Greetings everyone. I like writing this blog. The thing is...I'm at school and... it's finals week. Organic Chemistry is whispering my name in a raspy voice; picture the grim reaper. Or don't; that'll be unpleasant. This is a study break though for sure.
Anyway. I was looking through more pre-falls. I'll start with Vera Wang:
Oh, I like sequins so much. I personally do not have any in my closet because I am extremely picky about sequined pieces. A majority of the time they can be a bit trashy looking. But, apparently I'll just have to go ask Vera for this piece above. The olive-y, gold-y color of the bottom is similar to the dress I posted yesterday from Devi Kroell. Pair it with the light blue above, and the effect is rich and cool. I also like that there are knee socks because my friend Kaitlyn loves to wear knee socks. There is also just a bit of black sheer fabric sticking out from under the dress, a look used a few times in this collection.
Here's another from her Pre-fall collection. I have been loving the long top (usually a thick wool sweater; I live in the tundra) with skinny jeans and boots. This is the dressed up version of that in a way. Such a neat coat. I love the ornamented shoulders and the lack of collar. The look is streamlined, a little serious, but still very feminine.This post isn't very cohesive, considering the pictures above versus the one just below...but there's this dress silhouette that's very 70's, and thus my mom really is not a fan. I, however, would like to sport one come spring. Or else, now with long boots.
Well, I like it. I guess it's because it's fresh and new to me, unlike those generations who actually witnessed this silhouette in its first go around.
I can still enjoy it though right? Although it's true that it may irk the memories of some such as my mother.
Next, I looked at Thakoon. It wasn't as though I saw original silhouettes. But Thakoon showed his take on them and there was something light and refreshing about some of his pieces.
Above, I like the uneven, handkerchiefy sort of hem. It's just fresh and fun. And it's well balanced with a strong ankle bootie.
I really really like this dress. Can I have one? I'm not sure what I'd do if I needed a sweater...but I guess it's only for warm places.
Above, again, another bell sleeve dress. Chanel's Spring 2010 collection was an undeniable standout for Fashion Week. This collection as well is just...shall I say unexpected?
What I enjoy so much is that is so very Chanel, it has those elements of very recognizable, timeless elegance. However, it's new, experimental, pushing boundaries. It's something you've seen but at the same time, it's totally original.
I'm not a fan of the hat, but the skirt and top are scrumptious. They just remind me of a Chanel quilted bag...enough said. I'll leave you with this dress below. The detailing at the neck and collarbone plus the fact that it's worn by Jessica Stam make for an incredible exit.
