If you’re looking to combine four Spring/Summer 2011 trends in one shoe the Wild Stride Wedge is definitely footwear to pursue! It juxtaposes the bold cheetah print with the minimalist white colour trend, with the wedge style, in an overall retro look!

The open-toe platform ankle bootie has a zipper in the back, and is perfect to jazz up a white, black or monochrome- coloured outfit, and will even add attitude to colour-blocked clothes.  Designed and manufactured by Matiko Shoes, the wedges are available for purchase on Modcloth.com for US$194.

Jumpsuit of the Day: Temperley London at London Fashion Week

Temperley London collection shown at London Fashion Week

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Temperley London brand, and to celebrate, designer Alice Temperley staged her Fall/Winter 2011 Ready-to-Wear runway show at the British Museum in London– a fashion week first! Models strutted their glamorous garments down the runway, and then struck statue-like poses at one side of the grand staircase. For her colour palette, Temperley combined harsh blacks and browns with soft neutral shades of white, and a few touches of red.  Fabrics were sheer, lace and silk, with a variety of textures and treatments.

Temperley combines a retro design with a bold, glittering gold and brown print to create this jumpsuit, suitable for both evening-wear and perhaps a night out at a lavish lounge. In many ways, the cut of this garment is very similar to a Topshop Unique design shown the same day in London.
