Fave Looks: Rachel Antonoff Spring 13

1.29.2013

The Rachel Antonoff presentation for Spring 13 was off the racks cuteness kingdom.  Like walking into a storybook Secret Garden filled with models having a picnic, eating fancy cake, playing badminton and all other sorts of whimsy fun.  The models were wearing a lot of feminine and sporty silhouettes.  Tennis inspired skirts and dresses that were fitted and flared.  The seersucker fabrics definitely gave it that preppy flare on a sun-filled spring day. A super cute tee that says “I am With Her”.  Yes please.  A lot of red, white and blue colors filled the room feeling very patriotic.  Red and white stripes paired with blue and white stripes for a mis-matchy but totally matchy feel. I adored all the hand embroidered of names in red and blue that decorated the tennis shoes + sweatshirts. Antonoff used the first names of the girls that inspired her like Lena Dunham and Hailee Steinfield.  Giving it the “cool girl club” vibe.  The Bass Hearts RA shoes were “I must have all” collection. With jelly style sandals, and also jelly style oxfords…I give it a 10!

 

Back to School: with some of my fave tv characters!

If you follow my Monday Musette column….you know I am a little obsessed with TV characters! I have my favorites who inspire me, and motivate me to try something a little new and different once in awhile!  Here is a few of them, and what a modern day ‘Sydney’, ‘Cher’, ‘Denise’ or ‘Mallory’ would wear back to school this fall with a twist of my own of course!

Sydney from the 1992 Melrose Place was the college drop-out but I dig her floral finds and school girlish beret’s!

 Denise! Love her from the Cosby show and her sense to be able to just pull about anything off!

Fave Looks: Rachel Antonoff Fall 2012

8.28.2012

Getting excited for fall and escaping into storybook land with Rachel Antonoff.  For her Fall 12 collection she brings back a childhood memory of pretending to be sailing at night.  And she takes us back to this imaginative tale very well with her whimsical clothes.  No surprise here, in a very good way. Girlish dresses embellished with sparkling collars.  Prints reflected a delightful trip sailing along a forest of printed leaves.  And how adorable is this little skirt with a coin purse sewn to be a pocket!  That is definitely going on my wish list! Colors included fire engine red, delicate oranges, deep blues and a dark turquoise.  Silhouettes were of high waisted skirts, playful rompers,  40’s feminine fitted tea-length dresses, along with embellished shifts. Hoping to get my hands on some of these this fall, so cute!!
