NATASHA POLY AT PRADA, SPRING 2010

Prada is a very hit or miss show for me, every season, so I can't say that I absolutely loved everything in the show (some of it was just plain awkward for my eye). And I'm not even so sure I'd go so far as to say the makeup and hair was very flattering either... it wasn't. But I can say that is is very VERY hard to make Natasha look bad, and not even horribly parted messy pig tails was successful at doing so. I love the little blue outfit she's wearing too! Very dear and very cute.
I would also like to thank PIECE OF PASSION for my lovely awards! I am so incredibly flattered to have received them! It means a lot to me that you thought of me for these awards, and I'm glad that you received them because you are so deserving of them as well!

ATTACK THE PROPHETS

You may (or may not) have noticed that it's been nearly a week since I showed my face on this blog; I'm hoping to get things back on track and start posting again! Inspiration comes and goes, but I'm quite excited that all the spring 2010 clothes are starting to pop up now! I found this editorial on TFS; it features Bregje Heinen and was for Vogue Nippon. I'm just so in love with the look as a whole; the colors, the jewelry - amazing! I would never have thought I'd go for a "Navajo" print, but this just works SO well. Anyway, I hope the holidays are being kind to every one's figure!

MODEL CITIZEN: LILY DONALDSON

Lily is such a beautiful girl, so it's hard to imagine her ever really looking bad - and it's rare that she does! I saved these images to my computer quite some time ago, and I'm having to jog my memory to remember exactly what they're from! I suspect Lily is pictured here in Stella McCartney, at a Stella McCartney store opening... but I can't be entirely sure (I'm way too lazy to go through her TFS thread all over again looking to find out, sorry!). Anyway, the bottom line is that she looks amazing! I think it's great that she never over-accessorizes; she always keeps everything very clean and easy. I really want a dress like this!

GILES DEACON S/S 2010

You can ask all my friends, I'm not ashamed: nearly everywhere I go, I'm toting along some kind of stuffed animal (and if you really must know, a purple and pink fish named Bunny Rabbit is of choice!). Perhaps a security blanket I've never quite outgrown (or perhaps I'm just quite simply insane...), these little plushies follow me on trips, to class, on errands - everywhere! So when I saw the models in the Giles show toting around little metallic dinosaurs, there was an instant connection with the collection! The little dino bags, the shiny party dresses, messy blue hair, and way cool sunglasses all added up to a fun collection that helped erode the seriousness of Paris fashion week. I even like the spider prints! By far my favorite look is on Magdalena; the sheer black dress with touches of gold is to die for. Source is coutorture.

CAMILLA BELLE IN GAULTIER HAUTE COUTURE

If this dress looks terribly familiar, it may be because I have actually posted about it before. The truth is, there are few dresses that really stick in my brain and generate as much love as this one does. This dress, from Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2007 collection was pure bliss for me. I mean, the dress is a total DREAM. It's a little girl's princess dress come true! Now then, the reason I have decided to re-post about this lovely number is because I don't feel I did it any justice in my previous post - these photos show it off so much better! Also, my mother and I have decided that when/if I ever get married, this would look spectacular in white (yes, I plan on having a JPG inspired dress made just for moi!). Anyway, enjoy this lovely dress on dear Camilla Belle. Just don't take my wedding dress idea! =)

COUTURE DREAM

This editorial is so sumptuous and insanely gorgeous, there was no way I could avoid posting it. I would love every single last garment, and I'd wear them all the time! The sequins, the bows, the chiffon... it's just so spectacular. I also kinda want to be living wherever this was shot - fantastic apartment too!

SIRI TOLLEROD AT CHANEL S/S 2010

I certainly have been going on and on about Chanel recently, but that's ok: there are a lot of beautiful things to talk about! Siri is definitely one of my favorite models, just because she is so adorable and possesses a very simple style that is so easily relateable. She looked absolutely magnificent at the Chanel show for Spring/Summer 2010 - I am so absolutely crazy in love with the head piece she wore! The feather piece is just so extraordinarily gorgeous, I'm going to have to be on the lookout for one like it soon!

MODEL CITIZENS

They're tall, they're skinny, they're gorgeous, AND they make gobs of money travelling and wearing amazing clothes. So if that wasn't enough worth envying, here's another: some of them are actually all those things off the runway too! Not all models are particularly savvy when it comes to dressing themselves, but these girls certainly know a thing or two about looking lovely once they've stepped off the catwalk. Magdalena's shoes are amazing, Siri does simple chic, and Lily is classic and gorgeous. Absolute love! My sources are tfs and stockholmstreetstyle.com.

IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS: LANVIN SS 2010

People who know my blog well enough know that Lanvin is my absolute favorite; I consider Alber Elbaz to be a saint. Lanvin was even in my first runway post for my blog (along with Balmain). So I have a lot of love for Lanvin! Did I mention I have a tumblr dedicated to Lanvin? Oh, well I do! Anyway, this past season was no different than the last ones: gorgeous. I've posted the collection before, but it's nice to look at the intricate sequins and beyond amazing accessories - so here they are!
