Happy New Year Everyone

The Return Of The Flare Leg

It’s the time of the year when people start to look to the new year's trends and ponder about the larger direction of clothing. With questions such as are skinny jeans still in fashion becoming increasingly frequent. And the short answer is: yes, skinny jeans are still in fashion - they're going nowhere, at least in terms of trends. Spring/summer 2011 trends are all about all about flared, wide jeans and flared trousers for both men and women. Skinny jeans have become so common, such a staple in most everyone's wardrobe, that people are seeking an alternative. Forget the low waist pants were you can’t bend down or sit without plumbers crack. 1970s fashion is a major influence in the trends across 2011.
Acne have nailed the men's look as a part of their spring / summer 2011 collection, with their interpretations of men's flared jeans pictured above

Ladie rules for flared pants
• a hem that is at least as wide as your foot - the men's hem that you can see on the pictures above doesn't apply to the women's interpretation of the trend
• loose at the knee - I've already see some takes on the trend where the jeans are cut very slim down the thigh and the knee and then flare out from below the knee cap. This is a 1990s interpretation of flares and not the style that's on trend in 2011

Footwear Part 1

Every season i get new footwear. You can tell a lot about a person from what they have on their feet. To clarify a certain issue with a certain someone (Paul), I own 28 pairs of shoes/boots. No it's not an addiction. I just have shoes for every occasion. There is nothing more unattractive on a woman or a man than ugly or dirty or broken footwear, or with the same shoes every day.

While I'm on the subject i find ballerina flats for woman so ugly. Can we move on from this trend that's been over since 2006???

These are my new Filippa K boots which i got because of the lovely Emma. You have no idea how happy i was when i saw them in the warehouse.

Thank you Emma you are the best!!!

Forzza Azzurri

The World cup has been underway for a couple of days now and for the very first time the Mundial is in Africa.

The planets greatest sport and most prestigious trophy! The world is watching to see who will take home the cup. Will it be Argentina? Brazil? Spain? Will 4 time champions ( 1934, 1938 , 1982, 2006) Italy will have to ferociously defend their tittle.

North Americans don't understand footbal and don;t understand the craziness and patriotic ways of the world cup. I can only say that we might make a lot of noise and take over streets but we don't burn down public property in the process.....

I love the world cup! Its such a great event, bringing people from all over the world to compete on who will be the best at the worlds greatest sport.

Soccer god and coach for Argentina; Diego Maradona said that if his country wins he will run naked through Buenos Aires.

Good luck to the Italian boys i will be cheering on at every game!

Forza Azzurri

Margherita Missoni

Every now and then an "It" girl comes along. Let them be heiress, models or singers. In the case of Carla Bruni its all of the above and first Lady of France.
Ah Carla... I love that woman.
Margherita Missoni is living up to her famous name. The gorgeous Italian heiress to the Missoni house is a pure delight. She is currently studying theater in NYC along with being an ambassador for the Missoni house. I wish her all the luck and if she acts as good as she dress then we shall all be amazed.
