What I Like About Wang

The 2011 spring collection from Alexander Wang left me with more or less the exact feeling I had after seeing his fall collection; there are so many different details I can't stand, but I still somehow like most of it. Some of the shoes and some of the textures were brilliant, and even with the abundance of white used in the spring shows so far, it felt sort of refreshing coming from Wang.

Sign Language

Malgosia Bela by Tim Walker in a future classic editorial from the September issue of Vogue Italia. I'd love to spend a day inside Walker's mind, just to get a glimpse of how his imagination works.

Easy To Persuade

At the moment I fall in love with every trend the magazines try to make happen, including this "new minimalism". The long, perfectly tailored trousers I'll have to admire from a distance, as I feel a little to short to make the look work, but the skirts, dresses and jackets are on my to-buy list.

In other news, today it was cold enough that I had to put on a jacket, which means fall is really here. Just in time for the spring/summer fashion month!

I think I had another post planned, but these boots stole all my focus. Rick Owens + wedges = pure perfection.

Le Rouge

What to do with all those beige, camel, white and nude pieces you've purchased the last few months? I'm going to wear mine with something red/rust/burgundy/orange/you-name-it. Those red suede shorts are pretty high on my wishlist at the moment. In fact, wearing an all-red outfit is suddenly really tempting.

Read

Everybody wants to be rich, right? Well, I want to be rich so I can afford a mansion with a huge, slightly spooky, slightly gothic library filled with all the books I've ever read. As much as I love fashion, reading is my favourite pasttime. I've always been an avid reader, and everybody, including myself, were certain I'd end up as an author. Perhaps I will some day, but for now I'll just keep reading, and dreaming of a library like the ones above.

Top

I've finally gotten used to the whole bra-as-a-top trend, and then fall happens, and showing off this much skin will only lead to a sore throat and a runny nose.

The picture above, from the lovely Vanillascented, was what really convinced me that lingerie as outerwear can look great. Her bra is from H&M, and I've been keeping an eye out for it all summer, with no luck. The H&M in my little town is certainly not among the best stocked ones. I also love the options below, particularily the black one by VPL.
