Dolce and Gabbana's flower fields

Photobucket
Sorry again for my lack of post an unexpected vacation opportunity was given and I could not pass it up. Dolce and Gabbana of course is always as amazing and beautiful as always. The design house celebrated their 25th anniversary with this collection. When I first looked at it I got a deja vu from last collection but looking more at the details I realized it brought beauty of its own. The lace is beautiful and I like the fact that they used mostly white and certain pieces contained floral patterns which is very refreshing for spring and summer. Have you noticed that many designers opted for a refreshing palette this season. Overall I am very content with this collection. I am anxiously waiting for Paris Fashion Week.

Gucci Safari Outing

Photobucket
I realized that most of the time the reviews I give on collections I like, so I decided to maybe give another point if view of mines. Gucci ss11 is not my favorite Gucci collection at all. I felt the collection wasn't the best from Frida Gianna the genius behind Gucci. The color blocking wasn't the best some of the safari pieces seem like they were out of place. Most of the time I have a million and one favorite looks from the collection and this time I only liked five and that was after much and much looking over the collection. Truth is this isn't the worst collection because of course it still has it's beauty but it isn't by far the the best one. That's why there are new seasons to start from scratch in case last season didn't cut it.

Burberry's Rock and Roll

Photobucket
Photobucket

Burberry being the classic it is I always love seeing what Christopher Bailey has done to reinvent the beautiful clothes. This season was tons and tons of colors and not only that but also animal print which of course has been very popular for the last few seasons that have passed. First of all the dresses that he pairs with the motorcycle jackets are amazing he certainly has a gift for draping I don't think any woman in the world would be able to resist one of his wonderful dresses. Also the jackets which Burberry is famous for, he always finds a way of reinventing it. He sticks with the aesthetics but some how manages to switch the looks. This was a very good collection, I love the addition of color in contrast with last seasons hues, but I did love last seasons boots and nothing can replace my love for those boots.

Marc Jacobs' time travelers

Photobucket
Marc Jacobs skipped the 60's this season and went straight to the 70's, with high waisted pant, big hair, bright colors, high waisted short, and long floor length dresses. Everything about this collection is Big I guess Marc's motto this season was go big or go home. Even though I thought the collection was nice, I still love some of the past collection even more like the s/s 10 collection and f/w 10.

Proenza Schouler's Universe

Photobucket
Photobucket

As soon as I saw the show last night I needed the HQ pictures for Proenza Schouler. The boys are geniuses seriously, were do I even begin here I love absolutely everything I couldn't even pick between the pictures. This collection is for the Proenza girl to be a bit more elegant I guess you could say. The pencil skirts with the tweed like Chanel jackets are perfect for more serious occasion. The skirts that are made of suede I believe are probably one of my favorite pieces and paired with the long sleeved button up shirt it's perfect. Also of you saw the shows most of the dresses and some shirts expose the back which I find extremely sexy. I could go on and on about how much I am in love with this collection, but I won't bore you to death. Anyone by just looking can see how utterly magnificent this collection is everything about it is just plain beautiful. I think this is my favorite collection so far.

Alexander Wang's white sky

Photobucket
Photobucket

Finally I get around to my Alexander Wang review. When I first saw the collection I didn't know what to think about it, kind of why I took forever to write the review. First off the obvious there is no black! Coming from the designer that most collections are dark colors it was a bit refreshing seeing the all this white. I wasn't the biggest fan of the fall collection but I like this one not love it like S/S 2010 because that was probably love at first sight with wang. I love the fabric he used for his dresses it makes them flowy like a lot of the other collections I been seeing but the fabric makes it stand apart. The sweaters of course Wang specialty are as magnificent as always. The shoes are amazing, I am positive hollywood will be flooded with them by december, if i could just get my hands on one pair my life would be completed. After much overlooking it and reading others reviews I come to the conclusion that I actually quite like this collection, another great job by Alexander Wang. On another note did anyone watch the Proenza Schouler show tonight? I forgot to mention it, well if you did watch it did you think it was a piece of heaven? I can't wait for the HQ pictures so I can flood my blog with them of course the boys from Proenza are fashion geniuses.

Derek Lam's Safari Outing

Photobucket
Photobucket

Derek Lam's collection is quite elegant but casual at the same time, it will all depend on how you wear the pieces. The skirts and dresses have longer hemlines, do we thank Marc Jacobs for bringing that back last season at Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs. The prints are also very nice still loving the safari looks which is still being incorporated into these new seasons. The gowns I am in love with, they are so simple yet stunningly beautiful. Am I the only that has noticed that every designer has at least one jumpsuit in their collection, while i'm not so fond of them for personal reasons I think they might be growing on me.

Peter Som's Colorful World

Another take on spring and summer collections is Peter Som's. His collection is for that girl that is willing to have fun with her clothes. His collection has all the essentials for a very fun spring/summer, the print shirts and dresses are amazing and mixing them is even better. All the color are very bright so they pop which is a very lovely look and the textures of the dresses I bet they feel as soft as clouds. Don't forget to check out Marc Jacobs show tonight at 8 pm est on his website, also tomorrow at 4pm est is the Marc by Marc Jacobs show on his website as well. For the gossip girl lovers like me finally after a whole summer of waiting the new season is beginning tonight at 9pm you know I will be watching.

Jason Wu's Dream World

Before this collection I wasn't Wu's biggest fan, sure I loved a couple of pieces that pink feather dress with the green belt, but seeing this collection I am head over heels for him. The collection is so sophisticated everything a modern woman wants it has the very chic and sheer shirt that every woman should have atleast one in their closet. The tailored blazer which he kind of made into an almost trench coat. Lovely skirts that are so elegant and the dresses whether they are for cocktails or a red carpet they are to die for especially the cream one with the colorful details. Wu's collection is everything i'm looking forward to for spring and summer 2011. More reviews to come so stay tuned.

Dream like creatures

Photobucket
Abbey Lee Kershaw, my favorite model ever. I am so in love with this new look, I loved when she had cut her hair for the Chanel ads and she looked identically to Margot Tenenbaum, but this look takes the prize it makes her look incredibly beautiful, and the dark red lipstick is the cherry on the sundae.

New York Fashion Week

Photobucket
pictures via
New York Fashion week has finally graced us with it's presence, of course my little fashion heart is overfilled with joy and happiness because nothing makes this girl happier than new clothes to dream about having in her Carrie Bradshaw closet. The first collection I am in love with is Organic by John Patrick, the collection will be perfect for spring & summer very laid back but still very preppy and did you notice the shoes, I will make sure I get my hands on a pair of those. These outfits are perefect for the girl version of Vampire Weekend's front man Ezra Koenig. Very prepster indeed.

Break out your knits

Photobucket
The dark comes out sooner, the breeze gets chilly, and coffee or tea is a must in the morning. Yes fall is right around the corner, and with fall comes comfy sweaters my take on it is knit ones. They will be my weakness this season.

September, my favorite month has started. Like they say in the September Issue, September is like new years in the fashion world. So many wonderful things happen, Fashions night out in NYC, spring/summer fashion shows which to me kind of bring summer to an end by showing what to expect fashion wise next summer. Also not to mention Gossip Girl starts back up, I am too excited because they will be in paris and how they left off last season i'm sure this season will not disappoint.

Lately I just been wanting to get away, go on a road trip with good friends and just explore the hidden beauties in the small little towns. Go shopping at different thrift and vintage stores, meet new people and hear their stories. Yes going on a road trip is probably at the top of my bucket list.
