The Colour And The Shape



I think I'll never get tired of a great wedge. These, from Rick Owens, have the perfect height, silhouette and attitude. I've been in love with RO footwear for a while, but these are better than anything I've seen from him previously.

Cheers




"I've got some Ugg boots. The problem is I feel like I'm falling backwards. My muscles just aren't built for flats anymore," - Daphne Guinness.

That 70's Shoe



If you want neutral, simple and elegant shoes for fall, you'd better steer away from the latest Balenciaga footwear. While I'd prefer these in slightly less busy colour schemes, I'm still in awe. They look a bit more wearable than the "Lego shoes" from some seasons ago, and the silhouette is simply wonderful.

Flowers In The Window


Today was such a WONDERFUL day! Earlier I felt like I'd taken some sort of happy drugs, but it was only the result of the very first hints of spring arriving. I had no idea a few hours of sun could elevate my mood this much. The snow is melting! I can see the asphalt again!

Because I'm in such a "springy" mood, I wanted to post some pretty flowers. First out are the prints at Rodarte. While I didn't care much for the full looks from this collection, I loved the rose prints they used. Romantic, delicate and not really correct for fall, but very pretty.



Christopher Kane had no time for romance. For his fall collection he mixed pretty flowers and lace together with tough black leather, and I absolutely loved the result.



Yes, all of the above looks from the D&G collection feature flowers. That eight-point star is the traditional Norwegian Selbu rose. You've probably seen it on old knitted sweaters and mittens, and I was really surprized when it made an appearance in Milan.

Bold and Beautiful


Fendi

Sometimes it's rewarding to take a step back, forget about the clothes and have a closer look at all the magnificent details of a runway collection. In Milan, I noticed beautiful shades of orange at Fendi, sleek bags from Jil Sander and the usual eye-catching necklaces at Marni.
