Khuong Nguyen x Louboutin

Trendland.net appears to be guiding me to some fascinating people lately. One of which is Khuong Nguyen. A brilliant talent who has done commission work for the ah-mazing Christian Louboutin. Browsing Khuong's site, it's like getting lost in a fantasy world of rich colours and surreal imagery. The AW '10 campaign has recurrent references to Alice in Wonderland, what a beautiful fairytale....

 

Khuong's Spring Summer Tour for Louboutin continues with a sleeker vision, maintaining the surrealist perspective and sharp details. See more @ Khuong Nguyen.

Perspex Obsession

Moving on from Vivienne Westwood Melissa bubblegum scented PVC shoes, I'm ready for perspex for Spring 2011.

Chloe has done a gorge version. Perspex heel and upper with suede toe cap. Contrast of textures and colours are on point. But for £425, you'd hope it was. As seen in Elle issue Feb 2011:

Alternatively, (which I think I'll go for), ASOS have done a nice interpretation but you know it's never quite as good as the real thing... "ASOS Party on Suede Peep Toe Perspex Heel Shoe", £65 features a nice solid perspex heel with a complete suede upper. The nude suede is a nice option for the tinted perspex which fades into a clear block. (Prefer to the navy and green colourways also available at asos).

After having a quick gander and google of 'perspex heel' i also came across the Topshop Unique versions for Spring 2011 which I am most definitely keeping an eye out for. Seen backstage at the shows via. handbag.com:

They look superbly delish. Ever so slightly more deadly than both Chloe and ASOS. A hell of a lot more fierce than the ASOS. I'll hold out for these.

To finish off, perhaps a touch overkill if accessorised with perspex shoes, but totally in love with the ASOS Premium perspex box clutch, £65.

Acne S/S 11

Acne's show was a luscious blend of layers of varying textures, punches of red, neutral PVC, subtle embossed details and amazing Jap-esque wedges.

As predicted, one of my fave shows of the season. xx

Browsing on facebook, I come across a link for stylepaste.com - a lovely little Danish gateway to the brands: Acne, Camilla Skovgaard, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, Gestuz, Opening Ceremony... it's looking fairly new to the e-tail scene with a store in Denmark.

Their aim? "To sell “great style” and great designs, not for the name (or price) of it, but for the talent and beauty of it".

Bravo, so far so good!

Deva and Crystal Prints

I don't know why I do it to myself, obsessively looking at beautiful things I'd love to purchase despite the £570/£255 price tag..... referring to the Christian Louboutin Deva suede fringed boots and the Alexander McQueen crystal print clutch respectively.

The suede fringed boots tick all the right boxes for my current suede obsession.....oh, i can dream on..!!



And the Alexander McQueen crystal print clutch has this lush kaleidoscope, edible (!?!) print! lush!

the love for suede continues

i saw these in a mag the other day and thought ooooOOooo!! and i see them again in my inbox and i just love them - i love the vintage look about them , like u couldve easily picked it up in a cookey lil vintage boutqiue in berlin and no-one would ever know where you found such marvellous shoes!

anyway, they are actually by office. £80, not such a cute vintage bargain price.

luscious lace up

these by Preen are lusssh!!
£80 at Topshop Boutique
