spring 2010 paris trois

ok k k. its time to blow this popsicle stand. it's done. now read up:

karl lagerfled

god bless this man. he had shorts in his collection. not bermudas or hot pants or bloomers. shorts!! my cry for moderate decency has been answered. he showed off his playsuits again, one in leather was quite attention getting. some interesting jackets and the amps in the background definetly screamed rock and roll but this show wasnt heavy metal, unless you count the silver filgree overlapping outfits.

louis vuitton

this show had the best song. (hands up, thumbs down, representing that...) they also had fabulous fros (with bows in them) and a color pallet out the wiz-aow. there was a lot of mixing and matching. the vibe of the show had this im a backer packer feel but there was also some sporty, military, and native american things in there. the bags where backpacks and satchels with fur tails hanging off them. my favorite piece was the wrap style pant, definetly gonna have to get some of those.

maison martin margiela

they like to break rules, what more can i say? they say it was a study in volume and texture but what collection doesnt involve volume and texture. oh and for the love of bob what the hell was going on with those boots? they better just be some paper bags because i felt that was a waist of leather. i could totally work with them though, if they werent so floppy. the show itself, was a flop. actually scratch that, make your own decsion. my favorite piece was the, well see the thing is, i didnt really like any of it...

miu miu

i loved the animal prints!!!!! i dug some of the pants suits. there where some little girl dresses in there with cutouts...idk but prada did not dissopoint me thats for sure.

sonia rykiel

there was a clear plastic trench trimmed in black. that sums up my love of this collection. but the models shimming up and down asile, suits covered in studs, lace, anf flirty dresses where ok too. the quilting thing was a nice touch to everything too. but come on, nothing can top a plastic black lined trench. maybe im baised.

valentino

well there where no red dresses. lots of nude and lavender, rose, gold, and gray. i dug the black orchid print on the chiffon. plus there was swirling organza. the shoes had lace wings on them. fly home buddy boy...

victor&rolf

tulle ball gowns (deep breath) cut in to pieces (another breath) and they turned out fabulous (and exhale.) it was awesome. the dutch duo is awesome. they also did a little lace trip putting their two cents into this season lingerie trend.
vivienne westwood

its all about stoping consumerism and being pro green. the few pieces that stood out from the deflated bra cups and unfinished hems, where the suits. the whole thing was crazy, and i can appreciate that. (check out the flame like hair.)
yves saint laurent

surprise i suppose was my reaction to this collection. it was odd, the laderhosen and strawberry scattered dress. there was no definite statement. very minimalism and lady like things. the suits, well, at least i'll all ways have those.

well thats all for paris. next stop...london.break out those wellies.

daily fashion tip_hair pin. their great for windy days when pieces of your hair randomly go flying about. i have a pearl one, its a bit old but it doest the job. their are tons and extra cheap too if you get them from claires or your local beauty store. in the summer i tend to wear bright plaid patterned and flower one and in the winter i break out the monochromes and jewel pins.

Such a Star they call me Star Spangled

so spring collections are starting to wrap up. *tear.
i cant share with you every collection i've seen but i hope the ones i've written about got you excited and inspired. however, yestrday i promised i would tell you all about stella mccartney (if it werent for my extreme fatigue i could have told you earlier)

stella is just an awesome name, at least i think so. for awesome names there are awesome collections and boy was i pleased when i saw those flouncing ruffles, military like patterns, bright burst of color, and more sheer pandamonium flounce down stella mccartneys runway in paris. (in case you didnt already know im color biased. i do love blue, it looks fantasmical against my skin and waters just so delicious) so it was no surprise that i was thrilled when out comes a pair of menswear style bright blue pants. I almost yelped in joy. i also believe i saw an asymetrical long sleeved shirt with bloomer liek bottoms. talk about ur sexy back. check out the looks for your self on her website, found in my shoppers paradise links. i do adore the ruffles as well.

daily fashion tip_moderation. i think that the perfect closet is a qunique mix of masculine and femme. leaning towards on side is great but dont discrimante the more you mix the more your outfit reflects you (this also stems from my belief that wearing and outfit entirely designed by one person is tacky (this excludes dresses, suits, and shoes) if ur cap is polo, and ur shirt is polo, and ur socks are polo, and ur watch is polo, ur boxers, ur sneakers, jacket, colonge, and undershirt are polo, you damn well better be in a polo tornament or else ur just a walking hunk of polo.) i just wanted to throw those observations out there. logo city is just not pretty.

TIme Drains

hey it me!! i do believe this is my twenty sixth blog. *tear. im growing up.

any hooo. im freaking out a little inside because my november teen vogue has yet to come. i heard it has jordan dunn and chanel iman on the cover but i wouldnt know because i have yet to recieve mine. i never throw a copy of teen vogue out. i've been getting them since i was eleven.

on the other hand i watched the stella mccartney show today. i do adore that stella, always putting things out that i'd wear. more details on that tmrw. so much to do so little time.

i'm still trying to figure out how to put up pics of all the fantasmical things i see to share with you. lets just say it's a work in progress.

p.s. check out tonights gossip girl. hilary duff and tyra banks are sure to make a splash.

daily fashion tip_statement necklace. its perfect for a simple frock, party dress, or to jazz up you'r plain white tee. for slim in the front women i suggest long beads. no not mardi gras, i mean delicate chains and strands of pearls. if you like chunky find a long necklace with a chunky piece at its lowest part. uber curvy women try chocker like strands. no they should not actually choke you but if they have a pendant it should rest between your collar bones. mid length works for just about any size though it should be worn by those of you not sporting a to b's or d's. try not to layer to much. always take one think off before you leave the house, coco chanel taught me that.

when i was checking out alexander pre spring/summer 2010 line and i do believe im in love. from strapping dresses, quite literally, to paint splatters, shoulders of steel, and wasp like lace overlaying yellow dresses. and to my surpeise what did i spy? open toed boots!! this is going to be a big one for spring ladies better start making those pedicure appointment early. my favorite looks are 40, 12, 14, and 22.

daily fashion tip_lace. for spring im peeping lots of sheer pandemonium. romanticism and hard heavy street wear. maybe some splatered jeans with a lace tank under a fall blazer? possibilities are endless. deconsructed, lingere showing, structured. but dont forget that pretty lace. truly scrumptious.\
