Milan Fashion Week!

Hello again Bloggers!! I've finally gotten around to rounding out my favorites from Milan Fashion Week, and I thought I'd share one with you - Albino! I really loved the focus on shape with this collection, especially all the A-line, but mini, flowing skirts. Also, the capes and the who prim look really won me over, as well as the wonderful color palette of caramels, creams, blacks and even some light blue. The prints added a really pretty touch to the already amazing collection! Loved it all.

NYFW/LFW

So I'm finally finishing up with NYFW, and wanted to share the Proenza Schouler collection. How can I explain my love for this? This is so so so beautiful. Please, if I ever become a famous blogger send me a pair of those amazing amazing white graffiti skinnies (which are a collaboration with J Brand!). Since that probably won't happen, maybe I'll jsut save money by never buying groceries again. They are so beautiful.




From London I really love the Burberry Prorsum collection, actually, I'm obsessed. First the Spring collection was amazing, and now this. Christopher Bailey, you're great. How did I even pick only six looks???

Be my friend?

Grace Coddington. Since The September Issue just was released on DVD, I watched it for the second time and really loved Grace in the movie, her humor, style, creativity and the way she can put an idea together into a photo shoot truly amazes me. In the movie they show pictures of her when she modeled for Vogue, she's gorgeous. Oh and it doesn't hurt that she's from Whales (the British accent wins it all).

Private Tour

Last Friday I was grateful enough to get a private tour of Barney's NY with my fashion club at school, I really had no idea what to expect because I've never even set foot in Barney's! Our tour guide (Taylor) was a very educated on Barney's gay man that had worked there since 1994. He knew all the in's and out's and told so many stories.

Did you know....

+ Goyard bags started the vinyl monogram, not Louis Vuitton.

+ Alexander Wang worked for the fashion director of Barney's

+ Frederic Malle is a genius? (more about that later)

+ Kid's True Religion jeans are $150 (ew)

+ Barney's discovered not only Seven Jeans, but also Giorgio Armani!

+ Barney's has a very well known selection of jeans, and the employees should be able to look at you and tell you what size, style and brand of jean would look the best on you

+ Barney's started as a men's wear store in Brooklyn that was known for discounted items

Top Picks: Part 2

I told you I would follow up with more of my favorites from New York Fashion Week, and here are the last of my favorite designers in alphabetical order once again:

Marc by Marc Jacobs - once again Marc amazes me, as always. I am in love with the draping of fabrics, the colors (oranges and reds mixed with greys and browns) and the patterns.

Mulberry - surprisingly Mulberry was another one of my favorites, I am obsessed with the luxurious bold patterns, shoes, fabrics and designs Mulberry put together

Oscar De La Renta - the classic ODLR did it again, the sheer dresses of course won me over a long with the fur accents and the gorgeous embellishments
