Risto Bimbiloski

I was on the usual blogs today, and came across the most amazing leggings in the world designed by Risto Bimbiloski, I know it's a mouth full. This russian designer started design collections for spring 09 and has the most amazing ideas. His spring 09 collection is based off the galaxy! Fun fact about me I'm very fascinated by constellations and pictures of the galaxy so I was very excited to see this collection. You can buy some of the pretty pricey clothes from the collection here, but for now let me show you my favorites!

gorgeous, I wish I had 300 dollars to spare.

My favorite week(s)!

Sorry bloggers! I've been lacking due to exams but I finally have time to update you on my favorites from New York and London fashion week, Milan and Paris to come soon! Also I have started my own fashion blog (this post reposted there) please follow!

New York favorites: Cynthia Steffe, Oscar De La Renta and Milly by Michelle Smith

Cynthia Steffe had the perfect pastel colors and beautiful fabrics, my love Oscar De La Renta never ceases to amaze me with his gorgeous dresses and my new favorite Milly's girly designs, patterns with the most perfect bows that have a Lady Gaga feel blew me away.

London favorites: Lullea (all time favorite) and Peter Pilotto

Lullea my all time favorite made me fall in love with the vintage feel of cropped jackets, bows, big buttons and beautiful colors. Another new favorite Peter Pilotto won me over with his water color fabrics that are amazing!

Top Three: NYC Fashion Week

Hello bloggers, I promise I haven't forgotten you! I'm back to show you my top three from this year's New York Fashion Week. I feel like I spent so much time just refreshing and refreshing Style.com, but I know you're all with me on that one. I love that I trends that I've seen for Spring 2010, and I can't wait to try them out once warmer weather comes around!


#1. Charlotte Ronson


#2. Erin Wasson x RVCA


#3. Alexander Wang

I LOVED everything about these three shows, and these are some of my favorite pieces from them. I think that Charlotte Ronson's color palette is just perfect, Erin Wasson's effortless boho chic is flawless, and Alexander's Wang sporty but chic looks are perfect for going anywhere in the spring. Some of my other favorites were Jill Stuart, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Anna Sui,and Vena Cava. Now it's off to London, (via the internet, that is) for London's Fashion Week. I will definitely get back to you guys with my favorites! (I'm already loving Luella <3)

Rain or Shine

As many other fashionista's did, Q. and I got to attend New York's Fashion's Night Out the kick off of New York City's Fashion Week. I have been anticipating this night for so long planning and planning and re-planning which stores across New York City I wanted to visit. Finally myself, my roommate from college and Q. decided on having our big and most eventful stop of the night to be Bergdorf Goodman because of the many designers (Zac Posen, Alexander Wang, Manolo Blahnik etc) were supposed to attend along with Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen serving drinks, which was the main reason I was so excited to go, I needed to see my idols. To make a long story short, after waiting in many lines, squeezed together with many fashionista's from all over we did not get to see MK & A or anyone else for that matter because of the massive amount of fashionable ladies and gents at Bergdorf's.
On a side note, the only good thing that came out of it was getting to talk to random people in lines, Q. and I had the chance to meet the Skinny Intern fashion blogger from Miami! She was so sweet and I wanted to share her blog with you, check her out!
After the disappointment at Bergdorf's we made are way from Miu Miu to see Alexa Chung DJ, to Payless to meet the not so lovely Christian Siriano who you could tell was not thrilled by 9pm to pose with his many fans. Finally we all made our way to Soho and Bleecker St which we found much more fun, and much less crowded. Ended in the Marc Jacobs Accessory store spending $$ on wonderful things instead of the official Fashion's Night Out tee that was sold out in .2342 seconds. Disappointing.

Overall I was not a fan of Fashion's Night Out, very disorganized and very unrealistic.

Some pictures to sum up the night:

Fashion Inside Out

This post for me, is way over due. Last fall I got the opportunity to meet Project Runway runner up Daniel Vosovic and have his latest book Fashion Inside Out signed. Daniel or as I call him "Danny V" (yes I have a pet name for him) is one of my favorite designers through out every season of Project Runway so I was extremely excited. During his book signing he talked about his new book, and what got him to where he is, and what he is planning to do. Honestly it was eye opening to me to listen to him tell his fans about studying abroad, learning from different internships and how he is still learning being a new designer in the fashion industry. I stayed after the book signing to try and steal some more one on one time with him to talk more, which I luckily got along with my two friends. He mentioned how crazy the industry is and how anyone aspiring to be in it needs to work hard and want it. I then asked about interning with him and his company, which he was then nice enough to give an email address and information about someday working with him, you can imagine how excited I was. I still am in contact with his assistant and still hope to soon intern with him, it would be a dream come true.

For now I would like to re- celebrate my meeting Danny V with telling you bloggers that Daniel won the All Star Challenge for Project Runway last Thursday! He made a gorgeous mini collection that was edgy and sporty and included all my favorite colors: black, white and royal blue! I'll leave you with my favorite photo of him in the his book, and the cover of his book. Everyone should go get a copy inside he teaches you how to make patterns, sketch, and about the industry in general! It's a great find.

Modern Day Twiggy

Since the 1960s Twiggy has been a fashion icon in both the UK and the US, but who is becoming the modern day Twiggy? I vote for Pixie Geldof, sister of Peaches Geldof. Not only is her name Pixie, but she's rockin' the pixie haircut just like Twiggy did, but what's different? The style, the clothes, the colors. Here's a recent spread from Vogue UK September 2009 Issue:

Loving the leather, black and studs. I can not wait for fall to try and recreate these looks!
