If Paris is the grand-daddy of fashion weeks then in that respect, the shows do sometimes forces me to reassess my maturity in my own style aesthetic (or lack of maturity...).  What with everyone clamouring for reductive, minimal yet beautiful things (spreaking of which, read about my Celine woes on Twitter...), I can't help but be seduced.  Still, even when faced with stunner pieces like this coated cable knit cape from the Vionnet A/W 10-11 collection, I'm thinking a ton of acrylic jewellery of the Michelle Jank ilk and some mixed floral prints going on underneath could be good.  I just can't hold back and wear the I'm using Vionnet as one of many examples that no doubt, I'll try and catch up yonks after fashion week because of the dead eyes. 

>> Yo Miuccia, Fan Girl here!  Waving at you, screaming, possibly even coming up to you to ask you to autograph my back with a nice and thick sharpie pen.    

>> When in doubt... use colours from Noddy for instant cheer as G-Star did in their A/W 10-11 show.  The resee certainly gave me a morning jolt on Wednesday.  For some reason, I had a combination of Noddy, Captain Bird's Eye (the old one, not the cheesy young one), fisherman, airline stewardesses and the Jetsons all colliding which made a pretty good trek back through the past.

>> I was going to pair these pics with the previous post because I did think it was slightly hilarious that I turned up at Rad Hourani, where the fans were dressed up in the slickest sea of black, all elastic leggings, pvc, leather and blocked out sunglasses and I wore...

... this Tina Kalivas beauty that comprises a frilly tie-dye dress with a matching wool harness and the Louise Gray fluffy pink mohair coat...

Inappropriate?  Perhaps.  Happiness-inducing?  Most definitely.

Boooo to WHSmiths and my newsagents not stocking the Elle Collections. 
Yay for the new issue arriving at my desk this morning.  I know it's been out for a couple of weeks but seeing as Borders'
closure has slowed down my magazine intake, it's taken me this long to
get it.
