Burberry does rubber


My love for things rubber and shiny started when I spied this Topshop skirt when I was on Oxford Street the other day. I love it so much and I've seen loads of bloggers wearing it. But I couldn't quite justify the price tag which was just under £40. I'm on the hunt for a more purse friendly alternative and scouring ebay, asos sale etc. 
Now I've always been a fan of leather and pvc that's no secret. But I love this whole rubber trend kicked off by Burberry. The classic Burberry trench updated by rubber accents looks incredible and so luxurious. I especially love the oxblood/burgundy colour. This has filtered down to stars like Caroline Flack and Rita Ora who have been seen wearing the see through Burberry rubber skirt with heart print knickers also by Burberry. And of course I always look to Lady Gaga for outfit inspiration when fetish wear is involved. You would achieve a pretty similar look to hers with the Topshop skirt and a leather bralet, (hair in a bow, optional). 

I think a shiny patent, pvc or rubber pencil skirt is actually quite versatile. I would wear on a night out with a bralet or a light camisole and some chunky heels. But you could also wear this during the day with a big fluffy jumper tucked in and some small heeled chunky boots. Definitely need to invest in a shiny skirt! Watch this space!

Alexander Wang for Balenciaga Autumn Ready to Wear

(photos from style.com)

Alexander Wang became the creative director of Balenciaga earlier this year. I especially love these pieces from his Autumn ready to wear collection. I love all the textures especially the camo style puffy jackets which give a nod towards the military trend. I was really intrigued by the cracked concrete style tops which are a knit which has been painted. This reminded me of Maison Martin Margiela's previous work. 

I think clashing textures is going to be huge this Autumn/Winter - I'm going to be mixing leather, fur, fluffy knits, lace etc. I'm going to do a few posts on winter's trends because I've been struggling to know what to buy in this transitional period. Hopefully that will get me inspired. Can't wait for cold weather now! Summer is well and truly over.
Hope everyone's well, thanks for reading!
