Illionaire brings us an Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2009 lookbook that's akin to vintage pin-up infused eighties. Or something. However you'd best describe it, the word sexy should probably be in there somewhere too.
My favourite piece is this rose-red ruched minidress, which is almost too cute for words. Also look out for a hot pair of leather shorts, a winter piece that will take you well and truly into 2010.
Looking at New York Street Style and we spot yet another take on the military trend. This time it's a military-inspired cardigan, snapped by Altamira NYC.
Spiked belts dripping with chains evoke a sense of the bondage/fetish trend, while feathered skirts and elegant winter jackets add a softer touch. But it's the over-the-knee boots trend that really grabs us in Vogue Paris' June/July 2009 issue.
A pair sitting more to the quirky side of the equation, the boots feature a large houndstooth pattern, and come from Alexander McQueen's Autumn(Fall)/Winter - 2009/2010 Collection.
The new style that celebrities are lapping up is the 'jeggings' trend; but it's one we're very wary about. A jean design in a leggings cut is sweeping the industry and high street brands are rushing to get them into their stores fast enough. Some come with coloured stitching, press-studs and pockets to add to the jean effect but other brands such as Rock & Republic and Topshop have created leggings with the jean print on them just to cheat the look.
We don't suspect this trend will be a long-term one worth investing in. What do you think about jeggings?
The elegance of fitted suede over-the-knee / thigh-high boots is something we pointed out recently when talking about upcoming fashion trends for 2010. Suede is a great choice for this trend, as the uber-stylish Geraldine Saglio demonstrates. She was snapped by Jak & Jil whilst striding through Paris.
