Alexander Wang Sock Braces

Must Have Accessory Of The Month......

Alexander Wang Sock Braces

These edgy, fashion socks were seen on the Spring/ Summer 2010 Alexander Wang runway.

These socks are ribbed and come in shades of oatmeal, grey marle, black and snow white. They are worn just under the knee and expose the calf muscle with an oval cut out, supported by a piece of elastic. Calves look ever so shapely. The overall look of this collection had a strong feel of athleticism. Some garments would look right at home on the sports field.

Winter Coats

Winter Coats

Coats in shades of khaki and sand were very popular on the runway. Balmain has done an amazing military style, khaki coat. It comes complete with mesh epaulets and brass buttons and peak shoulders.

This coat is definitely on my ultimate wish list. Khaki compliments multiple skin tones and is a softer alternative to black.

Sandy desert coloured coats were all over the New York runways. Shades ranged from caramel, to a soft buttery cream. American designers tailored their coats with that classic American aesthetic, sleek, chic and slightly preppy, with a sportswear element to it. Look out for DKNY, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger.

Thigh High Boots

If you are looking for a slightly more dramatic boot this Autumn/Winter season then the thigh high boot is for you.

They have been seen on the runway in leather, suede, brocade, python and in an array of colours. The stiletto, platform heel and round toe were the most prominent styles/shapes.

These boots are not usually made for walking, more for teetering to and from restaurants and social events/occasions.

Designers to look out for include: Louboutin, Vuitton, Walter Steiger and Gucci.

What I'm Loving........

Biker Boots

Juicy Couture's Chi Chi Moto Boot is a tough, sexy, biker boot with studs and shearling. It comes in black and sandy desert. It retails for $750 AUS and is available in David Jones City, Sydney store.

Biker boots look great with distressed denim shorts and skirts, tucked into jeans, worn with leggings or leather pants.
They also add an edge to a floaty
dress.

If shopping overseas be sure to check out Bess NY. They have an excellent variety of boots with fashion forward embellishment.

Not only do biker boots work well into any wardrobe, they are comfortable too.
