Pink Jeans - Two Outfits
I haven't posted a lot on this blog, but I'm going to post often. It's going to be short posts with wish lists and my opinions on all things fashion.
I'm a huge fan of Urban Outfitters and I spotted these neon pink jeans and put together two outfits.
I love the Jesus tee with matching Converse.
The tie dye tank is perfect with the ikat printed scarf.

Balenciaga vs Topshop
I spotted a dress on the Topshop website a couple of weeks ago and I thought it remindend me of Balenciaga's SS08 dresses.
It's got the same idea - they've got similiar shapes but the Topshop one is more wearable and suitable for 'real life'. The prints are different though - the dress from Balenciaga has a floral pattern but the Topshop dress has an ombre techinque. It's great to catch Balenciaga's look for less.

Look For Less
I love finding cheaper versions of designer pieces. It's just something about the feeling knowing you're getting a luxurious look for less. Of course you can never find them exactly the same, but sometimes the difference is so minor, that people don't notice the real thing from the fake.
Forever 21 have the Alice Ankle Boots (on left) for only $21.80. These are in burgundy, but they're also available in black. Then on right we have Christian Louboutin Lapono Shoe Boots from Net-A-Porter on $775. They're also available in blue. Of course you can never fake Louboutin's, because of the red sole and they have a luxurious touch. These two are not the same but they've got the same style and are similiar in many ways.
You almost can't spot the difference between the Platform Peep Toe Shoe from ASOS and Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Mary Janes. But you can spot the difference on their price tag. The ones from ASOS (also available in red) cost $57.03 and the YSL ones are $660. To name a few, Victoria Beckham, Gwen Stefani and Jennifer Lopez, have all been seen wearing the YSL pumps.
Bluefly have the Tribute Mary Janes in black suede on $528. They also have Yves Saint Laurent Ankle Strap Platform Pumps in the same style as the Tribute Mary Janes. They're also $528.

All Saints
I'm in love with the UK brand All Saints at the moment. It's a high street store with avarage prices, maybe a bit in the pricier range of high street stores, but the designs are really unique and well-thought. The shapes are a bit different, and sometimes a bit odd. That's what makes it different and so interesting.
They make the cosiest and most gorgeous knitwear. It's light and often slightly oversized, and drapes perfectly on the body. I personally think knitwear looks better when it's not skin tight. The printed t-shirts always have arty prints and are in manly shapes. It's not all oversized t-shirts and light knitwear, they also make gorgeous dresses. Their coats and leather jackets are also great.
In the use of colour, they aren't big on splashy, strong colours. They always have something black, grey and ivory. Then colours vary after seasons, like this fall they have a really light shade of pink, warm blue and green, navy and salmon. They also have a good variety of prints including stripes and plaids.
It's rock chic with romantic flair and arty prints.
