i have to admit this comes a bit late but i just realised that SD has had a few awsome looking pieces hidden in the latest TINGELING collection which is also on sale right now (!!!) and those items are based on BALENCIAGA's spring 2012 ready to wear collection.
some of you may know the french based fashion houes with a really long tradition some may not. i personally knew that there is a fashion house called BALENCIAGA but not only had i a huge problem pronouncing it but also wasn't really into it but since the show named above i was in love with NICOLAS GHESQUIÉRE's architectural looking desgines. it's also very interesting to see how BALENCIAGA is going to change now that ALEXANDER WANG is in charge as creative director.
yes this collection really was or still is blowing my mind. and the best thing about it are (if you ask me) the silk shorts, the cut is so relaxed and makes the already freaking long legs of the modesl even longer (aaaah) and the prints are next to perfect. these shorts make me wanne jump on a plane and fly somewhere sunny and calm like a hawaiian black sand beach.
3 of those short pants are avaliable at the SP right now and there are on sale isn't that awsome the sad thing about this sale is that it's the last tingeling sale ever the store is closing down and i really don't know why SD is doing this but i can't save tingeling so if you don't buy now you will have to search for them in the bazaar ... (so sad)
from left to right: safari chic dress (16$), african nights shorts (77$c), zebra sky shorts (6$) and zebra tracks shorts (65$c) right now all these things are 50% off so you if you like them now is the time to buy them.
here we have the BALENCIAGA original versions of the shorts and as i said those pants are beyond wonderful but also have to say they're not that easy to style. i mean you can always try to copy the runway looks but as SD only released those shorts from the collection (and a dress and pair of shoes). if you want to combine them in an everyday-doll-look you should try to use simple shirts without prints and you may also try to use shirts dyed in a color which is also used in the fabric of the shorts. for example if you wear the shorts from that first picture (above) you may try a darkgreen tank top or a black one as you can find these colors also in the fabric but white always works too.
before i close this post i have one little tip for you. those who haven't heard it the WINDOWS OF THE WORLD store is closing down and therefor all the clothes are 50% off incase you still have some pieces from this shop you always wanted to buy but never did so far i think you should take the chance and buy now. some pieces are ridiculous cheap. here is what i graped at last chance:
those pieces are the ones i just needed to have befor i had to search through the bazaar in order to get them ... and they were really cheap so i think there is nothing to complain about.
so long
