One Teaspoon's waistcoated warrior
Here's a piece that's so perfect for the future warrior trend that I couldn't not give it a mention. Black leather with metal eyelets and studs, One Teaspoon's gladiator inspired Mistress Leather Vest could really be made to work in many different ways.
Rania rocks Zara Young for Spring 2010
Fashion chain Zara gets youthful and fresh for their Spring 2010 Young range. Full of grunged-up looks with printed tees, ripped denim, and leather jackets, the lookbook has some cool young looks for both boys and girls.
Rania Mordanova also models a rather perfect example of how to wear the hair bows trend without going for a big girly headband. A simply scarf tied in a bow can have a vintage charm, or an element of rock-chic depending on how you dress it.
Marloes Horst youthful for Blanco
It's easy to forget that Marloes Horst is still just shy of 21. Wholly sultry and usually cast in shoots involving some degree of nudity, it's almost weird to see just how cute and fresh-faced Marloes can look. Blanco featured her in their Spring 2010 lookbook, wearing many a young and casual outfit.
Country Road: simple luxury for Winter 2010
Australian label Country Road have really upped their game over the past few years. While sticking to what the high-street chain does best - that being luxury basics - they've also injected a higher dose of uniqueness, detail, and trendability. Their Winter 2010 offering once again perches upon that delicate line between classic and trendy. One look stands out in particular for the sporty luxe look still emerging as a major 2010 fashion trend; here it's found in nonchalant marl grey sweatpants, perfectly paired with tan leather.
Motel rocks for Spring 2010
When last I wrote about Motel, I noted that simple, sexy, body-conscious (and price conscious, too) dresses were the brand's specialty. Reinforcing the fact is Motel's Spring 2010 lookbook which has more takes on the backless, strapless, and patterned styles that are instant attention-grabbers.
H&M two-tone jeans
It might be her conspicuous peroxide blonde hair or wide-framed specs that first catch your eye, but look at the jeans again. Perhaps you're in the same boat as I am; a casual glance making them appear like skinny jeans slipped into thigh hot boots. Not so. They are in fact two-tones jeans that somewhat teeter towards the patched jeans trend.
Caulfield Preparatory: nautical, preppy
When the Spring 2010 lookbook from Caulfield Preparatory landed in my inbox, I must confess the brand was entirely new to me. Upon investigation I learnt that the label was launched just last year, and have since been distinguishing themselves by way of off-beat details and slight twists on classic styles.
Spring 2010 is heavily nautical-inspired and wonderfully casual (the pieces look like the type where you can forget about ironing - a little crumple adds to their effortless charm). Best of all are the pops of colour with bright reds, blues and yellow giving the collection a truly spring feel.
Street style: jewellery layering & exposed midriff
Here's one way to tone down an exposed midriff and keep it smart and chic. Add layerings of necklaces in heavy beads and slender silver chains, whilst keeping a high-waisted bottom half, making for a vintage inspired yet up-to-date look.
Street style: ripped and held
Can't decide between ripped stockings or exposed-suspenders (by way of the lingerie as outerwear trend)? Then why not follow Gala's lead and simply pair the two?
Lanvin pre-fall 2010 is perfectly dandy
Peruse Alber Elbaz's pre-fall 2010 collection for Lanvin and you'll notice plenty of animal prints, furs, and highly vintage-inspired looks. There's also a classic interpretation of the female dandy that's hard to go past for its three-piece tailored suit, bow blouse, and heavy charcoal scarf with fringing.
