ON THE EDGE OF GLORY

This is one of the last 'outfit of the day' pictures I had made in Tilburg. This dress is so difficult to wear, because of the 'open' mesh parts on the stomach. It can look slutty very easy, if you know what I mean. I bought this one because it was an challenge for me to combine it with something else so it's more wearable. This dress reminded me also of the collection of designer Alexander Wang. I combined this dress with one of my favorite items at the moment, the oversized blazer with printed sleeves from Forever21, as you can see on the pictures below it's more classy now. I got the dress at a store in Singapore called Depression, which only sold black and white clothing - for me as a Cruella De Vil maniac it was heaven! The blazer was also bought in Singapore, one big shopping paradise! I really want to go back, o boy I wish I had all the money on the world so I could spend it there ;-) What do you think of my 'Edge of Glory' look? xoxo

WHITE IS THE COLOR OF THE CATWALK AND THE STREETS

The color black may have made ​​a comeback on the catwalk, the color white has many international fashion designers inspired. Different shades of white, like off-white, winter white, cream white, ivory and powder colors are back this season. Not only in the summer is a popular white color on the catwalk but also in the streets, even this winter season designers have massive white outfits.

Increasingly also summer and winter items mixed, what the differences between the fashion seasons almost blurs.

Popular fashion designer Alexander Wang, creative director at fashion house Balenciaga, showed besides some black garments a lot of shades in white and textures. Eyecatcher was the men's suits and jackets for women with raised collars. The autumn/winter collection for 2012-2013 was characterized by further cut tight pants, leather skirts, asymmetrical details, transparent fabrics and knee high boots.
Sarah Burton of fashion label Alexander McQueen had an almost futuristic but elegant collection. The clothing reflected the spirit of Marie Antoinette again, but in a future time zone. Cute short dresses with embroidery and lace were processed combined with lavish fur collars and stoles, silver waist belts, striking futuristic glasses and furry boots. "The future is usually displayed as grim and cold. I wanted lightness and feel that the dresses floated "says Burton about the collection.
The French fashion house Céline went for more sporty white with a raw edge. The collection consisted of large jackets, straight trousers and high-necked sweaters in white, pink, blue, black and brown. Here and there were striking details like zippers distinctive and sporty stripes.

I love the white theme! It's so dreamy and cute in a way. Not very handy when you're Alyssa, and  get all kinds of stains on your white clothing. What do you think?
