isabel marant red leather biker pants

 isabel marant's f/w '10 collection embodies rock'n roll chic with a ladylike twist to me, and I'd kill for just about any piece of it, but I have something particular for this pair of cropped red leather biker pants. just the sight of these makes me want to go dancing around, singing "twist and shout". can you blame me? you know you got me going!

oh, and this combination... now I have a real reason to believe in love.

I'm just about as fond of some of its friends aswell. which is understandable.

thanks to the € 1,595 price tag I know I'll never really get my hands on it, but now that I mentally "have" this item, I know how exactly I'd wear it.
it would go perfectly with a rebel chic look...

come on and twist a little closer now, and let me know you're mine! oh, sweet dreams...

trend alert: boots & bare legs

one trend has been catching my eye a lot lately: chunky ankle boots worn with mini dresses and short shorts over bare legs. I love how it adds a rock chic appeal to any outfit and makes legs look sky-high. while waiting for the appropriate weather, I browsed through some photos for inspiration.

ankle boots are a star item in spring/summer 2010 collections:

3.1 philip lim/ 3.1 philip lim/ balmain/ burberry

igor chapurin/ versace/ givenchy

alexa chung is one big devotee of the look. her beloved black, chunky ankle boots accentuate her chopstick-thin long legs, therefore her signature gamine appeal.

real-life blair waldorf olivia palermo is a huge fan aswell. with ankle boots, she adds some instant edge to her preppy, feminine, glitzy outfits.

alexa and olivia aren't the only celebs who recently sported ankle boots on bare legs.
my favorites are anja rubik with her rock star/goddess look, and rachel weisz; who combined her boots with a ladylike frock for an uber-cool finish.

anja rubik/ leighton meester/ kristen stewart/ taylor momsen

rachel weisz/ selena gomez/ whitney port/ nina garcia

and, as always, my favorite part: street style!

as soon as sun hits the town...

topshop s/s 2010 lookbook

topshop's spring/summer 2010 lookbook is told to "have something for everyone", and I certainly have to agree.

parisienne
polka dots, stripes, pearls... classics redefined. with its lighthearted, spontaneous and creative character, it's a beautiful adaptation of parisian chic style. my personal favorite of the bunch.

saloon
western saloon girl style with cowgirl references and lots of lace and frills.

meadow 
channeling chanel s/s 2010's rustic references with ruffles and peasant-y florals.

downtown
reminds of alexander wang, and sometimes balmain. urban, tough, edgy, minimalistic. some gorgeous harem pants involved.

see the whole lookbook here.

love.
