proenza schouler fall 2011

PROENZA SCHOULER fall 2011

totally cool mix of modern shapes and burn-out velvet {SWOONING} needing bright colors and a uber long pony like two hours ago! sorry for the poor quality of these pictures {really, you must check out the RUNWAY live feed here or there} - i took them via screen shot and they came out quite terribly - i could not stand to wait for the pretty ones on style.com because i NEED-INSTANT-GRATIFICATION.

more awesomeness after the JUMP!

CMC runway

i am honored to say that i had the opportunity to attend the CMC's Contemporary Collections Runway Show for summer 2011 {thank you Kelsi!!} and it was amazing. the breezy fabrics and short hemlines looked fabulous on the concrete runway and it even made me wish for a little more sunshine! 


this show featured six designers - Darling, Blue Pearl {a brand new sports wear line introduced by Allen Schwartz of A.B.S.}, Amour Vert, Eva Varro, Hippietiques and Lindi. each designer's looks highlighted the use of color and pattern for the upcoming season and i am in love with all the CORALS and GREENS that i keep seeing everywhere {how awesome is that coral Missoni-esque sheath!?}!!!  


another aspect of the show that i am happy to say was totally consistent throughout each designer was the presence of SKYSCRAPER heels -- looks like teetering platforms are here to stay {!!!} -- also very dark extended eye make up {which is sort of tricky but i'm working on it...}.


all and all the day was FANTASTIC and it was even more fun to catch up/hang out with Kelsi {Dedicated Follower of Fashion} and Natalie {Pursuit of Cute}!! Thank you girls - and watch out for some more posts from our wonderful day!! x

falsies

i know they've been around for a while now buuuuuut remember when shu umera launched their tokyo lash bar and all of the sudden all the crazy lash jewelry seen on world class runways was available to buy and model whenever...well, i remember, but i also recollect that i was in middle school and they were SO not cool.  since then, however, every time i go to buy lashes a part of me ONLY wants the biggest, sparkliest, most dramatic ones the store has to offer.  sadly, i have never given in to this desire and so have spent the last 13 years of my life wearing boring black falsies.  (maybe it's a halloween hangover but...) the next time i spot outragous eye gems i will buy them and i WILL wear them.  (at least to snap a fewwww pics!)

how cool are these shots?!  happy friday!!  xx
