Prom Post #1

So prom is in May... I haven't decided if I'm going yet, because my #1 reason would be to get a dress... so why not use this as an excuse to look?

This Donna Karan dress literally takes my breath away every time I see it. Epitome of elegance, and I actually love the color.

Oh, Calvin Klein! Your love of neon almost matches mein! Haha I would lovveeee to show up in this baby. (With the gloves, of course.)

I see a lot more of these posts in the near future... especially as the Fall 08 shows continue in London! (Look at Yigal Azrouel and the Paul Smith Women's collection!)

(Both of these dresses are from the pre-fall 08 collections)

Sartorialist

The Sartorialist is on Style.com for the F/W shows and among others are Nina Garcia and the ever-present Carine!! (french Vogue editor, love love)

but here are my faves:


I love the first girl's jacket and fresh approach to Converses and the second girls hair/fur. So cool!

Alloy

Alloy is a slightly more expensive version of Wet Seal, basically, but they occasionally have cute things on sale. Therefore, I was on their site. As usual, I got distracted by bathing suits. Until I came across this:
In Seventeen magazine a couple of years ago, they had a survey about how girls felt about their bodies. I don't remember the exact number, but they had a question about "do you think being able to see bones/ribs is beautiful?" aka being so skinny (like this girl) that you can see your ribs and a surprising percentage of girls said YES, they do think that is beautiful, and something they should strive for. That's sickening. So, ALLOY, maybe you should read that and stop putting superskinny models where thousands of teenage (and younger) girls will see it, and think that's what they need to be. Go get Sarah Ruba instead!
