Funkis about clogs!

June 14th 2010 11:12
You probably would have noticed that the clog craze is starting to makes it's comeback....slowly! They are not yet stocked in all mainstream stores but funkis, a swedish design store are one step ahead and are making sales on these clogs already!

They bring me back to my childhood! I was probably 7 when my mum bought my firt pair of clogs. I was so in love! Whilst my friends were in the rain with gumboots, I was wearing clogs as my form of protection.....it was also very fashionable.

Shoulder pads have made their comeback bigger and better and I am not at all surprised the swedish clogs are back!

With the fashion trends constantly jumping back and fourth, I predict the clog fashion will complement long and ankle length woollen chain socks with vintage flower dresses. This would probably be teamed up with velvet slouch bags and dark red lipstick! LOVE!

Karl Lagerfeld

June 7th 2010 10:11
Besides practising my photographic work during my spare time, I have a love of reading biographies. Reading about people's lives and going through their journey to meet their dream is always so inpiring to me. It makes everything seem so reachable and everything impossible possible!

Today, I was reading Karl Lagerfeld. It all started off with Lagerfeld winning first prize at a wool contest, where he became Pierre Balmain's design assistant at a young age of 17. Three years in, he had become and art director for Jean Patou, wher he had deepen his knowledge in history, architecture, music and french.

Perfume had become as important as fashion for Lagerfeld, which had triggered him to launch "CHLOE" in 1975. His initiative made him the first designer to brand a scent globally before having a fashion label! After this success came more perfume labels to add to name.

By 1984, he created his own "KARL LAGERFELD" line whilst collaborating with the house of CHANEL and signed in new collaborations with CHLOE!

Like me, Karl Hagerfeld had a passion for photography and decided to move behind the lens in 1987 and build up his own advertising campaigns. These campaign had become part of a book and his talent led him to do photo shoots for prestigous magazines as one of his very many jobs.

Karl Lagerfeld is a man of many talents. His passion is what drove his success. He adapted more than one skill and used it to his advantage!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hope that one day....I will be just as talented as Lagerfeld himself!

Below are Karl Lagerfeld's most recent collection. They look absolutely divine!

Enjoy

So the last couple of days, my net has been going through maintenance, I have entered boot camp and have just recovered from being crazy sick and now.....I am back!

I found these Nude Lucy tights the other day that looked crazy funky! So I decided to dress it up and show you all, the look I have come up with!

I was inspired by music (with the crazy week in bed, work and boot camp music was my only sanctuary) and went for a dark punkish look with accessories to finish the look!

Here I am wearing a Cotton On top/jumper/dress with gold shoulder sequins, my new black Novo boots, silver Nude Lucy tights and a mix of accessories by Sportsgirl, Forever New, Diva and Equip.
