ACNE shoes

I bought a pair of Acne shoes at NK(the oldest and biggest shopping mall in Stockholm). It was not by accident. I have kept an eye on the shoes for a long time. It was called High pocket detailed leather and suede wedge boot. So it was high, with 12 centimeters heel and 4 centi’s platform and multiple flap bellow pockets in two kinds of leather and an inner and outer wedge. Since the pocketing and and the outer shaft gives the boot quite some width, Highway has been given an inner, tight and stretchy shaft that assures stability and comfort. Wedges in rubber with leather sole. It was on sale and 50% off from the original price and cheaper than the online sale price. I tried one and it made me look even slimmer. Though it was quite high, it was very comfortable. It was made in Italy where the best shoes are made in the world I dare say. I took it without hesitation. It was still expensive but I really liked it.
Acne is a Swedish fashion brand with international fame. It was set up by a cool guy who had never had any professional education in fashion design and used to be a singer. It was started from casual style and jeans. Now it is a symbol for independent cool women with strong personality and inner power. The famous fashion online retailer ‘net-a-porter’ releases online magazine every week, the lastest one has a report on the brand and the designer. I think Swedish fashion is really cool and I like the powerful and clean style. I am so happy that I can have ACNE shoes.
With a big wardrobe, I suddenly realize that I can almost have 30 different looks in a month. Maybe a little too many, but I do think girls should have a big wardrobe. It is not wrong to spend most of your salary on fashion. When you change the looks everyday, you will always have a new and fresh mood. You can always feel the energy inside youself. Fashion is not a waste of money as many men think, it is a kind of attitude- to show your taste, your personality, your ability to establish in a society.
To those who are interested in the shoes, you can go to the web page to have a look:

New boots from Topshop

I ordered a pair of boots on the web of Topshop last Thursday night. I got the email informing me that it had been sent out on Monday. Today I got it! It was so quick this time. I expected it would last ten week days or later. The hikers boots were brown with fur on the ankle top and high heels. I tried them on, very comfortable. I will probably wear them tomorrow!

Miumiu SS 2011 stars and flowers

MiuMiu

As spring and summer shows are going on in all the fashion capitals, we have seen a lot of new trends and various styles for the next year which is bound to be exciting.
Just as last year's bird prints, this year, Miumiu were inspired by stars and flowers. In the latest show, we can see a wonderful show with so many colors and prints, as impressive, astonishing and charming as the brand is always shown.

The accessories are also part of the chic looks. We can see shining colors in handbags, slim strings wrapping the ankle around. It is not strange to see stars and flowers in shoes as they form the unity of the whole show. 

To be honest, I do like the birds' print last year better than this year's stars. I think birds' print is more fun and innovative, and cuter.

stars, strings of the shoes, and match bags

pink and black stars in shoes and pink strings

it's all black, so we need some color in accessories. Golden and black flirt...

green and black, very unique!

Jeffrey Campbell boots

Jeffrey Campbell shoes

I bought a new pair of leather boots from Nilson store yesterday. I was so excited that I could finally get the last pair, since I tried them on some days ago and liked it a lot. I was impressed by their comfortableness and cool style. I have many high heel shoes but seldom of them can keep my feet unhurt if I walk for a long time. But this pair is so comfortable when I was wearing them. I believed immediately that I could walk with them even for traveling. When I was a little hesitated by the high price without any discount, I found them gone on saturday which made me very regretful. I blamed myself that I should have been more determined if I loved something very much which was just what I needed at that time. Yesterday, I dropped by the store and found the only pair with size 37 by accident. I tried on again and confirmed my feelings towards the boots. This time I was no hesitated again. I was so happy to get them as the cashier told me it was the last pair. 

Here it is! It is super high! That's what I like very much. I always wear high heel shoes which becomes my distinct personal style in the office now. The top can be folded down a little which makes a different look.

The brand is Jeffrey Campbell which is from the USA. The signature style for this brand is probably cool and punk, maybe a little fetishism and dark glamorous. I think they are so cool and standing out. Although I am not that kind of girl, it is still cool to have some of their shoes. You can have your own style by accessorizing with these shoes. The following pictures are from the brand, too.

Derek Lam 2010Fall accessory

The great designer has started to design accessories in the recent years. Here are some of my favorite design from the new collection.

Bags

The bags are simple, but elegant and suitable for working women.

Shoes

I really love the boots! They are platform booties; they look warm and comfortable. This kind of heels has no problem in walking a long distance, I think.

Asia-American Designers wow fashion world!

American fashion awards ceremony was held at Lincoln Center in June, an event often likened to the Oscars of the fashion world. This year it was quite special, as the major awards to the best new designers of the year went to three Asia-Americans: Richard Chai for men’s wear, Jason Wu for women’s wear and Alexander Wang for accessories. 

It was the first time that all three prizes given by the Council of Fashion Designers of America were awarded to designers who are Asian-American. At the forefront of fashion stage in the US, many of the most promising new designers are of Asian descent, a group that includes Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu; Thakoon, one of the stars of the documentary “The September Issue,” about Vogue magazine; Prabal Gurung; Phillip Lim; and Derek Lam — names that are increasingly likely to represent the future of fashion. 

This group of new designers has no consistent aesthetic style among the members, unlike the avant-garde design of Japanese designers who took Paris by storm in the 1980s, such as Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo and Issey Miyake. Alexander Wang’s street style looks, Mr. Lam’s polished dresses, the colorful mash-up prints of Peter Som etc. None would care to identify their styles as “Asian-American.”

Their brands are gaining popularity in Asia and I believe that fashion will be more exciting when encountering a cross-cultural challenge.
