The pieces you need

ELLE UK February 2013 by Jan Welters 'The Pieces You Need Now'First of all, Anja always looks stunning. She is definitely one of the models that can rock any looks and pull it off amazingly. I love her look for the moment, with the short blonde hair and that messy fringe. In this editorial ‘The Pieces You Need Now’, photographed by Jan Welters, she is styled in several stunning pieces from the spring and summer 2013 collections from Givenchy, Dolce & Gabbana, Bottega Veneta and more. The editorial is featured in ELLE UK February 2013. My favourite pieces would be the thigh-high lavender sandals from Salvatore Ferragamo, the oversized Saint Laurent hat, the Dolce & Gabbana off-the shoulder dress as well as the blue denim jacket with pearl buttons from Chanel.

Knee-high

This fall is all about the knee-high boots! It’s a huge trend and at the previous fashion weeks models, buyers, bloggers, editors and fashionistas has been wearing this sexy shoe not only with jeans but to shorts, skirts, dresses…well, you name it. Above you see my all time favourite knee-high boots this fall – from Altuzarra. They are fabolous! I would love, love, love to get my hands on one of those models. Underneath I’ve listed some more boots – also very fab. From the left: Aquazzura suede and crocco boot, in the middle: knee-high leather boot from Gianvito Rossi and a gorgeous slouchy leather boot from Givenchy. Underneath: blue suede boot from Aperlaï, python thigh-high boot from Tom Ford (gorgeous) and a brown furry boot from Givenchy fall 2012 collection.

La Petite Bourgeoise

Toni Garrn looks absolutely stunning in the editorial ‘La Petite Bourgeoise’ for the Vogue Beuaty Japan August 2012 issue. Notice the knee-high boots that are exposed several times in the editorial! Gorgeous! By Katja Rahlwes and styled by Sissy Vian.

Trend FW12: Knee-high

The one-shoe-to-invest-in this fall and winter is definitely the knee-high boots. Christian Louboutin has a pair of amazing boots in suede with fringes in his fall collection and Givenchy has the shark-tooth boots which I’ve blogged about before. But these above are my favourites! Fringes, snake and thigh-high (!) boots from Altuzarra.
