Layering

LONG SKIRT, LONG JACKET

Today all of Atlanta has work or school off due to an icy winter storm that rolled through last night.  Taking the time at home stuck indoors to work on backed up blog posts, blogger productivity at it’s finest if I do say so myself! Here’s an outfit I wore to a studio visit at the Goat Farm-that post also coming up this week-and to walk around/peruse shops in the Westside:

 Left most ring is David Yurman which is actually my college “class ring” since I didn’t want a real one, Emma gifted me the middle elephant poison ring from the head shop she works at and the right most ring I bought from a jeweler in Tuscaloosa (read about it in this post).

 Love the faux fur on the hood, eskimo Flashy!

For the rest of the day I’ll be staying indoors playing with Flynn and Tater, hanging with the boyfriend who’s doing freelance engineering work (Go Dustin!) and playing with photos in Lightroom. Happy Humpday to ALL!

enjoying the feedback from the Suno post, keep it coming!

wanted to share more of my favorites from this year’s Fashion Week:
ALICE + OLIVIA FALL 2011 RTW
when i first viewed this collection i was overwhelmed with excitement, it truly is ready-to-wear and i would wear it all! the designer’s unique presentation of having the models stand on tables and velvet cushioned chairs, also added to the elation. and can we talk about that crown modeling and ceiling tiles in that room-stunning!

this collection stands out to me for many reasons-first off, the colors. some of the looks are muted with fall tones and others have loud colors that pop, it’s a nice mix. the velvet touches definitely stood out, as well as the fur. much like Suno i am very fond of the gold accents used, even in the tights and props. gold for the win, every time! as for the models they choose, another good mix in this presentation, different shapes and all fit their chosen outfit.
also enjoy the thick cat-eye and fire lips, looks good on each one of them. the shoes don’t really thrill me that much, however, some of them have unique toe shapes-the drastically pointed and square detail are fun.
being a Fall collection its packed with jackets and lovely ones at that, the last one specifically i enjoy. as a whole it’s on the dressier side which i also admire, could definitly see myself in many of these outfits for a fancy date night with my boyfriend. if a favorite had to be chosen overall it’d have to be the plum silk suit with sparkle top, that color had my immediate attention and with the wide-leg trouser and crop top it won me over!
if you HAD to choose a fav, which would it be?
