Fallen Temptation...

Are you ready for Tom Fords Fall 2012 Ready to Wear?

It's absolutely jaw dropping - do you expect anything less? Below are some of our favourite looks.

Sleek tailoring - a turtleneck and pencil skirt with incredible thigh high boots.

Crocodile leather boat neck top.  Vibrant colour clutch with a subtle metallic accent. 

No big birds here!  This coat is the perfect marigold yellow.

Wow..No words for this look!

The white gown that Gwyneth Paltrow wore to this years Oscars!

We're not sure about you...But our budget currently does not extend to buying the whole Tom Ford range!  However, we've picked up some tricks to work into our wardrobe from this Fall collection is.....

Chic black made interesting through textures - satin, leather, wool; you name it.  Hints of metallic to subtly lift your outfit and give you sparkle - a clutch, a boot tip or heel, a belt clasp or a metallic sheen to your clothes.  What makes black fab?  An uber luxe pop of colour in a fabulous coat !  Again texture is huge so mix it up and think outside the box. Sleek tailoring in chic colours and form fitting balancing out texture with feature coats etc.  This is power dressing that packs a punch....And we love it.

Lob it Off...

The Lob....Everybody's doing it!  And so will we this weekend...Chop, Chop, Chop!

We love how it frames the face, makes the eyes pop and looks good with everything!  It's less maintenance than short and long hair and very now. 

Mediating Medine...

She calls herself the Man Repeller...And perhaps Fashion Blogger Leandra Medine does exactly that with her fashion.  But we LOVE it...  

Below are some of our fave outfits as they demonstrate the principles we live by so clearly!

Instead of your usual patent stockings and shoes why not spice it up with some socks and jeans?  These leopard shoes are a killer - everyone should have a pair in their wardrobe by now!  Match it with some skinnies and a statement scarf.

Are you on board the velvet slipper trend?  We are!

Simplest things create an impact with one outstanding piece - in this case colour pop shoes.

Argh!  This outfit is such perfection.  White shirt, statement necklace, leather skater skirt and some killer stiletto boots.  !

Haha - what did we tell you?  Fashion is an attitude.  You can't think someone is an asshole when they don't take themselves too seriously.

Heather grey, a crisp white skirt and beautiful coloured necklace - amazing!

Love, love LOVE these black ballet flats - every wardrobe needs them.

We have such a weekness for metallic shoes...and paired with this oversize envelope clutch in red - it's a killer!!!

Ahh this jacket is amazing.  Smokey blue with patent neutral boots.

Tailored shorts in a gorgeous coloured silk with the ever present ballet flats!

Fashion is very mix and match - leather jacket and sheer silk skirt create instant cool (as well as comfort!)

This outfit has to be one of our favourite ever!  

This bag is fabulous!  You don't need to have 7 statement bags to achieve different looks.  Like we said fashion is very mix and match.  You could add this bag to several outfits i.e a white shirt, jeans and some ballet flats and it would instantly add edge and on trend colours or shapes to your outfit.
