Collecting Dresses

I've been collecting dresses, real and just images. Some I want to make, some I want to remake and some I just want to wear every day. What's your favourite dress shape? I have an 'hour glass figure' so I like anything that's nipped in at my natural waist. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to sew for myself. It would be so much easier if I was all straight lines but, alas, it's not to be :)

Turban!

I love the balance of a neutral beige coat with all that colour and the way the berry flows from head to toe. These gorgeous pictures are from Hanneli Mustaparta.

I've been wondering for a while why it is that turbans aren't seen more often. There was potential for them to become more mainstream with introduction of the jewel toned Prada turbans of 2007 but they didn't manage the usual runway-to-mallrat trickle down effect. Susie of Style Bubble does her own approximation here.

I only wear a scarf wrapped around my head once in a while, and never out on the town. But really, it seems the sort of thing that might do well on the street. Bad hair day? Who cares? Hack your favourite scarf and wear it as a turban. Problem solved.

Fall in Spring

3.1 Phillip Lim, Celine, Rag and Bone, Dries Van Noten, Chloé, and Stella McCartney respectively. Fall RTW 2010.

The weather has been a little too fall-esque for me this week. Makes me want hot chocolate, big coats, neutral colors and thick sweaters.

Winged Leather Jacket

Two must have coats in one day. I must be on a roll. Check out this amazing limited edition Alexander Wang leather jacket. I'm sure it would make you fly. How can the model look so sullen when she has wings?

Superhero Cape

Words cannot express how much I want this cape to wear everyday for the rest of my life.
