Long Live The 90's

      It is said “What goes around comes around” and the same can be said for fashion and its always-changing trends. Rewind to the early 1990’s where denim, flannel, and size XL were king. Thanks to the worlds trendiest stars like Rihanna and Miley Cyrus we have seen a Renaissance of sorts, celebrating the most deconstructed style period in history. Never before had we seen woman covering their bodies in oversized T-shirts, ripped short shorts, and button ups formally suited exclusively for lumber jacks. This grudge trend faded and let way to a brighter, more refined late 90’s but has recently reemerged with a vengeance. I must say, I could not be happier!

Feminine Pastels for Spring

      With spring shyfully making its way into the spotlight we also see designers like Louis Vuitton and Ralph Lauren spot lighting the use of soothing pastels. Powder pinks, milky mint greens, & subtle lilacs were the stars of spring/summer 2012 Fashion weeks from New York City to Paris a few months back and are now starting to pop up like spring flowers in more accessible retailers. Stores like H&M, J. Crew, & Anthropology have all done their own variation of this new, soft spring trend, some pushing it more than others. Although these lady-like colors are somewhat understated compared to their color wheel brothers and sister they still scream the feminine message that designers are trying to convey. Along with the use of these subtle tones an undeniable sense of femininity radiated from most collections shown for spring. Things like girly bell silhouettes, whimsical feather trims, & flirty lace details create the perfect nest for these Easter egg hues to rest on

One Final Blonds Post!

I'M.DEAD.

After much anticipation, The Blonds S/S 2012!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its finally here! The Blonds S/S 2012 collection, and it was just as brilliant as I knew it would be! I felt myself getting a little more sick each time I saw a new piece.All the rhinestones, furs and feathers were almost to much for my heart to handle, not to mention the flawless Louboutin's, each pair better then the next! These two men really deserve some sort of "Best Designers of the Century" award. In the past two years this designer duo has shot straight to the top of my list as my favorite designers of all time and I do not see them going anywhere, anytime soon. It is astounding to me the way they somehow find a way to out do themselves every single season. Truly, these men can do no wrong!

Playboy Bunnies have invaded Fashion Week!

 

I am starting to see photos from behind the scenes at The Blonds S/S 2012 fashion show, which took place just a few hours ago. The Blonds always have a very obvious,  fun,  and upbeat theme to all their collections and this time around it was Playboy. I've mentioned before that this show was the only thing I was looking forward to seeing this Fashion Week and for good reason! Just seeing pictures of Phillipe Blond's jewel encrusted bunny costume and bunny tail Louboutins is almost to much to handle. I can only imagine my reaction when I finally see the whole collection! Knowing that when I wake up tomorrow I will be able to find pictures of my most anticipated show somewhere online makes it almost impossible to sleep. It's like I'm a little kid, the night before Christmas morning. 

Fashion Week BFF's ?

  

I must admit, earlier in the week, when seated next to Nicki Minaj at the Carolina Herrera show, the queen herself, Anna Wintour, did not seem very excited to be in the presence of such a loudly dressed young woman. Obviously, she was forced to hide any hard feelings when seated next to 

Nicki a second time at the Oscar De La Renta show. Only Anna knows if her friendly demeanor was genuine but if its all an act, she could have fooled me. 

Jeremy Scott S/S 2012

The Jeremy Scott S/S 2012 show was to die for! I am gagging over the Postcard mini dress. I think I could cut off the sleeves and around the neck to turn it into a dope tank for next summer. On another note, I'm going to have to do some research into the identity of this male model in order to Google image search-stalk him later tonight.
