The Kardashian Kollection

No, i did not spell that wrong , it really is called the Kardashian kollection. Ever wondered how you can get a piece of the Kardashian sisters unique style? well now you can, that is, if you have allot of spare dosh. I have recently found a boutique in America - i didn't go , i live in England- that sells some of this collection. They have gotten together- by them i mean the 3 sisters - and created a designer collection of approximately 69 items/accessories. From what i can gather it's either all bags or mostly bags.

The purple bag shown below or above or to the side wherever it bothers to appear , is an example of the collection.  It's quite nice, not necessarily my cup of tea but i would wear/carry it. It features a gold , metal , magnetic fastening thingy and a magenta coloured architectural/ geometrical pattern sown on the side. All in all it's nice enough however i personally wouldn't pay the $49.95 being asked for it, but that's jsut me. The bags range from $39.99 to around $139.99 (ish).

It has come to my attention that we could be expecting a comeback of 40's glamour this autumn/winter.

What is 40's fashion?
Some must have key items and accessories are:

• Pussy bows
• Skinny belts
• Pencil skirts
• Fake fur
• Pearls
• Gloves
• Big clutch bags
• Sun glasses
• And a ton of class and womanly charm.

Who's done 40's and how ( from what i have seen from the catwalk shows):
Miu Miu: fur wraps over tailored dresses.
Donna Karan: Created a sexy feminine silhouette by wrapping and twisting fabric. Used pearls and elbow length gloves. Pulled the outfits together with a classic skinny belt.
Frida Giannini at Gucci: Fedoras and pussy bow blouses.
Jonathon Saunders: lots of colour and classis pieces.

Sneak Peak Chanel fall 2011

Ok images courtesy of style.com and information courtesy of http://www.purseblog.com/chanel-bags/sneak-peek-chanel-fall-2011-handbags.html so have a look at both , all rights reserved and shizzle.
So this is sort of a preview of whats to come from the fall collection from chanel. Its not enough to fully evaluate but it can atleast give you an impressiona nd if you ahte it, chances are your going to ahte the final collection and visa versa.

Clutches

I like this one in a statement dont mess with me kinda way. I wouldnt use it i dont think, but then my bags have to be literally strapped too me in order for me not too loose them and even so the contents allways seems to find itself around my house-its not my house im still in high school. For this clutch bag i would wear either a geometrical dress whcih had orange shapes on it, a belt and heels-if in the day big sun glasses, bangles- or an all one colour dress, posibley shift/strapless with heels/flats-balley pumps- and a contrasting belt all one colour too say purple dress, green belt and orange clutch for that colour blocking fashionable style thats everywhere at the minute.

Hand bags/satchels

To all of you who this picture confused don't worry your not alone. I originally thought it was one of those effects to make it look like it was being reflected liek on water? but if you look closeley you will see its a tote on top of a clutch purse. I assume they are a matching set and not actually sown togetehr which would be funny but not practical. Then again! it would save time and save buying two bags. I think chanel have got an idea in the making here. Anyway The tote and the clutch both have a gold and silver shadowed snake detail. The tote has a gold chain handle making it pretty chic in my veiw and what looks like a brown centre, you know like the ribbon running through it. The clutch has a flap top which fastens ussing thast cute fastening which i cant really explain in the space i have left.

I quite like this one in a weird vintage kind of way. I personally wouldn't be able to pull it off or have anything to wear it with but its kinda cool in that old yet fashionable sense. I would wear this with like blouse shorts, brown ankle boots, brown woven style belt, some gold chainy jewellery and those vinatge style earings with the fake pottery queen or soemthing inside them? so full on vintage. Oversized chunky brown/pastel cardigan if its cold.

 I like this one too, I think you could use this for night and day. Personally i would have this as a really fashionable, statement acccesory to a work outfit/lunch date/night out in the town. I would keep the outfit chick for work- black  tuxedo, rufley blouse, pencil skirt, vintage belt, gold jewlery, middle sized heels. Maybe some of those driving gloves in brown too-to contrast with the bag.

Purses

This one is kinda cool in a retro bright orange kind of way but i don't think i would buy it for whatever price chanel is charging for it. And i wil tell you why. I got like the exact same one ages ago in a sort of limey /sea green colour free from a magazine. No joke they are basicly the same. exept now i think of it i think mine might be more squarey? but still the same quilted , purse look going on there. Dont get me wrong i would choose he chanel option if i could but sadly i think that decisions up to my pocket money and to buy this would put me in debt for years. This bag makes a handy, statement and quick accesory to jazz up an outfit. 

This ones wuite nice too. Because its black it will go with almost any outfit and still makes a statement like the one above without being too over powering. The flower detail gives it a summery/glitzy/femminine touch but its not too over the top. For a highstreet version i would try primark or new look/h&m. It again sports the chanel logo on the zip.

My favourite
This one is my favourite because i love the python detail and the flap front that fastens. The chains really cool as well. Most of all i love the way it kind of looks like its decaying, in a good way, sort of mossy, like crumbling stone work. That might be because someone i know chose corrosion and decay for their textiles project, i did historical fashion and for my 2nd architectural detail. Yes baby , im doing historical fashion at the moment. Anyway chanel makes this gorgous unique piece fit in its dystopian Fall 2011 collection.

Alexander Mcqueen Limited edition/gifts

Hey so these are some gifts i found and also some limited edition Alexander Mcqueen items that i wante to share with you because they are really ncie and i love Alexander Mcqueen coz hes a babe. In case you don't know hes a fashion designer, he is actually dead-killed himself :/ , but his fashion  house/couture label has taken his palce to continue to produce gorgous items.

Savage Beauty

First is the Silk scarf.(left! the book is not a scarf, i know revelation....) It was created to celebrate Savage beauty and made exclusivley to commemorate Alexander Mcqueen. Its being sold in new york :/ downer , but i think you can buy it online? .

I love this scarf but unfortunatley, priced at $495 its not really in my price range tbh. It is a mix of silk and chiffon. I think i read somewhere that the skulls have been taken/influenced by previous collections.

Ok now the book. From what i can gather the book includes pictures of alexander mcqueens finest moments, catwalk shows etc.. It has an interveiw with him in it and also his commentation, i assume on his collections. I would write more but the website is playing up. Quote from the website about the book "Savage Beauty, published on the occasion of an exhibition organized by the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute in New York: preface by exhibition curator Andrew Bolton; contributions by Susannah Frankel and Tim Blanks: photography by Sølve Sundsbø. The book features the most iconic and radical designs of Alexander McQueen's prolific career with his own illuminating commentary, in addition to an interview with Alexander McQueen Creative Director Sarah Burton: features lenticular front cover "I put it in italics for you because .... im that nice. It costs $45, which is reasonable i guess.

This is a silver skull key ring, i think it means silver colour but at the price of it i would want a nice chunk of solid silver, but thats just me...It has swarovski crystals for eyes-yh dont we all- and a solid brass, logo embossed coin with an anti-allergic silver finish. Just in case you were debating buying it because you might come out in a rash.......

Don't get me wrong i love it but i would probably loose it. Seeing as its $125

Gifts

In the gits department (of the website) i found these cute key rings. I don't think they have anything to do with savage beauty but they follow the same idea and they come in different colours!! So i guess you coudl go off colour or just base it n the value of your house because you might have to sell it to buy one.



$80

Book of the year/month/eternity/your whole life.....ever

from amazon al rights reserved!

OMG gok wan is the collest person ever. If you dont agree i think you should turn around, there shall be no gok wan haters on this blog EVER. OK so the book i have chosen is Gok Wan's autobiography "Through thick and thin" its an amazing book. Its so sosos worth it, he wrote it and you really feel liek you know him and what hes been through once you have read it. It is called through thick and thin because he was obese then annorexic which is sever sad times. because he is PERFECT but we shall not go into that.

Reasons why i lvoe Gok Wan:

• He helps so many people
• Hes been through so much to be where he is
• Hes living the dream
• Hes living my dream
• He is amazing at fashion
• He is my idol
• He is fricking awesome and jsut looks so cool
• He has funny names for everything including himself, my faves are "auntie Gok", "Fairy gok mother", "Bangers"
• He is genuine
• He writes books which are fabdidddleytastic.  (that made my spell checker go crazy not that i use it anyway as you can tell... i only found i had one like yesterday  meh who needs one anyway you guys understand me right?) RIGHT?
• He has his own glasses range
• He helps kids
• He has cool tv shows
• He designes clothes
• He can draw

Ok the glasses thing brings me to my next point. GOK WAN HAS HIS OWN GLASSES RANGE AT SPECSAVERS!!!!!!!!! did you know that? if so why did you not tell me? it is like my life ambition to meet gok wan (and hug him of course) and wearing his glasses would bring me one crucial step closer. No i am not a stalker...... as such. But yh i saw them and went crazy 9 more so than usual) they are amazing i want them but they cost £100 so i dont see that happening any time soon. Anyhoo but they show his typical style like the big frames and funky styles and ahhh focus pixie!

 No but if you go on the specsavers website you can try them on! oh my days total cool-german- i know girl of many talents. As you can see right. Alright i know i look ridiculous but in my defence this is a very old photo and i look ridiculous wearing and doing most things so...... but try it es ist total cool. again some more german for you there woop. 

OK the book
Seriously i learnt so much from reading this like he was kicked out of school and that he originally wanted to be an actor. He turned to working at a beauty counter with no experience as a last result and worked form there. He managed to blag his way to the top doing portfolios and telling all sorts of fibs lol. He is known for his sensitvity and that really shines through. It gives even more depth to his personality if you get me? you learn how and why he ened up where he is with the attitude that he is. It is amazing.

Where
You can buy his book on amazon for a great price, it is also available in all good book shops such as WH'S and Waterstones. I am madly in love with it.
