[Diorling]

Mettchen, they are Nine West.
...here they are:


ninewest.com

I was about to post those. I saw them in person at Hecht's, they are really well done, almost exactly like the Mumbai, even a lipstick red patent leather, and white patent.

 

[softgrey]

softgrey, hope it works out for you! i'm sure it will, you always manage to look great in everything you wear

...
thank you so much...that is such a lovely thing to say...

aya...i feel your pain......

so -i *think* i am onto something..
i have come across a few items which have totally inspired me and are still very 'me'...
they will work with everything i already wear and love...
but put a certain spin or twist on the theme that will differentiate it from the mainstream trends...

...
oh happy happy joy joy...!!!...!!..!!...!...
inspiration has finally hit!...

woohoo!!...

I didnt want to change my style, but I will have to, since I hate trendy clothes.. One is sure..No white things for me this summer!!!

wow, isn't that a bit extreme??

i mean, i hate when things i love become super-trendy, but writing off as basic a color as white is kind of...

anyways...what i must have this season is dresses. obscene amounts of casual dresses. i love rebecca taylor for them. and eyelet, which is a perennial favorite of mine. anything floaty, chiffon-y or organza-y (which i'm seeing more of, and that's exciting...silk organza is so pretty but not all that common!). i'm basically living it up this season because next season...all this uber-pretty stuff is going away. and that makes me sad.

 

[softgrey]

i agree about rebecca taylor dreamsethereal...
i am not always a fan...
however...
her dresses are among some of the prettiest and best priced ones on the market this season imo...

I want dresses in pale grey, all sort of dresses, but they have to be very simple-minimalistic-in good quality material, colours like grey, nude, black, white are colours..

I want some pale grey ankle boots, just a siple ankle boot with a chunkyer heel, in treated grey, which looks worn..

Summer is difficult for me, i love the darkness of fall, i want to try to translate it into summer, wear white, in a suprising and not too 'cute' way.


Sharp lines. I love what Hussein did with white, his dresses are gorgeous!

I dont find it strange or extreme to write off white from my ss clothes. I don't even like to see anyone wearing anything white ...like a wedding. And when I say white I dont think beige, sand and similar colors.
This is something that might sound strange but I love black during the sumer, I think it goes great with dark skin and coral make up (cheeks). White clothes on dark skin?!.....very superficial for me. And very much expected.
Btw Softgrey I also have some ideas to make me apart again.....

I really want to make slouchy shorts all-over from grey viscose(-mix) material. And more fitted shorts all-over with more detailed, bustier top, in black viscose.

Then new black leggins and "lace" black thights.
Black thin suspenders.
Sneakers.
Long,thin golden-chain necklace.
Big sunglasses.

high-waisted miniskirt made from green velvet and with golden buttons would be a dream too.

+ what I already have: black patent leather pumps

I can't wait to get my hands on those

 

[Curious]

awwww....there's no blk left on the website...
i will have to check the store..

Softie - check again if you don't make it to the store today... I think they got new stock. More colors than last time I checked, etc. I just ordered the red patent I was going to settle for the orange patent and they got the RED! So exciting!!

Thanks ladies

To all of my fashionistas. I was recently introduced to Marquet Benai T-Shirts. Oh my goodness. Talk about the hottest t-shirts. The t-shirts are hot! One of my girlfriends told me Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Mary J Blige are all wearing these t-shirts. On that note, you know I ordered my t-shirt and I'm telling you I absolutely love it! First off the box the t-shirt comes in is so totally hot and secondly you even get a poetry card (that translated in two languages). The poetry card is so cool. You've really got to see for yourself. These t-shirts are going to be a must have staple for everyone's wardrobe. Check out the website for yourself at www.marquetbenai.com. If you're into high fashion then you're going to want to order your tshirt. Being that I'm totally in love with the first one I ordered, I'm going to order another one. Heck, I actually love them all. These are must have t-shirts.

this shirts are the ugliest thing. totally urban outfitters

 

[As You Like It]

I am wanting to make a couple of pair of slim-cut brown trousers and some drapey short-sleeved tops in warm, dusty tones. Mauve, coral, and moss green, especially.

I'm getting really into the slim-cut medium-waist trousers with straight legs. I like about 2" of ease in the legs...enough for free movement, but not enough to look baggy and bulky. The waistband comes about 2" below my bellybutton, therefore it doesn't look lumpy under normal tops, and it doesn't show my underpants if I stoop down.

I've also started to like skirts about knee length, give or take a couple of inches, and flared. Then I can wear them while I am riding my bike and I don't have to worry about my skirt getting caught on the back wheel, but it is still long enough that I am not indecent when I get to work. As the weather gets better I am inclined to wear a skirt over shorts and just ride to work that way. Then I don't have to change out in the office toilets.

As far as colors go, I wear pretty much the same colors most of the year around. I prefer brown or black for pants, except for jeans, which I don't really wear much. I can't wear them at work, so it is not especially worth my while to make or buy them much. A lot of my tops (all seasons) are orange, brown, moss-green, or different shades of red. That's what looks best with my complexion, so I don't see why I should dress by "season." A lot of the pastel traditional spring/summer colors just look nasty on me, so I don't wear them. I am very fond of the new trend of coral, however. That's one pastel color I can agree on!

Love the TShirts

Hey Mr. Thang here

First off love the translation tshirts. Love 'em. Love 'em. Love 'em. I don't know if it's an LA thang or a New York thang, but it's definitely something.

I ordered mine today. But I do have a question. When will these tshirts be sold in stores? I need to get my hands on them quicker? Oh, I also told all of my friends about the website. It's crazy cool.

And no, the tshirts are definitely not urban outfitters. So not. Thanks for letting us know about the latest in fashion. Keep us informed.

 

[mrthang]

Totally loving the Marc Jacobs

Totally loving the shoes. Gorgeous!

The Hottest TShirt

That's what I love about Fashion. Everyone has their own taste. It's wonderful.

And Fezbatik, I'm not trying to sell the tshirts. Their doing that on their own. And Cristy, I'm not convinced about the urban outfitters comparison. I don't see it. But what I do see is a tshirt I personally love. That's all.

Recently I was dealing with some personal issues and I pray a lot so that definitely helps me. However when I was told about Marquet Benai's website I went to it and liked what I saw. So I ordered the Never Give Up tshirt in Chinese. The poem that came with the tshirt truely inspired me and I read it like everyday (in addition to praying) to get me thru. And I've just been blessed with this newfound hope or encouragement if you will. So I'm just happy right now. As such, I just feel like I have to "let the world know."

Perhaps neither of you ever had to deal with some tough times (and that's good for you) but I, unfortunately, had to and to have something to inspire you in such a way when you feel like you have no one is the most beautiful thing for me.

So it's not a matter of me trying to sell the tshirts. It's just that when a person is happy they rejoice. And that's all I'm doing is rejoicing. But I appreciate your comments and I hope you guys never have to face hard times.

But I'm happy right now and yes, I will be ordering the This Is My Life tshirt next.

And to Mr. Thang - You're going to love the tshirts. And I agree, I'm loving the Marc Jacobs. I have to get me a pair to go with my hot seven jeans and Marquet Benai tshirt.

Happy shopping to all.
