Louis Vuitton Fall 2012


the show was like revisiting the movie Hugo, no? well, for me it was and i was a-okay with that. aside from longing to relive the adventures inside the train station, i love the story Marc Jacobs created once again for the LV show. the clothes were so proper and lady like.

pass the mustard, please

when I started thinking about this blog entry (an important color trend), one color came to mind.  muted mustard yellow. 

  
when it comes to color i like to mix color with color, and i'm not talking about [bright] color blocking or the monochromatic-hue-variation-outfit (which i do LOVE) or wearing black, white, gray, neutral with a contrasting color.  i believe that you can wear lots of "color" in your outfit.

to me nothing is better than that true blue levi's denim with whatever color you choose!  

as you can see that mustard yellow comes back and i think it's definitely going to be more prevalent in street fashion as it trickles down from up above

i think in the big picture more and more consumers are going to play with color in a less "statement way"

Blog Entry #3

you know how you think you like certain things and then you are drawn to something that contradicts that?  well i thought i didn't like bell bottoms and then this happened...

i love these Free People pants!  it's such a unique take on the striped-printed-colored-jean trend... the fabric is a yarn dyed linen/cotton blend, and it has a very slubby, soft finish which i love for this retro inspired design

i love being surprised :)

The Lover's Buggin: Part II

Ya wanna know what I think is key for this spring/summer?!  High-waisted, A-line skirts!

Here's the thing about summer in NYC.  You sweat.  As soon as you stop walking, the beads start a'movin... You know what I mean.  So that's why I usually wear loose skirts and dresses in comfortable fabrics like cotton and linen.  Let that free flowing air circulate (that's for you bert!).


For spring you can warm them up with cute cropped sweaters and booties or since it's already 50 degrees out maybe you just head straight for your see-through lace tops :)


In any case, i think this shape is super flattering because a woman's silhouette is to be defined in your clothing not exposed.  Enjoy!

isn't see gorgeous?!

i am a sucker for red heads
