halloween couture
Last week's Paris Fashion Week for SS2013 saw McQueen's Sarah Burton go all in with her inspiration coming from the bees. I am in total love with the gigantic skirts, the bee hive hat and the fish net. Not to forget the colors yellow and black with bursts of red in between with all the textures and patterns reflecting the bees, honey and celebrating a woman's curves with cinched waists and accentuated hips.
Now, it might not be a very street friendly collection, it might not even sit right with a lot of fashion critics but the theme and the timing come perfectly aligned with halloween for me to ponder over some more runway looks and a few new ideas to dress up!
here's a few picks from my favorite designers so far....
We'll definitely start with McQueen and the honey bees.
Or I could be a very sexy, uber chic witch in these Saint Laurent numbers...
Or a bird cage inspired by this beauty from Chloe...
Any new costume ideas you want to share?
Think of something new this time, something outside the box, something other than the cookie cut costumes flooding the market....have a lovely Friday people... much luv n luck... xx

But, we are not here to discuss my nails, so let's talk about the pretty ones all over instagram and blogs right now!
The most fascinating thing for me is that nail art this season is so much inspired by the runway trends...If you look at the little collage I created on polyvore (posted above) you'll see all the major trends are visible. Starting top left-going clockwise, we have Tribal/Ikat/Aztec, Vintage/Pastels, Floral/ Motifs/Tattoo, Black'n'White/ Florals/Monotones/Greys, Shimmer/Sequins, Neon/Galactic/Swirls, Big-Bold and Colorful Florals.
Now, all of these above mentioned trends are doing big rounds across the streets, on the runways and the high end circles-to-the fret parties this summer. If you pick any of your favorite nail art/ design you can actually work a whole outfit around it, or do it the other way round.
You can also match your nails to your accessories and keep a simple solid or the forever-in-trend all white look in clothes.
Just remember do not overdo all the patterns and prints together, although you can go ahead and try to mix patterns and prints (or mix checks/ stripes with bold florals). Another look you should try it mixing bold graphic prints with textured solids, this style will look good also when done with neon color scheme.
Happy Summer EveryOne!
And hang in there....it's almost weekend now :P xoxo
P.S. I just realized today, how many pretty shades of nail enamel I had thrown in the junk or simply given away, while packing to move out of South Africa. :( There just WASN'T enough space!!! I did a horrible fashion SIN... now I'm missing them all, especially a particular shimmery/ glittery rock-star nail enamel.
