Very Excellent Habits

How to Steal the Look of Christian Lacroix Couture 2008

It’s all in the accessories darling. Now I know when people think of Lacroix their minds immediately wander over to Ab Fab land where Patsy is snorting cocaine and Eddie keeps repeating ‘It’s Lacroix sweetie…’ whilst wearing the ugliest outfit in all existence. And to the average person it is difficult to defend our dear Christian. But I adore him. I have said before that I am not much of a runway girl but when Style.com releases the catwalk looks of the season I head straight for the man who promotes the extreme. But how to get the decadent and unapologetic look of the Master of Clashers without looking like a clown? Turn your eyes towards the accoutrement to take this catwalk look to the street…

A red beaded rosary belt. How simply beautiful, timeless and controversial.

A jet black massive beaded pin. To close a cropped cardi, to pin to scarf, to devilishly clip on your shoe.

A delicious white neck ruff. The Queen of all accessories this season. Wear it with a black strapless dress. And nothing else but Chanel No. 5…

A long rope of delicate flowers thrown casually around the waist. Team with a long skirt and let your hips work it.

A red garland of flowers worn at the side of the head. Do add a bow. If you are going to O.T.T you might as well do it fabulously…
