April Tatler - A New Take on Socks and Sandals

The theme of this shoot was old fashioned English eccentricity and bringing the outdoors in. What really caught my eye though was the beautiful and fine socks worn with open toe platforms.

I've never been a fan of stockings and peep toe shoes (maybe i'm just not daring enough) but this in my opinion is a fresh take on the concept.

The paisley detail on the gold heels (Gucci) is my favourite combination. I think with the right socks and shoes, this look is a definite possibility.

Will you be trying this look out anytime soon?

Harper's Bazaar UK April 2009

A few scans from the April Edition...

First is an Alexander Mcqueen suit. Might be a bit shiny for day wear, but the structure is gorgeous.

A Gucci ad with my favourite jewel tones! Purples, blues and a smack of aqua-green.

A Viktor & Rolf striped mac. I like it when black meets white in the same item. If I was wearing this in real life, I might consider some pants.

To begin with, how lovely is the dog? Model is wearing a Balmain skirt from that collection. The shoot (photographer Mari Sarai) had a slight 80s vibe focusing on textures. If anyone wants to see any more, just ask!

Gucci S/S 09 - Corporate Jungle Vibe?

Ahhh my heart is beating like a jungle drum when I look at these two pictures. I particularly adore the red jacket + blue shirt... The hat isn't too bad either.

That khaki shirt dress even inspires me to go into the jungle. Beautiful details on the pockets.

Gucci - 2009/10 A/W RTW - Androgeneous Goodness

Gucci's latest power suits. I saw the show on FTV and these pictures just don't give the suits justice. The fabric was amazingly and subtley sparkly, shimmering under every light.

Love the androgeneous look as well. The 3rd pic is my favourite. The sunglasses and slicked back hair just oooze confidence.
