I WANT TO BE YOUNG FOREVER

Leopard everything is coming to welcome us into the colder months and I love love love leopard, it is my fashion must have. I hold Leopard anything close ot my heart, some of my favorites- Betsey Johnson, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, and Gwen Stefani have strongly inspired me with their fashions and all of them I look at as leopard wearers.Leopard is probably one of my favorite patterns/accessories to work with because adding just a little of it to an outfit brings it alive.
Obviously leopard is perfect with black, and I always love boots. tights and skinny jeans yum to accompany them. There are other colors you can wear with them but again you must test this out, definitely stick to darker,neutral colors with this, never brights. These can be leopard coats can be pricey but I am sure the wonderful Forever 21 or H & M will have a more affordable one for you to rock. Don’t think you have to just stick to leopard coats, pick up any leopard accessories you love(I still am lusting for a leopard scarf), Think headbands, purses, blouses, possibly even skirts if you wanna get a little crazy but remember pair with black and maybe a splash of color. Leopard is hot have fun with it but Ps. it better be fake. Here’s some inspiration:

Flats or heels, it is your choice both are the perfect dash of leopard.When I think of Betsey Johnson, leopard comes to mind how cute is this leopard heel, it’s all in the details.

Emma Johnson looks at some of the fantastic new swimwear on offer

Summer is in and its about time to reveal those hidden swimsuit in your closet and start thinking about your summer vacation. If you're headed to the beach, you'll definitely need a good pair or just a piece of fashionable swimsuit.

Versace already came out with their Spring Summer 2009 Collection and that includes these two swimsuits.

This one-piece swimsuit is just perfect for those who doesn't feel comfortable about wearing limited two piece. Just a cup of courage and you're on.
If you feel like wearing a two piece swimsuit but would like to add a bit of a conservative approach at the top, try this Versace two-piece swimsuit with silk chiffon top. A good pair of sunglasses is needed to for a complete summer outfit!

The collection is small, but stunning. Donatella doesn’t show couture at a show, instead doing private showings. I think this is a mistake. I haven’t enjoyed a Versace collection this much since…well, ever.

Whilst other designers at this season’s Paris Fashion Week were playing it safe with minimal overheads and just as minimal (and severely underwhelming) results, the Dutch duo, Viktor & Rolf, were showing the world their best in chainsaw hacked ballgowns – yes really. When discussing the collection, Rolf Snoeren very matter-of-factly stated, “With the credit crunch and everybody cutting back, we decided to cut tulle ball gowns.”

The biggest of the ballgowns came at the end of the show but in its entirety the runway was constantly flavored with over the top ruffles and the queen of higher than high outfits, Roisin Murphy, performing on a pedestal at the back of the show.

I love you Viktor & Rolf – one day I hope to be graced with some of your clothing…and you can definitely hack them with whatever you like beforehand.

Miu Miu’s collection was the last much anticipated highlight of Paris Fashion
Week 2009. The collection was apparently inspired by la bourgeoisie. I would call it more like Neanderthal-Chic.

Fox furs were draped diagonally across models chests and ethnic prints featured heavily on baggy shift dresses. This mixture just didnt work somehow, and all the dresses opened bizarrely at the front, exposing models bras. This really didnt look sexy though, it just looked awkward, the baggy dangling material looked lost, like it was just badly put together.

Then came an overdose of rhinestone embroidery all rather oddly placed on boring tops and long pencil skirts that made all the models looked old beyond their years.

This show from Miu Miu felt like it lacked a really strong vision. They didnt know what they wanted to be. Hopefully Miuccia Prada gets the Miu Miu identity back on track for spring/summer 2010!
