Winter Fashion Lemmings

May 24th 2006 13:55
What are lemmings, I hear you ask? A lemming is a longed-for piece or product that rises from reading a passionate post (usually on a fashion/beauty forum/website) about a new-fangled marvellous item that someone has sampled or purchased. Overwhelmed by desire, readers follow like lemmings jumping off a cliff. The word has saturated Vogue Australia Forums and in this post, is used to launch my commentary on what I want for winter.

Obviously my complete list is endless, especially since the recent cold weather has compelled me to look out for pieces for the winter fashion season. But here are the things that come to mind right now:

A jacket designed by Johnny Rotten and made by Vivienne Westwood

I think this is a mens' jacket but I love it anyway - the checked pattern is so nice!

Stubbs & Wootton Quickie Tweed Bag

The epitome of winter, I am LOVING this weekender bag this season, but at US$400, I can only wish!

Henry Beguelin Spring/Summer 2006

Although they're part of a spring/summer collection, I LOVE this boot for winter. The contrasting colours are interesting and it's beautifully handcrafted.

I don't have a picture of any, but I really really really want silver leather cowboy boots to wear with tights, as I'm feeling bold and experimental this winter. Anyone know where I can get some by any chance??

I also want a pair of cute snow boots for rainy days - I'm not going to let this gloomy weather cramp my style!

sounds like you're an expensive person to buy gifts for.

please don't wear your boots over your pants! Or are you all into that?

This post doesn't reflect the kinds of gifts I like to receive at all (or even things I buy for myself...ask any of my friends and they'll tell you I'm the biggest penny-pincher ever)!!!! I'm also actually a very sentimental person so a card or handmade gift gets me so excited! The items are above are just things that I want...it's very unlikely that I'll ever own them
Cibby you don't like boots over pants either??? I'm going to absolutely disgust you when we have this Orble blogger meet-up thing!!! Better remember to wear sneakers that day!

I guess I'll contain my disgust...

I'll be wearing worn-out pants, with holes in the cuffs, so you'd probably turn your nose up at me..!

No way, ripped pants are so hot!

Haha you sound like my mates...I'll probably just take to you with a needle and thread like I do with them!
