Winter Fashion Trends

Nothing's new in the fashion world, just altered. I cant give you new trends because there are none, there's only what is in fashion now or whats coming back to play. Fashion wont die, it just keeps coming back! [some pieces i would love to stab repeatedly like a maniac] WHO SAID THAT? I'll just pretend im quoting someone else with that confession. Here's whats coming up in Australian fashion.

Crazy architectural themes in Statement Jackets.

Caped Jackets

Floral tea dresses with chunky boots, wear a bowler hat, like everyone else, and be "original" :P

Leather Dresses- the demure dominatrix way of course.

[Virtual Leather Vent Dress]

Muted tones, check out the satin panties! And the cream trench is mandatory every winter. but these ladies need to invest in some inch thick tights if they're keen to survive, either that or hibernate.

You shoulder poof, you! My lace piece from 'Ally' is going to get a workout.

Chambray hoodie [warm!]

Stripes.

They're already Autumn but i've got a feeling theyre

going to be big, especially under that chambray hoodie above.

Fur shrug/capelet [fake always] over muted geometrics

Socks and Heels, with soft colour dress, though 3 1/4 sleeves preferably.

Has anyone ever tried these frilly white ones with black opaque tights? im gonna check it.

Au Revoir

2010 Logie Awards Best Dresses

So its Logies TIME! I dont know about you but this is the first time i watched the logies and it was only for the red carpet section! thank god.

My two favourite dresses would have to be Margot Robbie's floor length white and embellished gown and Jessica Marais Melbourne-based Black satin J'Aton design. Stunning.

and she has a nice tan. [margot]

no reason,... just thought i'd add that. not turning lesbian btw.

i probably needed to add that actually because, phoar, the orange tan was out in FORCE! statement tans here and there! i mistook some of the tanned ladies for leather chairs. i could Sonia Kruger in my loungeroom. Actually i would never want that :/

Best Dressed List

Margot Robbie, 2010 Logies Dress

*same pose, different carpet area* :/

Jessica Marais' 2010 Logies Dress

Now thats fu*king hot. Although would have looked better with her boyfriend.

Carrie, im big on the black and white theme yeah? this corset is amazing. oh and the frills [swoon] just the right amount of Barbie. [not alot haha!]
Worst Dressed List

Normally i would refrain from such rude remarks about someones dress on a big occasion like this, its obvious everyone's put in alot of effort to look gorgeous... but these two stood out, to me, as big mistakes.

Is she wearing a garbage bag? [love the Tasma by the way] but a sparkly belt doesnt hide that plastic bag. tragic.

I cant tell what the hell Ruby Rose is wearing. i honestly haven't a clue. and her tatts confuse me even more. AND SHE HAS GREY HAIR!!!! she's so gorgeous, why grey hair. why?

Smart Casual

A lovely lady who happens to enjoy

Gloria Jeans' 'Voltages' as much as me

asked me to find her clothes for work.

Now, she works in retail, selling upmarket clothing..

beats me how she got the job if she cant

dress her self let alone another sex!!! I'm playing :P

Whether you work in retail or an office environment,

corporate styling is expected to sell your product

or promote your company.

So here's some 'Smart Casual' get ups

that wont get you sent home crying OR make

you look like an airline hostess.

[Keeping in mind denim is banned thanks to

evil corporate pen pushers]

Everyone knows a blazer with jeans

is a match made in heaven/ gloria jeans. yum.

First up is one that keeps with my... MINOR Leopard obsession...

you could also lose the scarf, tuck the leopard shirt into some straight leg pants

and wear a black power shouldered blazer for a full on look.

but i have limited resources having moved

]interstate and baggage allowance was 2 suitcases... :'(

Having said that Valley girl have an amazing

Power shoulder Blazer with frill detail around the base for $50 i had my eye on...

A poofy/ frilly casual top worn with a pencil skirt

[preferably longer than mine if you wear to work] and an embellished Belt looks ["fabulous"-LH]

Dont be worried about looking like your going bar hopping either, the length and height of your pencil skirt give it a corporate feel as well as wearing simple black or nude mid height heels, where the subtle studs make it New Season. Now lets go 'Rich-Man Hunting' [Newest Official Sport of the Olympics]

Another Tip when you want to go Smart casual is wear any pretty

casual top/ blouse you want- ANYTHING AT ALL!

with plain Black or pinstriped Straight leg pants/ pencil skirt.

Leopard Print

So a little 8o's isn't so Bad....

Leopard print came back in 2009 with the girls wearing it as scarves.

2010 is still in love with it.

Best finds are the prints with a rich golden brown colour in a singlet top to layer.

Leopard Pants? NO.

Leopard Heels... no.

Leopard Jacket... no. stupid Kate Moss.

Leopard scarf... OLD.

Their Way:

Daisy Lowe

Scarlett Johansson

My Way:

Wear with neutrals like

black, cream, brown or white to

tone the print down.

Accessories should be delicate and Gold.

Who knew you could make something nice out of such tacky stores?

Skirt & Singlet: ICE

Over Shirt: Jay Jays

Waist Scarf: Ulladulla Boutique

Fashion/// a friendly reminder that You Are Not Lady GaGa.

~~Fashion.~~
Does it make you think of Jordan ?
or what about Madonna? Pamela?
Spare me, I'd rather wear poo than a line by them.
[don't worry thats not going to be an issue! ... yet]
So to get yourself on societies "Best dressed list" [ha]
take note, less is more and Lycra should have been burned in the 80's... sadly that wasn't the case, and people are obsessing with wet look lycra- //shudder//
so i'm here to stop you!
A friendly reminder that

You Are Not Lady GaGa.

and somehow blood/Undies/leotards don't look good in real life....

Here's an old picture of the grande Beyonce...

~~BURN!!! the Denim tights, the horror, The HORROR!~~

Now children don't be fooled, that stunning power shoulder Jacket(thank you MJ) does NOT cover up the "faux denim" tights, and what they need is some good ol' lighter feul. "Do not try this at home" was definately on the label. Its really just another trend that Supre capitalised on and contributed to bare ~~assed~~ girls everywhere. If you've got them, for me, for people everywhere, and most of all for yourself, thrown them out.

Now that's my main fashion peve is out of the way, lets get onto the good stuff.

What the Models are wearing. First to peek the latest styles on numerous runways, people love the mix of eclectic designer and everyday casual that models chuck on. Photographers are getting lauder for their fantastic new "shoots" that require a dark room and a white or damask wall. clap clap! did you use a 5mp cam or what?!. outstanding! sarcastic or not.. we lap it up.

Here are the best and what theyre wearing.
Drule.
