I love the structured feeling with the belted waists, plus the burts of color. I especially like that last bright blue mini. Get me it.

Sass and Bide
Is anyone else seriously obsessed with the Sass and Bide Fall 2008 RTW collection? I love the tight lame pants/leggings (what are those?) and the gold glitter and the all-black combinations!

Etro
Etro's Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear collection was fantastic. It was so versatile and fun and beautiful!
Who else could incorporate (what seems like): military inspired pieces...
Russian influence, shaggy coats, little floral dresses...
Business attire...
And then end it all with some Native American meets Sun God meets Angelic fusion (yes, I just made that up.)
What do you think? And what was your favorite collection?

Dear Readers,
(Yes, all 5 of you!)
I apologize for my lack of interesting posts and similarity in outfits. I promise I will think of some neat stuff to write about!
But, first, what I wore today. It's basically like yesterdays with a different top half.
The jacket has a babydoll-type cut as shown in the wonderful 2nd picture (yes, the hunchback one ha). I found it in my closet last night, I vaguely remember getting it as a Christmas present 3 years ago. Yay.
Anyyyyyways, the other day I was reading my dad's Fortune magazine and came across an article called "Busting out of the Botiques." It was an article about fice small business owners who will apaprently be global brands. Out of the five different models showing clothes, Rachel Comey's caught my eye. Rachel Comey showed her first collection (menswear) only two days about 9/11! Imagine how stressfull it must have been for her! But despite the day, she ended up selling many orders to big botiques mainly because David Bowie had been seen wearing her designs. A few seasons later, she decided that she was over menswear and she now focuses solely on women.
She could have definetely taken more risks with her Spring 2008 collection but overall, it was nice in a simple way. Definetely wearable, and most of the clothes give off a spring-ish vibe. The collection considsted of mostly high-waisted shorts, little dresses, flowy skirts, belted waists, florals (obviously), stripes, and pastel colors.
I then moved on to her Fall 2008 Collection. It was way more fun and, for lack of a better term, risque than Spring. There were loud prints, deep jewel-y colors, and funny looking furry things everywhere. It was super entertaining to look at and very inspirational in many ways.
The first two looks in the middle row are my favorite.
Which do you like better? Spring or Fall?

BAM
Sorry for not posting for a while :( Formal was last night, it was okay. Lots and lots of drama, as usual! Here are a couple of pictures from last night.
These are two of my closest friends. Our whole group had about 30 people but I don't have any pictures of the whole group because my camera hates me. Oh and fyi, I didn't change into any sandals. We ended up just throwing our shoes under a table, haha. Oh and I'm in the purple, which you probably already know.
Anyways, I was browsing the Fall 2008 RTW collections on style.com again and came across a name I've never heard of-Rag & Bone. The name seemed interesting so I clicked on it and found a new love. They perfectly combine femininity and toughness.
Their blazers are gorgeous-perfectly tailored and wonderful little buttons.
Does anyone else see a striking resemblance between these sweaters and the ones from American Apparel?
And how cute are the designers?

What's In for Spring 2008
Yes, I am psychic.
Naht. I was browsing style.com and came upon the 2008 Spring Style Trends. They consisted of "bare market"- basically, showing some skin and see through items; "boy meets girl"-androgny everywhere; "hippie revival"-fringe and tie dye; "neon bible"-dazzling shades of green, orange, yellow, pink, blue, etc; "nice stems"-floral everything; and finally "style tribes"-bold african/indian inspired prints. My favorite would have to be the latter. Ever since I got back from India (beginning of this month), my eyes have just been drawn to everything with an ethnic print. It's like the dormant ethnic side to me has finally been revived. I also can't help but to notice the prices of everything printed I look at. I actually bought a top in India for about 10$ converted in this beautiful black and white print. And as it so happens, I was browsing Net-a-Porter and saw an identical printed top for like 500$. Moral of this story: Go to India and buy clothes.

Oh, Proenza
So I have a confession. I used to never really follow fashion shows and all that jazz. Sure, I knew all the big designers and the ones I stumbled upon in Vogue and Nylon, but I never went online looking for shows, etc. But I’m starting to get really into browsing the Ready-to-Wear collections on Style.com. First collection I looked at: Proenza Schouler. I have to say, I never really looked at any of their clothes besides when they had the little line at Target going on, but the collection definitely pleasantly surprised me.
Runway collections always seemed extremely unpractical and exxagerated to me (which they are). But Proenza Schouler's Spring 2008 Ready-to-Wear collection definetely changed my opinion about that. I could totally see people wearing these or variations of these outfits outside. I used to hate the whole tailored look, but I think I could really get into it. If I was cool as Stephanie (writer of the blog boomshakkalakka), I would recreate this looks. But sadly, I am not.
