O Seasons, O Châteaux

-California Winter-

Golden state indeed. Not a sign of winters pass. 

I'm longing for cold gray days, snow in the mountains, rain?

Rain when I die

I was watching Labyrinth and strangely wanting the billowy cream top Jennifer is wearing throughout. Voila, I find this amazing silk blouse! There is a cluster of recent finds. The fake Chanel belt I need a better photo of. This incredible draped back velvet jacket and of course the blouse.

This top has the most beautiful details....

Pearl's Dream

I've been collecting pretty silk blouses lately. Light pinks & creams with slight details seem to be my focus. I love pairing them up with black skirts. My Western buckle boots from Pixie market or these amazing Stella McCartney boots look best.

The caterpillar

This taupe striped dress is my current favorite. Too bad it doesn't have a flouncy hem like the Gareth Pugh dress. I love that dress but this will do for now.

Belle

Lots of gold and black velvet in Riccardo Tisci's Givenchy Haute Couture collection. I found this jacket a few days back. Here is a little tribute to Riccardo Tisci's vision. I'm really tempted to add some gold pyramid spikes....

You need some spike embellishment...

I got these amazing leggings and lattice romper a few weeks back...

This gold sheer drape coat was today's find.

More Goliath....

Goliath needs a proper closeup photo before they get worn to death....

Meet Goliath...

That's what I named the new edition to my wardrobe. I have a huge weakness for wood/metal accessories. So when I saw the Stella McCartney fall/winter 08 collection I was enraptured. I seriously stalked these beauties everyday until they were somewhat feasible. Even then I waited for some miracle coupon to pop up and then a 20% off one arrived in my email. I new they were destined to be mine! I haven't bought brand new shoes in ages. I find amazing pairs for less then 10 dollars. So what prompted me to dish out such huge cash on these? Well I really fell in love with the design. I mean wood, metal on a sleek ankle boot wedge!!!

It kind of has a Ayami Kojima Castlevania/Amano Vampire Hunter D feel that I love.

It's not such a mainstream design that lower end brands will copy. In the end it just fits my style :)
