Santa Claus is Comin' to....the Runway?

Well, not exactly. I doubt we will be seeing Santa walking the catwalk anytime soon, or a model dressed in a Santa suit for that matter. BUT are you noticing all of the hints of the holiday season shining through a lot of the pieces in the winter 2007-2008 collections? I sure am! Take Balenciaga for instance, amazing! The models were all dressed so warmly, with scarves, fur-lined hoods, or a heavy winter jacket! Not only their clothing, but their makeup was perfect, and all of their eyes were shadowed with frosty white. All of the models looked as though they could walk right off the runway, and into a big snowball fight!!!... well a very couture snowball fight that is. There were certain pieces from the Lanvin collection, and the Vivienne Westwood collection that were like wearable, gifts wrapped in shiny paper! Gorgeous, gorgeous, and extremely festive! There are obvious themes of the holiday popping up everywhere on the runway. So get on your winter gear and get out in that snow.. fashionably of course ;)

xoxo- Happy Holidays, everyone!

Get Inspired

New York City. It's my birthplace and the best city on earth. The feelings I get, while walking down 5th avenue around Christmas time, are unexplainable. It is such a warm feeling, and I really understand the world at that moment and all of its excitement. It is this city that I strive to belong to and feel comfortable wandering the streets alone. I love uptown, and downtown, and strolling Central Park after a day of shopping on the Upper East Side. I love taking the subway to SoHo with some friends, and feeling the energy of all the people around. I love the lights in the trees, and the uniqueness that every single person on the streets has. I promise you, I will live there someday. "Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today, I want to be a part of it.. New York!"

It is like a bible for anyone who is completely obsessed with fashion. I mean I won't deny that I read it way more often than anything else for that matter. It is a magazine that is known throughout the world, and the reason for so many successes in the fashion industry because it inspired.

Vivienne Westwood is simply brilliant. Her designs are exquisite. How does she manage to make such a ridiculous combination of fabrics look completely amazing? I, for one, would love to know. She is so inspiring in that she doesn't deny her belief that luxury is so important and she lives the life that her designs really say to the world. “You have a better life if you wear impressive clothes” –Vivienne Westwood

I love Marie Antoinette, the movie, and I was extremely inspired by the intensity of the fashion design. The way the women were so powerful and showed that through their clothing. I love, love, love the idea of Versailles and the luxury of it all. I find these classic looks to be FABULOUS.
