The idea is simple, bloggers need brands and brands need bloggers. About a month ago I received an invitation to join "Bloggers Wardrobe". For those who aren't familiar, it is an amazing site where top bloggers from all over the world and top brands collaborate to present a web shop of assortment just for todays bloggers to shop from. I've made it to the second round of the competition and I need your help! Simply "LIKE" Bloggers Wardrobe on facebook and "LIKE" the seventh picture in the competition photo album. There are 14 days left to vote and the ten bloggers with the most likes win. Many many thanks to all of the readers of Walking In Heels.

ASOS Autumn/Winter 2011 Preview @ The Ames Boston

On Tuesday I was invited to attend the ASOS autumn/winter 2011 collection preview at the Ames hotel in Boston. I went to cover the event with my friend and fellow Boston fashion blogger Nicolle. ASOS is one of my favorite brands, when I worked in the fashion closet at Teen Vogue I can't recall how many times I nearly drooled over all the samples while secretly wishing each piece would magically appear in my own closet. When we arrived to the suite we were greeted by Austin the senior director of fashion PR from Starworks Group and Kevin the international senior PR manager. Known as more of a spring thing, there's no stopping the COLOR explosion this year. It's not about one color it is a small gang of colors. This upcoming season the 40's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's collide creating some of the most bright and bold vintage-inspired looks introducing new trends. From mod squad, color blocking, androgyny, to minimalism. Key prints consist of polka dots, snakeskin, and tribal. Retro reigns this fall, it's tailored and chic with sharper shapes. After leaving the Ames I strolled down Charles street and stopped into Artifaktori Vinatge to say hello to my other fellow Boston fashion blogger friend Amanda. I found the most amazing pair of sling-back kitten heels and printed blouse from the 80's.

Lykke Li- "Love Out Of Lust"

Her voice and my ears are soul mates.


"Love Out Of Lust"

Rather die in your arms, than die lonesome
Rather die hard, than die hollow
The higher that I climb
The deeper I fall down
I'm running out of time
So let's dance while we're waiting

We will live longer than I will
We will be better than I was
We can cross rivers with our will
We can do better than I can
So dance while you can
Dance cause you must
Love out of lust
Dance while you can

Rather live out a lie than live wondering
How the fire feels while burning
For life is like a flame
And the ashes for wasting
So honey don't be afraid
To dance while we're waiting

We will live longer than I will
We will be better than I was
We can cross rivers with our will
We can do better than I can
So dance while you can
Dance cause you must
Love out of lust
Dance while you can

So tired of waiting
Come baby
So tired of waiting
Come baby

We will live longer than I will
We will be better than I was
We can cross rivers with our will
We can do better than I can
We will live longer than I will
We can cross rivers with our will
We can do better than I can
So dance while you can
Dance cause you must
Love out of lust
So dance while you can

Love out of lust
Love out of lust
Love out of lust
