print times two

i'm loving the double up'ed print looks for zara s/s 12. i want those shorts (center) and pants (right). beautiful!

 

p.s. have you seen the vid -S**t fashion girls say-? i laugh so hard every. single. time. "it was a lot of look but you pulled it off" so true here ;-)  

Other-worldly creatures washed up on the shore…

...And walked the runway for Alexander McQueen. This show was so exquisite, dreamed up and manifested with every meticulous detail perfectly executed. Sarah Burton is a true artist and genius. 

 

Chloé Cutie-Pies

Chloé's S/S 2012 runway presented an effortless chic woman wearing flowing pleated frocks colored in beautiful torquoises and bright corals mixed with shades of nude and white. The girls were styled with simple pretty hair parted in the middle and minimal accessories. Very easy and beautiful, indeed!

And just because this was too cute to resist, some shots of the major cutie-pies from the Chloé Fall/Winter 2011 Children's Collection campaign. So adorable!!

the power-dressing snake charmer

Alber Elbaz doesn’t mess around dressing this no-nonsense smart woman with snake charming abilities. I’m loving his outlook for the Lavin S/S 2012 collection: Minimal, modern, chic, and as always, playful surprises with twinkles of joy! 

p.s. i'd like the oversized nude blazer-dress and a choker necklace, please! :-)

!!!!!

After graduation some girlfriends and I went to Hong Kong for a couple weeks to celebrate. A few days into the vacay, I emailed my parents and exclaimed that we were having THE TIME OF OUR LIVES!!!!!!! Meanwhile my noisy friends were looking over my shoulder as I emailed a personal message…. They were all, stop yelling at your parents. Haha, I seriously didn’t know that all caps was yelling! Obviously they wouldn’t shut up about it after that.

I’ve also been busted for my excessive use of exclamation points, which gives off the impression of being either really dramatic or super hyper. Maybe both are slightly accurate. ;-) However, something worthy of shouting and exclamation points are these detail shots from the Dolce and Gabbana S/S 2012 collection. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! The vibe is very reminiscent of Sophia Loren, old Hollywood glamour with a twist… did you notice the pasta shaped earrings?  So fun!  What do you think?

bold steps

Presenting some bright and exquisite footwear fresh off the s/s 2012 runways. i love the little black lace bootie sock under a strappy pastel heel and the mary jane remix with an ankle strap. Which ones do you like?

Designers featured- prada, marni, dolce & gabbana, missoni, and salvatore ferragamo. images via style.com

Prada LOVE

i mean, could it be any better? the raceway theme displayed in cars and fire-like prints is so expectedly quirky and beautiful. Miuccia Prada is always full of contractions and has perfected the exquisite balancing act of mature but young and fresh; sweet but aggressive and totally badass; exposed but covered up and proper; effortless but completely fashionable and special. 

the shoes and sunglasses? yes, please! what do you think? are you a fan?

live from the runway

Hi guys, If you're not in New York or attending the shows, you can still watch them live! Very cool, right? Maybelline is streaming Mercedes-Benz S/S 2012 Fashion week until Sept 15th. Watch here! Pretty amazing. :-)
