I wish I could sleep away the day tomorrow.
Sorry for the lack of continuity, I’m busy, tired, and a bit sick. Common colds are my kryptonite. But I’ll try to get back in action soon.
Peace,

I may be working incessantly right now (and neglecting many other aspects of my life)…but I have been reading quite a lot.
What is your favorite book? Mine’s 1984.

Missoni looked to Brigitte Bardot as inspiration for the looks on Kate Moss

Finally need my sunglasses in Boston. It’s about time.

Finally, a designer who has a hyper-modern take on dressing feminine.
For her spring collection, Rebecca Taylor was going for a world traveler vibe, a girl who is cool, carefree, unencumbered. The set was full of floral tea dresses, embroidered tunics, sequins and even some leopard print. In my opinion the big array of patterns was less cohesive than, for example, an Etro collection. I approve of the hip hippie direction she took a lot of her looks in, though the hippie headband may have been a bit of tired overkill. But, she succeeded in doing what she does best, making feminine clothing suitable for the modern woman. I give credit to Taylor, for this task is often retrograded with “feminine” being mistaken for “house-wife.”
For fall, the designer claimed to be inspired by Northern European fairytales. I believe she was again successful in keeping modernity fresh and fun, especially while being inspired by such an interesting medium.Taylor brought on her true-to-self prints that provide the girly charm she is known for. She meshed these muted florals with a more autumnal feel with lush fur vests (faux, I hope), well-cut coats, and contrasting belts. The whole group of ensembles was overwhelmingly polished, almost making me wish for some more of the whimsical feel of her spring set.
Is it any wonder the New Zealand native designer has flocks of starlets under her spell?

This All-American lovely has some consistently impressive fashion sense. I had to be highly selective in which outfits I used, because quite frankly I couldn’t find many that I disliked! To boot, the girl is a supporter of “Friends of El Faro,” a grassroots non-profit that helps raise money for Casa Hogar Sion, an orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico. She’s hosted the organization’s last two fundraisers and visits the orphanage regularly. That’s endearing.
