Wannabe Wasson

My first memory of Erin Wasson is reading something that a fashion editor said about her sizzling down the Chloé catwalk in a pair of barely there denim hotpants, back in the early days of Phoebe Philo.


Stylist and muse for the ultimate Alexander Wang, the above portraits give us a taste of her highly anticipated upcoming jewelery line, Low Luv.

Mad For Missoni

There are few times when I am struck by the smaller details featured on the runway and Missoni wouldn't normally appear on my list of most covetable accessories.

Yet the dandy shoe boots and structured clutches, both in an array of earthy and jewel color tones, featured in their most recent AW08 collection, have certainly caught my eye.




Whereas only moments ago I was dreaming of Summer nights spent dancing on the beach in the bare minimum of a floaty mini dress and veil of shimmer body lotion, after spotting the above accessories I'm already looking forward to next Autumn.

I probably won't be jumping into piles of golden leaves in my favored choice of footwear, nor stuff my spare change and stash of apple drops into the supple leather of the semi-precious stone encrusted Missoni clutches, but I have more than enough time to find suitable replacements in order to do so.

Currently Coveting

Regardless of measuring in at 5"11, I often find myself browsing the endless rows of stilettos in The Shoe Room at Brown Thomas or the fabulous range of ultra luxe sandals that take pride of place in any Topshop footwear range.


Burberry

I regularly have to remind myself that no matter how much I lust after yet another pair of gravity defying bondage style platforms, adding an extra six or so inches to my already clumsy frame wouldn't be an ideal party look.


Topshop

How I long to pop on a clumpy pair of Miu Miu's finest sculpture-like stacked heels and stomp around town in a mismatched minidress and my trusty black Wolfords. There's just something about a sturdy, towering heel that not only elevates your physique, but also your spirits.


Miu Miu

For the moment I'll make do with comfy pumps and ballet slippers, although I look forward to the day that I give up worrying about towering over peers and feed my secret footwear fantasy.

Feelings In Photos

I randomly found this image wandering around online, courtesy of a wonderful French photographer Camille Vivier and fell in love with it instantly.


I'm scheming ways of recreating the above outfit as swiftly and as economically as I can. Trés chic just about sums it up.


I also recently discovered this stunning piece of photography by Ye Rin Mok. I love the way it looks as if there is a compelling story behind it, something beautiful but sad.
