A very busy Nicholas Kirkwood...

It sems like someone's been a busy boy! British shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood exhibits a selection of shoes from his recent and upcoming show collaborations at the London Fashion Week exhibition. This season Kirkwood has collaborated with none other than 7 designers including: Roksanda Ilincic, Meadham Kirchoff, Peter Pilotto, Erdem, Louise Gray, Preen (last picture) and Rodarte (first 4 pictures below):

The geometric shapes mixed with the juxtaposition of the plush leather and the cut-out are fantastic and it's great to see a change from the non-flush platform sole that he famous for. And yes, the heels are melting candle wax- Celia Loves!

My Milan and Paris dream wardrobe...

Arghhh! So, I woke up this morning with a smile on my face. I am off to Milan and Paris tomorrow! Whoo yay! Boo Yaw! It’s my second season flying out there and covering the menswear fashion shows for Buckstyle, and I am still as excited as I was last season (I seem to forget the trudging around, and non-stop work). It will be fun to get out of London, but don't be fooled. It will not be a holiday of drinking cocktails, rubbing shoulders with the fashion glitterati and partying till 4... Nope, we are not having a repeat of last season (or are we...)*cheeky smile*

BUT...it has now dawned on me, with less that 24 hours to go, what am I wearing? I am sitting here with dread at facing my actual wardrobe, but toying with reality. This is my fantasy Milan and Paris wardrobe...
