week: June 13th

Images that inspired me the week of June 13th...
I'm in a bit of a backlog, I'll catch up soon, promise.

I was looking over the resort 2010 (is it just me or isn't it crazy that it is almost 2010?) collections on style.com when I came across Stella McCartney.  I always love what she designs, it has that chic simplicity that I find so pleasing.  She's one of the designers who always looks so wearable and do-able for the regular woman.

My favorites are the deep tartan blue skirt and cardigan, black and white stripe dress with flowers, grey trousers with white shirt and yellow accessories, blue jeans with jersey blazer, and cream shift dress with nubby brown cardigan.

doesn't it seem like fashion week(s) is going on for a very long time.

I won't complain as long as I can come across people like these every once in awhile...

p.s. I got my act together and re-charged my camera so I'll have some pics up soon showing the wedding crafting I have been occupying my bucketloads of time with...

p.p.s. knock on wood I'll hear something good this week about my visa...

p.p.p.s. Funfetti cake, coffee, and a late night with a great friend makes everything A.O.K.

not fall but spring

I know everyone is thinking about fall09 fashions, but I've been looking back at spring09.  I mean, how can we think about fall again when we haven't even had the first buds of springtime?!

Here are a few of my favourite looks from the spring09 collections.

street style: fashion week

the best part of fashion weeks is seeing the eclectic, stylish women come out and play on the streets.

yes and no

I find this utterly adorable and yet crazy conspicuous consumption.

I'll just pretend that someone posed her with her mom's Chanel...

louis vuitton pre-fall 2009

I love this 30s/40s/50s vibe that is coming back with pencil skirts, rich colours, ankle socks and slim cuts, but still with modern touches of patterns, funky furs, sweater capes, sky high heels and an overall sophistication.

new york fashion week

One of the things that I love the most about fashion week is that you see lots of fashionable women out and about and strutting their newest finds.  London fashion week is coming up soon!

Red dress and those cute 50s heels.

I like the strange combination of the avant-gardish dress with those llbean look-alike boot-heels.

Pretty yellow.

Sequin dress dressed down with grey boots.

I like the black crocheted dress with blazer.

Simple and chic.

Fall florals.

Big black blazer.

Simple outfit made funky with a long fuzzy vest.

Comfy but stylish.

Lauren Hutton, I think she's so effortlessly chic and the picture of someone who has aged gracefully.
