OMG ACNE WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?!?!?!
I am absolutely in love with these Acne boots from the Prefall collection. Wedges are just my absolute favorite and these just hit the right spot with that draped detail in the front held by a single buckle with velcro.
So ready to save up for it right now. Who’s with me???
What are the shoes that you are coveting right now?

I don’t know about you, but I love it when fashion completely turns everyone’s expectations over and, in the words of Tim Gunn, “make it work”.
I am sure that every girl have been warned at any given point in their lives to never wear open-toed sandals with stockings. It was an image permeated by unfortunate matrons and clueless office ladies, and there are hardly any greater faux pas than that. On the runways of A/W09 and S/S10 however, we see many designers challenging this view by pairing strappy sandals with thick ankle length socks, in turn giving these summery shoes a distinctive touch of winter.

Galliano added a pop of colour with bright pink socks, while Burberry opted to keep the colours within the same family.

I also love how Versace paired slouchy socks and stompy shoes with a feminine dress in their pre-fall 2010 collection
Miu Miu however, literally knocked the socks off me (you know I can’t resist the puns) with their embellished socks. We are like magpies and love shiny objects as can be seen from our embellished lace tights DIY

I am so going to find a pair of plain socks and sew all manners of shiny nonsense on them.

I have to admit, Alexander Wang’s Prefall 2010 collection isn’t one that makes me run around screaming in ecstasy, declaring my undying love for him.
I’m not saying that I didn’t like it, instead I take a look at my existing wardrobe and think of all the wonderful looks I could create to mimic this collection. In a way, this collection is ingenious taking in a lot of the existing trends and reworking it, a change in the fabric at the waist sees the boyfriend blazer being given a new lease of life. I see the Goddess dresses’ hemline increased , giving it a more classy look without compensating sexiness. I see so much opportunities for mixing and matching.
For example, the above look can be easily replicated with a mesh dress from American Apparel and paired with a neat shift dress you have in your wardrobe right now.
This collection if you ask me, is displaying his former experience in styling, since he has already fully displayed his talents as a fashion designer. Revisiting the current street style trends, he managed to conjure up an even more interesting mix just as we were beginning to decide if we should ditch those boyfriend blazers and goddess dresses. It definitely makes me take a second look at my existing wardrobe before deciding if my clothes are too dated or out of fashion.
One thing for sure, I’m keeping my boyfriend blazer.
