We can take a printed silk pant and show you ten different ways to suit ten different occassions (soon to be posted btw ), but can we talk about hair & makeup??  It’s baffling!  My personal limits are a quick messy bun and some lipstick…ta dah!  It’s artistry I truly admire and, clearly, admire from a far.  Well here’s one to admire upclose, the Bumble & Bumble crew and Dame Vivienne Westwood for Fall11.  I am left completely speechless.  How did they do that?  How did they think to do that?  The iconoclastic redhead’s creative direction?  Her mantra, of course, “ANYTHING GOES!”

before - fresh & bare

oooh...so cool, the Marie-Antoinette-like hair

Love everything about her, Vivienne Westwood

Leave it to London to cheer everyone up.   Their out-of-the-box, creative, individualistic take on fashion instantly puts you in an optimistic mood and the fashion is not as ‘out there’ or as classic english as it seems…..just throw on your favorite leather biker jacket
