Heart it: For Fall

Art Girl meets Working Girl. Totally my cup of tea here for Karen Walker Fall 2013. Sounds from The Damned and the Souixsie Sioux took over the runway. Imagine little miss downtown with her headphones off to her 9 to 5 job, so of course her saving grace is the music blasting and the outfit that she put on for the day. My favorite was this pink all over look, sported with cool girl shades, a fuzzy snow cap, and a no frill pink dress. I couldn’t help but obsess over the bow suspenders that kept the girls dresses up. That’s right, a working girl’s got to hustle. The collection was filled with lots of a-line dress, I am so into this shape for right now. Large Hounds tooth plaid and pinky tweeds were the statement fabrics. Total utility girl-meets-romance, not an easy thing to pull off. But miss Walker makes it work effortlessly!

Fave Looks: Chris Benz Fall 12

8.14.2012

Getting in the mood for fall, especially in a festive way when it comes to this collection by Chris Benz. With glittery pieces and oversized bows in the mix. Proper lady meets nightclub extraordinaire. The collection as a whole glamorized a time-period where it was all about the art of dressing up. I couldn’t help but be smitten with all the reds, yellows, and oranges mixed with creams and beiges. Adding a contemporary twist to tea length dresses to make them feel new again. A great deal of mixing of textures, where exquisite fabrics such as leathers, tweets met the ultimate fancy of tulle and sequins. The outfits were styled in somewhat of a disorderly way, as if the lady herself spent hours and hours planning her outfit. But then all of a sudden she looked at the clock and it was time to go! And nothing but to throw on her clothes and run out to her fancy dinner date. And yet still look extremely splendid indeed. What I love about this collection is how Benz took these elegant ladies and added some whit and quirky amusement.

Fave Looks: Corey Lynn Calter Fall 2012

2.22.2012

Obviously…..if you follow this blog at all, you know I’m a big fan of color! So but of course I am totally smitten with Corey Lynn Calter’s Fall 12 collection! Which was a kaleidoscope of brights, pattern and shine!!! A perfect mix of retro and ladylikeness. Fur collars, matching suits, pleated skirts, sequined dresses, floral printed satins were presented to us on a color-blocked background. Ms. Calter is also a FIT graduate, so as one myself too…..I definitely give her a high five for this collection!!
