The Divine Excess.


( In order- Jak & Jil,Mk- olsens anonymous,editorial found on chicmuse, Givenchy Fall couture 2010,Givenchy backstage makeup- style.com, Alexander McQueen RTW 2010 style.com, ceiling in Louvre Paris- own photography, Balmain rtw a/w 10- own collage, Anna Dello Russo- Jak & Jil,)


This Winter I am getting ready to indulge in the 'Divine Excess'- all things decadent- brocade, gold, beading, shimmer, lace, sheer, velvet, fur, jewel tones and probably way too much of everything. I must confess Autumn & Winter are my favourite seasons in fashion, and I can always guarantee with the Uk weather everything gets SO much wear. Unfortunately I missed last Winter while critically ill, and have spent this year fighting my way better. Indulging certainly seems the perfect focus and reward, and will allow lots of fun and creativity in dressing.    
There will be days when an understated, simple look feels just right- look out for a classic post on it's way!

    On the one hand I'm waiting for a new pre-fall collections, because those colors are more for me, but on the other hand I love summer & can't stand cold weather. I'm a 'small person' and keeping me warm is hard thing to do : D
    still, love the photos-mix!

    I'm so ready for autumn to get here! Summer in general usually leaves me feeling rather uninspired - probably because the heat is so miserable that I know I'm gonna feel like crap no matter what I do. Ready for layers! Woohoo!
