BLEACHED

Bleaching of the eyebrows has been a big thing since 2009, sparked by Givenchy bringing out their renowned A/W 09 campaign -one of my favourites; featuring striking lips, dark eyes and bleached eyebrows. Now, two of my favourite blogging ladies, Josefin and Alexxsia, have decided to lose their brows. I know it's not for everyone, but I'm so happy seeing it on real women and not just super models. It definitely brings out the features, leaving the face looking bold, beautiful and striking. I haven't seen the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo yet, but Rooney Mara looks pretty smoking hot with bleached brows too; maybe this will spark a big comeback for 2012. 
I'll leave you with this insanely hilarious must read from the Daily Mail dating back to 2009, where they photoshop Daniel Radcliffe's face, leaving him looking like an evil super villain keen to seek revenge on who ever stole his eyebrows.

How I wish it was spring already! I couldn't resist posting this as it's literally the most perfect editorial I've seen in a long time. I want it all! Top of the agenda is that Givenchy shark tooth necklace, looks so good worn with loose pastels and whites.

STREET WEAR

How incredible are these boots from Givenchy pre fall? Gimme gimme gimme! The black pony/calf hair pair are my favourite. The whole collection offered an alternative to the S/S 12 collection. Those low sharky lapels; long dangling necklaces - this time a deer horn, not so keen, but there are some shark teeth in choker form which I love; the boxy envelope clutches; and the dangling bow drape blouses. Givenchy are at the top for me right now.

FOUR EYES

Recently I've been searching for an update on my specs, obviously they didn't have these in any of the opticians I've been searching in but it didn't stop me fantasising none the less. 'The Panther Collection' is from Givenchy's latest masterpiece (A/W 11) and retails at around £350 a pair.
Me likey.

The menswear this season has been exceptional so far, the trends emerging are really fresh and pushing the boundaries enough to excite, I've already heard men asking how they are going to work a pair of wide legged trousers into their wardrobe.

GIVENCHY PRE FALL 2011

 
When I first saw this collection my jaw dropped. Nicole Phelps was right in saying that pre-fall used to be a collection of basics, but not anymore. It's as if Riccardo Tisci has created another ready to wear for those of us who just can't wait until February.
The collection was shot using three of his current favourite runway models - Lea T, Saskia de Brauw, and Izabel Goulart - and shot on an actual street. I was so sure this was a set.
The colour palette is exactly what I want to be wearing this winter, as well as bringing in the camel tones and reinventing them into beiges and dusky pinks.
The layering is genius; thigh high laced boots under a chiffon maxi skirt (something I feel I will definitely have to do myself), bomber jackets and parkas layered over expensive looking ball gowns, and exposing thighs through selective layering. 
This could be my favourite Givenchy collection to date.
