Iconic pieces of the decade so far.

Okay...so I know we're only on our third year of this decade but I was thinking of pieces that have really affected me in the last few years and there were some massive stand-outs. Here are my Most Iconic Pieces of the Decade so Far:

5. Isabel Marant Sneaker Wedges:

So many tried and failed to combine runners and heels (I'm looking at you, Ash). This year's crop got them so right and while Marant wasn't alone in this, the label's version were probably the most lusted over. High street influence was huge and the "secret" height boost went down particularly well with Irish girls who can always do with a few more inches.

4. Stella McCartney.

...is not a piece but a person and label...obviously. In the last couple of years, however, she has produced items in almost every collection that have become "it" pieces for the season and which saw large-scale high street replication. I can't narrow it down any further so here are my favourites:

3. The Alexa.

Mulberry's 2010 bag became the one to have and launched a craze for satchels that hasn't yet died down. I actually have on of these which makes the pangs for the other items on this list less painful, now that I think about it.

2. The Alexander Wang Sweater Dress.

This is one of the first pieces that I was genuinely upset to be unable to attain. I still pine for it. The same show that featured this piece is probably also the root of the fishtail plait craze which lingers.

1. Alexander McQueen's insanely beautiful last collection.

Particularly the first piece. Kind of the root of the opulence and baroque trends but years ahead as per. Still one of the most beautiful collections I've ever seen. Just try to tell that this isn't art.

The Best Sneaker Wedges out there!

...in various price brackets. If you read this blog semi-regularly you'll get that I like sportswear. If you full-on stalk the blog and other sites affiliated with it you'll get that I'm OBSESSED with sneaker wedges. Here's just a few of the best of the best.

1. Marc by Marc Jacobs: My personal faves. If only I had money/was physically capable of saving money. Originally 320 euro on netaporter they were at half price but are now sold out. GODDAMN!!! They come in various colours and are AWESOME. My personal favourites are the striped multi-colour and the white, as seen below.

2. Isabel Marant: So maybe I lied. These are also my favourites and like the above Jacobs ones they were at half-price on netaporter but are now no longer on sale. You would have paid 435 euro originally or 217.50 at half price but can now expect to pay much more via ebay and other such sites. Fucking vultures.

And now some highstreet (ie attainable) versions:

3. Jeffrey Campbell Firenze and Venice: Both 120 euro and one is a more colourful, interesting take while the other is a gorgeous navy or red and nice and simple.

4. Aldo: Again: simple and chic and 100 dollars which puts them at less than 100 euro.

5. Topshop: 1. Athlete Drum Trainers - Super-cute print and 75 pounds. 2. Acrobat Wedge Hi-Top trainers - Nice colour combination and 80 pounds. 3. Aerobic Sport Wedge Trainers - Simple and lovely and 48 pounds.

Kate Bosworth - Isabel Marant Sneaker Wedges and Style Soulmateness

I kinda really love Kate Bosworth's style. It's like super-compatible with mine. There's a lot of different looks and it's hard to pin down. Her style seems fluid and to change with her moods. I will admit that she is probably a tad more boho to my goth but still, I LOVE how she dresses. I like the mixing of styles and juxtaposing of sensibilities like girly versus "practical" and sporty. This is kinda how I would dress if I had more money and similar enough to how I dress anyhoos.

Sportswear + flowy skirt = love

Sneaker wedges by Isabel Marant. I need me a pair!

Looking awesome at Coachella no less.

Just looking pretty.
