Givenchy & McQueen inspired

Sources: Caylee, Karen and Christing

Our beloved H&M came out with a few pieces that were clearly inspired by two great names in fashion; McQueen and Givenchy. The most striking pieces were the crazy black & white prints that were seen on trousers, leggings, dresses and jackets. These quickly become bloggers favorites. And even though I looked like a complete fool in the dress, I still think it looks amazing on these girls, but there is no question that you need the legs to go with that dress.

Edit: Or dare to go all in like the gorgeous Sandra, who pulls off the entire graphic look by pairing it with a simple black top and some killer black satin Miu Miu pumps.

However, as much as I like this collection it does leave me a bit perplex as to the extent to which high street shops such as H&M and zara have started copying big house name. They no longer seem to even try and disguise the fact that they are simply making a cheaper and more affordable version of what designers showed during previous Fashion weeks. I actually don't mind it as I believe that fashion really shouldn't be so ridiculously expensive but then on the other hand the fact the high streets brands are simply loosing all imagination and creativity and just 'copy - pasting' with a hint of difference is quite worrying. Any thoughts?

The perfect little dress

I have had this stripped American Apparel dress fro a couple of year and have only worn it a bunch of times, but for some reason I just can't seem to get rid of this particular one. When my friend asked me to borrow it and jumped to the occasion and thought it was a bout time I did a post on this dress. It has nothing really special about it appart from the fact that I find it really expensive for what it is. However, I do love a dress with good pockets and I have to say it is a great dress to be worn over and over again (and through all seasons) without screaming 'this is the hundredth time I have been worn the same way'.

Fedora hats

... rain and with rain comes... umbrellas, wellington boots and (this fall/winter) ...Fedoras! I am a huge sucker for big scarf and hats, any hats will do. I had been on the hunt for the perfect velvet Fedora for this fall, not to small but not to huge as not to look like you have just come off the boot from Mexico. I found mine in H&M, Fashion Against Aids collection (sneak peak in previous post, HERE).

As always, the Fedoras were first spotted on the catwalks, and in the recent add campaigns, and the girls from the blogosphere have hopped on the trend again, and this time so did I. First up are my three favorite ways to wear it, plain black and white outfit like Elin, very laid back and cozy like Karen and brown with the 'borrowed' from the boyfriend' look like Golestaneh.

Plastic summer

Indeed, this summer it was all about transparency and what better way to play the game than with plastic. It was all about the plexi Prada and Fendi shoes, the plastic Hermes totes and anything else plastic and transparent. I am not so sure how I feel about parading around with a transparent bag with all of its content on display for the world to see. However I am loving the plexi shoe trend, ad not just a bit. So here goes for a trend post full of transparency and plastic and many other details I have to share with you.

First up, are our beloved swedish girls you seem to have adopted the Prada plexi shoe immediately and have done so to perfection, I think I prefer the Prada shoe with the black strip to the white of silver one.

Christine does some pretty bloody amazing DIY when it comes to shoes, and these DIY Fendi plexi heels are no exception. So I urge if you don't already know her to check out her blog.

I was so glad when I stumbled upon Arielle's blog, Something Navy as I soon discovered these little beauties on her feet from none other than ALdo. Which I immediately ordered and got a friend to bring them back from the UK for me. Shock horror when I soon discovered that the left foot was a EU size 37 and the right a  size 38, not good Aldo. Those of you who follow me on Twitter might remember the saga, anyway the second (and hopefully in the right sizes, both feet please) pair is on its way to me this weekend. Anyway if anyone has one foot smaller than the other ie the left, and normally wears a 3! let me know and i can sell you these puppies if you are interested.

My current plexi shoe craving from Aldo (the ones that are on their way hopefully in the right size) and from Queens wardrobe. Will you, or are you already doing the transparent and plexi trend?
