A Slip of a Thing

When Victoria Beckham arrived at the men's Wimbledon final in a slip I have to admit I wasn't entirely convinced.

Yes, it was a Louis Vuitton slip, part of its autumn winter lingerie/nightwear inspired collection, but it was still a slip. Very pretty but definitely not for me. I would hardly consider such an item suitable for the boudoir let alone a bar.

But the more I look at the Louis Vuitton collection the more I am drawn to it.

But how to make it wearable in real life?

Because I will absolutely not be copying any of these looks, even though I like their flavour.

I think I have discovered the solution - the camisole. A nod to the underwear trend without being too suggestive. Plus I think a little plain black camisole over jeans is super elegant. There is just something very appealing about an exposed clavicle and shoulder with just the whisper of a strap.

Equipment

I am very tempted. What about you? Tempted to make underwear outerwear this season?

In Full Bloom

 Emilia Wickstead

Winter florals are going to be a big trend for autumn winter and I am very much liking the look of them.

Here are some of the best on the catwalks. And Ted Baker are the first to make the break on the high street. Yum!

How could I possibly have forgotten how gloriously beautiful and loveable Michelle Williams is? Thank you Louis Vuitton for reminding me. Bliss.

Check Mate

Slebs have been going mad for the Louis Vuitton spring summer 2013 collection. I love seeing such different looks on the red carpet, and it shows that it isn't a difficult trend to carry off (Kristen's short shorts aside).

I love it. So fresh and exciting and new. I hope someone on the high street rips it off is inspired by it.

Loving these pictures of Michael Phelps for Louis Vuitton. Very cool.

Heart's a Flutter

For the wedding I will be taking inspiration from the Louis Vuitton catwalk, peachy skin with a peachy flush and lip and then a serious a-fluttering around the eyes. Isn't it pretty? I just have to pin down the right falsies that will look prettily full not Desperate Scousewives full.

Eyelites do a set that are top and bottom. I'm not sure how they would work. Has anyone ever used them? Are they worth a try?

Otherwise I could use Clinique's bottom lash mascara. If I use regular mascara on my bottom lashes I look completly insane, like a Kewpie doll. And that is not something I want to look like. You know?

But pretty skin and a full lash, that's so desirable, wouldn't you agree?

Stubborn as a Mule

Miu Miu

One of my most serious sartortial hatreds is the mule. I really don't think that anything can be said for them.



And the funny thing is that I don't think I could even tell you why I hate them so much. Maybe it is do do with covering up the part of the foot that is attractive and then revealing the heel, which is never beautiful, no matter how lovely the foot.

Maybe it is because I have had mules in the past and they have never quite worked for me no matter how much I loved them. For one thing walking in them invariably seems a little tricky.

Louis Vuitton

Most of the time it is an annoyance easily avoided, but for spring/summer they appear to be making an unwelcome return.

So I saw the Miu Miu ones and my hatred was not dented. And the Oscar pairs are far too ornate for my liking. Status well and truly quoed.

But then, what's this?!

Damn you Louis Vuitton and Mr Jacobs, because these with the pointy toes and the metallics, these I might just love.

Oscar de la Renta

I like being grumpy and having fixed immovable rules about things that are hideous and that I would never wear, but those shoes have muddied the water because now I am thinking that they might actually be rather nice. Ack!
