Red Is The New Black For Me

I might have mentioned before that one of my favourite colours is red. Even though I love the colour a lot, I do not wear it all that often, but strangely enough, during December I wear it quite often. My warm feelings for red becomes turn into a kind of obsession in the last month of the year. It's a strange habit of mine, and I have come to the conclusion that it must have something to do with the season we're in at the moment. Red is the Christmas colour after all!

So, as the Polyvore addict that I am (and I know I'm not alone), I decided to put together a few outfits, each with a red piece. I like dividing my collages into day and night because I often just swap out a few things before going out again. I just find that a lot easier, especially when I'm in a rush (which I am most of the time) than create a whole new outfit.

Do you wear a lot of red?

CHALLENGE SHE FASHION! THE MAIN RULES OF A FASHION-CONSCIOUS WOMAN.

The main rules of a fashion-conscious woman.

A woman is unpredictable. Today she wants to be a society lioness, tomorrow she will want to be a country-girl or maybe a "bluestocking", in modern meaning of this word. There is a gooв news for women of fashion: winter 2009 tendencies let you be as different as you can amagine.


You should buy immediately:
Lacy panty hose, that is шт fashion again this season. Patterns can be various from simple netting to intricate floral ornament.











Bring back to wardrobe:
Leopard print clothing. It is a fashion trend that has steadily grown this fall, and will continue to be prominent through the winter and spring 2009. One way that the animal print trend is developing is that it now includes other animal skins, for example, cheetah, zebra, jaguar, ocelot, cow, giraffe or tiger.







Pay attention to:
Combination of red and blue colors and chequered clothes. English style is extremely fashionable this season. Checkered coats, handbags and scarf are the hit of this season.








Look for inspiration in:
Men's accessories. Put on an ascot without doubts. You will look very sexy wearing suspenders cuff links, studs and hat in man style.

Advent - Day Three

Considering yesterdays advent treat had an almost overwhelming Christmas feel to it, I thought we best take a step back from the season and celebrate Oscar Wilde for box number three.

I am fond of his great work and could spout off a number of fitting quotes but there is one in particular which resonates with me right now...

“Looking good and dressing well is a necessity. Having a purpose in life is not.”

Exciting Designers - Erin Lewis

I love to feature new menswear design talent but blogs like Mensrag do it so much better than I possibly could and always beat me to the post. Fortunately for me Susie is sent a great deal of information regarding new collections from designers across the globe - some of which are menswear...but few are as exciting as Erin Lewis.

The cut of the jackets are some of the most interesting that I've seen in some time and the whole collection is styled to perfection!

According to her biography, like myself Erin was born in one of those seaside towns that they forgot to close but that is where the similarity ends. She initially trained in sculpture but a desire to learn tailoring brought her to the London College of Fashion. Her graduate collection was tailored to Saville Row standards and a collaboration with Dashing Tweeds showed both innovation and tradition - the highlight of which was a Gentleman's Cape in grey lumatwill. The result was a small collection bought by Beams-Japan. Erin sought to make the most of British design sourcing all fabrics and production from the UK.

The true highlights of the collection are the capes. Since missing out on Carolyn Massey's headmasterly cape as part of the recent Topman Lens collection, I have been looking for a cape which would excite and challenge me and Erin Lewis has designed more than one.

Since graduating, Erin has taken a job as head design of the 'Charro' collection at Mexico's leading Eco-fashion brand 'Taller Flora' (founded by Carla Fernandez, the brand focuses on making use of Mexico's skilled artisans, combining traditional textile techniques with contemporary design). Erin Lewis is certainly a name that I will remember and look out for!
