Labor Day Weekend

Now that it is finally Labor Day weekend, I guess it is time to officially bid SS06 goodbye. . . . and embrace FW07! And well, school is also in the equation, but just think of all the absolutely GORGEOUS things that designers have waiting for us this season. Personally FW is my favourite season fashion wise, because there is so much more pieces and room for beautiful surprises. Here is a little preview:
Funky chunky cardigans and lots of layering from Free People. I just LOVE how they perfectly matched the green checks with the floral checks here.
One of my favourite things about the FW season- gorgeous gorgeous coats! I simply LOVE this one from Zara. Come to think of it, I love their whole FW07 catalog.
More beautiful coats from Ben Sherman and Lux. The white Ben Sherman one reminds me ever so slightly of that amazing white outfit Andy had on in Devil Wears Prada that everyone remembers and the Lux one is just very very pretty.

More bags perfect for school. The Prada one is just the right size and the style is subtle and elegant. This limited edition huge metallic bag from Marc Jacobs is quite the bargain at only $44. And since its plastic coated, it can survive the rain, snow and wear of school days.

And to complete your outfit, of course there are the sexy boots from Dior and Chloe. Hope this (and our new fabulous layout) helps to put you into the FW07 mood.

But while you are at that, don't forget to enjoy the Labor Weekend sales and tell us about your amazing finds so we can be jealous from here across the Atlantic!

New FW06 Layout

Ta-da! We have finally officially moved onto FW06!

For the past two layouts, our friend T helped us out with the technical stuff, like Photoshop and html. But it seems that the two of us are not quite as technically challenged as we'd thought and have actually picked up some skills in the last two (almost) years of blogging. Through many hours of playing around in our spare time (when HG got her wisdom teeth pulled out and BG didn't have to work), we finally came up with this layout using our limited skills and tons of creativity. This is the first time we've created the background all by ourselves using Photoshop, so we are especially proud of it.

This season's layout themes are shapes and minimalism with an eye for details. The silhouettes of the models demonstrate important shapes of this season, and the interior of the models shows the essence of this season's designs and mood. We chose the silhouettes and advertisements from the designer collections that we liked the most this season: Chloe, Balenciaga, Prada, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Gucci. As for colours, this season's will dominantly be black, grey and white, with splashes of red and purple.

Anyways, let us know if the new layout doesn't work on your browser. Hope you like the new layout -hopefully it makes you feel some of this season's fashion mood!

Simpson croaks through Today Show

Jessica Simpson croaked her way through a performance this morning on the Today Show. "I have no voice," the singer said. "I bruised a blood vessel in my vocal cords. I don't know if I had, like, a screaming, crying attack, or a coughing attack, or a sneeze or what." Simpson sang two songs from her new album despite her condition but sipped on some kind of medicine between songs. Matt Lauer noted, "[That's] gnarly looking. I don't even want to know what it is." Simpson replied, "I don't want to know either. My voice is shot."

Footwear Fashion 2006. Fall-Winter Tendency.

Interesting footwear tendency comming up this fall-winter. Cardinally new fashion is going to occupy the world. Interesting footwear designs will be causing joy to our eyes.

Look out for boots with laces, stud eyelets, knee boots, crocodile boots, wearable pirate/highwayman cuffed boots that stop at the knee, boots with fur cuffs, boots with fur up the sides, moccasin slouch boots with ikat and Inca designs, boots with grommets and biker buckles, Shearling and fur topped elegant boots. As for me such boots are very comfortable and womanly.




Suede boots come in in rich brown, leather boots in metallic effect with chocolate, bronze, copper or pewter tones. Skin textures such as pony skin are also relevant. Some kind of cowboy style is very fashion.







Alternative and extremally modern boots. Country style is very comfortable and fashion at the same time. Beside, woman's legs look very delicate in such boots.
