Positive Thinking Is The Key
So basically my friends have challenged me to a week of positive thinking.I am quite a cynical and sarcastic person (I wouldn't say negative though) so it's gonna be tough haha.
These all help though...
Rights I am off to see An Education now at its final showing :D
I was going to see it on Saturday but it had sold out (I ended up seeing Valentines Day which is THE WORST FILM EVER... Sorry there is no way I can keep that awful film positive) so I am beyond excited. And prepared. I have my pre booked ticket in hand!
Hope you are all having a lovely Monday.
Keep positive like I am trying to ;)

James Long: The inimatable rebel.
The collection was cohesive and immediate: you just wanted to run and steal one of the distressed black woolens, to put on immediately, his ability to manipulate yarns is second to none, except perhaps Mark fast's womenswear: but that is neither here nor there.
The palette was dark and sulky, flashes of red were littered about creating a richness to the collection that the otherwise inobtrusive palette could not have managed alone.
Details: Head bands, leather: cushioned/panelled/all over it was everywhere, oversized knits, boiler suits, biker trousers, obese courdroys, shearling, denim, distressed.
I think those words summarise the collection in it's most simplistic terms quite effectively. Again shearling was sent down the runway: this time in the shape of bags and random detailing. All denim was printed with red, all courdroy was made up of FAT channeling rather than the rather demure grooves of courdroys on offer in American Apparel.
Navy was a popular colour for this maestro of British fashion and a biker/grease monkey theme was impossible to ignore: what with the leathers and boiler suits popping up consistently.
All in all, this collection stayed true to Long's menswear vision, It was fresh, contemporary and wearable.

jackets and collarless shirts added a contemporary twist
No ones collection shouted WEALTH, quite like Tim Soars. With the addition of some of Savile Row's finiest tailors showing collections at Men's day: some of the more contemporary designers gave prestigious sartorial and infinite elegance a whirl.
Tim Soar was the most successful: leather cumber bands and rain hats, double breasted jackets and coats. Camel, caramel, black, navy and white: the palette of a gentleman, the attire of a success story.
AW 10 may just be the season of Soar. Cropped jackets and collarless shirts added a contemporary twist with the traditionalism that was flaunted in the faces of the avant-garde supporters, and there was the blue boy - he was pretty avant garde, but immaculately dressed!
Unfortuneately the camer suffered technical difficulties throughout our time backstage so the image is borrowed from Dazed Digital and the imagery talents of David Hellqist.

experts with the styling for their fiercely military show
Komakino sough help from the experts with the styling for their fiercely military show: Anders Solvsten Thomsen - previously of 'Pop' - currently with 'Love' was tirelessly making sure these dip dyed boys were immaculate, whilst the designers were scarcely seen.Ominous music, remeniscent of a scene prior to rape or murder in cinema, accompanied the boys in black down the runway.
Gothic and 90's grunge undertones added depth to the fiercely military collection: epaulettes topped off many a shoulder, intimidatingly painted doc martins gave a sturdy edge to the boys walk, and wool coats with leather panelling created a delightful contrast admidst the black.
Splashings of bleach over trousers/shirts/jackets reinforced the decade that is now officially vintage: the 90's have been courted for many seasons among the fashionistas of the real world, and it is now that the designers have smartened it up for adaption.
Head wear looked to be inspired by the war attire of medieval knights: offering up a touch of heritage which has been flounced about generously among all the fashion weeks.
Overall Komakino offered up an inoffensive interpretation of some sort of grunge army: leather knuckle dusters contrasted with carefully structured wool coats, set off nicely by nude shirts, a perfectly proportioned, expertly crafted, military creation.
Collection Set Of Trousers
And so here we have the collection that set the standard for men's day on Wednesday 24th, and what a standard. The boys reminded me of ballet dancers with their dramatically sunken eyes, prominently shaded cheek bones and slickly swept back hair.
Massey's innate talent for knits was displayed to perfection: chunky, intrusive snoods were draped around necks, and striped, forties inspired, jumpers were kepeing the boy's leather clad bottoms warm.
Leather was adored throughout, as was a delicate shade of mauve - the exact same shade that popped into JW Anderson's collection - a new shade of elegance. Wool coats were worn open, loose and long.
Trousers were cropped emphasising the detailing on the brogue ankle boots, and introducing an interesting element of femininity to the scrutinizing masses: gaping, rope like, fishnet tights: a quirky detail which complimented the sartorial masculinity of the collection beautifully.
Carolyn Massey has firmly established herself at the very tip top of modern menswear.

Details of JW Anderson Fashionably - bags, jackets and waistcoats
Back stage at JW Anderson, the team were running comfortably (or should I say fashionably) late. Effortlessly causing a tangible suspense among the neatly seated audience.The details included a whole host of picnic rugs sculpted into delectable items: bags, jackets and waistcoats were all victims of the itchy tartan look, by by God it worked well.
Sleeping mats were rolled into bags, whilst resembling their camping partner - the sleeping bag.
Studs were embellishing everything from faces to ankles, and back up to the necks. And LOOK at those JW earrings: what would you do for one of those? I would actually go camping in the highlands if that was my reward!
JW Anderson has established his name through his dramatic collections, ecclectic silhouettes and fearless flamboyancy, his interpretation of AW10 was no disapointment: perhaps punk has already been done, but the fusion of galic culture and the punk movement was genius.. it all lay in the flowers.

Fashion Sophisticated And Modern Lovely Ruffles Collection
I adore this collection by fashion line Chloe & Reese. These subtle ruffles are so sophisticated and modern. Chloe & Reese just launched a mere ten months ago but their line is already available at Henri Bendel, Anthropologie and Niemen Marcus so look out for them at your favorite stores.
Soft And Feminine Zipper Dress
I adore this dress. It has a great juxtapostion of funky (the zipper) and soft and feminine. The fabric is crumbled paper print silk charmeuse. Available $260 at Basic Boutique.
Cashmere Sweater Styles
As the weather starts to cool down I am trying to decide what I need to add to my fall wardrobe. At the top of my list is sculpted cashmere sweaters like this Cowl Neck Tie Back one.
