Denim Mini Skirt- Still Hot?

There are many different types of fashion that come and go throughout the seasons, but the denim mini skirt is one item of clothing that seems to have stood the test of time.

So how do you wear your denim mini skirt?

Team it with sexy high heels and colourful tights for an edgy, on-trend lo0k. In Winter, you can still get away with wearing your denim mini skirt – just throw on a casual jumper and a waist belt, plus thicker tights and winter boots for a really striking look.

why are designer clothes so expensive?

Designer clothes are so expensive because, simply, they can afford to be! There is a an air of exclusivity when you buy designer clothes, and the more expensive, often the more limited edition they are. I see them as a worthwhile investment if you can afford to splash the cash…

Designer Scarves – The Love of Louis!

Okay,so i am still loving the Louis Vuitton leopard print scarf by Stephen Sprouse…i actually went into a Louis Vuitton store the other day and touched it! It felt amazing – the cashmere and silk mix was so luxurious. Yep, so i STILL haven’t bought one yet, but i’m working on it!

Vivienne Westwood – Tartan Fashion

When it comes to tartan fashion, one designer that has featured this check frequently is Vivienne Westwood. This designer knows just how to create the perfect look out of something rather un-sexy.

Tartan has never been particularly appealing to me, but i can totally appreciate Westwood’s desings and the ability to work tartan into something stylish, unusual and magical.

All credit Vivienne!

So, i mentioned earlier on in my blog about how purple was going to be hot in 2008 and i think it is safe to say that this will continue well into 2009. It is a colour that has arrived and isnt going away anytime soon.

To prove this, all you need to do is look at some of the top fashion sites to see for yourself. All the designers have still got a focus on purple fashion and Net-A-Porter hve some great items in at the moment for the new season. I simply adore the Derek Lam  purple halter dresss pictured above…this is going to be hot this season…get it while you can! It costs £1032.55

The Best Designer Handbags: My Official View!

If you’re looking for the best designer handbags, then be sure to look at the top designers that really make you splash the cash.

For me, Chanel is a the top designer when it comes to handbags; they epitomise all that is elegant and French chic looks stunning on any lady of any age.

A close second is Gucci. Gucci bags have long been the envy of many women simply because you can tell from a mile away what brand it is and know instantly that they have spent a lot of money. We all want the best  designer handbags, so be sure to give Gucci a try.

Ive always loved the Dior Gaucho bag that came around a few seasons ago, and every celebrity worth their weight in gold had one flung on their arm. A timeless style that never dates, Dior knows how to create designs that will make any designer bag lover go weak at the knees!

E-Luxury: Bye Bye! Designer Fashion Goes Out With A Bang…

Well, i have just heard that famous online store E-Luxury is going to be closing soon…actually within the next 6 months. Most likely due to falling sales during the credit crunch, i can’t say i am taking the news lightly. This is such a great online retailer. You can buy Dior, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci and a whole host of other great designer brands. To see it go will be bad news for the luxury goods market, which looks set to suffer somewhat during this recession. However, its not all bad news because they will be focusing on a fashion magazine instead. Watch this space…

If you want to take a look at what E-Luxury has to offer, check it out now – before its too late! Designer bags galore!

Uh-Oh: Chanel Sacks Staff Due To Credit Crunch.

The luxury goods market may not be doing as well as we thought. It has been announced that haute couture’s finest Chanel has ditched 200 staff recently, due to falling sales.

Now, this has come has a real surprise to me. The rich and super-rich should be able to keep on buying what they love despite the credit crunch, but it would seem that that may not be the case anymore. Maybe everyone is tightening their belts.

Chanel is a brand associated with the elite; a designer name that epitomises the true essence of French chic. I can’t say that i imagine the company will fold during this recession, but i think this is a sign of the times and one that we should all wake up and notice off. Lets bear in mind that Chanel does not have a shop on every high street, and stand-alone shops are hard to find. Therefore, sacking 200 people all at once might be considered to be a large number in comparison to the number and locality of the stores.

Please stay afloat Chanel!

2009 Fashion: Louis Vuitton & Stephen Sprouse: The New Collection!

Well, this is exciting news. On January 15th, Louis Vuitton are going to unveil their new Stephen Sprouse collection, including bags that are going to make you totally drool!

So far, we’ve all been aware of the leopard print Stephen Sprouse scarfs that Louis Vuitton sold out of early in 2008, and so it is really great to know that Louis Vuitton are doing it all again, yet this time they are taking it a bit further.

The classic Vuitton bag styles including the Keepall, the Speedy and the Neverfull holdall are all getting the Stephen Sprouse revamp for a one-off collection. Looks like we will all have to start saving up for these ladies!

The two Sprouse design concepts are graffiti and the rose – something which will be featured in this latest Sprouse / Vuitton  collection.

I can’t tell you how excited i am about this! To check out more info, click HERE to be directed to the Vogue website, where you can find all the hottest fashion news.

News! Gucci is 2009’s hot designer…

So, the word on the street is that Gucci is going to be the name on everyone’s lips this year. I have my trusted sources telling me that the Gucci range this year is going to be streets ahead of other names, and it is definitely the designer brand to be buying.

From the clothes to the bags, Gucci is going to be everywhere in 2009. The celebrities will be dripping in the finest couture and making us mere mortals positively drool at the sight of the Gucci branding. My suggestion is to start saving now; maybe treat yourself to one of those gorgeous bags or a purse to replace the one that is looking just that little bit tired – the choice is yours, but the designer name is a given.

The best thing about Gucci is that it is perfect for so many different age groups – from the discerning lady to the young gent, Gucci is classic elegance that reflects timeless designs and quirky styling.

If you’ve always fancied indulging in a piece of couture, then why wait? Check out the new Spring / Summer 09 collection online at Gucci now.
