Prada continued on with a 60s mod style, but in a much more subdued pallet and some truly funky spins on old classics. The off-beat plaid, the purses clutched tight, those crazy shoes, and the mesmerizing finale dresses; these are all reasons why Miuccia Prada is such a sartorial genius! She's able to pull references from a cool sixties London and...
the mod squad

I can't believe I missed it somehow (probably when I was on my trip last weekend) but today I finally got around to seeing the Philosophy fall show and promptly declared it one of my favorite collections. The pastels for fall, the girly-mod 60s theme, the opulent but subtle details and patterns...I'm sure I would have swooned had I been there during...
Tight-Rope

If only I had waited another day...the Fendi collection was today and of course after already writing my piece on Blair I noticed how many of the clothes screamed old-school Blair, especially with all the colored tights and the headbands, of course.I always love Fendi. Their clothes are fashion-forward without trying to be too trendy, which I enjoy....
'W' is for Waldorf

As you all hopefully know, I have a deep obsession with Gossip Girl. As of lately, of course, that obsession has been dwindling. I don't really understand the whole Bass Industries/Thorpe feud and all the business deals (writers, may we remind you that the majority of your viewers are sixteen-year-old girls like myself who have little to no interest...

Orange You Glad You Didn't Say Banana?

Orange has been gaining momentum this spring, but I think it's really going to hit off in the fall. Almost every major runway presentation showcased this bold hue. Here are some looks featuring the color so f...
Fur-ocity
| comments
Apparently we'll definitely be prepared for a nuclear winter next year, because fur- and lots of it- was everywhere. PETA may not be too thrilled, but at least the models stayed warm. The most popular fur item was of course the fur vest. Here are some of New York's finest fur vests:A Detacher; Dennis Basso; Halston; Micheal Kors; Rachel Roy; The Row;...
right past the fireflies that sleep in my heart

Did you see the Rodarte show?Did you also fall in love?I'm really digging the whole 'pastels for falls' trend showing up, with a few splashes of ultra-bold colors. Also, I really like the longer hemlines and general modesty of Rodarte's collection. Still, they add girly touches that make their clothes look cute and sweet, not frumpy. So far the...

he's the perfect image of simplicity, he has aims in life - and knows how to deal with it. he has the idealism in him, and knows how to defend his thoughts, even the most radical one. he's such a thinker. he knows how to discover and develop gifted talents. he's a musician - he sings me beautiful melody. Also, he's a man of letters. he versifies hundreds,...
Love is in the Air

Now I know this collection won't hit the stores until late summer, but it feels like Prabal Gurung had Valentine's Day on his mind. Just look at those red hues!But my favorite look was this:it seems like ultra-minis are giving way to more modest dresses, which personally I l...
Which Way to the Ocean?
| comments
"Which way to the ocean?" It's the most common question I get asked by tourists in the summer. Which is funny, because it's like, DUDE! The ocean is right there. Like you can see it from my house. Just keep on walking.The reason for that seemingly unrelated story is that the March issues are coming out and apparently tourism is the trendy thing...
That New York State of Mind

Can you believe it? It's still a bit too early to start wearing those spring purchases, and yet we're already plunging into Fall Fashion Week/Month. Already I've seen some great stuff from the earlier New York shows. Here are some of my favorites:From left to right: Gary Graham; Jason Wu; Luca Luca; Rag & Bone; Wes Gor...
Periwinkle the Platypus!
| comments
Seriously. They should have made Perry the Platypus periwinkle, not blue. That just doesn't make sense.Anyways, as usual, pastels found their way onto the spring runways, but the dominant hue of the pastel range was certainly periwinkle.Marc Jacobs Resort 2011; Versace Resort 2011; Chanel Spring Couture 2011Are you planning to get your periwinkle on...

Another beautiful warm day in sunny San Diego!

She's Got It Down
| comments
A week or two ago I wrote about how cool Hailee Steinfeld looked at the SAG Awards.Since then she's found a much-deserved spot on my small list of celebrity style icons.For someone who's only fourteen, I'm quite impressed. She's managed to chose fun, fresh, and age-appropriate looks for all of her red carpet events. She's a perfect example of how you...
