Just a quicky. MAXI Skirts.

ankle-skimming, Floor-skimming... It's all about any skirt (or trouser leg) Skimming something below the calf. they're cute, cool, chic and the movement you get from them is like no other.

the research for this style trend rocked by stylish individuals was the highlight of this post; waiting for an image to load anticipatively to see a maxi skirt only to find the image carefully unravelling- in a slow downward scrolling, unveiling motion to reveal knee lengths or the ever-so-close mid-calf lengths...However, I did manage to find one after a long, tedious search i decided to take a break & not try so hard & the idea blossomed into this inspiring 2011 S/S trend that has been roaming the streets since late 2010 just like finding love, it's a beautiful trend that shouldn't go unnoticed.

look one.

This was my outfit today.We all know florals 'are for spring', florals are 'so last year' etc...but I was in the mood to play up simple with a subtle statement blazer jacket. The UGGS, which i do like was worn for more practical reasons, but I still like them. (so comfortable and warm to stave off the horrible phase of the cold, wet weather in England)

Anyway, In relation to simplicity; I am a pretty simple individual who appreciates muted, subtlety. blacks, browns, whites, creams and greys. minimal yet sophisticated...It seems that this S/S 2011 is about keeping it 'Neil': Clean, polished, solid and sophisticated, with attitude. With edge. (vivid, bright, fresh colours & beautiful new silhouettes).

Philip Lim's 2011 S/S collection has a really 'clean' aesthetic, straight cuts, strong shapes, muted (and the not-so-muted, but fresh) colours.

& my much loved CK was full of dynamic, architectural shapes, lose fitted dresses and jumpsuits. one of my favourite labels; collections. (since age 11...i've always had a thing for minimalist styles; like defined cheekbones. x)

the pieces are so bold, beautiful and inspiring in every way without the need to overwhelm the isle of the catwalk with beautiful yet; blinding hues and strong patterns. Sometimes, or for some of us- all the time, simple is just- Just perfect & necessary really...
