CATHEDRAL WALL

Wearing: Ann Demeulemeester top, skirt and boots, ring by Dominic Jones

Wearing some new items bought from the stock sales in Antwerp this week, totally besotted with these new boots, they're so beautiful! Also picked up this beautiful white chiffon top, it has some amazing back detailing that i'll have to capture another time; and lastly this wrap skirt that caused me a bit of trouble in the wind and also got me a few stares when we accidentally stumbled upon the red light district, looking for a club, woops! 

Thank you Michael for the photos 

BARGAIN BOOTS

Wearing: Ann Demeulemeester jacket, Very Vero Moda leather jacket, Topshop laddered knit dress, Ann Demeulemeester ankle boots, Dominic Jones beetle ring.

Some more photos and camera playing after the Company Mag shoot on Thursday.

I re-discovered these gorgeous Ann D boots hiding behind my other shoes in my wardrobe, I found them at the Antwerp stock-sales a couple of years back underneath a table away from the other boots and shoes. They were only 50 euros; best buy ever.

I apologise if I spelt any of the locations wrong, I was copying the tiniest font ever! Please correct me if you see anything, I don't want to be responsible for sending keen shoppers in the wrong direction!

Unfortunately this season I can't attend as a friend booked a holiday for us all next week, which is also amazing of course. It's probably a good thing I can't go this season, my overdraft has only nearly recovered from last years!

Let me know if any of you are planning to attend and show me your goodies on your return xxx

Antwerp Stock Sales Covered

I know it has taken me over 2 months to post about my Antwerp stock sales purchases, but University has had to take priority and man has it been insane! Also, I didn't want to just photograph them on a hanger, I wanted them to be seen in motion, on the body as they're meant to be.

The jacket is my favourite purchase of all, I haven't taken it off since I got it! It drapes beautifully, as do all Demeulemeester jackets. I don't know how to describe the design, the front lapels and pocket flaps are lined and doubled, one in the wool and one in silk satin.

I could not believe my luck with these! Of course they had all the most coveted shoes and boots there; triple lace, you name it, but they were still $400+ a pop! Then I spied under the table these suede ankle boots from Fall 2006, only pair, in my size, for only $50! Seriously lucky.

White silk Ann Demelemeester tie dress, worn with thrifted black velvet trousers and Marni wooden shoes.

I will be premiering my most luxurious purchase on Christmas Day. I will give you all a clue, It's from A/W 05, a real show piece!

I only bought items from the Ann D. stock sales not only because it was the best and the cheapest, but because I was using all the rest of my savings to buy fabric for my final collection. I have the most beautiful fabrics from Dries, A.F Vandevorst, and Ann D. of course. I'm so excited to show you guys, but obviously it's all under wraps for now.
