Jasper Garvida S/S 2011 collection - 'Belle'

I had the pleasure of attending Jasper Garvida's collection catwalk again, this time viewing this Spring/Summer collection for 2011, quaintly named 'Belle'. 

The collection sings femininity with its fitting tops and full pleated knee-skimming skirts.  The colours reminded me of candy land with lots of candy floss pink, gold, pastel purples and orange.  The collection is all about small embellishments, floral, block prints, a bit of lace, silk and soft jersey layers.

The hair sported was sleek up into high poufy buns with lots of embellishments and hair scarves.  The show was styled by Toni & Guy and directed by Tim Furssedonn. 
The make-up, directed by Sandra Cooke of AOFM, was a lot of pale and porcelain features which is very common in Spring looks.  The make up in minimal with sculpted cheek bones and pink lips.  Absolutely stunning. 

So think up-town prima ballerina for Spring Summer of 2010 and work it Jasper Garvida style.

 

 

 

What do you think of the collection?

Katy Perry - Style Icon?

The previous post (of Kim K and her high waisted jeans) was honestly a 'once-in-a-blue-moon' celebrity gossip/fashion post for me, and whilst I try not to talk about celebrity gossip too much, I couldn't help but be inspired to write today's post. 

(Not gossip as such but it is about fashion and it's fitting considering it's Fashion Week at the moment and tomorrow I shall be attending LFW seeing Jasper Garvida's show again)

Today's hot topic is actually about one of my 'favourite' celebrities - Katy Perry.  I remember  when she first burst into our screens with "I kissed a girl" and I had fallen completely in love.  I remember thinking how fresh yet kitsch she was and since then I've been watching her style transform. 
She didn't quite make it to my 'Style Icons' post because she her style can be slightly outlandish.  Nonetheless, she has come out with some of my favourite outfits of the past and I Just wanted to share them with you.  There is something about her style, her look, her behaviour and demeanour that sends shivers to my spine.

I love her in mini dresses, especially when she
turns up in something cute and pink.

This is a personal favourite picture because this is Katy
MATCHING her hubby Russell Brand.  She is dressed
slightly more 'normal' but I love it,  They are
both so smokin' hot here.  (Russell Brand is no Johnny Depp)

This picture makes it to this post because
of the blue wig.  I've never liked wigs
but I think she looks fantastic.

 

  Talk about blue, look her at in this blue polka dot dress
she recently wore in London.  She has great legs.
 

Perhaps one of my favourite Katy Perry outfits.
How can she look so innocent look yet ooze sex appeal?

And finally this is one of my favourite gowns
she's ever worn.  I love that she always stands out from the crowd.
She does showcase the odd blunder from time
to time but you can't help but love her for shots like this.  And for the
fact that her 'blunders' were purposefully done.

Do you have a not-so-obvious Style Icon?

Peace,

Fashion Thoughts - Kim K and High Waisted Jeans

A few of you may know that I'm going through the process of shedding a lot of weight (again) and it's been such a rollercoaster ride.  When I struggle I have to focus and think about what my goals are and what it is I want to achieve.
Besides optimum health and all the other saintly things I could spout out, I do want to be able to wear myself a pair of high waisted jeans and actually look good. 
I could not possibly pass the look off right now considering my abundance of chub and unshapely butt.  And I always thought that high waisted jeans were really for tall stick thin girls.  Tall perhaps but Kim K proves to me that even the more voluptuous kind can give it a go.  Is there hope for us mere mortals?

I came across these photos from an old article in The Daily Mail.  Here Kim looks amazing and the article talks about how wonderful Kim looked in them while Jessica Simpson didn't necessarily do them any favours.  

I don't know about you but I think this is just a bad angle, right?  I mean Jessica isn't Kim K but she is no fruit cake!  (I wouldn't mind looking like her ><)

So I've come to the conclusion that shapely women CAN wear high waisted jeans (well Lord, you can wear anything you like but does it look good?)  No one wants to risk a camel toe.  Or perhaps you need to be Kim K and look sexy in anything, even a trash bag. 

Ah Kim K, one of my "I-would-if-I-was-a-man-or-lesbian" women :)

What do you think of high waisted jeans?
