Fashions for Winter 2007

The New Year is peeking round the corner and with it come new fashions.

As always, Vogue online has PUBLISHED the list of things to come! I've scoured the Internet for the affordable, and slightly less so, followers of the rules. Oh, ok - I may have sneaked in a few extras here and there...

Here are my picks for Winter 2007;

3.1 Phillip Lim Cashmere Blend Cardigan; $525 from Net-a-Porter.com

Phillip Lim, I've noticed, has the ability to create clothes which serve well in all situations. His cashmere blend cardigan is sturdy and thick, yet intricate and cute. I admire Lim. His clothes are not the type to look at; not the type you smile and friends and boast about owning - but the type you wear to exhaustion and get complemented on.

Rainbow Heart Necklace$10 from FredFlare.com

A quirky and cute necklace that is sure to go with just about anything. Topshop recently stocked a gold version, similar in style to this.




















Twinkle Smile Face Watch;
$20 from FredFlare.com

Aside from the fact that you will never know the exact time, this watch is a sure hit. The only thing it lacks is numbers - ironic.

Alexander McQueen Full Length Velvet Gown;
$4,030 from Net-a-Porter.com

O__O If only.... McQueen's full length velvet gown is incredibly glamorous and yet simply attractive. I love the bell sleeves - a sure hit for early 2007. I usually dislike flesh-coloured fabrics with lace motifs on top, but I think I may be able to live with this, the minimal amount of square footage that it is. The deep maroon/purple colour would go well with a chunky pearl bracelet. =D






















Juniors' for Target: Smocked Strapless Dress;
$24.99 from Target.com

Target doesn't disappoint with this unusually decorative piece. I like the thick, orange tie as it is well positioned and adds a decorative touch to the otherwise repetitive aeshtetics. The colours are unusually complementary. I like it. =)
