Trends We Love #1

[LeLuna]

Oh, thank you! Do you know where I could find one of those in Montreal?! I really want one but we don't have them here

I got one from my mom's old closet. It's from the 60s/70s and has a big ribbon on the waist. It's very retro and girly. I love it

I always thought egglant skirts were the same as "tulip" skirts, but I'm not 100% sure...

 

[fashionista-ta]

egg-shaped rather than eggplant

 

[softgrey]

...
and yes...
egg-shaped and tulip refers to the same kind of skirt...

*just as puffball and pouf and bubble all refer to that other kind of skirt...

thanks for confirming that softgrey, I really wasn't sure

I am into customised stuff.... Like vests with sleeve cut out by hand, and with writing (done with a marker) on it....

hmm my favorite trend right now is the vintage revival trend.

we can pretty much wear anything from our mom's closets and look pretty darn chic.

i pulled out recently a couple of polka dotted dresses from a famous japanese designer (jun ashida-- who designs for the japanese royal family), a suit and dress from emanuel ungaro, vintage versace belt, chanel chain handbag (just borrowing) and a ferragamo handbag.

go search through your mom's closets!

slouchy boots
asymmetrical tops

i love big sunnies... the really massive ones! also skinny jeans, cowboy boots, ballet flats and boleros. i love anything vintage as well, especially jewellery and dresses! =D

cuffs and i'm not normally interested in jewelry (i've just never gotten into it), so this is saying a lot

 

[minamo]

^^

Really skinny dark denim jeans, 70's boots with high heels, army jackets, b/w striped shirts, big warming wool scarves in bright colors...

 

[Kimkhuu]

distressed faux leather boots in the style of doc martens.... but less "bulky"...
