extra on the side, please

It's that time of the year: COUTURE COUTURE COUTURE!

which means conceptual becomes reality and there's tons of pretty to look at.

I think we all know that on the side of the shows themselves, the street style is a spectacle all on its own. Most of these were from the Paris Haute Couture shows (these were just a handful from the many we found), and stay tuned for our favorite picks from the runway from the fancy fancy.

note: Miroslava Duma looks pretty damn amazing every time. Plus the rottweiler & the tall boots (Givenchy)... Lust - Every girl needs a pair a boots that resembles perpetual bell bottoms and Megaman all together!

Some lovely images to help get you through your (middle of the week) Wednesday woes...

Gotta love this Russian Vogue! And the beauty: Anna Selezneva

So much wonderful movement with such strong pieces. When working a tonal, all you need is great structure & texture. Anthony Maule & Geraldine Saglio can do some magic.

And that little metal bag belt number that looks like a canteen... Sort of, kind of, really want it!
