Style: how many types are there?

ImageOk so my mind is boggling right now, i mean you see some strange outfits on people when your out and about , but to now actually have a clear view of different style categories then it explains itself the mixture of throw together s or lack of that we can sometimes run across in our everyday travels.

i put together after some research and brain scratching mixed with fashion knowledge of style terms of my own and came up with an extensive list of style types that almost everyone falls into. Wether your a fashion diva , or plane Jane then you fit into one or more of there’s categories just take a look and ask yourself which one fits you ( oh I forgot tailored)

I myself think I’m a little confused and don’t know who I am anymore lol because my style is mixed with at least 5 or 6 of these categories……… have fun figuring your style!

Shoe label Beau Coops by Carrie Cooper

Image

I am feeling the shoe line from designer Carrie Cooper, she worked with and used to design shoes for Alexander McQueen and she definitely has outdone herself with her very own standout style label Beau Coops

Heres a little insight about the label : (taken from the site http://www.beaucoops.com/about/)

 

Beau; denoting a stylish man, and Coops;

referring to the designer, Carrie Cooper.

This is a brand reflecting the coming

together of ideas and styles.

 

 

The Beau Coops agenda is simple: to

offer beautifully designed, classic

footwear and accessories, that represent

a lifestyle of comfort, quality and style.

 

 

Made in Italy and inspired by her former

East London home, the unisex label

embodies what the designer refers to as

“boyfriend chic” – reminiscent of that

special piece borrowed from a loved one.

 

The colors , style, and designs are awesome she definitely knows her way around a shoe. I’ll have to give it to her ,she as skills in shoe design I love the label and will be following her for years to come.

One thing for sure ladies if you decide to get yourself a pair of these funky kicks, you most certainly won’t see many other women rocking them along with you.

Love Sole Shoe,

New Emerging fashion designer from Greece Mary Katrantzou

Image

ImageImageImageImageImageMary Katrantzou is a Greek designer currently working and living in London .

Katrantzou’s graduating show in 2008 mapped out her signature style. It was themed around trompe l’oeil prints of oversized jewellery featured on jersey-bonded dresses. these pieces created the illusion of wearing giant neckpieces that would be too heavy in reality. She also designed real jewellery made out of wood and metal that were exact replicas of the prints. Mary katrantzou’s first ready-to-wear collection debuted at London fashion week in Spring/Summer 2009, with the support of the BFC and the New Gen scheme. Despite a small collection of nine dresses, Katrantzou picked up 15 prestigious stockists including Browns, Joyce and Colette. The designer achieved show status the following season, in Autumn/Winter 2009.

We’ve been following her designs and I must say they are absolutely uber chic, the concepts of the prints are both lively and attention getting. If you love color feminine looks and outstanding prints then you’ll love Mary’s ss 2013 line.

You can find her at London’s fashion week for those  who want to see the models in action modeling  some of her masterpieces , stay tuned in date with the upcoming designer shows and you won’t be disappointed, I know I’m not.

Origin of the cowboy boot

ImageImageImageImageImageThere Is a debate on where exactly the famous cowboy boot was invented or who invented it. Some say It is generally agreed that Charles Hyer of Kansas was the first to invent cowboy boots in the late 1800 s. More recently it has been debated if cowboy boots are an American creation at all. 

so here’s the other opinion , that cowboy boots are reportedly a boot that was traditionally worn by a group of nomadic warriors called The Huns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huns

Did I mention that the Huns came from the steppes of Central Asia?

And that they rode horses…and conquered…all the way to what is now France?

The Huns brought the boot technology that allowed them to conquer well established nations to Eastern Europe and beyond.  The Moors incorporated the boot into their own riding style.  Then, the Moors brought the boot and stirrup to what is now known as Spain.  The Spanish came to the new world, and the very first cowboys on the North American continent appeared…in Mexico.  These vaqueros, who lived and worked in California, were the biggest influence on cowboy culture.

Whatever the case may be I absolutely love cowboy boots and their various styles and colors, designers have been doing spectacular things with these original warrior footwear and turned them into a fashion statement that almost every fashion conscious , hip dresser must own.

 

we have favorited some well known cowboy boot brands that we think are just awesome, and I’m always a sucker for studded cowboy boots .
