I’m having a crazy fit of a different kind, a more berry, grey chiffon and punky pizzazz moment…otherwise more well explained as a Felder Felder all in a hot fuss fit! Oh deary me huh? So its not that much of a bigger deal? Oh but it is, it is a very big deal when your lusting over something your never have knowing I will not ever own such Felder frocks is making my condition that so much worse. As I simply cannot for the life of me stop going over to their webby and creating, ‘what I’d snap up from Felder Felder if only I could’ ’sets’ (damn Polyvore I’ve been stuck on you for way too long now. Now please someone delete the site from my Google drop down list, this must be done and sorted at once…its such a great time waster though!) I very much doubt anyone out there (even the most die hard fashion lovers) cares and is really dieing to know just exactly which Felder Felder item I adore. Only this is self indulgent, non important and selfish post today, dedicated to just that; Prettyneons Felder Felder wantings ( and please don’t think for one second you have to continue reading such an, me me me topic. You don’t. Feel free to read more in depth concerning issues… but do you really need to read another the ‘world is doomed and in dark debt’ article?). Well I really should kick this whole Felder frenzy off with their chunky metal ring leather jacket which ultimately packs a Punk chic punch.Embellished to a whole new level with glorious bronze, gold and silver colored studs and large curtain style rings (this purchase would serve to be practical. Thinking about it, there may just be some crazy Christmas party’s occurring. It only takes one drunk and hyper individual who has downed way too much alcohol, “hey hey what are you doing climbing the curtains? Get down!’ and before you know it those curtains need to be popped back up. Well this is where the hoops from this leather beauty comes in handy)…Alright so I’ve noted the leather jacket, what next? I know the leather (Felder Felder defo enjoy using lashings of leather) fringe and same material panel double layered chiffon dress teamed with some Felder grey silk leggings. Perfect. Hang on this selfish extension isn’t over yet…I’m taking that damn silk and (yep) leather cropped dress with defining body hug cut and strong shoulder features pleaseeeeee? Your find such a dress amongst their autumn winter 08 collection, while your seeking out that number could you please just see if you can spot also the pretty, frilly, girly whirly goth-esque berry bundle ruffled just above the knee skirt? Cheers! Stupid me. I almost completely forgot to include that nappa harness simple white dress from Felder’s spring summer 2009 collection, I’m still thinking hard about whether I really want to try on the multi toned shades of blue dress? Pass me the nappa frock though, I need no more ponder over that Felder garment I’m going to throw on the leather jacket with that one! To keep myself all nice and warm.
I’m beginning to think my taste for the unusual is beginning to get a little out of control, I keep seeing more and more Christmas decorations being thrown up around lots of various areas. Every time I see those Christmas lights I get all amused probably more so than I should…especially when I begin pondering over the possibilities of wearing Christmas decorations either in my hair or perhaps create a necklace out of old tree baubles (I’ve got this massive box full of really tacky 70’s/ 80’s style decorations. For some reason I often see such baubles in greasy spoon cafes or take aways…urm?). In all seriousness I’ve thought long and hard about exactly how I could casually throw in some tree baubles, I’m more then desperate to experiment. Everything about baubles I adore, the colours, the patterns with some mad snowman on, the shape…Oh the shape now were talking. My favorite tree bauble is in the form of a tear drop, you know the ones? Shape is the close runner up to sequins for me…
Hence why I’m most likely to go into a fit when ever I discover a item from Ka/Pow/Wow, these designers know how to play around with scale and structure like no other person on this earth. Inspired by fruity structures…how fantastic is that? Inspired by natural structures and form of fruit and coral, brilliant just brilliant all made from recycled bits and pieces…(I feel a Ka/Pow fit coming on, foaming at the mouth. Too much detail?). Ka/Pow’s pieces are a stylists wet dream their so versatile, wear the ruffled pompoms as a hair band… or a belt…or a necklace what more can you ask for? Its pure fashion/ accessory manipulation magic! Each item has a secret surprise hidden in layers upon layers of ruffles with hundreds of little pleats twisting and a- twirling pain painstakingly hand crafted;wow indeed. These beautiful works of ruffled, frilly magic aren’t just for the festive season, though you can’t help but imagine how truly spectacular Ka/Pow/Wow’sblack and gold metallic Necklace collar would look with a simple black or dark jewel navy dress at that Christmas Party, of course. Maybe I won’t have to drown myself in Christmas tree baubles after all and risk looking like a Christmas cracker?
