras, dressed to impress…

They queued for hours for that perfect new years dress…

And every dress needs that perfect pair of killer heels…

And no outfit is complete without a clutch…

They came home… and we find ourselves waiting to see what they will do with Jimmy.

It looks like, we can now step out of the house, without having to spend the day in killer hells. Fashion bloggers all over are been photographing themselves wearing what look like very comfy footwear.

Low cowboy boots in the style of Kling and Angie.

leather lace up’s in the style of these two Spanish students who pair their combat style boots with pretty summer dresses.

What not try the ankle buckle boot in the style of the “ohh so wanted by all chloé boots”, like these three girls.

If you have nice boots, the new rule is to roll up those trousers ladies and show them off. However, if you want to change things up and not do what everyone else is doing then why don’t you leave your jeans do the talking. Pair your boots with a pair of jeans or trousers with zippers on the end, like Kenza.

The latest front rows at our favorite fashion shows have us understanding that the fashion blogosphere is to be taken seriously. These young and bright girls, with what seems like money and time on their hands, do indeed have their say in todays fashion industry.

So, who is wearing what, when and how!
