On the runway...

Often when I look at ramp pieces, I'm so overwhelmed (for some pieces usually because I'm shocked). This piece, Oyster Bracelet (yellow gold diamond encrusted piece), is one of the few ramp piecse that I really quite enjoyed looking at when I was browsing the net. It doesn't really have the exaggeratted size of a conventional ramp piece, it is quite a big bracelet though, with a differnt organic design and shape, which that alone aids it in still playing a role as a noticable statement piece, with the with the diamonds just bringing it out a bit more with their shimmers and putting it in the spotlight...and that is simply what I love about this particular piece, elegent, yet it's bald.





This would be an example of the type of ramp pieces I am reffering to when I say large ramp pieces. This necklace feels too clustered to me, and seems somewhat impractical for an average being, as if it will constantly be in ones way when wearing it (it sort of feels as though one has to constantly be upright when wearing it so that it deosnt weigh you down or get into your way. Besides that, it is just not an appealing design to me personally, and it feels like it's a messy tangled up piece that needs to be set free. i do however enjoy the random splash of colour here and there.































Runway desses, I always seem to like those, but when it all comes down to it and i have to pick one, i would go for the champaigne dress. Both the looks and designs are appealing, but I much prefer colour to black a lot of the time. I love how the brown, black and champaigne are put together so that they work well together and at the same time enhance the design of the dress. I love the flowy yet fitting effect the design of the dress has. Unlike the other look which uses the conventioal greys and black, which don't really play a role as such in the overall design of the jersey and the skirt. I do however love the saggy look of the jersey, but the thin straps used to hold it up are a bit of a deal breaker for me, I feel it adds a tacky label to the loook...especially when put together with the leather mini skirt.
