What did you do with Jimmy? 2

I discovered Marcella’s blog only recently but I really like how she puts clothes together. It’s fashion forward but also a little quirky which I find endearing. I love love love what she did with the first outfit, still cannot get my head around those shoes put she sure does pull them off.

It looks like Rumi has also gone with the the low ankle boots from the JC for H&M collection. I think I might just have to admit to defeat, these shoes actually do look like nice and they just get better every time I see them.

Rosalind Keep for Oasis

After, Jimmy Choo and Sonia Rykel for H&M

Kate Moss and Christopher kane for Topshop

Giles Deacon for New Look we can now look forward to…

Rosalind Keep for Oasis.

If Oasis does not hold the same commercial value as Topshop, the collection designed by London College of Fashion undergraduate Rosalind Keel is sure worth the detour. Her collection of oversized T-shirts, racerback vests, cropped Ts with dresses, jackets and coats drawn onto them creating the perfect “trompe l’oeil” might become the next big thing. Not quite sure yet, how one goes about integrating such an item within our daily garments but I’m sure someone will get creative. These unique and one of a kind pieces will be available online from 7th December.

Sex(y) sells

Like every year we are faced with the frustration to deal with amazement and envy all at the same time. We start by snuggling up in front of our laptops with a bag of Oreo’s to watch the mind blowing VS show (airs 1st December) but by the end of the show we find ourselves doing sit-ups and hoping than when we wake up the next morning our body will have somehow transformed into any, we are not going to be picky, one of the Angels of the catwalk. But when morning comes, reality hits us and all we can do is browse the VS website and do some deeply needed therapeutically shopping.

No wait, we can’t even do that as they don’t ship to Europe. Well actually, this years VS show comes with some comforting news; VS has unveiled plans to launch in UK and Europe and to create a European online operation to offer next-day delivery, in 2010.

What did you do with Jimmy? 1

So we waited to see what the fashionistas of the web would come up with… and this is what I have found so far. This Belgium girl did what most of us would have done; slap on the bracelet and the belt and call it a day. She does however make, what could be a very matronly dress, look youthful and fun.

So I am not a huge fan of socks, and even less about socks with tights but somehow this fashionista from Hong Kong makes them look quirky yet cute pairing them with her new JC heels. Here is, probably, the most sober piece of the entire JC for H&M collection. This being said, the hole outfit screams youthful Parisian with a twist. Quite refreshing so see something else than the belt and the heels.

Kling grabbed herself a pair of the gladiator like hells, you can’t go wrong there. But I am loving the see through crochet cream top over the leather skirt, a lot. Caroline, is one or those girls that can pull off any boyish look, not sure many girls out there could make these Jimmy Choo shoes look so feminine.

Fashionistas, seem to have put their JC dresses and hells straight into the closet and i have a feeling we will be seeing them around Christmas again. To be honest, i think new year’s eve is going to end up looking a bit like this:
