Well since i have quit my saturday job a month ago, i have been feeling the money strain as it were. But, i have done the odd job and babysit which does bring in the dosh but not something i want to do when frankly i don't need to. So i have decided to raid my closet create a shop on ebay and sell some of my vintage clothing, so if any one wants some of my chraity shops finds, comment and i'll keep you updated on how ebay shop construction is going.watch this space dears.
Coco's tip:buy things under £10 in charity shops and sell them to your makes for double

"Anyone see a wolf running about?"
I've never known how bad my bed hair is in the morning. Coming down stairs making the usual cup of tea, switching the lap top on and then...looking at the reflection of my hair on the laptop screen and mistaking its appearance for wolverine isn't a look i want to admire.
So this means i definitely need a change, I've shaven, cut, blow dried, extensioned my hair and i still feel the need for ever changing haircuts. I've never ventured on the windy road of colouring and i don't intend to but this hair is seriously making me consider it.
For now my best bet is to embrace the wolf like hair and then in the not so distance future (when i have money) get it cut.sorted.

It was the eve of London Fashion Week...
This evening I decided to give myself some exercise by taking a walk to Somerset House. Savouring these few moments I was trying to get a glimpse of any Fashion exclusives or mishaps. But if any one was going to do this it would be a highly experienced paparazzi photographer...not a meer clumsy but fashionable dressed girl tottering round on the cobblestone entrance in heels. I've never been sneaky and never could hide my amazement at the best dressed fashionista's. Of course i noted down all the ex centric items of my must have clothing that I now need, leather antlers and silver boots. But i also solidified the must have for the next shopping trip, ie. the cape, new leather trousers, heeled boots, camel coat, camel skirt, leather dress...okay so a lot of must haves but these trends happen on a year rotation, like florals in spring.
The only question i can't wait to be answered in the next couple of days is, But what is going to be different this season?

Musts
Okay, love them or hate them but clogs are obviously been highlighted as a must have high heel. Clogs were first revealed to the public by Scholl but Chanel have been reinvented into skyscraper pedestal platforms which are truly unique.
On the LOVE side of the argument they are bold, beautiful and evoke a very playful element which I find captivating. On the HATE side of the debate...okay I'm trying to think of negatives about them but I simply can NOT!
I have my eye on a pair at Topshop (as seen below) but they are £70. So for now I am regularly going into Topshop and trying them on while I stroke the deep chestnut leather and brass stumps. But you will be the first to hear of when I purchase these babies!
I would team clogs;
DAY
wide leg indigo jean, crisp white blouse and a peach coloured blazer with a brown suede tassel bag.
or
Over sized thick black/grey knitted jumper, black opaque tights, huge costume like jewelry necklace and of course vamp it up with a deep reddish/purplish lipstick (preferably get "the lips in vamp" at Topshop)
NIGHT
Ethereal, pastel coloured baggy dress (very short and high neck!) with opaque
tights, color dependent on pastel, hair up with huge earrings and a cocktails ring too! more jewellery the better for evening!trust me ;)

Fall 2010
Alexander McQueen
Undoubtedly there is always anticipation for any McQueen creation unveiling, but, due to the shocking circumstances there was even more focus on the last designed collection of McQueen would entail.
Needless to say the embellishment and embroidery made a grand statement to all the flawless medieval inspired garments and the sumptuous fabric imposed a sense of edgy, historic sophistication, which obviously captured the hearts of not only the fashionistas, but the general public. This collection questioned the reason way I perceived fashion, surely fashion is meant to be enjoyed be everyone?
You can always argue the impracticality of these garments as they are not the neutral palette of fashion this season, but they ARE works of impeccable art. From the choice of the luxurious colour palette, the gathered silhouette for the skirts, the beautiful blending of tones which evoke a royal statement and the highly tailored origami like structure of the jacket suit (my favourite piece!) which is where his expertise lies in my opinion, you can never doubt McQueen's God given ability to blend romanticism and tailoring into one complete 'ART' collection surely leaves a fresh yet permanent stitch on the forever changing Fashion World.
Mary Katrantzou
Ever since her debut this time last year I was immediately captivated by the trademark bold graphic prints that Mary produces. The juxtaposition of the feminine silhouettes and the sharped edgy masculine print creates her unique amalgamation of polar opposite concepts.
In this collection instead of using elegant perfume bottle images, she incorporates images of lace, jewels, ormolu, medals, and sashes and manipulates them to resemble modern geometric prints which slightly resembles the prints of Gianni Versace.
What I love about Mary is that you can see her progression as a designer in her collections. She started with simple designs like shift dresses, but now has learnt she needed to expand in her originality as a DESIGNER rather then being just a fantastic PRINT maker. You can see that she has manipulated the fabric to give different perceptions and depth to her fall 2010 collection which i really love and find utterly breathtaking. All I can say is I can't wait till her next collection!
