Designer Spotlight: MSGM
I’ve only recently discovered the brand MSGM, but let me tell you, I’ve fallen fast. Bright prints mixed with flattering silhouettes? Sign me up! As someone who happens to thoroughly enjoy the color yellow from fluorescent gatorade to egg yolk, it’s no wonder MSGM caught my eye – their current collection is full of neon yellow!
The brand is Italian and designed by Massimo Giorgetti, and though still relatively new, it’s already garnered the attention of fashion’s most elitist crowd – aka the brigade of street style snapped editors. And though I’m by no means elitist, it’s caused me drool this morning’s cup of coffee on my keyboard which, to me, is sufficient proof of a promising label. So before you continue browsing these photos, might I suggest a napkin or a bib of sorts?

Designer Spotlight: Charlotte Olympia
I’ve decided to add another element to my blog. Meet the “Designer Spotlight” where I plan to showcase designers that put me on an emotional roller coaster with their beautiful creations. First up, Charlotte Olympia. You may know her because you stalk her designs like me, or perhaps you recognize those kitty heels frequently seen in flat form on Alexa Chung, but in the chance that you don’t know who she is or what she makes, allow me to show you a few of my recent favorites.
Along with sky scraper heels that will put you face-to-face with the Jolly Green Giant, she also designs structured clutches that are simultaneously architectural, modern, and elegant. Check out Miss Clear Lucite down yonder ↓ — ain’t she a beaut?! But if a see-through clutch has you fearing that the world will see your Hello Kitty iPhone case or tampons, fear not because it also comes with clothed inserts of snow leopard, denim, and all those other must-have fabrics.
As for the aforementioned sky scraper heels, she’s quite well known for her golden mega platforms, but I’m obsessed with her mix matched booties made of two different animal prints. While I don’t own any Charlotte Olympia – she’s one of those Wish List/Save-up-to-buy designers for me – I’ll have you know that those kitty heels have been high on my list for quite some time, and her Spring 2012 collection (see bottom photo), well, it should come as no surprise that I want leaves on my feet.
