Autumn 2010 Fashion Shoes Discovery 1

Yves Saint Laurent Asymmetric Platforms

I feel I is a bit conservative to say that YSL’s Asymmetric Platforms are beautiful in color. To put it mildly, they are Willy Wonka very tempting grape flavored eye candy. They are aggressive eye-catcher no matter on shore display shelf or being worn. Dressing in a breath-taking dynamic purple suede,  YSL’s platforms requires no extra decorations – the color already makes it stand out. And the perfect combo of a a 5 1/2″ heel and a 1 1/4″ platform ensures enough sexiness you want from YSL without bringing too much hurt to your feet.

But what kind of clothes can goes well with these brilliant Asymmetric Platforms? I think you have to spare no effort and enjoy yourself with the shoes. If you prefer a highly attractive look, a colorful wrap dress is a not bad idea. If you admire a slightly subdued look, grey wide leg wool trousers and a colorful blouse is a good solution. The YSL’s Asymmetric Platforms also have black version but they look a bit pale before the stunning purple.

Top Three Shoes on My Desire List

New Corum Golden Tube and Chinese Hat Watch

Swiss watch maker Corum recently re-issued three vintage models that had certain influence in their watch-making history in one breath. Among them, the Corum Golden Tube and Chinese Hat are obviously high-end woman’s jewelry watches, while the Round Golden Bridge Watch is a man’s watch sized at 41mm. In the mid term of 20th century, some woman’s watches were done in a can-shaped or looked like the Chinese Hat. Corum used to made such watches as well. And these unconventional woman watches were popular at that time thanks to Corum   ’s superb mastery in watch-making and gem-setting. It is their success that makes Corum re-issue new interpretations.iwc replicas

Both the new Corum Golden Tube and Chinese Hat will be made as limited edition watch. The cases are crafted from 18K rose gold or white gold and set with precious diamonds. The watch faces are either made from mother of pear or paved with diamonds. The mother of pearl dials, well,are further decorated by diamond markers. According to Corum watches, each version of the watches will be limited to just 30 pieces. The Golden Tue watch is 30mm at its widest point, while the Chinese Hat is 34mm wide. Powered by accurate Swiss quartz movements and decorated by large amount of stones, both watches look luxurious and graceful with a decent retro touch. They are matched with thin alligator straps.

Personally, I love the Golden Tube better than the Chinese Hat. I love its lovely tin can shape and the large side-mounted fuel tanks on a big rig. I just wonder how it looks on the wrist. Probably it needs a beautiful wrist to go with.

Review of Dior Christal 8 Pearl Watch

The well-known Dior Chiffre Rouge T01 watch now has a woman’s version called The Dior Christal 8 Pearl watch which sports an attractive color solution similar to the colour and lustre of the well-received top quality champagne. I can not help but assume the Dior designer had a mouth of a good champagne before designing this watch. Any way, the watch looks good.

Well, the Dior Christal 8 Pearl watch comes with a stainless steel case that is 38mm at diameter and decorated with 120 dazzling diamonds. The steel bracelet is enhanced by beautiful sapphire crystals. The watch crown is also inserted with a white sapphire crystal at the top. The dial sports attractive pearl white texture, which is part of the watch name comes from. The dial is complimented by gold hands and other gold trim.

The watch is powered by the brand’s newly-designed Calibre Dior 8 Fuseaux Horaires automatic movement which is basically a base ETA  The movement provides central hours and minutes and a small subdial that contains two moving discs. One of the discs moves on 12 hour format, while the other works on  24 hour scale. With the help of the marked city names, the subdial is able to tell the time in 8 timezones. The function is not very useful but quite interesting. Plus it contributes to a watch of good looking. According Dior, they will just produce 100 pieces of the Christal 8 Pearl watch. I guess the price of this piece must be in certain luxury level.

Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 Handbags At NYFW

Marc Jacobs brought the New York Fashion Week a gorgeous show as he always did. It seemed that he became a magic color player that night. And his show amazed everyone with various bold colors including dynamic oranges, bright reds, cotton candy pinks, rich purples and an array of neutrals. All these exceptional colors are subtly embodied into imaginative patterns that are full of 1970s feel.

Of course, the show would not be perfect if there were no some attractive arm candies. Their unconventional tones were tamed by their relatively modest sizes. For this show, Marc Jacobs prepared more small-sized purses and clutches than shoulder bags. To the unexpected ensemble, the clutch in soft red suede and leather was a nice compliment. It came to present a flair and sharp contrast and did not take anything from the slouchy dress with low slung belt.

And Marc Jacobs smartly saved the show from being over flashy by adding some accessories with understated elegance. The chic tan leather clutch is a fine example of the current colorblock trend with a fuchsia tab done in eye-catching green.

And a huge tribute to the 1970s would not be completed if lack of a dash of unapologetic gold which always wandered in mind of women. The radiant quilted purse is a perfect finishing touch to the model’s gold lamé top and those snazzy little hot pants.

In general, Marc Jacobs presented a fantastic material feast for fashion world. This collection will surely attract Marc Jacobs fans and those who love the style of MJ.

Top Three Shoes on My Desire List

You can blame women with shoe addict. No a single pair of shoes can handle all seasons, different occasions and various outfits. In another word, each pair of shoes is born for a specific purpose or occasion. Besides, it is really very hard to resist all exceptional shoes that trigger your desire after the first sight. Me, for example, have been tried very hard to subdue my shoe addict for a very long time. But I always fail. Now, there are at least 10 shoes on my desire list and I can not wait to make them my own. The following are the top three:

The Jimmy Choo’s Aliya nude pumps really make my drooling. A bit conservative though, you can deny that they are perfect for day to day life. I love the perforated detail that brings a playful touch for the shoes. And the double silver buckle right above the toe adds a sober feel , which makes it ok for work. The heels at 3-inches are quite acceptable for me – I love high heels but I can not stand long-time agonizing pain. And finally, the price ($645) is within my reach. Jimmy Choo shoes

The main reason Nicole Brudage Ankle Pumps rank the second on my desire list is that they are perfect transitional and almost seasonless shoe. With nice cut out and leather wrap, it is ideal for the whole summer. And in Fall says, a dress and skirt with tights or straight and wide leg trousers will match it perfect. The warm chest brown color is another reason I choose this pump since I find this color can compliment most of my clothes. Again the heel height(4 inches) and the price is acceptable for me.

Honestly the Alejandro Ingelmo’s ($1013) bondage-like black heeled boots are a bit more than I can afford at present. But I can not say no before its sexiness. I am really lusting over those leather criss cross straps that nicely contrast a suede backdrop. I can not imagine how sexy my feet look when put these boots on.

Piaget Jazz Party Watches

As the recognized jewelry master in watch-making industry, Piaget has presented a new Jazz Party collection that contains gorgeous timepieces suitable for party events. I believe this beauty of this watch collection will surely make all women say “oh, lalala” and easily trigger their desire to purchase. However, the whopping prices will certainly beat most of women.iwc replica watches

Watches in the Jazz Party are quite jazzy with lines that is both emotional and elegant. Here I would like to introduce two Jazz Party watches-one with black dial and curved “piano key” style diamonds, the other one with intersecting lines of diamond waves. Both are meant to present the sober side of Piano music. 100% unique, these high-end luxury timepieces are born to give a woman wearer a different feel that is not often seen on a high-society evening wear.

Jazzy Party watches are made from white gold and nicely decorated by a tons of diamonds each. Beating inside are Piaget caliber 56P quartz movements. Each piece will be made in highly limited quantity

But I do not think these Piaget Jazz Party watches are suitable for daily wear either from style or value. They are just suitable for a few jazz or party events that require ultra-formal wear. . And with  3 or 4 carats of diamonds on, they will put you in dangerous situation if you wear them all the time.
