hot shoes!

Here are 6 reasons why I love Vanessa Hudgens style: she's all about aviators, gladiators, hot ankle boots, rock 'n roll tees, plaid and balenciaga. That's more than enough reasons to have her on our list of icons...

NEW KID ON THE CATWALK

Arlenis Sosa hails from the Dominican Republic. This gorgeous model is quickly becoming a recognizable face in top fashions shows and has just recently become a Victoria Secret Angel. Arlenis is also the first woman of colour to be the face of Lancome. She has accomplished all of this in such a short time and is just getting started. Watch this space.

THE COCO DUFFEL BAG BY ALEXANDER WANG

Mary-Kate Olsen

Alexander Wang's latest 'it bag' has become a must have, not only for celebrities such as Mary-Kate Olsen but also for the ordinary fashionista. The 'it bag' was sold out so quickly on e-shopping websites that we can only feel that the era of it bags is coming back. I feel as though it is only a matter of time until other celebrities get hold of this little jewel.

THE HAIR COLOUR FOR 2009: BLONDED BRUNETTE

Kim Kardashian

Halle Berry

Leona Lewis

Leighton Meester

Whitney Port

Audrina Patridge

AnnaLynne McCord

These former blondes and brunettes have all opted for a blonded brunette colour for their locks in 2009. This colour is becoming increasingly popular as it warms up ones face and it flatters so many different skin tones, whether dark or light.

KRAZY ABOUT KRUGER

Only recently did I start to find that Diane Kruger's style was really catching my eye, she's been taking risks with her style... I don't know if she just upgraded her style or changed her stylist, but I definitely like it.

GLORIA WAVAMUNNO: THE COLLECTION

I previously posted a feature on this young Ugandan designer who showed her collection during the Arise African Fashion Week. A few years ago, my sister went on holiday to Uganda with her boyfriend at the time and was introduced to Gloria, her dream was to become a fashion designer. A couple of weeks ago, my sister bumped into Gloria in a mall and she told her that she was going to be showing her collection at the Arise African Fashion Week. Gloria's dedication to fashion designing is evident when you look at her collection. I selected the above pictures as they were my favourite pieces in her collection. I loved the asymetric one piece shorts the corseted dresses. She also added feather details in some pieces and i loved the way she combined pieces that were had neutral colours with others that had brighter colours. For some of her pieces she used african fabric but still kept it modern, comfortable and wearable. I loved the contrast between the dresses that were corseted at the top combined with a lot of volume at the bottom, they had a ballerina feel to them. Oh, and how could I forget the wedding dress... amazing really.
Bravo, Gloria
