High street (and a sneaky bit of catwalk)

HELLO, HELLO, HELLO MY LOVELIES =) Noww before i get on to the good stuff, few contact details
E-Mail: shrish.dublet@gmail.com

Twitter: @shrishdubz
So yeah thats if you ever need to contact me, or ask me something, because i know some of you are annoyed i don't have a comments page, i'm not good with blogspot, sorry!

NOWWW LETS GET INTO THE GOOD STUFF,
Now i know all of you are quite annoyed i don't do that much high street anymore, THIS WILL ALL CHANGE, but I just HAVE to fit in a designer collection, a new designer... DAVID KOMA. Remember this name, live by this name, love this name, worship this name.
It's early days still, but JUST LOOK at the below!
In my opinion, this is the best piece of the collection. This piece is so perfectly symmetrical, and it could be slutty if it was in different colours, but it's kept demure with the high neckline.

Casual Sophistication.

Gotta say, not a fan of this bony look, but as the first picture was so symmetrical, this is not. ITS SUCH A DRASTIC CHANGE, i LAALALLAALAAV IT! 

Ballerinaaa.

This really gives curves, this woman is not very curvy (BUT MY OH MY SHES GORGEOUS :O ) and this really gives the impression of curves.

You know the Zagliani bag I posted a few posts back? I love this, as much as this. YES THAT MUCH.. Not to sure about the suspension between the neck and post-chest, but, what can i say ;)

THE MAN HIMSELF. This is the man i will marry :'D
Now enough about the great Koma, let us move on to some HIGH STREEEEET.

So one of the big trends noww. DENIIIIMMM. Well obviously you ALL own a pair of jeans right...RIGHHTTT?! If not, be ashamed! What do you go out in, lederhosen?! So I'm assuming all of you have that trend done, to be honest I think denim and denim together looks rather naff, so I won't elaborate on thaaaat one... ;)

Smart Sportswear, so this is quite an easy one, find a few good pieces below =)
BLUSH APPLIQUE blaah - Topshop, i actually really like this, but it looks a bit pathetico  like that, but with the sleeves rolled up, and either a black bodycon skirt with the below socks, will make it look great :D
ASOS - Wear with the above, and the skirts colour plaette looks quite good with the cardie and the socks, YAY FOR CO-ORDINATION :D
PAULS BOUTIQUE - You must be thinking "WTF HOW IS THIS IN ANYWAY SPORTY." But it just reminds me of horse riding, and it could make a more developed, posh, sporty look :D Espesh with knee-high socks...BUT NOT WITH JODPHURS, you could get some comments like "Where's the horse" ;)
I'd like to tell you all the colours that are in now, so you don't wear a colour like red *shakes head*
-Neon colours
Cyberdog in Camden is a good place to get neon clothing, but its a bit dodgy, if ya know what i mean ;)
American Apparel
-White
YESSSS! You get to wear GORGEOUS THINGS like,
Topshop- Absolutely shapeless. BUT I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Sharpen with a blazer, or just wear with  black PLAIN tights (not double lace, PLEASE) and a flower hair band!
Doc Martens @ Urban Outfitters- Roughen up any outfit, but in a diff way =)
-Orange
Can't say I really like this trend tbh... :(

NOW let's move on to accessories. Kooky, quirky little pieces are wanted now, they're SO hot, all those little pieces you picked up at Camden Market because they were "cool" in year 7? Now's the time.
Junkie Lovers - This is SO Cute. Wear it with layers, and it will look fabb.

Junkie Lovers-This is GORGEOUS, anyone wanna buy it for me ? ;)

Junkie Lovers- This will quirk up any outfit, please don't team with a plain outfit though, this necklace was MADE to clash.


Junkie Lovers - HAHAHA DON'T YOU LOVE IT? But please, do NOT try to play with it ;)
All of the above are from Junkie Lovers! , really worth taking a look!
and Heidi Seeker! as well :)

Also want to say, if an outfit is looking plain, use a skinny belt, as they are SO Hot right now, just remember you heard it here first ;)

I hope this long post has satiated the insatiable, have fun reading!
I laav you all,
Shrish xxxxxxxx

Sorry for the delayy

Hey everyone :) To all of you formspringers out there, thank you for reminding me to do this, and to everyone who doesn't know, my formspring is Http://formspring.me/shrishdubz
I THINK ;) so fs me for advice, or e-mail me shrish.dublet@gmail.com
now i've got all the usual deal out the way, whereever shall we start :O LETS HAVE SOME CATWALK BAAYBEE :D
Spring RTW's are coming out already, so to brighten up these blergh days, lets have a bitta SPRING
Andrew Gn:
Theres Alexandarsson- I like this piece alot, but what I strongly dislike is how Andrew's style has changed, there are some Spanish influences on this piece. Yeah don't ask why my font just got bigger, i don't know either O.o anyway, i like the flow-ishness, and i've done some research and i believe those are Louboutin's she's wearing :O
Liu Wen ( I think!) -I put this picture up purely to demonstrate how terrible this piece is. What the hell was he thinking, i think the jacket thing is absolutely divine, but with the dress/skirt underneath?! It looks ridiculous, she looks like a refugee, this is a note to all designers, DO NOT MIX TIGHT AND LACY WITH FLOWY AND SATINY.  
THis is SO obviously Spanish. Also, if you look back on Andrew's older seasons you will realize how much his designing has changed. 
I was going to include Altuzarra and Calvin Klein, but Altuzarra is just BIZARRE (this seasons) even though he is just starting out, BLERGH. and Calvin Klein's attempt at being minimalist and using virgin, angelic colours just didn't work, as the cuts of the pieces were NOT good.
I also recommend you check out: Zero + Maria Conejo because the models look SO striking, not nice pieces, but the models :O

Imitation:
I can imagine myself wearing this, and believe you me, that is DIFFICULT to say with Catwalk fashion.  I would wear this to a summer picnic or a barbeque, wouldn't you?

This is such a simple piece, but I think that the shoulders give it dramatic effect, and since this model has quite a shapeless body, it gives some definiton to it

This is SO flirty. I really like how at first you think the woman's naked except for the lace, and then you see that its a different shade to her skin. I think any woman who wears this has a minx-y air about them. 
FAIIRRRYYY. I can imagine a fairy wearing this, and i forgot to mention, i really like the way all of them are barefoot because it adds a mystical surreal air to the whole show.
Anyway stayy tuned for high street fashion, coming soon!
Love you all<3 mwaaahh xxx

I'm baack



Hello, my lovely readers! Thank you so much, we have now passed the 1,000 view mark, and I feel all warm inside O:) I love every single one of you so much, and because I do, i've left my e-mail at the top of my blog, so if you want to talk to me personally, i'm here =) Noww, first of all we're gonna catch up on some catwalk shows, and lovely pieces!
Albino Spring 2011 RTW = i find this really interesting, first HIS NAME IS ALBINO! Secondly, reviewers say he's got some subtle twists of YSL in there, but you can only see it if you're looking for it,

Model: Linnea Regnander, I really like this piece, as the neckline is modest, but it's not bordering on Nunnish because it's a short piece. I don't think the fabric in the middle was necassary, but I understand why it is there, as otherwise it would literally just look like a Nun's outfit... cringe :S and the contrast of the shoes is nice.

Model Andie Arthur :

I like the top part of this, as it's really casual, but the gap between the top and the bottom make it more sophisticated, as  her skin tone especially, brings out the contrast between the two colours.


Model: Kori Richardson, I do like this, but i'm a bit unsure. It's quite modest, and I love the neckline's cuffing, but I just don't like the yellow fabric in the middle. I love the model's make-up though!
 Barbara Tfank = I love this collection SO SO SO MUCH, literally, when I'm an adult, my whole wardrobe will be Barbara Tfank!

Doesn't this look like a Barbie Doll? Now see, you may think, OH NOT ANOTHER BOX DRESS, but no! Look at the cutting,  the lil gappy bits at the top by her shoulder, and the way it fits like perfectly to the model's waist!
I can imagine Titania wearing this, someone contact the Globe about this?! Jokes, but ah i love this so much, and the shape is quite flattering for pear shapes, because it's like puffy at the top<3
Surprised? I was too! I would SO wear this, it's such a change from the other's! But the colours and the fabrics make it kind of ... hmm... midnightish :D I want it!
I really recommend you check out the rest of the Barbara Trfank Spring 2011 RTW collection <3

Yep, this was an incredibly short post, but you know how I roll, like to keep you coming back for more ;) And i have so much to write about just generally now, so I'll be back tomorrow, hopefully(!!) with more, i love you all, thank you for supporting me xoxoxo
