It doesn't matter how expensive they are, of ir their sold at saks fifth avenue. Just tell us what you like and lets talk about fashion.I love premier designer accessories, and i'm into and fond of high end women's fashion, like Thakoon & Doo.ri & Devi Kroell, my absolute favourite designer(S) of all time will always be Costello Tagliapietra...gorgeous. I sort of have this thing for italian fashion, prada, blahnik, jimmy choo, and I am a fan of french fashion house CHANEL. My favourite fashion pieces are jewelry, shoes, & perfume. Of course I can't afford any of that yet, but it is a sure part of my fashion/style identity. ------------------

I have no interest in fashion at all.....sorry....Most of my clothes come from charity shops...I like velvet and satin and the shades burgundy and black... Long flowing dresses and pants... Ive little or no knowledge of designer labels....oh woe is me  I do love the feel of things (moon in taurus) rather than the look.....although I love soft and silky looking fabrics... Love the way this woman dresses....  IP: Logged |

I love fashion. My style? Young urban sexy - sometimes sporty urban subtly sexy
Then there are those days that I just look scruffy. I call it European peasant chic  I love Cavalli and Versace. Dolce & Gabbana - anything that’s basically sexy and girly. Matthew Williamson… Very mainstream and hardly unique but whatever…I’m faithful to them. I love Knightsbridge. Since these are budget destroyers I also love Miss Sixty, H&M, Mango - Topshot is SO over rated, I hardly shop there. I was in Japan and fell in love with moussy - ughhh so sexy, I bought so many things
Don’t think they have it here in the uk. Japan is so great for fashion http://www.moussy.ne.jp/english/index.html ------------------

I am kind of into fashion(but not like everyone else). If I ever get married a dress by Vera Wang might be cool. A couple years ago I had a long coat that was pretty expense by Betsy Johnson. This mourning I went to the mall and shopped at Victoria Secrets, they were having a sell and were giving away a free supermodel totes with goodies inside, I love free gifts!!!!------------------

Oh ok. I was actually referring to what's "in" right now when I said mainstream. I didn't actually read your post when I first posted. Sorry about that. 
And yes, Japanese fashion is slowly taking over. Muahahahahaha ('I think I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese').

Yes all very nice. heres another something I like
Jovovich Hawk: http://www.jovovich-hawk.com/ I like here too www.delias.com AQUA INFERNO, you'll love this, and their jewelry is fantastic, i've been getting their catalogs for a few years now: www.thegoldenbear.com LChoice7...you might like www.verabradley.com check them out, i'm just starting to collect them.
My style in the future will always tend to be on the side of elegant, chic, flowing, loose, and then i'll touch it up with sexy accesories and maybe a tiffany jewel so I won't completely outdo myself. I tend to think expensively (due to my 2nd cusp Libra, Sagittarius cusp IC, Venus Trine Jupiter, Sun conjunct Venus at IC, Venus Square AC), but like I said earlier, i can't afford that yet, in the midst of me honestly remaining true to myself and my style, prioritizing comes first for now.

something i don't like, however, are fashions that tend to be around like fads, for a limited amount of time, they're a waste.------------------

I dont wear high end designer clothes... not because I cant afford it, which is true... but because Im not crazy enough to spend my good hard earned money on something I could get for a fraction of the cost and that looks similar. I can be stingy with my $$$. I just wasnt raised that way...there are 5 other kids in my family so we couldnt afford designer wear. My father used to take me shopping if that is any indication  I usually wear pants and a shirt or sweater...mostly black or dark colours now that its fall. not big on brand names. IP: Logged |

well i don't know what they've told you, but high end fashion is definitely quality, they use the finest materials on earth to produce those expensive products.------------------

^ yeah that’s true.If my dad didn’t send me money every month, I wouldn’t afford it either. I could ask my mum and step dad, but it wouldn’t be that much. Plus they have my brother & sister to care for - and my dad has only me. IP: Logged |

Fack, gonna be a long one... don't get me started on fashion...Just saw the Jovovich link. That stuff is great, Neptune. Reminds me of anthropologie. Beauty-full ... mad expensive though. Nice to look at catalogues for ideas... urbanoutfitters, free people, anthro... Victoria's is like a magnet during semi-annual sales, hah... Aqua, Moussy looks f'ing hot. Got some old Japanese street fashion mags on sale somewhere. Looks like the stuff that just hit America in the past 2 yrs have been on these Japanese kids since turn-of-the-century. Craazy. They just opened up a UNIQLO flagship in the city. Haven't been there, but saw the site. Line also originated in Japan. Fav mag is Nylon www.nylonmag.com . It's umm, girly but with metro/street edge. Mainstream stores, umm... H&M, Loehmann's, DSW, urbanoutfitters... All I really do is look at the pics (online, books, catalogues) and try to replicate them on a tighter budget. Big on vintage from Goodwill shops and flea markets. Treasure hunting is fun! I am right across the river from Manhattan, so there's MAD shopping terrain there. And in NJ, ZERO TAXES ON CLOTHES! Oh yeah, about the quality thing... I agree. The problem is that most of the fashion-crazed women (and men) I know don't wear the same thing every season. It's like out with the old, in the with the new, before the old has even been worn long enough to manifest age. Hah... my rationale is to buy within budget but play off the quality... IP: Logged |

I actually majored in Fashion Design at F.I.T. in NYC.I enjoy fashion quite a bit but not if the fun is taken out of it. The fashion snobs and 'upper crust' seem to just enjoy souring it for everyone else. I experienced that a lot while at F.I.T. Fashion should be about self expression, fun, drama, self confidence -- not about who has the $2000 Armani suit and who has the $200 suit. There are some designers I like though I can't afford their clothes (and probably wouldn't want to spend that kind of $$$ on clothes if I had the money to begin with!). I'm completely happy to take inspiration and be creative finding pieces that are similar and more reasonably priced or even making my own. As for my personal style - that's debatable. Most people still call me 'gothic' even when I wear colour which is so funny to me. I can wear a pair of heather grey slacks to work with a leopard print tailored button up shirt and someone will come in and say "oh look it's the girl that always wears black". I guess I can't escape it even when I'm in red. IP: Logged |

well i believe that that is a fault of fashion obbsessed people, but I believe, a standard that I keep personally, to stay true to your own style, be an individual, don't follow the trends set them, just like the Jovovich you seen, i'd be wearing that regardless if someone else had it on, remember what you wear reflects you and has an affect on you, not the other person that your trying to compete with. ------------------

my fav. mag is definitely vogue, I read it mainly for "my personal" update on high end fashion(when i term high end, i don't mean it especially in price, but more because of the style), the beauty health and fitness articles are priceless as well.------------------
