Fall 2011 fashion trends: Smart & Wild


Autumn/Winter 2011 catwalk season gave me a lot of inspiration for the new wardrobe. There was a number of extremely stunning trends hitting the runway.
First of all, animal print. Yeah, I`ve been waiting for this since forever. Animal print never goes out of style, but after watching all these fashion shows it appeared to me as something absolutely new. Updated, with unexpected pairings and interesting details, this print pattern on clothes and accessories reveals truly daring and wild spirit. Gucci and Hermes was on fire with their collections.
Secondly, masculine total-look. Serious yet playful, black-white-grey coloured costumes looked fantastic on slim model`s bodies. Belts, handbags and shoes can be worn to create a strong and sophisticated fashion statement. YSL seems to be an inimitable leader here.
Thirdly, colour. There`s absolutely no way for you to be dull. Your life should be a colourful thing, so don`t forget to wear a bright outfit. Dolce & Gabbana (wow, their heels with golden stars REALLY rocks!) and Thakoon are the best examples.
These trends tougether form an absolutely breathtaking image, which tends to underline just how great you are. As far as I can see, these trends will be very suitable for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2012 season, so… Hey, where`s my credit card?

The Champ is here.

I`m a very expressive person and I don`t want to hide my true character. I`m determined to show it through every single thng I do. So, what helps you  to show your personality? Of course, your personal style.
Style is not about wearing branded clothes or looking sexy. In my opinion, the most important thing is your self-confidence. I don`t want to show you what to wear or where to go, I just want to share with you my own ideas about style, which incoporates fashion, music, indoor and outdoor activities. When you are happy with the way you look and the things you do, then I can say that you have your own style.
Well, fashion is an obvious place to start. I love wearing extraordinary outfits with cute shoes. Yeah, I am not a Lady Gaga and cannot show it in my clips, but I still have a lot of opportunities to display my character. The way you look is extremely important, because it speaks itself to everyone around you about your personality. I`m sure you know that too. Looking good isn`t about the money, that`s why everyone can look gorgeous.
Yes, you can buy all the items from Style.com, but does it really make you feel fantastic? I guess not. So, what we have to do? Let`s discuss!

Knock `em dead, babe!

In University I am popular, pretty, talented, and smart. A combination not to be taken lightly.
Wherever I go, I try to do my best. Unfortunately, my best is always better than anyone else`s best, and that`s why my life turns into a living hell almost every single day. First of all, I want you to know that I`m not a person who doesn`t like to win. I like this wild feeling when nothing seems to be impossible, when you`re the number one. Actually, I didn`t come to University to go to parties or whatever. I came to be the best. Yeah, guys, being a champ is the best feeling in the world!
I honestly don`t know where that passion to victory comes from. I just want to be number one. As for me, it`s a real fun, don`t you disagree?
Well, I like geography, fashion, rock music and figure skating. Don`t ask me how it can be true! That`s what`s my life is all about.

"Oh ho ho ho! Look everyone, I got the district exam scores right here!" Tea shouted with enthusiasm in the middle of the room, waving the scores in the air like a champion would with a pennant.
The whole class swarmed over to the excited girl. "Wow! How exciting!" All the students looked over her shoulder in curiosity.
"Saks, don't you want to see how you did?"
The girl who sat at her desk with no enthusiasm on her features sighed and replied, "I don't really care."
"But Saks," Juna gasped.
"It's always the same every year. Who else will be first on the list?"
"Lars Bikk," Tea stated.
"I beg your pardon?" Temper, Saks, temper. If you go ballistic now, you'll just embarrass yourself into the thirtieth century.
"Lars Bikk, Saks. He is placed first, his score one point higher on the exam than yours."
"Give me that," I demanded, snatching the scores from Tea's clutches.
Indeed, I was placed number two on the list this year. Not number one. That`s the most impossible thing in the entire cosmos we live in! Hell itself couldn`t be worse than that! Great. Just magnificent. What else could go wrong?
It had never happened to me before and it aggravated me all day, having everyone remind me about my placement.
Since when did life get complicated like this?
"A new student. He's everything; handsome, intelligent, amazing, and PERFECT."
I gave Tea a look of annoyance. "You're kidding, right?"
Giving up was never a part of my vocabulary. Ha, I`ll show you your place, evil guy! Just don`t cry when you lose. I`m not a person to look down on!
