maximal mininalist

maximal mininalist by cristov featuring wayfarer sunglasses

in the current move toward minimalism, this look, comprising of a nuetral colour palette is a more overt version of the trend. a fur skirt is paired with a camel leather tee. a brass michael kors watch and brass knuckleduster are as flashy as the look gets. a celine envelope clutch and fur lined shoes complete the look.

a little carrie... by cristov featuring ray ban sunglasses

this look, comprising of a rodarte dress, cob-web cardigan and spiked heels by rodarte x christian louboutin is a extreme version on carrie bradshaws eccentric take on lady-like dressing. worn with a petticoat, this dress has a very current mad-men 60's shape then belting it with the cardigan adds to the twisted classic look. a chanel 2.55, jil sander earrings and a brass cuff complete this look

lady-like with punch

lady-like with punch by cristov featuring dior jewelry

as you can tell from my previous posts i'm not opposed to clashing colours and prints. this look is dominated by pieces from ysl, the clutch, the shoe, the skirt and the ring all from the french label. pairing the leopard-print skirt with the nude/purple check blouse may seem off-putting but it is pulled together by stella mccartney's slightly oversized double breasted jackets in grey houndstooth. the red shoe adds a jolt of colour and i think red manicure is also called of this look...
