MClaren MP4 12C

Not really an "item" that will end up in my wardrobe any time soon - or any where near me for that matter. Don't get me wrong, it's not because I don't want it, but simply because it's completely out of my budget range, so much so it's not even funny. I pride myself in sharing with you affordable clothes and items for the average students/working woman. So forgive me for this not so affordable post :) However, I tagged along with my dad last week to the MClaren Brussels showroom opening where the MClaren MP4-12C car sat on display and still wanted to share with you the pictures from the evening. It was a different kind of event but nonetheless a very fashionable and interesting one. I was lucky enough to chat with the creative mind behind this first ever 'street legal' MClaren - Design Director Frank Stephenson whom attended the opening. I have to say he was as vibrant as the car itself, sharing with us many anecdotes of the fascinating world of automobile design.

The MClaren MP4 12C which was on display was definitely fitting with this fall's colour palette and go to colour - bright orange. Thus if you have the money, and you want to splurge on the perfect orange item may I suggest this beauty. If, like me you don't have that kind of cash lying around I am sure you can find the perfect item as most retailers are doing quite a few pieces in this colour palette. I, on the other hand, must be careful went it comes to orange, as Connie Wang puts it "one orange item too many, and one can look more traffic-cone than traffic-stopper", and as am already sporting my orange do on a daily basis I will need to pick wisely. Any suggestions?

My Aldo Plexi heels

Finally, my nude Aldo Perusse plexi heels arrived. It was an ordeal to get them to Brussels, and I would love to able to say it was worth the wait. However, all I have been able to do so far is prance around the house in them (looking kind of mad) and I managed a quick walk, what with the never ending rain that is falling down on us. This being said, with every bit of sunshine we have left, there is no doubt I will be wipping these heels out. Anyway, here are a few pictures I managed to snap today, following in the spirit of plexi and transparant heels, as seen previously. As I am writing this post, my new heels are nicely tucked back in their box away from any possible sight of rain.

Plastic summer

Indeed, this summer it was all about transparency and what better way to play the game than with plastic. It was all about the plexi Prada and Fendi shoes, the plastic Hermes totes and anything else plastic and transparent. I am not so sure how I feel about parading around with a transparent bag with all of its content on display for the world to see. However I am loving the plexi shoe trend, ad not just a bit. So here goes for a trend post full of transparency and plastic and many other details I have to share with you.

First up, are our beloved swedish girls you seem to have adopted the Prada plexi shoe immediately and have done so to perfection, I think I prefer the Prada shoe with the black strip to the white of silver one.

Christine does some pretty bloody amazing DIY when it comes to shoes, and these DIY Fendi plexi heels are no exception. So I urge if you don't already know her to check out her blog.

I was so glad when I stumbled upon Arielle's blog, Something Navy as I soon discovered these little beauties on her feet from none other than ALdo. Which I immediately ordered and got a friend to bring them back from the UK for me. Shock horror when I soon discovered that the left foot was a EU size 37 and the right a  size 38, not good Aldo. Those of you who follow me on Twitter might remember the saga, anyway the second (and hopefully in the right sizes, both feet please) pair is on its way to me this weekend. Anyway if anyone has one foot smaller than the other ie the left, and normally wears a 3! let me know and i can sell you these puppies if you are interested.

My current plexi shoe craving from Aldo (the ones that are on their way hopefully in the right size) and from Queens wardrobe. Will you, or are you already doing the transparent and plexi trend?
