Ok, I have to admit it, Sophie Hulme makes sequins look really cool. Not that I ever had anything against them, it’s just that they aren’t often given a chance to expand beyond their usual application. Ha.

I stumbled across Hulme’s site last night and was swooning over the sequin jackets, and then suddenly realized, when I recognized the boxy sequin dresses, that Pixie Market recently started carrying the line .

The line’s ultimate appeal for me though, is the use of traditional masculine silhouettes. Unsurprisingly, I keep finding myself drawn to clothing that walks the line. Everything is loose and oversized so it looks like you raided your boyfriend/husband/brother/dad’s closet.

Did anyone notice the ‘snowflake’ sequins are actually composed of fighter jet shapes? And how about the Members Only style jacket with a bow on the back or the men’s parka shapes smothered in sequins? Love it.

I’ve posted pieces from A/W 08, S/S 09 and A/W 09. Be sure to click the ‘read more’ link to see several more photos after the jump

Blackbird is another online shop I’ve had bookmarked for some time, but was waiting for an expanded selection before posting. They’re mostly geared toward men, but there are plenty of pieces on the site that can work for both genders, especially if you’re a girl who favours a more androgynous look (me! me!).

I am loving the rolled jeans-in fact I’m wearing mine done up the same way today (my legs are cold-ha). Their outerwear is to die for too.

Dark and moody, androgynous menswear from Dutch designer, Anneloes Van Osselaer. I like!
