Metal Head

I have always seemed to have a certain liking for all things metal! The ideas of metal dresses, metal shoes and metal bags are being coined by some exceptionally talented designers now... but I have grown up thinking of such off-beat and unconventional ideas!
(At times I do slightly regret not taking up fashion design.)
More importantly, my love for metal is here to stay! Metal accessories are a hot trend for Autumn/Winter 2011.
Go in for a metal shoulder harness, shoulder dusters or head chains. Even better? Metal dress. (Personal favourite: Paco Rabanne metal dresses <3 )

There are many options in the market! From old charm vintage pieces to new exaggerated designs. One easy style that can be found in the flea markets to the posh boutiques too!
Try Etsy and eBay for one-of-a-kind finds, Rock N' Rose for their gorgeous headchains and rings or Tiffany & Co. for their most amazing timeless pieces!

Give a new meaning to the term 'Metal head', ;)

From the 50's glamour

The glamour glasses, or rather 'cat eye' sunglasses as we know them now, were a popular style sported by glamorous Hollywood divas back in the 50's. This trend has found it's way back to the shelves of the most sought after, top-notch fashion boutiques, in a much finer, refined and rounded version.
This I feel, is a style that certain face shapes can carry off! Teamed with the right outfit, these quirky yet glamorous pairs are formula for a hit!

From the humble beginnings...

Vintage glamour, anyone?

From the 50's to now. They've come a long way, haven't they?

Marilyn Monroe wears them like no other. <3 

Alexander Wang's take on the style

Tom Ford's over-sized pair

I've heard different opinions on this style, but my personal take on it is to give it a shot! I can resist everything but experimentation. ;)

Love for all things black...

I have got to admit, I'm a bit of a fan of all things black, metal and detailed. If it's got chains hanging or attached, even better.
The other day, while I read some of the blogs on my reading list, I came across United Nude and checked out their website.
I just couldn't resist falling head over heels for the most beautiful pair of heels. Black, high heeled, chains attached all over.
Why can't I just go a bit overboard and splurge on these? Got to love the Iris Van Herpen X United Nude Black and Chains limited edition heels.
Have a look for yourself...

Ah, well! Anyone want to get me a birthday gift? The size is 40.
Anyway.. sucks to be a student!


Get your own pair!

Hervé Léger Obsessed

The Resort 2012 collection

Hervé Léger, the brand that pioneered in to the body-con look. Nothing better than a bandage dress by this amazing brand! Honestly, if there is an occasion, I don't know of a better option than a Hervé Léger. 
Oh well, maybe it's time I got a job and spent the money on the right things! 
Got to love Hervé Léger Resort 2012. 

What are you 'luxing' these days?

Recently I got a random request for this super social network which revolves around fashion. After procrastinating for a few days, I finally made an account on it, and absolutely love it! It's just my kind of way to connect with people. One can 'luxe' clothing, shoes, accessories and various styles to put together various fashion looks and share with others on the network.
Strongly recommend giving it a try!

With all metal jewellery being one of the hottest trends of Fall/Winter '11, it's a must have to accessorise all the block coloured clothes and  shoes. Cuffs, rings, neck pieces, head pieces, anklets, toe rings, and metal shoulder pads to name a few, everyone must get a bit of metal this season.
