My favorite thing about fashion school is the outfits. Is that sad?

A girl from in my sketching class was wearing an outfit similar to the one you are seeing above and I really liked it so I thought I would create a duplicate to show all of you. The girl is from Taiwan so I'm really hoping she brings in some cool outfits from across the globe. I really like Chino pants for woman and I think Gap has an awesome pair on the cheaper side or Current/Elliot has a really good pair too if you want to splurge. I love this outfit!

I don't even want to write a review on Alexander McQueen because I don't want to take that joy away from LB because I know this is one of her favorite lines. Let me just say it was breathtaking artful garments. To see what I mean just look at the picture below. Sarah Burton really put in the detail that the late Alexander McQueen would have done himself.


Chanel was full of chunky heels, chunky sweaters, and chunky jewelry. Almost every piece had some type of tweed on it but this collection felt more office appropriate than a ready to wear line. I really liked the dress below sans the leather legs. I thought that was one of the edgier pieces in the collection.




I think I can honestly say that I would wear every single piece in Valentino's newest collection. Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri created absolutely beautiful silhouettes for this collection. Every piece was extremely feminine and delicate. I loved also that each of the pieces was transparent and that added to the delicacy of the garments. This is definitely one of my favorite collections for Spring.

The jean thing

Jean shirts, jackets, and skirts were cool back in the 90s but as they say in the fashion world, everything comes from something in the past. I'm still not digging most of these looks, but I do like the Rag and Bone button down. Be careful with the kind of jean garments you wear because you could look outdated (kind of like the Chanel looks). I would go for something a little less obvious like the button down if you're going to do it.

Chanel kicks off 2011 Cruise Wear

I hate to say it, but I'm a little disappointed by Chanel's 2011 Cruise Wear in the 87 looks they put together. I'm seeing some karate inspired outfits as well as Native American and maybe a little hippie-esque ones too but I'm really not feeling it. It's a too-literal interpretation of all the looks. There were a few looks that I did like, however, but for the amount of pieces they had, I'm surprised I didn't like more.

I love these fierce knee-high gladiator sandals and the new take on tweed.

I'm hoping their Spring 2011 show is just as good as their Fall 2010 show. I'm expecting big things.
