The beauty behind the Giambattista Valli Spring 2015 Collection

Once again, I have stumbled upon yet another jaw dropping, heads turning, mouth watering fashion designer and icon.  This happens quite often and you can read more about it in the Where would I be without Instagram post.


Giambattista Valli is a name I kept seeing go around and every time I would look at a design that caught my eye, it always happened to be by Valli.  By this time, my body was aching of curiosity, wanting to further expand what I knew about Valli.  His work was intriguing and fresh and I love his work.  Valli, yet another incredible designer to add to my list.  It seems as if my list just never ends.  That's a good thing :)




Let us begin with his Spring 2015 collection.

I noticed how he dabbled around the darker colours still lingering around mixing in with the typical bright pastel floral spring colours.  This is what really caught my eye.

Dating back to big puffy gowns, and slimming down with modern cuts and lengths, Valli  outdid his spring collection. To some extent his designs reminded me of Coco Chanel and her classic little Chanel Jacket tweed with his own take.  Valli played around with the cut and fit of his designs which were youthful and structured in a manner that was flattering and flowy.

I also noticed that while incorporation the ever so typical symbols of spring, flowers, he did so in a manner that was subdued and minimalist is a way.  He played with the colour schemes and made so that the model was a walking piece of art.  His work did not shout SPRING.  It simply floated the idea above our heads.

I applaud Valli for his effortless collection and look forward to the next.

Included in this post are simply the designs from his Spring 2015 collection that caught my eye and were over-the-top necessary to share.









    WAIT. OF COURSE I WOULD'T FORGET HIS PREVIOUS COLLECTIONS:)

Please just take a moment and marvel these beauties.  Aren't they stunning?  I have been eyeing these for quite some time now and they have ever so quickly made their way to my bucket list.  Yup.  How could they not?

#MustHaveMonday - Black Boots

Black Boots

This post is all about black boots.

Black boots are a winter must have because they are so elegant and feminine.  Although back is thought to be a very plain #Basic colour, it is so much more than that, in my opinion, if you pick accordingly.  Choosing the perfect black boot is key.

Here are a few that have caught my eye for this winter!

STUART WEITZMAN - QUILTBOOT (Exact one here)
When ever wearing an all black outfit, texture is key to each piece to chose to pair.  I absolutely love the quilt texture on these boots because they are subtle yet make a great impact on your outfit.

LOUIS VUITTON - PROVOC THIGH BOOT 
These Louis Vuitton thigh high boots are the definition of skin tight perfection.  Every gal needs a nice body hugging staple, and this is perfection.  I don't know how many times I can say perfection, but this really is perfection.  A women's curves are what people praise, but we always forget about how elegant it is to curve out our long legs.  Legs are just as beautiful as our waist.




CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN - SNAKILY 120 SPIKED LEATHER ANKLE BOOTS
OKAY... CAN WE JUST TAKE A MOMENT OF APPRECIATION FOR THIS CREATION?  Yes please Louboutin.  Thank you for bringing this into our world.  If I needed a statement shoe in my closet, this would be it.  I'll be honest, as I write this I can't stop staring at this picture.  Comment down below if you feel the same way.  Anyways, this is a definite eye catcher.  Just imagine strolling down the streets in these bad boys.  Yes... you know you want to, too :)


STEVE MADDEN - JOAN (EXACT ONE HERE)
So far, I've shown you a bunch of HELLA expensive shoes on the market.  So, here's a beautiful AND affordable pair.  What aught my attention was the gold zipper detailing.  Gold and black will forever be a statement.  If you can get your hands on this, definitely do so right now.


TABITHA SIMMONS - TINSLEY LEATHER ANKLE BOOTS 
Monochrome is the happening right now.  What perfect way to do so than in these suckers.  Heads will turn as you struct your stuff down the streets.  Even though it's just black and white, well damn that detailing because it is my everything.  I'm in love.  It's perfection, especially when paired with the right outfit.


ALAÏA - EYELET-EMBELLISHED LEATHER ANKLE BOOTS
Again, just like the Christian Louboutin boots I showed about, these are such a stunning elegant statement piece that every girl should be fortunate enough to own.  That would be the day, right ladies?


That's all for today's post!  I'll talk to you guys in my next one.  BYE!!!

XOXO, Sophia

#MustHaveMondays - Cape Coats

Hey there everyone!  So as you can tell from the title of this post #MustHaveMonday is a new series I've decided to try out.  So I guess we shall see how it goes :) Anyways, to start of this series I've decided to start it off with a winter Must Have/Essentials/Trend... whatever you wish to call it.

Capes Coats


DKNY 


Burberry



Cape coats are all fashion bloggers have been talking about this season.  To name some fashion bloggers Blaire Eadie http://atlantic-pacific.blogspot.ca and Kristina Bazan http://www.kayture.com

Definitely take some time to check out their blogs if you have not already :)

Anyways, cape coats are the perfect elegant way to stay one up from a plain ol' jacket that everyone has.  There is so much shape, structure, and elegance to how they flow and give off such a mature yet glowing effect.  And... they go with pretty much any outfit.

Comment down below what your winter must have is!

XOXO, Sophia
