Frock Candy - 31.12.10

Best

It's almost a Nicole Richie uniform. I'm a little in love with the colour of the handbag.

Great jacket and love the shirt. Nice boots also. Casual and simple but quite elegant.

Fair to Middlin' Sure

It's very ok. Skirt is eye-catching despite it being so plain. Kind of wish the top was a slightly deeper green. Don't like the visible straps. Just ok.

Worst

It's a collection of trends we all probably have creeping in the back of our wardrobes. I'm not a fan of black and a pale wash denim. It's cheap looking. And very un-Ashley.

I want bondage to die.

I'm barely functioning.

Relaxing Christmas? pffft. Overindulgence wins everytime.

Ear Candy - 23.12.10

Taking a little blogging break over Christmas! I'll return next week at some stage with a bumper Frock Candy and a round up of the very stylish 2010.

A very merry Christmas to you and yours x

One final, final round 'cos time means nothing

Spotlight: Carine Roitfeld

From: Paris

Day Job: Former Editor of French Vogue. Left last week after ten years of incredible work. I'm going to miss her input into the magazine no end.

First copped her: Her name in French Vogue. Her style on The Sartorialist.

Style: Parisian chic. Cutting edge high fashion while retaining a beautiful simplicity.

And a little example of the legacy she is leaving behind...

Penniless with only charms

All I want for Christmas is...

Sneaky feel and a peek through the wrapping paper tells me the dress is in the bag.

Happy out :)

Oh and I am unbelievably grateful for the nomination for Irelands top fashion blogger!

A huge thank you to whoever was behind getting my name into the top 50.

You can vote here for me or any of the other very worthy 49!

Thank you to everyone who reads, comments or follows and to all those lovely people who have made me feel so welcome in the blogging world!

Heart you all!

I'm welling up.

Thank you.

Frock Candy - 17.12.10

Sorry it's a little late x

Absolutely incredible.

And... much better AG.

Oh I love this. Those structured shoes are perfect with the texture of the dress.

She's becoming my new girl crush. Absolutely breathtaking.

I'm a little bit obsessed with her. So simple it's crazy and yet I can't take my eyes off her.

She's twelve...twelve. Gorgeous.

Fair to Middlin' Sure

I like the top of the dress. I like the way it blends at the bottom. I just don't like the dress as a whole. Bad shoes too. Bad, bad choice.

She's covered up! Fair play!

Worst

I do quite like the dress but it's a bad length on her. Bad shoes. Not great hair.

Clearly, this is a Panto costume.

Ear Candy - 16.12.10

The sneachta is a-coming!

You make me spit, I don’t like my clothes anymore.

To open I'd just like to make the point that while I wouldn't wear fur myself... Perhaps if it was vintage, even then most likely no..., I do find it aesthetically pleasing. The way these designers have utilized it makes me want to wear fur. Seriously, they're that good. I'll be sticking to the faux stuff though. And that debate is for another day.

Enjoy.

Pre Fall Collections 2011

Elie Tahari

I'm a little obsessed with that black leather dress. I seriously cannot stop looking at it. I love how rigid it is at the top and then it softly turns almost seamlessly into lace, it's beautiful. Excellent collection. The fabric, colours and styling are captivating.

J Mendel

Fast becoming one of my favourite designers. There was not one look I didn't love. I really just want to touch it. The textures look amazing. The structured dresses were unexpected but accented the luxurious furs and details beautifully. And those shoes! Ah, die for them.

Hervé Léger

I am so incredibly over this look. Seriously change it up. Snoozefest.

Rag and Bone

Looking through this collection I realised why I love Rag and Bone so much. It reminds me of when I was younger and an absolute tomboy and didn't want to wear dresses or be girly. This would have been a happy compromise for me and the muv. And seeing as I'm still a bit like that, the Rag and Bone look is perfect for me. This collection is just so cool. Completely wearable and different to the rest. I want it all.

Jason Wu

Wu has got it going on. I love the strictness of it. I adore the models. I adore the mid 20th century feel to the whole thing. I absolutely adore the monochrome look. Again, the shoes here are gorgeous. The styling is fantastic too. The final dress is an absolute triumph.

Chanel

The piece de resistance.

I want to live in Karl Lagerfelds world. Just thinking about the detail, time cost and effort that went into the embellishments makes me tingle. 67 looks and every one of them is impressive. Especially the gold jacket, green trouser look in the middle of the third photo. I would wear that forever. It strikes the perfect balance between wearable and aspirational. Completely, breathtakingly stunning but not in an inaccessible way. That is the genius of Karl and the beauty of Chanel.

I've been breaking hearts for far too long

Tuesday night I'll return to you lovelies.

All these end of year assignments are slowly killing me.

Eagerly anticipating the feeling of relief at 5pm on Tuesday though.

Ahh, freedom.

Here's a little teaser.

'Cos I'm a wreck-da-head like that.

Frock Candy - 10.12.10

Best

She can do no wrong in my eyes.

I kind of wish she'd dye her hair but this is really cool.

Married life obvs suits Katy Perry. She looks stunning. Drooling over Russell a fair bit too. Nom.

Fair to Middlin' Sure

Nicole Richie has the most amazing collection of sunglasses. This is nice, but with Nicole I kind of expect to be wowed so she has an unfair disadvantage. This is all just a little bit meh.

Her make up is beautiful. And I like the velvet bow. I'm prepped for the disgust but I just think it's a little young for her. How stunning would it be if the bow was on a black velvet maxi? I would die.

Worst

She looks stunning. But, she matched her white shoes to her dress. Barf.
