VINTAGE JEWELLERY EXTRAVAGANZA!

Jewellery is a big vice for most gals, I’m a total magpie when it comes to anything remotely sparkly. The perfect piece is something beautiful that is in limited stock, so vintage jewellery is absolutely ideal. (more…)

SS11 SHOE TREND REPORT VIA SHOE FANATIC

Summer has arrived early and with scorching temperatures we have been able to put away our boots and opt for something a little more revealing. Spring Summer collections have enthused us with a selection of funky yet chic styles for 2011 so Shoe Fanatic brings you an update on this seasons shoe trends.

Brights

Inject colour into your wardrobe by overtly contrasting bolds and brights. Opt for an electric colour palette such as pink and orange and mix with blues and greens. Bright screams confidence so strut in style and make a statement.

Wooden

The 70’s inspired wooden heels have taken over the catwalk this season and they look absolutely fantastic with a pair of palazzo pants so I cannot wait to invest. There are some beautiful wooden heels, however I have my heart set on this stunning collectors piece by Charlotte Olympia. These shoes demand attention so be sure to dress from the shoes up.

Charlotte Olympia £970

Platforms

Platforms are back with a vengeance and this season we have an even higher platform to choose from. Team with a tailored dress and stand tall in a shoe that demonstrates attitude, poise and glamour. Louboutin have done us proud with ‘Daffodil’, the same style recently worn by Victoria Beckham at the Royal Wedding and Beyonce (below).

Wedges

Thankfully, we also have a shoe, which may be cherished by all of you fashionistas who cannot quite manage a 6.5 inch heel and 2.5 inch platform! The wedge is much more manageable and they look hot with a maxi or some super sexy shorts. Lanvin caught my eye with these snake print canvas wedges.

Lanvin £640

So what’s your favourite style for SS11, would you opt for the mega platforms or the wedge?

Menswear A/W 2011

Menswear A/W 2011 had delicious slices of what we want to see our men in next A/W. The Film Noir/ Humphrey Bogart’s 2011 update from Lanvin was lush, Dior Homme gave us greys and blacks in classic shapes with two tone lapels and voluminous man capes. The Queen of layers, levels and details Ann Demeulemeester added colour, print, and gauntlets to her monochrome palette, while Raf Simons gave us pops of colour, knee length jackets and long sweaters. Acne went ankle length with coats and trousers alike, with pops of muted purples, blues and greens.

Lanvin <3 H&M

H&M is proud to announce that its next designer collaboration will be with Lanvin, one of the most influential brands of the 21st century. Designed by Lanvin’s artistic director Alber Elbaz, and menswear designer Lucas Ossendrijver, the collection will go on sale on November 23 in around 200 H&M stores worldwide.

The collection of both womenswear and menswear will be revealed to the world on November 2, just three weeks before the clothes hit the store, making the launch of Lanvin for H&M among the most anticipated fashion events of the year.

Alber Elbaz, artistic director of Lanvin.

“We are thrilled about Lanvin’s collection for H&M, it is such an exciting moment. Lanvin will bring to H&M a luxurious French tradition that is also modern and playful. It is very much a Lanvin collection, using their cut and tailoring, with lots of focus on form and details for both women and men. The launch in November is going to be full of wonderful surprises.” Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor at H&M.

Since joining Lanvin as artistic director in 2001, Alber Elbaz has transformed the Paris-based label, founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin, into a fashion powerhouse bursting with ideas and creativity. Pioneering some of the biggest trends of the past decade – ribbon, bows, pearls, raw edges, sumptuous colour and metallic embellishment among many others.

Lanvin is the latest brand to collaborate with H&M, with previous collections designed by the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Comme des Garçons, Victor & Rolf and Sonia Rykiel. In a new twist, the Lanvin for H&M collection will be revealed to the world through a special film which will be launched on November 2. The film will be available for all to see online at www.hm.com. Following the film’s debut, it will be just three weeks before customers have the chance to get their hands on a covetable piece of Lanvin for H&M.

I love the idea of these collaborations but in reality I can’t stand it. I probably won’t get a great piece because I don’t do standing outside the store for hours waiting for the first peek and the dash and grab situation that follows (I wouldn’t subject my assistant to it either). If H&M want to give us a lil’ preview, that would please me greatly! Otherwise I’ll just admire it from afar.
