Luxury rap the Hermes of verses, Sophisticated ignorance write my curses in cursive


I won't lie I'm definitely a winter baby but the sun outside is screaming summer, and this was my anthem for last years summer so I'm reacquainting myself with it. I personally think that Kanye spun Jay on this, especially his second verse - the title lyrics are from this verse. So anyway, I just peeped the new Hermes AW13 and I want it all....it's seriously beautiful, the epitome of the sophisticated elegance of French fashion. My favourites have to be:




These silhouettes are so feminine, high waisted trousers and pencil skirts, but I love how the addition of a masculine car/aviator jacket adds an extra dimension. As for all the textures...yum. Leather, fur, silk....it all looks so luxurious but understated thanks to a clean colour palette of rich navys, cognacs and brick reds...I know I said I love black but jewel tones like this make me swoon, especially when they're paired together. My favourite look has to be the navy bomber jacket with the balloon sleeves paired with the croc leather cognac wrap pencil skirt...sexy striking sport luxe...just beautiful. I want it so bad, why am I so broke? To make myself feel better, I searched for similar items in my price range (not that I should really be buying anything but f*ck it...I'm young) and came up with a similar look that is along the same lines of a mixed texture oufit with a rich colour scheme: 


 Admittedly the silhouette of this ASOS skirt is different from the Hermes one I'm lusting after, but this one is super flattering too and for those who tend towards more feminine pieces, this piece is perfect...and it's on sale too!   The price has gone down from £90 to £45 which is a steal, and the tan colour is so lovely. Here's the link if any of y'all like it as much as I do: http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Premium-Skirt-in-Pleated-Leather/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2299830&cid=16167&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Tan


I am slyly in love with this Topshop sweat you know, partially because the relaxed fit of a sweat contrasts beautifully with the subtle sheen of the silky material which adds glamour to the otherwise casual piece. I think the silkiness would go perfectly with the leather of the skirt, and the navy/tan combo would be beautiful for Autumn. So it's a little on the pricey side with a price tag of £120 but hello student discount...it saves my life all the time. I'm pretty sure this will go into the sale anyway, but I couldn't wait, I'm weak for sport luxe it's such a fashionable way to be comfortable during the day and pretend like your outfit was meticulously planned. The link for the sweat: http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=10636317&langId=-1&categoryId=&searchTerm=sweatshirt&pageSize=200.

Please believe that Hermes will act as the inspiration for my whole Autumn wardrobe. Check out the whole collection if you can, it's honestly so beaut!
