So it is back from Paris where arguably the most relevant fashion week shows were drawing to an end, the cafes served mediocre food, a beer costs 10 Euros and a hand gel 4 Euros!!! And without having attended any of the shows, I can only speak from street observations....here are a few things I love and a few things I can no longer bear....
Am still loving:
-Chantecaille make up, specially the HD powder and the label's eyeliners
-skinny jeans, preferably J brand, but Paige "Edgemonds" are great too and ALWAYS mid rise
-thin gold bracelets
-ankle boots (with short skirts if you are under 30 and have great legs)
-coated/waxed pants, doesn't have to be black, J brand has a gorgeous red one coming for A/W 13/14
-summer wedges of moderate height
-simple one strap stiletto sandals SANS platform
-bi or tri colour handbags, Celine, of course
-white, white, white, on anything but leather shoes
-Gianvito Rossi shoes
-rockstuds Valentino
Tiring of:
-mid parted long curled hair (even Giuliana Rancic has realised enough is enough!!!)
-Isabel Marant, same old, same old, season after season and escalating prices (we urgently need a substitute for this "staple, can't live without" label!!!)
-hyped Saint Laurent, as above, more of the same old without the Yves and sadly still making "Tribute" ridiculous platform sandals
-hidden wedge trainers copied everywhere
-feline look eyeliner
-hyped Sophie Webster shoes, who does she know in London? every week in every magazine/newspaper and her shoes are just a badly crafted (in Brazil sadly) copy of her old boss's designs at Nicholas Kirkwood???!!
Needless to say, NO, NO, NO:
-logo handbags
-anything Tory Burch
-evident logo sunglasses
-cotton leggings
Nice, but hit and miss labels at the moment:
-Carven
-Iro
-Isabel Marant
-Maje
-Dagmar
Always a hit:
-Helmut Lang
-Rag and Bone
-Schumacher
-Duffy
-Brooke Gregson silk bracelets
-Oliver Peoples sunglasses
For the £££££oaded this season:
-Etro
-Belstaff (gorgeous after gorgeous jacket, knits and dresses, fierce but ladylike)
-Missoni (yes, back to beautiful, not all stripes)
-Peter Pilotto
-Mary Kratantzou
-Rick Owens
-Vsp of Vespucci
-Ferragamo (great white and off white leather in everything)
Online tip: shopbop.com for jeans, best prices from the US and Fedex speedy deliveries with import duties included in the final price, great customer service too.
How much do I love this jacket by VSP Vespucci?
