give me VELVET

FAll 09


tfs/style.com

while some people might not like this trend, I kind of love it. the fabric would take serious skill to style it for spring, but in fall/winter it looks so right. It is heavy, luxurious and warm: perfect for cold days.

This item doesn't look so warm, but I REALLY want a velvet dress to wear.


[unfortunately] sold out dress at Urban Outfitters

I'll have to find some more velvet dresses to satisfy my craving...

THIGH HIGH

One of the most prevalent trends this fall was the thigh high boots. Designers sent models down runways with boots rising above the knee.




Gucci / Prada / Marc Jacobs / Rodarte / Emilio Pucci



Chloe / Lanvin / Louis Vuitton / Jean Paul Gaultier / Hussein Chalayan

Unfortunately, this isn't the most wearable trend for a highschooler which is disappointing because the best contender for a thigh high boot that I've found are absolutely stunning. Check out these kicks:


I love how soft the leather looks, and the contrast of the studs just where the boot would pass the knee . Highly unlikely that these will appear in my wardrobe. They are by the brand Candela, a New York City based brand available at a number of stores.

Louis Vuitton Fall09

I've been looking at the fall runway shows before the season rolls in, and I adore the Louis Vuitton show! If I put up every look I liked, it would probably end up being just about the entire show. Here are some of my favorite looks:
