My necklaces

I've been meaning to post pictures of the necklaces I've been making for the past few months or so. I really like using fabric and chain together, the mix of hard and soft is appealing to me.

I've been too busy at school and work and stuff to make more, but I've had some good feedback lately so I'll probably work on them soon. I'll post more pictures of the new ones soon.

Thanks for everyone's support too! It's always nice to hear positive feedback about the things I make!

I've wanted some high waisted paper bag leather shorts for a while now, and every time I tell someone that they look at me like I'm crazy. And then I found this picture....

So look haters, look how cute these are. However, my hunt for the perfect high waisted paper bag leather shorts continues.....

Nina Ricci Fall 2010

I have really been into Nina Ricci lately, and this season definitely did not disappoint....

I just like this look. The hair and shape of the sweater, it reminds me of Ann Margaret in Bye Bye Birdie. It's a very sweet look, and really playful because of the flower skirt. I am really drawn to the colors, and really, what girl doesn't want a skirt made entirely out of flowers.

I love the ruffles and the elegance of this dress. I love grey, and the sheen on the fabric gives it great dimension. The sleeves are my favorite part, and especially since shoulders are being played up a lot now, this is a great way to interpret it in a flirty, feminine way. I would wear this dress in an instant!

Cropped pants are cropping up everywhere! Ok, excuse my corniness. But I really love the shape of the pants, I wish I could pull off the pleated cropped pants, but alas, I am too short for it. I also just really love the shirt, it's sexy and sheer but not overt at all. Just very feminine and a bit cheeky, which I am all about. A little flirtation never hurt anyone.

I like this look, it's not my favorite from the bunch, but I really like the layering at the hemline of the skirt. And I like the sheer fabric over the polka dots, its gives them a gauzy quality that is really pleasing. I like that the skirt looks like she just hiked it up and gave everyone a wink and walked off.

All I can say about this look is, I want a flower belt. Now.

Balenciaga Fall 2010

Here are some of my favorite looks from the Balenciaga Fall 2010 collection...

I always love the shapes and proportions that Balenciaga is known for. This jacket is a great example of that, I love the rounded shoulders and the cut-outs. It reminds me of armor, but really chic armor. I love the seaming in the jacket and I think it is really youthful and pretty and I would be so happy to have it!

I love the graphic print on this dress, especially paired with the nude fabric. I am really into nude colors right now, so I had to pick this look. I love all the different layers and dimensions of this dress, it gives it an interesting depth, but not bulky. And I love how delicate the look is, but is actually made of leather. The sleeves are perforated to have that sheer, floaty effect, and I love that.

The next two looks are similar, but I love them both! I love the colors especially. And I belt everything, so I would totally wear the sweaters. I am really drawn the the fluted shape the sweaters make under the belt with the cropped pants. It is really 50's to me, and I'm sure you've guessed that I love the 50's. I also really like the linear designs in the sweaters in the fluid shapes they make on the body. And the red pants are just spectacular, totally need them in my wardrobe.

And the shoes in this collection are fantastic. I might sell my soul for a pair.

Dior Fall 2010

John Galliano's inspiration for the Dior Fall 2010 collection was equestrian, and it wasn't hard to tell. But I was more attracted to the less theatrical pieces in the collection...

I think this jacket is beautiful beyond words. The open lapels and big bow in the front are so feminine and pretty. And I am a sucker for plaid, so I love it.

Again, with the plaid, but I am drawn to the pants in this look. I like the color and the length a lot. I think they look great with the sweater boots, but would look equally good with tougher booties and a silky top. I like that this look can be broken up into several different outfits and still retain a sense of the equestrian influence.

It's no secret that I love romantic, floaty clothes, so obviously I love this dress. The draping is beautiful and the color looks amazing on Chanel Iman's skin tone. There is no doubt that this is a beautiful dress.

I like the overt sexiness of this dress. It looks like lingerie but in a sultry way. I love the way chiffon feels on the skin, so I'm sure this dress is amazing to wear. The embellishment is pretty and I love the shape of the bodice, it is very vintage and flattering on a lot of body shapes.

I love this dress so much. I love the color and the cheeky-ness of the sheer skirt, especially that you can see the thigh high boots underneath. The embellishment is beautiful and I absolutely love the vest on top. It is romantic and lovely and I just want to dance around in it and flirt with a guy with slicked back hair.
