Vera Wang Fall 2010

Nothing chicer than a knotted mass of pearls.

Nothing chicer than a knotted mass of pearls.

Incredible mix of textures at Derek Lam.
And yes, I obviously need a sweater with built-in gloves.






Textures.

Velvet legs.




The forest for the trees.
And the trees are made of lace and leather.



The Proenza Schouler spring show was the perfect way to end my New York fashion week experience. The whole thing came and went in a flash and I still couldn’t believe that I barely made it in before they closed the doors. It was the fastest/shortest show I saw all week and I was left wanting more and more. The clothes themselves were of course, unbearably cool. It evolved from a jacket tied non-chalantly around the hips to amazing acid print feathered cocktail dresses with a pit stop at the surf shop in between. All the necessary components to make the collection bold, youthful and “of-now”.
In the end all that remains in my mind are big strokes of color.
Big BEAUTIFUL strokes of color.

Perfect for a little DIY moment:
Galliano says to go to the thrift store, buy the whole display and transfer it to your favorite trenchcoat. Look good and make a lil’ money on the side, should the opportunity arise.

I came across this close up of Siri at Dolce & Gabbana and I feel like it best captures the vibe of their awesome spring collection. Her kinda regal/messy pure white hair, red lips, old-time accessories and white lace turtleneck are all expressions of the new romanticism. At the same time, there is something about her gaze that says she’s ready to beat down if anyone’s looking for trouble.
In other words, perfect.


I am still completely mesmerized by the sparkly number Alber sent out on the runway a couple days ago.
DECADENT.

Essential accessory for next spring:
Miu Miu’s cat pin.
I’m certain if Kahlo, my cat, could get this for me, she would.
I will merely comply with her wishes.
