INSPO: BROCADE

It was the month of March when I saw brocade pieces walking down the runway in city after city throughout every of four fashion weeks that my heart went boooom-booom-booom! of excitement, and now - when I'm browsing my favourite online shops planning what to buy for my perfect fall wardrobe it seems like a dream come true. I admit, there are lots of trends that are, let's say it this way, my weakness. For example glitter - give me anything shiny and I'll be blinging from happiness like a child that's given candy before dinner.

But this one's special. You do not need to be a fashionista to realize that, and you most certainly can wear it even if your level of confidence isn't the same as Anna Dello Russo's.

Brocade can be subtle - take a great brocade black coat and pair it with dark jeans, it can also be gothic - just accessorize with some fur and add a dark lipstick, and it can as well be rock and roll - leather jacket + a brocade skirt? You'll be breaking a few hearts on the way, too.

Designer pieces can be found on every site, and the prices, just like the details on the garments are pretty spicy, too. The highstreet houses don't really offer that much (try Asos, they are fierce), but I think it's only cause fall is yet to hit us. And then, the flood will come. You'll see.

Currently craving for...

The most important thing about dreams is having one

Today was a bit of a struggle, and as were the days before. I don't know how it is in the rest of the world, but here it's just so damn hot I don't have anything to wear. It's like summer's lasted for a year. And I hate summer - it just ruins all the possibilites of choosing layers and layers of clothing and boots, oh boots - I miss ya! 
So, instead of wearing some autumn/winter pieces, I can only dream about some. And in my head it kind of looks like this:

BATTLE OF WINTER WONDERLAND

classic chic (madame clean lines & signore black and white) vs. girly pretty chic (lace, fur, glitter, texture, volume, color!!!)

Round 1:
Has to go to classic chic because of a promise I made to myself to keep myself from the sparkly stuff this winter (what was I thinking???!!!)

Round 2:
Have only one word for you madame clean lines - FUR

Round 3:
Can I wear a glitter tux and still be a classic chic gal?

Round 4:
Lace is classic???!!!

Round 5:
Color + black and white works?!!

Round 6:
Ohhh the long capes, how I adore you.

Round 7:
Yeah, McQueen beats Wang. From Alex to Alex: Sorry Alex.

Round 8:
I'll just wear my undies.

Round 9:
I'm gonna mix a white cape with a snakeskin print bag. 

Round 10:
Oh. My. God.  I KNOW!!!
I'm just gonna let my inner Daphne Guinness decide for me to wear only couture!!

Round 11
Round 12
Round 13
...
(will be continued, now just enjoy the photos - see how I contrasted the classic and the "non-classic"?)

XOXO,
