Coachella 2012 Week I.

I may have agreed with that statement that every girl at Coachella looks like Pocahontas went to burning man at one point, but that is in the past! At the desert fest this year the ladies took it to a whole other level. Okay, so there were plenty of "vintage" Levi distressed shorts and crochet dresses, but there were a defining few who were dressed a cut above the rest (pun completely intended.) Case in point Dree Hemingway in those totally trashy chic (is that even allowed to be in the same sentence?!) knee-highs or the plethora of Isabel Marant Willow slash Bekket slash Perkins slash whatever the eff they're called now sneakers spotted on every It Girl's feet. And you know this wouldn't be a Coachella post without a mention of Miss Kate Bosworth (the queen of music festival style) rocking some seriously high hemlines. File as so much more chic.

Look of the Week: Fancy Pants.

Taylor's look is totally what I'm feeling right now- a little all over the place, definitely pushing some fashion boundaries (leopard and snakeskin in the same outfit?!) and totally unique. Can I just say that printed pants are my new obsession? File as, oh Mondays.

Fendi Fall 2012.

Although I may be feeling less than warrior-like this week (already being beaten down by a whole lot of work) Fendi's fall collection is just the thing to bring me right back up. Filled with avatar-inspired looks (or should we say that Hunger Games-inspired now?) and fur aplenty, being tough never looked so chic. File as fight on.

Roberto Cavalli Fall 2012.

Leopards and tigers and snakes, oh my. Roberto Cavalli's fall runway was a veritible breeding ground of species, and just like the tiger print rug on the floor (made out of tens of thousands of flowers) his collection was all about the inherent mysterious qualities of the wild. Pailettes that looked like fish scales were actually made of leather. Tiger and zebra stripes on pants were created with sequins. Minks became crocodiles; crocodiles became snakeskin and brocades were made with fur. In the end, it was all about the beauty of nature...and nature never looked so good. File as into the wild.

J. Crew Fall 2012.

After sharing the rather dramatic Marchesa collection yesterday with you, I wanted to bring the look a little closer to reality here with J.Crew's new fall presentation. Unlike those in the past for the major retailer, this one was devoid of any blandness, had a rather funky edge and continued the store's always sophisticated overall look. Not to mention that there were some seriously fashionable pieces that I am dying to add to my wardrobe come fall- specifically that snakeskin pencil skirt and those floral/ink-splotch cropped pants. File as totally wearable.

Look of the Week: Snake Charmer.

Coveting: Snake Charmer.

Of all the trends I've witnessed this fall, there is none that I am more excited for than colored snakeskin. Don't get me wrong- I've always been a fan of snakeskin among others (PETA be damned) but this season I am completely charmed by brightly colored snakeskin, particularly in the form of accessories. Take for example the Zara shoes I was not-so-delighted to realize that the San Francisco store does not have in my size, the Miu Miu bag featured in Vogue Daily a few weeks ago or the Marc Jacobs bangles that would so love to join any arm party. I am definitely coveting each and every one of these items. Whether shown on the runway at Gucci or Prada, or underneath the arm of a style maven such as Ashley Olsen, I cannot stop dreaming about these brights. File under obsession.
