once again addressing money issues whilst obsessing over expensive clothes

Being depressingly poor has somehow not stopped me from going shopping, and even if I'd tried to be ignorant of it, it's difficult not to notice the heavy influences of high fashion this season on the high street. Lace, denim, over-sized tshirts with breton stripes, several different takes on nautical, the short trench, and beautiful neutral colours. I am a sucker for minimalism, and I can happily spend a ton of money just on unembellished shirts in a smorgasbord of pastel colours.

... I can't remember where I was going with this, but yeah anyways I think I was just saying that IT IS DEPRESSING that I want to buy EVERYTHING in H&M, New Look and Topshop right now. Especially the former... Everything is so pretty I just want to throw it all into a pile and sit in the middle of it. I don't exactly know what that would achieve, but I feel that it would be incredibly satisfying.

OH AND for the FRTW2010 shows so far, my favourites are A.F. Vandevorst with the beige body armour pieces over flowing, drapey trousers... Plus they drew on their models with chalk which I personally think is pretty immense;



and Elie Saab's ever-beautiful floorlength sheer black gowns that make me wish I was insanely rich just so I can own one. In fact, upon seeing that collection I told my mum...

ME: Mum?
MUM: -pauses tele- yes?
ME: When I'm on the red carpet, I will wear an Elie Saab dress.
MUM: Oh... -rolls eyes and unpauses tele-

Yeah. So. One day I will be on the red carpet for some reason or other, maybe, and then I will wear Elie Saab. Like Rachel McAdams at this year's Oscars, wearing my most favouritest dress ever!! Oh Elie Saab, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

Louis Vuitton Catwalk Highlights

Just checked out style.com for the Louis Vuitton catwalk collection for Spring 2010 and just thought I'd post my favourite pieces from the show, since it was overall such a stunning collection (a mish-mash of sport detail and army themes in cute little dresses and shorts).

I just thought that these dresses were just the most adorable things ever; and those colours! They seem like the sort of clothes you could just throw on and look effortlessly chic and yet they'd suit almost any occasion. I often think that some of the pieces in catwalk collections can be intimidating, and you could never possibly imagine yourself wearing some of the flamboyent 'costumes', even if they are beautiful creations. Louis Vuitton seems to have turned this idea on it's head to create something amazing. Maybe the colours and ideas are a little 'out there' for some of your tastes (you, my imaginary reader), but I think this is brilliance, personified. style.com

And: I really, really want this coat.
That is all.
