Fall in that YSL, Try it on you fly as hell

You know those days when nothing of note really happens, but you still make some life changing decisions? Yeah I'm having one of those days today. I visited the UCL Bartlett School of Architecture exhibition and realised that I don't want to pursue architecture as a career. This is some scary sh*t for me...for the first time in a long time I don't know where I'm going in life and it scares the hell out of me...but f*ck it, all I know is that I don't want to be an architect. Now I just have to figure out what I DO want to be...

So visiting this exhibition today was fate, because one of the first projects I came across was a proposal for the redevelopment of the Saint Laurent store in Paris. The scheme itself was sh*t to be perfectly honest, but it didn't even matter anymore because mental images of the newest Saint Laurent campaign flashed through my mind: 

I am a sucker for all black outfits, I love love love them. Growing up I thought they were boring until I matured and learned the error of my ways and recognised the beauty of an all black outfit. But when I saw how Hedi Slimane completely f*cked with YSL, I was momentarily shocked and even a bit outraged. Then I realised he did the brand a favour, in my modest opinion. Even the new logo is minimalist and so much more updated. I know most fashion brands cash in on their rich heritage and this name change was criticised from moving away from the tradition of the brand, I think it was genius. The new collections have been dope has hell, proven by the fact that all the celebs (inc. Rosie Huntington Whitely) have been wearing them: 

I know a lot of people underestimate the power of black on black but TRUST me its the SH*T. Especially when you accessorise properly - gold jewellery is my go to, as well as jade/green statement pieces that contrast beautifully e.g. Angelina Jolie, the definition of a goddess. N'awww whenever I don't know what to wear, I stick to black...I know my lane and I stay in it. 

Oh and just to end on an even more beautiful note, Gwen Stefani's cover of Vogue in Saint Laurent Paris. I think she rocks the new collection the best, effortlessly elegant with casual edginess:

Goddamn she is so stunning in these shots, I love the way Hedi Slimane has managed to fuse 70s glamour with mannish tailoring and a punk aesthetic with the leather biker jackets, makes for such a chic look. I'm currently too broke to even buy anything remotely similar, so I'm going to make the most of my wardrobe right now and attempt to channel the Saint Laurent look with black cropped cigarette pants, pussybow blouses and large floppy hats. All black errthang of course, courtesy of my man Kanye. Love you Yeezy, Yeezus is giving me life right now, the album is on repeat constantly.
