Alexander Wang RTW Summer 2009

As you may all be aware, Fashion Designers are showing right now for Fall 2009. For the majority of us, summer can't come quick enough, so I've picked my favourite outfits from Alexander Wangs RTW Summer collection from Style.com

What I love about these outfits is how inspirational and adaptable they are for us to intepret and put into our wardrobes. Some pieces you may well have already, such as grey marl (t shirt or sweatshirt), denim, leather or sheer and they all make great casual, stylish daywear.

A pastel blazer is a timeless classic for this summer

This outfit is very inspirational, so casual chic and can be copied so easily for a daytime look.







I love the sheer top combo with the grey sweat shorts, another great idea for summer.



Another outfit which is stylish and easy to wear and my next post is an outfit post inspired by one of these looks!

Have you been inspired by any particular designers this Summer?

Sonia Rykiel-Interview

The very talented and stylish designer, Sonia Rykiel, has recently been awarded the Légion d’honneur for her 40 years of service to French fashion. She is mainly known for her love of rainbow stripes and knitwear and I'm pleased to have thrifted one of her gorgeous pieces for only £2.49 from Help The Aged charity shop last year.

Thrift Inspiration, doing it Sass & Bide Style!

It was a good day for thrifting on Saturday, as in the last shop I went in-the British Red Cross, I came across some Sass & Bide skinny jeans. With over a dozen pairs in my wardrobe already, I obviously didn't need another, but when they fit like a glove I couldn't say no for £3.99!!

Sass & Bide for Topshop jeans, £60 Topshop

Sass & Bide jeans, Net-A-Porter, £132


Sass & Bide jeans, British Red Cross Charity shop, £3.99

Neon 2009

Another big trend for Summer is neon brights. It is a very bold, vibrant look and not for the shy or faint hearted, LOL! The stunning and unique Agyness Deyn is photographed in this months Vogue UK, showing off this trend looking very gorgeous indeed-her whole take on this look is totally spot on, in my opinion.

All images are from Vogue UK (March 2009)

If you love the look, but like me, are not sure to venture in a full outfit version of neon, then go for it teamed with black as part of your look.

I picked up this vintage original 1980s Thierry Mugler body con top for only 50p last summer at the Collier Row boot sale, definitely one of my favourite finds of 2008 and an item I'll definitely be wearing a lot of this summer.

Will you be in neon this summer?
