Fashion: Wishlist

I recently inherited some money from my absolutely astounding Granny, who sadly passed away in December. I don't want it to just sit in a bank account gathering dust until I decide what to do with it, so I've decided to invest in some classic fashion pieces, which I will treasure forever.

So I've definitely decided to invest in Chanel - a jumbo classic flap bag in caviar leather with gold hardware, along with a Louis Vuitton/Stephen Sprouse leopard print scarf and possibly a Mulberry/Louboutin's as well. 

What would you buy if you were given the opportunity to buy a classic piece?

Paris Fashion Week: Louis Vuitton & Miu Miu

Louis Vuitton

So we've come to the last day of Paris Fashion Week and of the whole A/W 11/12 season. And what a way to end. Marc Jacobs showed us fetish at Louis Vuitton: models handcuffed to their bags, uniforms, leather, thigh length socks, lace-up boots...and all teamed with porters' caps and Forties silhouettes. Oh, and can I have a pair of the high heeled rubber boots for Glastonbury? Thanks.

The set was just fantastic: models came up through the floor via 1930s hotel lifts and made their entrance onto the catwalk via a bell-boy opening the lift door. We also saw the extremely welcome return of Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss (smoking a post-sex fag) to the catwalk. Oh how I've missed the Supers!

Miu Miu

Forever a Miu Miu fan, Miuccia did not disappoint me this season. Collars, oversized waist bands and the return of the bird-print. The muted colour palette accentuated the structured silhouette and how gorgeous were the glittery shoes & boots? Another thing for my A/W 11/12 wardrobe wishlist.

Found these beautiful images (via Oh Joy) of Miss Capricho's absolutely stunning illustrations. I especially love the Louis Vuitton girl with the bunny ears. Love the simple lines and fantastic use of colour. These will now be adorning my studio wall - feeling very inspired by them!
