Anna Sui

prepare to be blown away with bohemian perfection via:
ANNA SUI SPRING 2011 RTW
really i can’t say that THIS collection isn’t my favorite of all the lines from this year’s NY Fashion Week. i had the toughest time narrowing my selections down to a reasonable number because all 50 looks are that boho brilliant!
i’ll always be a gypsy girl at heart and these outfits just call my name!

the show’s standout details:
runway backdrop, the slouchy boots, feather head-ware, lace, pompoms, fringe, socks with sandals, chunky necklaces & indian inspired necklaces, the shorts, and the prairie princess that ended the show with bouquet – all around gorgeous!

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?

SUNO

i must say that after perusing through the designer’s shows from the Mercedes Benz NY Fashion Week, Suno is my favorite! really loving both Spring 2011 RTW & Fall 2011 RTW mostly due to the patterns and layering but also the SHOES [and via my last post, we all know that’s a big part of outfits for me]

Fashion Week Shoe Stalking

courtesy of Refinery29.com
don’t know if you know this about me but-I.LOVE.SHOES!
it’s unfortunate really because i can never wear most the shoes i truely love: heels, wedges, platforms, etc due to foot surgeries and a knee injury. though i do not need any added height, occassionally i would like to be able to pair my outfits with heels as it really livens it up (as well as makes me feel more feminine) but i can only wear what i can, and so i continue to shoe stalk via photos//
leandra-medine-leopard-shoes-mark
The Man Repeller Leandra Medine’s leopard print Miu Miu platforms.

the mix of patterns, cuffed jeans as well as the jeans themselves-the stripe detail is pawsome!
shoe-stalking-wendy-wallace-phillip-lim
In Style‘s Wendy Wallace’s 3.1 Phillip Lim wedges.

My FAV,
what i love:

rachel-comey-by-ryan-koopmans-1a

what i love:
the wrap around at the top and little ‘shield-like’ piece it makes
SEE.ORIGINAL.POST

aside from the shoe trend in this post i just realized another: shorter pants (all skinny) and most have either a zipper or rolled up. these trends i am all for!
regarding the shoes themselves-though i reallyREALLY love i could not wear [most] of them due to heel height, nor could i even afford-haha
..but like i said, i do love shoes and these make my heart pound a little harder.

thanks Refinery29 for all the feet stalking during FashionWeek for those of us who can’t make it, one of these days im hoping to be there behind a camera shooting my own photos!

hope everyone enjoyed their Valentines Day! i really wanted to do this post seeing as how it involved LOVE-even though its with an article of clothing and not with a significant other..but i was surprised with tickets to the Georgia Aquarium and was too busy. the boyfriend and i had a really nice day which included a yummy picnic and lots of bike riding as we rode all the way downtown to the aquarium-which is outstanding-totally recommend to all Atlanta visitors and residents.

tonight we are doing the restaurant thing as we opted out yesterday and just made a really nice meal at home, so the LoveDay celebrations continue.

this week i’ll be doing more posts of my fashion week picks, wanted to have time to browse through all my favorite designer’s lines before posting-there are LOTS of goodies
**stay tuned!**
