Oh Hello There....

Sorry friends, I have been away in the throngs of a fashion week and other sudden life changes induced mess for way too long now and neglecting this here space. I miss it and am trying to get out of this here head space as NYFW is winding down. Do you know what might do the trick? The shearling jacket that walked down the runway at Rodarte yesterday, in fact I'll take the dress too just to seal the deal. 

If I Went to the Oscars...

...and had a body like hers, I might have worn this Bottega Veneta Fall 2011 dress that just marched down the runway in Milan.

Paris Fashion Week Runway Roundup

The fashion zoo of has come to a close, of course their is still Los Angeles, Athens and a few other non-fashion capitals, but once Paris is over, it feels over. I know I certainly am over all these runway shots! 

So here's what I thought and of course my top ten. I loved seeing Sarah Burton step up to the plate, and fulfill those incredible McQueen shoes so perfectly. I couldn't even imagine...Of course the only way I could ever wear any of the line is if I was some überhip celebrity attending some out of this world event — but if I was some überhip celebrity attending some out of this world event I would certainly rock a gown made of feathers or butterflies

As for what I would wear not being the latter: give me the cutouts blouses at Miu Miu, the midcalf skirts at Chanel, the satin at Rochas, Valentino's polka dots, Lanvin's long button-up dress, Celine's slacks, Sonia Rykiel's funky patterns and everything Yves Saint Laurent any day...my fave candids to come as well.

Milan Fashion Week Roundup

A wee bit after the fact, but here are my picks from Milan. Usually I am not so into the designers that show in Italy — modern, logo centric, old-money, white sunglasses, tanned skinned, business suit kind of looks that are just so not me. But this season I did come across a bunch of pieces that I certainly wouldn´t mind getting my hands on or at least their thrift store look-alikes. It seems I am either loving something really feminine (hello floor-sweeping florals) or completely masculine (ahem pleated slacks and blazers). Oh and of course I will forever and always love a jumpsuit and I can´t get enough beige, camel, tan, whatever-you-call-it. What are you loving so far this fashion season?
