Pencil Skirt - a must-have for fall/winter

 Trust me darlings, this is THE skirt shape to be seen in.  This fall/winter, loads of designers introduced new and interesting ways to wear the pencil skirt.  I had stereotypical associations of secretary gear connected to this shape, but gone are the days when I was young and stupid (not).  What I find really cool, is dressing it down with a baggy T-shirt or loose shirt and wedges or lace-up boots. I succumbed to temptation too and bought a beautiful maroon one with a leather trim so expect the photos soon.

Victoria Beckham Ready-to-Wear Spring 2011

This is the collection that I've been looking forward to for ages and I was not disappointed. The pouting lady of fashion stayed true to her structured dresses that emphasizes a wasp waist (if you're blessed with one, that is) with quite a few flowing shapes. I have to admit that I was a little bit sceptical about some of the colours, the pale palette of nude pinks would look better on olive or dark skinned girls I think. My favorite piece was the draped purple silk dress with a knot on the torso, super chic! Other than that, the collection is very VB.

Wearing same shoes!

Victoria and Christina wore the same Alta Bouton Louboutin Ankle Boots.  I think whatever Victoria wears, she always looks amazing and as boring as this might sound, acts her age.  Christina's comeback, however, left me a bit sceptical. Her dirrty heyday come attached with nostalgic memories of teenage hood for me, dancing in the clubs of Cyprus without a care in the world so her new video left me a bit disappointed.  The whole bondage/naked thing is too Gaga/Rihanna and too old and boring now unfortunately just like her slashed skirt. I preferred her so much more with her Marylin Monroe-esque hair and forties outfits. Her T-shirt says "If you don't like it, fuck you".  Oh well, in that case I'm predicting loads of sexual activity happening in the world.
