Punk: Chaos to Couture.

Just a little taste of one of my fave parts of my visit to New York a few weeks ago. Oh, and don't tell me that this is the least punk thing ever... earmuffs. File as punk love.

Obsessed would not be an adequate word to describe my feelings about this recent editorial in Harper's Bazaar Spain with model Anna de Rijk. Her rebel punk attitude is totally infectious and each of the images above feels so powerful (to me) that I can't help but stare at them again and again. That cat, those eyes, that fringe, those heels; oh my. It kinda makes me want to take my old denim jacket and rough it up a bit a la her Balmain stunner in the top photo...I'm sensing a DIY moment this weekend! File under so bad it's good.

Top Couture Spring 2011

Even though the designers at Lincoln Center in NYC are showing for fall, it wasn't that long ago that the famed couturiers in Europe were sending theirs down the runway for spring. Here is a roundup of my favorite looks from the season, including all the greats.

Starting at the top left and moving to the right, I loved Armani's futuristic gladiator gown, Elie Saab's magical lavender lace gown, Givenchy's restrained pink gown and Gaultier's irreverent combination of a prim evening dress with a mohawk. On the bottom row starting on the left I have Dior's fantastic pink pencil skirt, Chanel's layered nonchalance of an outfit, Valentino's perfection of a cocktail dress, and another of Chanel's lovely looks. File this one under couture envy.
