Oh my! I must say, most definitely not my taste. I do not fancy it, not the slightest bit; maybe a little tooo ‘fashion-forward’ for me.

Lots of lovely pieces. I think all the pieces are wearable and would translate well into any wardrobe. You don’t necessarily have to wear them the way they’ve been styled here, we all have our own personal and unique tastes. Look at the pieces in isolation. For example, I love the short blue dress and if I wore it, I’d keep the jewellery to a minimum maybe just a pair of stud earring and a cocktail ring or tennis bracelet. I’d also do away with the socks and go with open toe mary jane platforms as opposed to the wedge variety. And if I did wanna wear socks I’d wear a colour that matched the shoe. But these are photos of the collection so they (designer, stylists et al) have to up the ante and inspire us to think of new ways to wear the pieces.

1 Dollar from the WHOLESALE value, £125 is the retail price not wholesale, I’m guessing that refers to their bulk sales. Judge much? How much of your salary do you give to charity?

Clearly one can see that the Designer styled it to her own Vision. When you buy the clothes, you can wear it what ever way you want to wear it. Just like u see fashion shows and how they have styled the models, do you think anyone would go out dressed like that? well not unless they are LADY GAGA or NICKI MINAJ. so those of you that are having bad mouth and hating on someone else’s vision, why don’t you come up with your vision and let BELLANAIJA write an article about it or you keep you mouth shut and keep it moving.
Have a nice day.

I would totally wear these, i think they are very chic and wearable.. though the socks and shoes thing is a little distracting, she could have done without them. But all in all my fav are the second pic and the second to the last.
