Thank you FASHION TOAST!!!

The always-amazing Fashion Toast has found new meat: Jak and Jill! The Sartorialist-like site has editors, buyers and models in their Fashion Week garb.At Paris Fashion Week S/S 08 I think, maybe F/W 08... Carine looks great, of course (Maison Martin Margiela suit?), but look at her assistant- adorable outfit, great shoes... it must be awesome to work for Carine, but can you imagine the pressure?
Following in her mother's footsteps, Carine's daughter Julia Restoin Roitfeld carries on the family tradition of looking top-notch at Proenza Schouler's NY SS08 show in Roberto Cavalli and Balenciaga shoes. (I'm probably biased do to my unhealthy love of fringe....)

Miss Bruno's Scarves-ish

Miss Bruno's is a new find! Love it so much! Their scarves/neck things and are adorable.


"Marie Genevieve"
Classic glamour
But would I look ridiculous?
Yes I think I would.
The model pulls it off nicely though...
























"Jackie Bo"
(Picture taken in a subway station? Isn't that kind of American Apparel of you, Miss Bruno?)







"Sketches in Dakar"
Love that name
And the colors
(There are other color combos available)











And now off to do homework -- Waiting for the weekend so I have time to catch up on Paris Fashion Week

Favorite Entries!

Here are some of my favorite (somewhat recent) entries from my favorite blogs! Enjoy...

Ma Petite Chou looks at an overlooked aspect of Miu Miu's collection
Kingdom of Style brightens the day with colored heels
(wow I'm in a bit of a shoe mood)
So to continue with that... Nordstrom's having a massive shoe sale! Massive, I tell you!


Fashion Toast looks great in Forever 21 (something I've never managed to do).
NYC is where I want to be! (Actually Paris)

And maybe I'll buy February Vogue Nippon just for the shoot that includes this photo:















And finally, if you want to be mad at fashion, read this article!
Ali Michael, I love you!

Gap?

While browsing Gap's website, I came across of an instance of taking the animal-print trend a little too far.

While swimming, you, too, could look like a giraffe.

I know, can't wait for summer to wear that to the beach...

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!
