Now-you-see-it, Now-you-don't

All eyes were on the bust for this Fall. That is, when they weren't on the legs or the midriff. Alot of them played a game of now-you-see-it, now-you-don't peekaboo.

Designers offered plenty on the Fall runways, from sex-kittenish dresses to the season's must-have topper—the biker jacket. Designers went wild for zipped toppers this season.

Its something worth investing in....

My fashion fantasy....

Big shoulders, tight minis, high boots... just some of the highlights of A/W 09. Ive picked a few key peices of the season that i would like to see in my closet.
House of Balmain was sizzling hot on the runways and Christophe Decarnin is the man behind the vision. This is my new favorite fashion visionary for the season!

London's summer is much awaited for. Step out in chiffon and comfy bright coloured pumps!!

Love Lanvin!!!
