My Love for Lindsey Wixson is Endless...

Lindsey has graced editorials in almost every magazine possible. her latest spread in Harper's Bazzar March 2012 was beyond words. After having spreads in all the Vogue's possible like Italia, British, Japan and China, now she hits again in Vogue Germany wearing Spring/Summer 2012 collections from Prada, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana, and Versace. check out the amazing spread by one of my favorite photographers, Terry Richardson. what do you think? xo

Who, in What, showed up to Fashion Week (fashionably)?

Well. Fashion Week is officially over. style.com had its own official video fashion week that covers all the highlights of fashion week. of course, it wouldn't be fashion week unless there were multiple celebirty appearances. They draw wanted attention to the designers and make grand entrances--all decked out in their high fashion. check out my favorites from last month.

Mila Kulis at Christian Dior | PFW


whats amazing? her classy nude lace dress and matching heels. the trick? a crisp white coat that pulls the look together. the bonus? her amazing ombre hair.

Olivia Palermo at Christian Dior | PFW


perfect to the extreme. no words. this is effortless chic right here.

Katy Perry | PFW

of course. Her trip wouldn't be complete without going to Chanel. not only did she go, but she scored a picture with Karl. 

rocking that new blue hair she has been sporting all year! despite her divorce, she showed up to Yves Saint Laurent looking incredible

till next year...PFW Fall/Winter 2012 Round-Up

Its now the end. well, until next year. the F/W 12 season was full of creativity, excitement and of course fashion <3 and as usual Paris Fashion Week puts a nice wrap to everything ending with the most well-known designers, most celebrity appearances, and the best of everything! as usual when i do my Round-Ups, here are my top 8, enjoy!

1) Lanvin
Needless to say more. it was a spectacular show. end of story. (literally i am so stunned, i have no comments) ill let you judge. see for yourself.




2) Chloé
Chloé was filled with soft pastels and clean lines. it was a breath of fresh air because a lot of designers now just overwork everything and it gets to cluttered. this stayed true to the ascetic. at the beginning of first viewing this collection on style.com, it immediately caught my attention because of how 'unique' it was. I felt like the lady that was trying to be achieved through this collection was a sexy yet confident lady. there are some looks that have some sexiness and appeal to more people that i wish was included a lot more. but i'm still happy with the overall collection. i mean, com'on, it is higher on the list than McQueen and Chanel!




3) Alexander McQueen
Again, i thought i was impressed by McQ. This just blew me out of the universe. The shoes were a twist to the classic and original McQueen. I was surprised on how Burton achieved this sense of warmth with this collection with the fuzzy textiles. finally something original! instead of going the usual route of fur, every single piece was a masterpiece itself. just one little complaint though. the hair...it could have done better.



4) Chanel
It is official. Chanel has made eyebrows the statement accessory of the season. the bedazzled eyebrows were the focus of beauty and left the hair in a classic long ponytail. Karl always manages to come up and make something new every season, and this was no exception. The set was amazing (as usual) with gemstones all over the place! AMAZING :*



5) Stella McCartney
The purple lashes were so cute and simple! Stella always manages to embody this strong powerful, yet sexy at the same time women through the clothes that she designs. The coats were some of the most beautiful parts in the collection. The royal blue was a stunning and standout color to use. The embroidery with white and black added class to the models. I was thoroughly impressed with this collection. and again like i said in my LFWF/W12 Round-UP, maybe she is stepping up her game because she is helping design for the Olympics? anyways, she does sporty chic well and should keep doing it.





6) Jean Paul Gaultier
He took inspiration from the streets of downtown. graffiti. It was evident in the hair and makeup as well as the clothes (duh). one pet peeve that i have with this collection is that i hate it when designers have their names either embroidered or 'out in the open' because i feel like it presents the brand as 'cheap' even though  it might not be. (which is why i'm not a big fan of Michael Kors). A variety of colors were present creating an amazing rainbow of colors. But the models walked like they had an attitude and a purpose.





7) Anthony Vaccarello
Sexy cut-outs and metallic textiles made this collection one to remember. as a newcomer into the fashion world, his collection this season focused mainly on tailoring. and thank god! because one of my favorite looks- suits- were starting to disappear from the runway, giving me a mini panic attack. The Vaccarelo brand is a modern and chic new brand that will very soon become a household name.





8) Balmain
EEKKK! This collection was so cut-to-perfection. one thing in collections that always win me over is the use of unique textiles and amazing details. I love the combination of a simple black legging with a gorgeous embroidered top that probably contains around 1,500 pearls. I think they have developed the 'Balmain Jacket' -- a boxy and oversized sweater with amazing details and embroidery. 




and there you have it... my PFW Fall/Winter 2012 Season Round-Up...what did you think? leave your comments or message me :)
