While I listen too pouring down rain in gloomy London, grey skies and short days take over my mood. It's worst coz it's my first day of being back from the most uplifting ski break, which by the way, was a complete overload of greeny blue skies, soaring low temps and swish snow white mountains. I had my complete chalet-chic mode on, other than the times I was clad in boyish ski gear of course. Hot tubs and personal butlers were just the right accessories.
While the post vacation lull continues, all I can think of is Paris couture week to feel better. It's funny how every time I look at a collection whether it's couture or ready to wear I excitedly know its going to trickle down to high street quickly. Inspiring and dominating couture is so obviously the best it gets. Flipping through every look is drool inviting and somewhat exhilarating.
Jean Paul is only making couture now and Karl is cropping the Chanel Blazers (waaozza!). Giambattista is ever lastingly prissy while Versace is still too sexy for my shoes. The #frows and street style were a tad more up market and couturiers lavished looks with a profusion of blooms. How I feel spring is an obvious season for flowers somehow not so much for couture though. Cropped, coverage on one side, stripes and biker blacks are so the right way to go.
This time I have hand picked the looks that will inspire my glam night out styling. Of course barring the swish gowns, whether it's going halves, all leather or tulle loving Carrie Bradshaw, I feel inspired.
