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:
