Urge to splurge- part 2: the entire Missoni F/W 11-12 collection

I’m a shopaholic, I have to admit it. My weak points are denim, coats & jackets, turquoise jewellery, boots and anything ethnic/handmade/original. Usually I don’t really lust for entire collections, as I don’t want to wear the same clothes that everybody else wears. After I saw images of the fall/winter collection of Missoni I had to make an exception to this rule however, as I’m completely in lust with it: Those colours! The luxurious fabrics & knits! The shapes and layering and nonchalance! Those sky high prices! OK, that last one maybe not so much. I did some research online and just a pair of those knitted wide legged pants would already set me back 750 euros and of course I want (what do I say? I NEED!) it all, including the snakeskin snow boots. Another soft spot I have is for UGG-style boots and this would certainly mean an upgrade to the usual simple style. As most of you will know, Missoni also did a line for Target this autumn, but apart from the fact that it sold out in 1 hour, it’s not even comparable with the main line. Have a look at the photos and tell us what you think- love it or loathe it?

Love & light,

Ninette
