You're Always Giving Me The Hard Shoulder

The fashion hierarchy as spoken, this autumn winter its all about giving people the hard dramatic shoulder. Balmain's Christophe Decarnin got the ball rolling last year, but now he's got step up a gear. He has titled it up at 45 degree angle . However they are many other styles to choose from some have soft, sweet curves and others jut out SO SO dramatically they look like they require scaffolding support. This is beautifully illustrated by Roksanda Ilincic above. I believe that these structural shoulders give the illusion of a teeny-tiny waist.

I for one am delighted because I have been waiting for a reason to wear shoulder pads!

Thigh High

Flicking though vogue its apparent that boots have reached a dizzy new heights. It seems that everyone's jumped on it from Prada's fishing waders to Stella's punched faux napa design.It has even trickled down to Top Shop, which are the ones that are causing me the headache. I am really undecided about this autumn trend, maybe on slender long legs that appear to go on forever they will obviously look amazing. But being 5"3 and with thick curvy thighs are worried that the flab on my thighs may hang over the boots themselves! There is NOTHING sexy about overhang! Also I can't help but think of Julia Roberts in "Pretty Women", standing on that corner... lets face it second to maybe clear heels nothing says Working Girl than thigh high boots.

You know what, maybe I'll try the thigh high socks to test the waters and see what happens after, either way I am so so undecided!!

Will keep you posted though,

Much love
