{GADGET's} Camera Garçonniere

PUT A RING ON IT 

The most thrilling feature of SLR photography is the interchangeability of lenses. Albeit I've only ever purchased one certain lens because they cost a pretty penny or two. It's a pretty expensive side leisure, especially when it's one avocation out of many hobbies. Regardless, I'm a stooge for gadgets, even if the gadget in question is never put to use and toyed with. But the above gadget -The Ring Flash Adapter comes at $40 which could turn your amateur flash into a pro. The reflective circle that attaches to the front of your external flash. It requires no batteries or cords because it uses the flash you already have.  Not bad huh?

SHOES THAT COULD CUT ICE 

Sarah Burton is taking the McQueen spirit and making it her own, these shoes give me the shivers SHIVERS. 

Fur was a focus for this collection, used as an accent on shoulders, cuffs, jackets and skirts. Leather harnesses, zips and shiny metal headband are the stands out of the sublime collection.

OLIVER RUUGER

Oliver Ruuger's striking luxurious black leather, concocting porcupine like spikes on a holdall, with tasty bulbous gold studs,  the metal hardware is stitched to the leather. The leather itself is constructed of single flat patterns, and lots of little laser cut holes all of which I individually attach each stud. The briefcase is made from 2,600 studs. 

Baptized the 'Blonde Umbrella' Oliver Ruuger’s adorned studded handles complete with long blonde horse hair and black hair accompanied designer Jia Ju sharp tailored suits.

Unsurprisingly, there was too much flair and craft on display at the  London College of Fashion’s MA Graduate School , I had to hug in a few more designers that charmed my palate.

A Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment, and this exhibition was no exception. I usually don't post many menswear collection's, but I couldn't keep these to myself.

MY SILHOUETTE WINTER DAYS of 1920 to 2011

Since Spring is nearing and Winter is nearly over, I thought I'll squeeze in what kept me most warm during the rush of autumn leaves that bled away. I divulge that I have a fondness for fur coats, I every so often receive a chuckle and a laugh from my family friends, owing to them witnessing me sporadically  wearing  three various winter fur coats, maybe it's because, they know I have a penchant for black and white films and pearl beads! 

Above all though, the coat can be quite practical and warm, albeit the downside is they're heavy and weighty, and I quickly become dispirited walking long distance. My favorite aspect of this coat is that It combines two of my loves- LEATHER + 1920'S/1930'S VINTAGE with the added icing of faux fur. I think all women from time to time want to feel indulgent and grandiose and I think I'm too guilty of this, thus why I slip on a fur coat, when winter seems disparaging. - It's My Winter Treat

I normally don't couple this black Valentino leather bag with the coat, but I needed to transport my work goods.

BRITISH HUNKY-DORY

Another dose of Japanese vision and flair with the customized leather jacket by ilil , it is likely inspired by the nearing Royal Wedding. A lofty usage of printed gold 50p coins displaying Queen Elizabeth, somewhat leaving a punk England sentiment.  

Residing from the U.K and England, it's probably natural that I don't find anything England related as fascinating as other non British folk, though I have noted over the last decade, the union jack flag is favored fashionably on many products as well as many other British memorabilia. Alexander McQueen further, played a huge impact of galvanizing the trend for red, white and blue with his God Save McQueen Union Jack collection. Here are a few British inspired driblets below.

I usually prefer, keeping away from wearing any Union Jack apparel, unless the World Cup is around, though I would make the exception for Katie Eary British Bulldog Print T-Shirt LFW S11. Seen below featuring a graphic bulldog and Union Jack screen print to the front, with a gold plated metallic studding.
