Worst Dressed Is The Best.

I didn't even realize the Emmy's were actually happening until circa a few hours ago (I don't have a TV so it's not that surprising) and while I could use this space here to rant about how so fucking boring award show red carpets have become (best dressed/worst dressed snore), I'd rather dream about an outfit that I could only imagine walking at the LA-award show circuit. File as maybe one day ...maybe.

This makes me so happy. File as: only Donatella. Brava.

Love Letter to LA

It may have gotten some maj mixed reviews across the board, but if you really think about it, isn't the mark of a truly great, truly innovative show, is one that ruffles some feathers? (case in point Marc Jacobs for Perry Ellis, Alexander McQueen's trash show, Hedi Slimane's first foray with Saint Laurent, etc. etc.)

Besides, why would I want to see something bland walk down the runway when I can have sparkle fringed bralettes and zebra ruffled mini-shorts? Srsly. Speaking of which, I'm going to be the first in line come Spring for those lock necklaces. File as LA love.

Valentino Couture Spring 2013.

Valentino was on the garden-themed bandwagon this couture season, and even Pier Paolo and Maria seem to have their house signatures down pat (see structured sheath with cape, long sleeved tiered lace confection, close cut jacket with matching dress) they offered up a sweetest and most fairy-tale like version of the bunch. My personal favorite was that nymph-like water lilly silk blouson dress that could be straight from another era. Call me nostalgic. File under gorgeous.

What's that Jacket Margiela?

Sorry, couldn't help myself with that title. It's really hard not to think of Yeezy's song every time the name Margiela comes up. While I won't use this post as a forum to vent about the recent H&M collabo with the house (UGH) I did want re-post some of the backstage photos from the most recent couture collection (a backstage occurrence I'm pretty sure has never happened until this season.) Ever the controversial/freaking weird design house, I'm sorta feeling their take on the garden theme that was so present at the shows last week. File as fresh to death.

Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey.

Fantasy:

Reality:

Don't you just wish that Monday's could be less hectic and more, well, glamorously leisurely. Is that even grammatically correct? Eff it, it's Monday.

P.S. Find the rest of the Valli Couture Spring 2013 collection here.

Street Style: Couture Spring 2013 Part I.

Boy, girl, who cares. #NextLevelShit

Do I sense a hat theme trending?

Camel coats = an eternal classic.

Quite possibly the most romantic weather for the couture shows.

Hi!

Recreating look in 3...2...1...

Prada or nada. 

Look who it is! Miss Soo Joo! Kiss, kiss!

Pretty much.

One of my absolute favorite pics from the street outside the couture shows. Perfection.

Oh, Miro. Why do you have to be as cute as a button?

Say cheese.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Fashion Month Roundup: Taylor Tomasi-Hill.

Why wear it once when it's just so goddamn fabulous?

You can never go wrong with a knee-covering hemline and a tiny- little waist to boot.

C'mon, how can you NOT smile looking at this dress?! Also see: TTH in Comme des Garcon shorts here.

 I'll vote for a risk-taking outfit any day over a t-shirt and jeans. #CallMeCrazy

Look Lust: Natasha Goldenberg @ PFW.

Ok, I have been sitting on this post for entirely too long. Can we just sit and contemplate Natasha Goldenberg's PFW Spring/Summer 2013 outfit above. I mean, really, take a moment because this outfit is worth it, period. I'd like to think of it as a chic advanced style Ninja Turtle gone mad, but the one word that it definitely is (in my mind at least) is perfection. I'm thinking this look might be inspiring my studio space, bear with me for this outfit to home decor translation as it might get a little kooky. Stay tuned, kiddies. File away as obsessed.

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink.

With a handful of the New York shows covered (Victoria Beckham and Marchesa to name a few) I feel as if I am lightyears behind on checking out the newest, latest and greatest. Alas, I finally have a weekend with absolutely no plans (other than apartment hunting and trying to beat the heat wave that is making Los Angeles about the same temperature as a convection oven). But in other news... one trend that I am totally vibing on for next spring is sweet Pepto pink. Seen here at the Christopher Kane Spring 2013 show (and at many more; stay tuned) it's the perfect punchy color to make any dress feel so fresh and so clean, clean. File as spring forward.

NYFW Spring 2013: Marchesa.

Just wanted to share a little tidbit of glam today, in the form of Marchesa's Spring 2013 collection. A little Bollywood and a whole lot of gorgeous, the Marchesa gals always know how to put on quite a show. File as needing a little escape today.

Game Changer: Victoria Beckham Spring 2013.

Let me start by apologizing for not being up-to-the-minute on all the NYFW fabulousness. Maybe I was just burnt out after FNO (see the LA recap here) or maybe just too busy with work planning the next big promotion and finding my next apartment, but the last thing I wanted to do this week was pour over fashion week photos. Well, after seeing the Victoria Beckham Spring 2013 collection, the tables have turned. Sleek, sexy, perfect and always on-point, the collection made me want to jump right into spring; thick cable-knit sweaters be damned. So, now that I'm back on track, stay tuned for my loveliness from NYFW because there is no better feeling than a spark of inspiration. File as until the next runway...

---Manday Monday: Pitti Uomo Part I---

Another Manday Monday this week? Sign me up. My Monday isn't beginning exactly as I had hoped considering the plague is slowly taking over my body (and by plague I mean the common cold) but I'm doing my best to convince my body it's not sick... We'll see if my mind is as strong as I'd like to think it is. But while I am still unable to breathe out my nose, I am happy to share the cute boys above, making this Manday Monday just a little bit brighter. File as happy Manday.

-Manday Monday: Menswear Spring 2013-

 

Hmmm...How is your Manday Monday going? After ogling the boys above (shameless flirt), I have to admit that mine is going oh, so much better now. I'm not sure if I could pick my favorite man, I mean look, but I do have a soft spot for a Chuck Bass skinny suit just as much as I do a good neck tattoo. File as happy Manday Monday kiddies.
