You may have noticed how creative I have been with my blogpost title (NOT) and those of you that are familiar with the FW10 Rodarte collection will know what I'm talking about...yes, the Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte shoes. I sometimes believe that I'm in heaven when I see stuff like this. Although I do find it kinda sad that his crossover collections seem to be better then his mainline collection. Regardless, he's still a genius and I ain't complaining.

I think I might prefer the full cream version, there's something very romantic about them.

Simply awesome

Knitwear at its best

I wrote about Sandra Backlund's out of this world aw09 collection a while back, but her ss10 collection is actually going into production (I know it's a bit late now but at least you'll be able to get it as soon as you see this post, rather than wait and wait some more until you eventually forget that you want this, anyway...), which is a whole new story, because now you can actually OWN these! I just love the chunky yet very architectural nature of every single piece and even though the weather in Hong Kong may not allow me to wear such things, I insist that I must own at least one piece in the collection. The problem now is which piece (I'm thinking either the one above or the second one down) and where I can get it in Hong Kong?

I suppose you get what you pay for

To this...

You gotta admit that's a huge disappointment.

Take my breath away

The breathtakingly beautiful video presentation of Gemma Slack AW10 collection.

Undies Galore

I started having a secret mini obsession with lingerie since I saw the Kate Moss for Agent Provocateur campaign, she just made it look so effortlessly sexy! I guess that's just the Moss magic though, cause to be perfectly honest, there is a fine line between being sexy or tacky when it comes to lingerie, and I think Agent Provocateur might have just crossed that tacky line (all the stuff looks so good in their campaigns but I'm always disappointed when I see them in person). But since then, I've been a tiny weeny obsessed with lingerie, and with the likes of Kiki De Montparnasse, La Perla and Andres Sarda, it's difficult not to be! Theres also Strumpet and Pink with their super high-waisted novelty knickers that I absolutely adore! How cute! I love the perfectly executed details on every single pair! They kind of remind me of little cupcakes! High waisted pants rule. Whilst checking out Kingdom of style recently, I came across this lingerie brand called Lascivious which I haven't heard of previously, just absolutely love the way it's elegant, sexy and fun at the same time. I literally want everything, and I would say the price is fairly reasonable which makes it all the better. I would actually consider wearing a lot of them on the outside, just to let the world know how proud I am of my undies.

P.S. They sell online, bonus.

If I ruled the world...

...this is how all kids would dress. After my post yesterday about cool old people, I thought I would go the opposite way and post some pics of funky kids, just imagine, these are all gonna be the future Tavi's, awesome. The girl above is too adorable to be true.

Paint your legs

Your outfit will never be boring again with a pair of handpainted Les Queues de Sardines tights by m+o design studio. I know Kniq in Hong Kong stocked their last season, hopefully they will do so again, forever and ever.

Want.

Cool old people

You're never too old to be cool.

Was checking out this blog called Advanced Style and realised that there are so many cool elderly people out there, where do they ever hang out? I wanna see them in person! I remember when I was still studying in Liverpool, there was this old lady that used to hang around town, she basically just sat in the centre of town in shades checking people out (perhaps collecting inspiration), she always wore florescent tights and the coolest jackets and sometimes floral skirts and god knows how many bags she had with her, everyone thought she was a bit funny in the head but I was always curious to see what her wardrobe would be like.
