I'm the Little Strumpet!

I usually start off my posts with a 'Good morning', this time I'm starting it off with a 'good evening' m darlings. It's been a tough and quite frankly a very hectic month. I'll spare you the details, not because I love you (I do though, it's virtual love) but because I don't feel like remembering. So I'll go straight to the point, remember a few months ago I wrote a post about a fashion brand that I'm crazy about, called La Petite S*****? Well my little darlings, the Spring/Summer collection is out and I couldn't help but share. Why? Because the clothes are fabulous. Below are a few of my favourite items in the collection, even though I'm literally in love with every single look.

To view more of the collection click here. And since we're discussing one of my favourite brands, I thought it be appropriate I also share one of my favourite songs currently on repeat.

Must... Have... Now... (part III)

You know what's worse than waking up early on a Monday and going to work? Waking up very sick on a Monday and going to work! So yes basically I'm sick and I'm at work. No concentration what-so-ever. (I'm giving you an excuse for whatever it is I may write in this post.. Just in case..). So today's hand-picked droolable (works, no??) items are black. All black.. Loves it.

From Burberry Posrsum to Stella Mccartney, Chloe to Marc Jacobs.. everyone has their own take on the wool-blend double-breasted coat. My favourite is definitely McQ's. It's perfect.

Winter's around the corner, and I don't know about you but I do like pretty umbrellas. But this McQueen one is just divine. I think it's going to sell like peanuts, and I have a feeling it's already sold out.

Speaking of skulls, How beautiful are these Swarovski crystals and skull earrings??? I so want me a pair. Tom Binns, thank you!

Pleated skirts and kilts are big this A/W, but Pringle of Scotland funked it up a little, the zipper and leather made all the difference.

I saw this Notte by Marchesa dress at Harvey in June, the day it arrived, it was available in fuchsia and electric blue. Next day I came back to try it on, it was GONE!!!! SOLD OUT!!!!!I think same's going to happen this one. So ladies, grab it before it's too late.

What kind of fan would I be if I don't include at least one La Petite Salope dress? Just look at it. Perfection. *sigh*

This DRKDSHDW by Rick Owens is such a passe partout item. Day and night, casual and smart.. Love it.

Love these Alexander McQueen lace leggings. They make the outfit. Just wear it with a t-shirt dress and voila.

When it comes to Carven, you can't expect anything less than elegant. This body suit is flattering for almost all body types. It accentuates the shoulder and neckline and emphasizes the waist. With a high-waisted pencil skirt... Vavavoooommmmm.

This lace-sweater dress by... yes.. you guessed it.. Alex McQueen.. is just amazing. And if you see the design up close, the finishing is stunning. I thought the white part was printed.. but nope.. It's all lace. Ahh lovely..

Final piece of today's post, double-wrap skull bracelet by the Skull King's label.. AGAIN. I'm loving the collection.. Really.. Mr. Lee, you'd be ever so proud.

I'm really sick by the way, but this song is putting me in a good mood. It's so hopeful. Love it. Enjoy!

You Little Strumpet!!

Good morning! It's Friday and that means hellloooooo weekenddddddd! Not that I Have any major party-plans for the weekend, or a chance to actually sleep in.. wait.. Why am I excited??? Right! No work! woohoo! That's right people, I have weddingS this weekend.. Emphasis on the S. Oh well, hopefully good music, lots of friends, and alcohol! You know what sounds like a party to me.

Anyway, (I tend to drift away from my point, I think it's the Catcher in the Rye effect), I'm dedicating my post to one of my favourite designers Nicola Helgesen who is the genius behind La Petite S***** (previously known as La Petite Salope which means.. that's right.. The Little Strumpet) Ingenious name for a brand don't you think? Anyway, Ms. Helgesen dropped her career in visual merchandising to pursue a career in fashion, and boy am I happy she did. She's known for her corsetry, which, by the way, is extremely comfortable. When a few years back, my aunt and mom bought me an LPS dress, I thought it was original but never found the occasion to wear it until this year, and I remember getting lots and lots of complements on my dress and when I was at Fenwicks when, honest to God, the only dresses that caught my eye were in fact LPS but they were too $$ for short dresses considering I wanted a long dress. So I left with a broken heart.

Her dresses are so feminine and sexy it would make it almost impossible to be flattering, but no no! Helgesen proves otherwise. The fabrics are divine and the cuts have that vintage glam with a contemporary look; lots of drapery (which I absolutely love) and comfortable corsets, that I promise you, you feel your sexiest when you're in an LPS dress. I'm disclosing a few images of the AW2010 collection, and if you like what you see, I highly recommend you visit the site.

Song that's on repeat in my head? Hey Soul Sister - Train because there's a ukulele in it and something about that makes me feel like it's summer time. I blame it on Jason Mraz. I heart him too :).
