Lula #10

So I finally set aside some time to scan some of the magazines I've read lately (the To Read pile is still massive though...) The latest Lula is stunning, always a delight to read - and something I always do v slowly. Boaters and pastel were a massive feature in the whole issue (lucky Brits with spring upon them).

And We All Shine On
Chanel Iman does pastels and nerdy/ladylike pieces without looking saccharine. The tones look amazing on her skintone. Unfortunately I would look like a total dick in these (blonde hair + head-to-toe pastels = barbie much?).

Lady Bird
This editorial (accompanying a v interesting interview with the crazy-talented Luella Bartley) so makes me think of my little sis - she is a total cupcake fiend. I love this collection from Luella - totally delicious. Cute, ladylike, iron and just a bit messed up.

Hold On To Your Hat
Im still obsessed with boaters (thanks Marc and Lover), unfortunately with our lovely schizophrenic Auckland winters they would be a v silly option. So I shall just admire beautiful shots like these and bide my time for spring.

This Side Of The Blue

Je T'aime
Love these washed out, sun-bleached florals. I adore anything Liberty-esque - I've been thoroughly (and gratefully) overexposed to their beautiful fabrics my whole life. Merci mama.

To Be Your Friend
And this is just too pretty. Every little girls dream. Love how they have paired the usually slick and futuristic Rodarte laser cut leather leggings with sequins and tulle - super fresh take on this fab piece.

I love love love this Isabel Marant ad... Seriously coveting patchwork at the mo. Have a patchwork vest in my sewing pile - will def have to wait until mid semester break unfortunately.

The Met's Costume Institute Gala 09: Jessica Stam, Kate Bosworth, Diane Kruger & Kate Moss

I can't get over how mind blowing Jessica Stam looks in that Rodarte.. It is absolutely amazing with her colouring - fair skin and warm blonde hair. This is how its done. The Boz does Old Hollywood without an ounce of cliche. Loving the side parted hair and the black lace Stella McCartney - so elegant and just a little bit of siren and romantic gothic. 
Diane Kruger manages to look super strong even though wearing stunning, delicate white Chanel lace. And the divine Miss Moss is literally the golden girl of the night in (and with) Marc Jacobs - love the turban (had been hearing rumours about it for the past week).

Pyjama Parties

Possibly one of the cutest editorials I have ever seen. Sasha wears cream and Rodarte and gets to play with the cutest lion cub ever!! Aside from the cute factor, I love the contrasting yet complimentary textures; fur, knit, hair etc. And the beige palette. Love.

Shoe Porn: Kirkwood For Rodarte

I can't even begin to imagine the extent of the design and engineering (not to mention conceptualizing in the first place) that went into creating these insane heels by Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte. But sometimes the best things are left unexplained.

NYFW FALL 09: Rodarte

Rodarte's Fall 09 collection blew my mind - as always. They consistently manage to come up with something totally new and left of field every time - while still nodding to some of the strongest trends (sheer, asymmetry, leather). Their dresses look like handmade paper - the collection has an organic yet futuristic feel. The layered patterns and textures create such a deep, interesting look - without being busy are OTT.
 

I always love to see the close up shots, as they are where the collection does shine. I particularly love the marble fabric of the third shot.

And as always with Rodarte, the shoes are INSANE and so perfect.
