Alexander Wang Fall 2010 Campaign

I

Miu Miu Loveee

I cannot get this Miu Miu collection out of my head, I literally would want anything from the collection, I thought it was all pretty and wearable. My favorite parts were the patterns and the shoes, thus I drew these two pictures. I drew them using pencil and marker. To view them larger, just click on the image!

Dries Van Noten F/W 2010

I always love the clothes from Dries Van Noten, but I especially loved this collection. I felt as though it was extremely wearable, and I could see myself wearing many of the looks and pieces mixed in with clothing I already own. I especially liked the slight utilitarian feel that I noticed in the first pieces of the collection, but as the show progressed there were more decadent eveningwear pieces. At the end I loved the idea of wearing a loose fitting t-shirt with a fancy skirt, I love the way they balance each other out. Some of my favorite parts of the collection were the details, such as the straps at the bottom of some of the pants, as well as the mixing of fabrics.

These are just some details fromt the collection, they really help to see the fabric close up, as well as the beautiful florals and beading.

These are the shoes fromt he collection, which I felt matched perfectly with the clothing. I especially like the shape of the chunkier heels, and I feel like they would look great with pants or a skirt.

The bags from this collection were extrememely luxurious, I loved the use of color. I also loved the larger bags which could work with any outfit and be used everyday.

Lastly, I thought the sunglasses were very interesting and took some photos and made them into this collage. To view it larger just click on the image. They have such an interesting shape and are something I would wear.

Haircut

I have been very busy with AP exams coming up this week and have not had much time to post anything. However, recently I did get a haircut. I used to have very long hair but have gradually gotten shorter by several inches. But, the last time I went to the salon I decided just to get it cut shorter. These pictures of Freja Beha and Alexa Chung were my inspiration for my haircut. I wanted bangs like Freja's but they didn't turn out quite as I wanted. So as soon as it grows out a little I am going back to get them cut. I will definately make sure to take the first picture with me, as I did not when I got it cut. I think this would help get the bangs just right.

Balmain F/W 2010 Favorites

These are my favovorite looks, i loved the color palatte, the golds and blacks with some reds and purples. I especially liked the gold brocade fabrics, a really nice brocade piece can instantly dress up an outfit, I have a gold brocade military jacket that I love along with a purple brocade skirt that is great as well. As always I loved all the jackets and mini dresses at Balmain. To see the video of the fashion show go to my Tumblr, www.fashionfiles.tumblr.com to view it. All pictures are from Style.com.
