And the Milan Fashion Week has started...

joining the military

studs, chains and the military by crysta17 featuring Roberto Cavalli accessories

Thrifted a real military jacket a few days ago with a friend. It's wonderfully oversized and warm. Too warm that I have no idea when and where to wear it as summer has come early in the country. Oh and speaking of military jackets, there's lots of them in Burberry Prorsum's Fall 2010 collection. Makes me love them all the more. Ha!

Still, the Balmain military jacket in this set is really lovely cool.

Stacking up on these basics for the summer. Yey for summer! :) Or that is, until I finish the portfolio and everything else.

Meadham Kirchhoff LFW 2010

The headdresses particularly got to me. Sheers and laces are just lovely. I'm easily drawn to the romanticism they display. The mix of animal print and sheer on the last one is just surreal.

Paris 68

Blacks, nudes, sheer, embellishments, laces and fur. Definitely Parisian.

Keeping Tabs on NYFW 2010

Oops! Looks like my last entry was...November 22nd? So many holidays and special non-holidays have passed along with a few seasons. Oh, dear. Gotta catch up, I suppose.

Like most fashion enthusiast, I'm aware the New York Fashion Week has come and I've been keeping tabs of it through style.com. My favorite designers are Diane von Furstenberg and Jill Stuart but fall 2010 collections from Alexander Wang, BCBG by Max Azria, Herve Ledger by Max Azria, Erin Wasson x RVCA, Michael Angel, Preen, Rag & Bone, Rad Hourani and Vena Cava caught my attention. And as my style.com lookbook list gets longer, I thought it best to share some of my favorites.

Alexander Wang

Particularly in love with the third and last one. The way the sweater's sort of draped on the third is lovely whereas there's a lingerie feel on the lace details on the last one. The take on the traditional suit on the second is surreal. Definitely Alexander Wang.

Erin Wasson x RVCA

The fur coat on the last is lovely, really lovely. (How I'd wish we could wear it here but with the weather transition from spring-ish cold to extremely hot summer, I don't think we could. Ever.) Love the oversized-ness of the top on the second one. Layering on the third is just indescribable---love, love the inner shirt. The ethereal long white dress on the fourth makes me want to find my own.

Rag & Bone

Fell in love with the first and fourth one for its sheer-y loveliness. They look both randomly and strategically put (strategically, especially on the fourth one) at the same time. Is it weird I see it that way? Color combination on the fifth is just rad. Looks as if every shade of neutral colors are there. The second and third's simplicity are what appealed me to them. Now the bandage wedges are especially what I love about this collection. Wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of those.
