American Museum of Natural History Dance

I usually love what Julia Restoin-Roitfeld wears and this is no exception. The Balmain mini dress is just gorgeous and the colour looks perfect on her. Though I could do without the opaque tights, the minimalist accessories and unfussy hair keep it on the right side of dramatic. Nice work

Most Wanted

I want this whole entire Balmain outfit. From the high waisted black skirt with zip detail, studded heels and gorgeous purple top with exaggerated shoulders. Isn't it lovely?

The Sartorialist - Les Tuileries, Paris

I'm not sure what I love most about this look. The unusual Josh Goot print dress in vibrant spring colours, the Balmain jacket with leather sleeve and cuff detail or the gorgeous Yves Saint Laurent Tribute boots. In the end I think it's the fact that she is wearing what is traditionally a summer frock, layered with beautiful black accessories for a eclectic and effortless winter look. I'm jealous.

My Current Obsessions

Being a university student and having an income that is extremely limited at best, my ability to fill my wardrobe with fabulous designer clothes is nothing more than a lovely Dior filled dream (hence the constant sense of heartbreak). However, due to an overactive imagination and a compulsion to read every fashion magazine that comes my way, I can still fantasize about spending the income of a small European nation on Marni platform heels and Chanel metallic totes. Therefore, below is a list of my current (unrealistic) obsessions.

1. Balmain (pictured above). From the acid wash jeans to the studded heels and the military inspired blazers, my dreams are filled with structured tailoring and all that glitters.

2. Alexander Wang. I only wish I could work the model off duty look.

3. Diane Von Furstenburg for her colourful tie-dye maxi-dresses.

and finally...

4. Christian Dior. I'm not a huge fan of the Africian inspired prints and accessories this season, but the models looks so good it's easy to forget a mere mortel would struggle to pull off the majority of the looks.
