cool pastels...?

I never thought i'd say this, maybe its this never-ending winter we're having, but i'm starting to think pastels maybe really, really cool. It started off when I first saw these beautiful shots from W magazine's January editorial, 'Run of Show'. I would be happy with a whole wardrobe of dusty pinks and nudes, and I would banish my black jeans forever for a piece of S/S 10 mui mui, it is Muiccia Prada's best collection EVER! I want it all, especially the shoes. Ahh, here's to sweet pastel coloured dreams...

COUTURE DIOR!!!!!! (woop)

Always a personal fashion highlight for me - the John Galliano spectacular that is the Christian Dior Couture Show, images and review from the utterly brilliant Sarah Mower went up on style.com yesterday and here are my faves, I really love a white shoe or boot, so these Edwardian spats booties go top of the wish list, i'll take the matching outfit too, and the red riding ensamble for those weekends in the country. tally ho!

best of S/S 10?

At least we think so. Giles is always a firm favourite and Vicky has a dinosaur fetish so he had to get a mention, Stella McCartney - love, love, love! 3:1 Phillip Lim, tres chic no? and Derek Lam has done the best prints this season, perfect for colour blocking accessories.

and here's the Laura J London styles we'd put with them...
featuring the Frame, Mortise, Joist, Flash and Bolster, available from Poste Mistress and the Laura J London boutique from the middle of Feb.

trotter's anyone?

Us chicas at Laura J London really don't do shoes that work in last weeks weather, trainers yes, ugg boots, no. Wellington boots, ONLY ONCE, and very regrettable, but my pride and bottom was getting bashed (note to self - vintage soles are very slippery when teamed with ice. weird.)

So why exactly does Irregular Choice make an ugg boot look, but without any of the practical elements that warrant wearing the bloody things. Behold! these really hurt my eyes people. How can one boot take so many bad things, brown buckles, tweed, clog - like soles, legwarmers damn it! and put them all together. These are the type of things Jodie Marsh used to wear before she was a biker lesbian.

Making a Splash

Sorry to stay on a Disney track this week but do these A-Mazing Alexander McQueen shoes remind anyone else of some strange underwater world? Little Mermaid EAT - YOUR - HEART - OUT! It's no wonder she wanted legs...forget the prince. Wearing these stunners is the only reason to trade your voice for some pins.

Dancing in Wonderland

When I heard that quirky film god Tim Burton was remaking the classic Alice in Wonderland I almost fell off my chair in excitement, so imagine my sheer delight at finding these gorgeous Versace numbers were inspired by non other than...yep, you guessed it....Alice and her Wonderland. Personally I would wear these to a tea party any day!

Vic

uh huh.. ah thank you very much...

Happy birthday Elvis! and to commemorate this day Laura J London has put this beautiful blue suade shoe in the sale, reduced from £180 to an amazing £69!!!! woooop!

Okay so how could I resist? I would HAVE to go and see Pamela in the Aladdin pantomime. It wasn't a fun day out...this would be research...for the blog of course and for the intense study of THOSE shoes!

But oh the disappointment! No Pammy! No shoes! This is false advertising. I ended up watching Anita bloomin' Dobson as the genie. And let me tell you...her shoes were rubbish! It's like going to watch Sherlock Holmes because oh so dishy Robert Downey Jnr is in it and instead getting Robbie Coltrane....There's been a MURDER Watson.

I'll get over it soon! Back to the shoe research.

Vic. Oh and Happy New Year everyone.
