Leila Shams Fall 2010

BAD LUCK.BLACK CATS.BROKEN MIRRORS

Do you think it's bad luck to walk under a ladder or it's good luck to find a four-leaf clover? If so, in my reckoning you may be kind of superstitious! I have a superstitious irrational habit of knocking on wood to avoid bad luck. I should try and knock it on the head, pardon the pun. 

The designer Leila Shams says her inspiration for this collection was bad luck. "I wanted to challenge the idea of superstition," she writes. "We broke a mirror to create the prints and embellishments and I can tell you so far my luck has continued to be stellar." This collection is a chance to be rebellious, vanquish those superstitions, show them who's boss by adorning the unlucky themes of clothing black cats, snakes, and smoke. 

Leila's Bad Luck collection has a lick ones lips full of glamorous, shimmery detailed owing to its sassy silhouettes, edgy prints providing a funkdafied, feminine and wearable collection. This collection's sure to spark good luck for Leila, and also her tasty SS10 collection line can be now purchased at Bunnyhug

When I'm on one of my regular blog reading forays, Bloglovin‘ has been a part of my daily jaunt. All though I'm pretty sure most of you know about this site, I recommend it for those of you who don't know of it already. I've also discovered so many new funkdafied blogs on here, and I guess for a lackadaisical hyena like me, its simpler than bookmarking all the tasty blogs to follow.

Deities With Flames Coming From Their Shoulders Horn Crowns & Suspenders

How often do we see things in life that require a double-take, a second glance, a follow-up look? The answer quite simply is probably quite often and everyday. How about the third or fourth glance to really 'look' at it, followed by an emotional perception and wide eyed gasp? Answer: Yes today with Rachel Freire's new lookbook.

New Online Boutique - Little Black Dress

No matter what a woman's age, shape or dress size and no matter what the occasion the little black dress is the sine qua non of the wardrobe.


Coco Chanel made it chic and a potent expression of women's identity and liberation 75 years ago, and today a new online boutique specializes in Little Black Dresses from some of U.K's independent designers. Making it that, just less arduous finding that perfect LBD.

Alexander Mcqueen Puma Wedge ○ Yumumu

I would like to think I could be a SMIDGE of a sophistic-at when It comes to putting one step forward & another with some tasty high heels on, but it seems that's just not included in my genetic make-up! But wedges overall for the past year have been a god send! I have discovered I am capable of walking on the shiny (slippy) glossy floors, even on a wet rainy day! 

The Alexander McQueen Puma black elevate wedges would be perfecto, for those half sport but chic moments and combine them with some white knee high socks and I'm hyena happy :) These were on sale at OAK but seem to have sold out.

YUMUMU

YU, MU, MU is mandarin for 'Rain, Wood, Wood'

YUMUMU, a fashion label based in Singapore by Yilin Lu, dresses are the staple for Yumumu's wardrobe and designs are produced in small quantities to ensure their uniqueness.Their elemental nature echoes the undated appeal of the designs. Her passion for ‘moulding, draping and sculpting garments that bring alive the peculiarities of the wearer, drawing her inspiration not from fleeting trends but shifting ideas that are often overlooked'. 

The first image above, from the collection reminds me of a delicate piece of origami.
