Looks like Ashley and Mary-Kate are spreading their design wings even more, this time collaborating on a line of footwear with mainstream mall staple, Steve Madden. The line will carry the name of one of their current projects, Elizabeth+James. So any thoughts? Will you be tottering around in some Olsen twin chaussures?

With summer here, knee length boots have been replaced with its shorter cousin, ankle boots. From Keira knightley to Sarah Jessica Parker, the ankle bootie has been teamed with short hemlines to lengthen the leg and give off that real 80’s vibe. Although many say that shoes that skim the ankle are far from flattering, these celebrities prove that a myth.

Apologies for the past few weeks of my M.I.A blog. A huge load of studying was done, and now that midterms are over, I have plenty of time to blog.
As for fashion, F/W 2008 will be bypassed this year. However, I might do a very brief re-cap sometime this week.
As for this posts topic, let's talk about Karlie Kloss.
For the past year, she has graced Teen Vogue quite regularly, and even landing a cover on the February 2008 edition alongside Chanel Iman and Ali Michaels. This season however, has truly brought the model from a young model in Teen Vogue, into the big league.
At first glance at this photo:
I immediately thought "Wow. She was MADE to walk for Calvin Klein.
Needless to say, Calvin Klein's Francisco Costa really ruined his one and only when he threw her in a really depressingly black and blue high waisted skirt and tube top outfit:
I'll resist mentioning the horrid hairstyle, but you have eyes and can see.
However, other designers really took notice of her. It's hard to believe she is only 15 years old. When I was 15, I was still watching Teletoon and Rooney was on heavy rotation on my portable CD player.
Karlie Kloss aside, if I could have either of the following dresses from Benhaz Sarafpour's f/w 2008 collection, I think my life would be complete.
Of course, taking a cue from Proenza Schouler's f/w 2008 collection, I would pair either of the two with plum tights and the following
Alexander McQueen striped pumps ($805)
And while we are at it, let's finish off the look with this gorgeous orange short trench from DKNY f/w 2008
Now THAT is an outfit suitable for f/w 2008!
For the record, as a follow-up from my last post on Reid Kastyn, she landed just one f/w 2008 runway show, with Sue Stemp.

Ugh. I am utterly sorry for the lack of posting.
In better happier news, a new year has come! I of course welcomed the year 2008 in with a bang avec friends. Perhaps I was a tad over dressed, but sometimes, that can be a good thing.
I do admit that a good 75% of the reason for my lack of posting is due to the fact that I have been in posting deadland. So, I bring you a what to wear for a winter return for school. Simply because any fashionista knows that one cannot wear the same attire that they wore in December (uh, unless that is just me). With a new year, means a brand new style change. From September to December, I was dressing with French influences, with lots of stripes, light layers, skinny legged pants (you know I prefer the title cigarette legged), and colourful flats. This season however, for the few days into January that we are, I'm seeming to be drawn to a more heavier style. When I mean heavier, of course I mean darker colours, longer sweaters, thicker layers, and boots. Brown and dark green have entranced me this January (along with my current obsession, motorcycle boots, which now have a higher leg rise), and I have ditched the navy blue and purple hues. Now that you are fully aware of my style change from last year to this year, I bring you the style guide for January back to school.

Back in September, I fell in love with a pair of rubber boots. It may sound silly, but it is true. It was raining, which usually leaves me feeling depressed when I have to be outside (the fear of getting splashed but passing cars a la Bridget Jones scares me), alas, this one time I actually was left feeling happy, and excited after I can back indoors. A girl, who shall remain nameless (partly because I never met her), wore fushia wellies (who would have thought?) and skinny jeans. Partly, I was amazed because I have never had the guts to wear rubber boots. These boots however were wellies. Instantly I promised myself to buy a pair, although in a more practical colour.
Yes, I am aware that it is November tomorrow, and yes, sooner or later snow will stay on the ground (until March's spring melts it all away). However, wouldn't allow myself to save this post for March, or even April for that matter. Remember Kate Moss circa 2005 at the Glastonbury festival? No? Well, I shall revive your memory:
Although the dress may be short, and the hip-slung belt a tad over played, does she nbelt reads "Got just ooze cool? Granted, just about everything Kate Moss does is cool (minus the loser ex, who I refuse to mention), wellies, with a dress? Kate Moss, once again I salute you.
The same week in 2005, she wore the next outfit:
Note, the belt reads "GLASTONBURY", which, another note, if you have no idea what the Glastonbury festival is, search for it on wikipedia. Jean shorts? With a vest and wellies? Would you ever think of such a thing? Of course not.
Although you are probably done with the Kate Moss at Glastonbury photos! Alas, you have one more to scroll through, this one from the 2004 edition of Glastonbury. This photo demonstrates how amazing wellies look with skinny jeans. Imagine them with pink wellies? That was the inspiration for this post.
Although I have not found a decent site selling wellies, expect to pay nor more than $70 for a good pair. As a last thought, go with solid colours. As much as you might like the striped wellies today, tomorrow when it rains and all you have left of your clean clothes is your
Rebecca Taylor Cardigan (puffed sleeves!), $300 
and your
Sass & Bide Misfit skinny jeans, $195
you won't....on second thought, I like the idea of the cardigan and bright pink and blue polka dotted wellies. Apparently, my thoughts about printed wellies are seriously wrong. However, don't wear them if you're over the age of 25. It's just not cute anymore. Stripes and polka dots? Cute. Rubber duckies and weird prints? Not cute.
