Erdem

I have discovered the clothing of Erdem Moralioglu through a link posted by Danielle. She links to this article and I found his website... There is a floor length strapless black and white striped dress from the Spring/Summer 07 that actually made my heart beat a little faster... (look 4) His clothes are truly beautiful.

I managed to get all my work done this week before the weekend, so tomorrow I'm off to The Clothing Show and hunting for fabric for all the new patterns I've picked up! Also I need more tan coloured thread, I ran out while doing a blind hem (something I never did before!) and the dress I'm working on is waiting impatiently to be finished.

Shomore on shoeblog.com recently wrote about the dangerously high heels of Sping 09 collections... whist browsing Spring Runway photos I found another Dolce and Gabanna pair that are lovely, but also very high shoes:

Stella McCartney Ankle Boots and Net-A-Porter Offerings

I really love these patent ankle boots by Stella McCartney. They are sky high so some fancy footwork is required. At least they're wedges... Couldn't be thaat hard to walk in them... It always seems that shoes feel great strutting around in shops before you've bought them, but when it gets to wearing them in a real life situation... not always so comfy... These babies will set you back a cool $1395.
I've been too busy at work recently to pay a lot of attention the fashion weeks flying by, but many a blogging fashionista has got it covered... I can read all about fashion week news online at my favorite blogs. So I've gotten to scoping out the world of what is lovely on sale online. Some of my fantastique finds:

Layered Chiffon Dress by Chloe:
Marchesa Tiered Organza Gown:

Nina Ricci Layered Tunic Dress:Emilio Pucci (who also makes beautiful and colorful shoes!) Cristalle Print Silk Gown:I got to about page 3 on the 'dresses' section of Net-A-Porter. There are far, far too many beautful items to look at in one evening! I must get my beauty sleep now.

Blog Overhaul

I am attempting to give my blog the layout I want it to have right now, but it's a work in progress... I'd like to get a website going actually but that won't be for a little while, far too busy right now. Work has been keeping me on weekends and often until as late as 10:30pm on weekdays. I think the solution for me is to 'work faster' as there is just a lot of work to go around and perhaps not enough people to do the work in a reasonable timeframe. This weekend I'll be heading off to The Clothing Show, I won two free passes courtesy of Bianca at A Wee Bit Skint! So I'm looking forward to that and seeing my family at Thanksgiving. Plus my four year anniversary with Stephen is coming up soon! So there are lovely things to look forward to among the chaos that is my workload.

Lady Gaga (and more vintage)

I have discovered Lady Gaga and I adore her.Picked up her CD a couple weekends ago and listen to it non stop. Check out her amazing performance on So You Think You Can Dance here. Her official site.

A dress I found online that I am loving by Max Kopp circa 1940:The freelance job I took is about %65 done!!! Can't wait to have it completed.

Vying for Vintage

Ooh sorry for the lack of updates. Been busier than ever, even with my new job and drastically reduced commute to work! I've just purchased a bunch of patterns, I'm really wanting to get sewing! My 'spring dress' is close to being done... It has a long hemline so I guess it will be good for fall as well.

I have had a little bit of time for surfing... Here is one site I found that sells lovely vintage clothing, http://www.poshgirlvintage.com/. A dress of theirs that I adore:
