AWear Launch A/W ‘10 Collection www.wow.ie

If you are following us on twitter you’ll know I was lucky enough to have a sneaky peek at this collection last week and let’s just say I was very impressed. Working girl meets 60’s is how to best describe the collection with some pieces looking more high end than high street – yay! They’ve also a great range of maxi dresses and skirts for anyone on the hunt plus aviator style jackets and faux fur. Personally, it was their dresses that made me swoon which were also very versatile.

Socks,Socks, Socks!!! www.nickysragtales.com

There is only one rule in fashion it is that every fashion rule at some point is made to be broken. This Autumn/Winter it’s the wearing of socks. What has, up to now been considered a total faux pas is now de rigeur. It’s open season for socks. Worn with open shoes, over tights, over other socks and with slim trousers tucked into socks. Seen on the catwalks of designers Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Celine & Alexander Wang to name a few. Worn short, knee high, over the knee and thigh high.

Cheap Chanel Khakis www.beaut.ie

There were murmurings in the beauty world during the last couple of months about a very hush hush new coterie of nail colours from Chanel. Peter Philips, it was widely rumoured, was busy at work developing a limited edition trio especially for Fashion’s Night Out. Tentatively dubbed “the camouflage collection” while in development, the Chanel FNO threesome were ultimately named Les Khakis, and now they’re causing the usual furore that we’ve come to associate with Chanel nail polish launches.
