Fall 2010


Browsing style.com I stumbled upon Louis Vuitton and decided to look through their fall 2010 line. I was so happy to see the call back to fifties shapes and I'm loving the all-bearing cleavage. These three were my favorite pieces of the line, and I already recognized one of the looks in Vogue's July editorials.


Soniaaaaaa! How could anyone resist those lovely pom-pom headpieces? If I had the money I'd buy one and wear it every day. I also loved Sonia Rykiel's fall line this season. She played with menswear as models trotted down the runway wearing oversized (and I mean oversized) suits and trench coats held together with big safety pins. Above are my three favorites of the line, they're all sweater dresses but I think it works because she had such a range of them this season!


Vivienne Westwood. What can I say? Who else could effortlessly put mustaches, heavy makeup, and paper crowns upon their models and somehow pull it all together into a whimsical, fun, show? I was at first averted to this line, I thought it was maybe too over the top without any real structure. But the more I look at this line, the more I can see the shapes and the real thought carefully hidden. Well done Westwood.

Any of my friends know, I love bows. I've stayed up late making huge bows to wear in my hair, I've even cut up an old orchestra uniform to make the perfect red satin bow.

As a result, I've been interested in the concept of bowties, and have seen various DIY versions of bow-tie necklaces and so one. So I gave it my own take! Meet my new little friend. A red-velvet ribbon bow carefully attached to a small gold chain. A longer one is in the works, and it can be perfectly hidden under the collar of a shirt to create a feminine, girly version of the bowtie.

Haircuts

Yesterday I went in for a haircut (after four months! My bangs were monstrously long), and I'm so happy to have my layered, teased cut back. Now that my bangs are out of my eyes, I can properly see myself.
