My New Obsession

Prabal Gurung.

I won't go as far to say he's my new Proenza...

but he's close.

Ridin' on the rear.

Cykic Words of Wisdom

Wasn't a HUGE fan of Alexander Wang's spring "sportswear" line...

but his pre-fall is lookin' pretty exceptional.  

So exceptional, that I could use some of these staples in my wardrobe A-SAP. 

Now, I'm sure there are pieces here and there I could purchase from the spring collection, but let's get this straight Wang- We (well I) don't want to purchase $385 tennis shoes, that are probably not even for the act of working out.

Keep it Pre-Fall 2012 for the Fall.

It will do you good.

Circular Vuitton

I wasn't the Biggest fan of Marc Jacobs' Louis Vuitton collection, but there were some elements I TRULY fell for. If it wasn't for the CaROuseL, I think I may have not felt the need to broWse the details of the asSortment, but the stunning pointy heel pumps were BeYond. Not to mention the Snakeskin Leather, which I hear LVMH actually purchased a tannery. A little much, but nonetheless quite the investment.

Jacobs' knows how to put on a show and it's NEVER over the top, unlike Karl Lagerfeld's underwater mermaid terrain.  

Doesn't Karl know merpeople are forbidden to interact with humans?

And, Scene.

Please add Miu Miu to The Aristocrats, because as always Miuccia Prada made me SMILE with her cuLminaTion to fashion wEEk. The intaglio booties, fresh prints and wrapped layers was what I hoped for. 

It was a Parisian FOLK-Lore

A legend I will soon write.

Sorry Kanye, None for You.

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but I LOVE the color white. Crisp, laconic white, I think it maybe my favorite hue.  So of course, I couldn’t resist Phobe Philo’s FORTIFYING Celine collection that came with eXhilarating simplicity, MaSter craftsmanship and a minimal color paLeTTe that included my front-runner shade.

Kanye may have rocked his women’s Celine top last season, but this is one accumulation that should not be offered to the new designer…

Which by the way irks me in all the wrong ways, but we’ll get to that later.

Parisian Pristine

Véronique Leroy

Sonia Rykiel

Véronique Leroy and Sonia Rykiel are two designers that know how to keep it fresh.  The energetic girl inside my stubborn, blunt persona is SCREAMING for these designer’s nonchalant pieces.

A little white and burlappy beige from Véronique Leroy

And some sunny florals from Sonia Rykiel

While Paris has it’s flair for style, Leroy and Rykiel take a step back to relish the fun in fashion.

What Women Want-Mel Gibson Not Included

Alber Elbaz has ALWAYS been on my raDar, how could he not, being the mastermind behind Lanvin? But his creatiViTy in the Lanvin “music video” starring Karen Elson and Raquel Zimmerman made me adore him that much more. This season, as ALWAYS, ElbaZ brought back his classic draped dresses, while easing in statement jewels that by NO means took away from the collection.

He knows What Women Want.

And I just happen to be ONE of those.

"Rockabilly Lord Byron"

Besides Haider Ackerman's Spring 2012 collection being simply stunning, the NEW photowall on Style.com really brought the show to LIFE.  If you haven't checked out this NEW ADDITION, you need to.  The live images make it more realistic, like HD. Yes, it's Computer HD.

I really need to get to Paris, great things are happening that I need to witness not through a photo wall.
