Kurt Geiger Spring/Summer 2014 preview

Hello!

For Kurt Geiger, spring/summer 2014 is a celebration of its signature spike heel; toasted with luxury leather bags and fantastic flats.

Whichever trend you embrace next s/s Kurt Geiger has a shoe to match your style. Not to mention the bags, which are a particular leap forward from the classic clutch-with-shoulder-strap we’re used to from Kurt Geiger. Next season the brand is offering totes, bucket bags and smart organiser bags… which I read the other day as ‘career bags’… a great description for the bag-I’d-use-at-the-office-bag…

Here are the stand out pieces (imho) from the Kurt Geiger S/S’14 preview showRed patent spike heel Kurt Geiger S/S14 shoe

Next spring will be the first season sine becoming a Kurt Geiger fan that I think the flats will run home with the ‘most-coveted’ prize.

Alice Dellal & Chanel Boy Bags

Hello!

Happy Friday, I do love a 4 day week…

To take me into the weekend, I’m channelling the latest Chanel ads featuring Alice Dellal. (The only person who really still gets away with having her head shaved at the temple) I love the way the shaved part of her head is decorated on the second image along with that large black bow in her ponytail.

In admiring the style of Alice Dellal and her taste in music, I think she’s a perfect fit for the paired-down chic of the Chanel Boy Bag collection.

One thing about this ad campaign, snapped by Karl Lagerfeld, is that with possible exception of the loose knit white skirt, (image 4) you could pretty much see Alice Dellal wearing all of this stuff. Unlike the cute, Tiara-wearing Lily Allen in the Coco Coccoon ad campaign, the look of these ads; the baroque-style luxurious (hotel?) room, the perfect make-up and pretty hair styling, the heels, are all juxtaposed perfectly with Dellal’s bad-ass personal style. 

The Bags…

Yours,
