Oscar the Great

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

Even if Cathy Horyn didn’t include Oscar De La Renta on her list of must-see shows, I bet she will change her mind once she sees his spring collection. It was spectacular and one of the best I’ve seen. No wonder he’s an icon. I thought the hair would be polished and slick but this is even better…I secretly wish my hair looks like this now!Aren’t they exquisite? I love every single piece in this collection.Doesn’t he make you wish he’s your grandpa? He looks so adorable. Can you imagine if Lavin’s Alber Elbaz is your uncle and Karl Lagerfeld is your eccentric cousin? I mean, with a family like that, you’ll never have to worry about looking stylish! Ahh…only in a dream.

Fashion Fever

Monday, September 12th, 2011

Are everyone high on fashion as much as I am? I love checking out all the spring collections so far and I’m liking what I see…I think the trends are going to be collared shirt dresses and sheer cut-outs on the dresses and skirts as well as side slits. The streetstyle is as impressive as ever..as you can see below!Gorgeous Hanneli in a bright side-slit dress! I love her hair too!All these three ladies don’t need introduction. My favorite is the combination of the delicate lace blouse and polkadot pants!1. silk bookmark blouse $110.00 (madewell.com) 2. Bright Necklace Silver $57.00 (weekday.com) 3. Central Park Satchel $70.00 (Nastygalvintage.com) 4. Skyler Skirt $68.00 (Abercrombie) 5. Mark & James by Badgley Mischka ‘Danya’ Sandal $275.00 (Nordstrom) 6. Leonard Star In Tort $160.00 (needsupply.com)Lubov Azria’s way of dressing is full of inspiration. She looks appropriate for her age yet sexy, daring and confident. I always love strong women designers in fashion: Miuccia Prada, Donatella Versace, Jill Stewart, Donna Karen, Diane Von Furstenburg etc. Phobe Philo at Celine is truly an inspiration to me because her designs reflects who she is as a person and what she envisions women to wear 10 years from now. Read more of her interview here.Isn’t Karlie Kloss and Jason Wu so cute together?

Wishing you a week full of style inspirations! xoxoxoxoxo
