Goodbye Marc Jacobs: Louis Vuitton S/S 2014

Anyone else notice this completely over the top amazing carousel at Louis Vuitton? 

All black: so good!

I'm sad to see Marc Jacobs step down, I have loved so many of his collections for LV.

End of an era...

XOXO

Madonna in Paris

I found this to be pretty spectacular.

I needed that dose of decadence!

Spring 2011: Dior Couture

John Galliano knows how to do that 40's-50's era so well. The contrast of a woman dressed in the softest pastels, with a face so sharply defined it could put Joan Crawford to the test! For me the most exciting item from this show was that blue hat. It is abstractly bird like, but at the same time it really does look like someone just drew it on top of her head and gently washed it with water colors. Amazing! I also had to throw this yellow strapless number in there. Nobody does classic couture like Dior.

I Heart LANVIN!

For my credit card's sake it's probably good that we don't have an H&M store in town. 

I love this ad campaign, including the super fun video, it's like something I would want done for my own collection.

The accessories are right on, the dresses are a cocktail party dream and the shoes are calling to me.

So French, so avant garde, so overwhelmingly delicious!

Old Money-High Style: DIOR Couture 2010

I am such a sucker for anything John Galliano. In my opinion he is a genius and he knows how to pile on the glam sky high. In this collection he featured so many of my favorite elements: equestrian, veiling, top hats, spats, lace, tear drop crystals, volume, and of course color! Here are my favorites:

 

Oh to have that hat!

 

The craftsmanship of this dress is amazing

 

LOVE these boots

 

Fushia opera gloves in leather- oh yeah!

 

Amazing hat- beautiful earrings

 

This was my favorite makeup look of the show...perfection!

The Future is Now: CHANEL Couture 2010

I love couture- I mean who doesn't? I've been hungrily browsing through all of the Paris highlights this week and well, I had to say something about Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld in all his evil genius has dreamt up a future that does not include black lyra, patent leather, or studs. Not that I don't enjoy that look when done in the right way, however; it's been done to death. I like that, in all of this doom and gloom, Chanel is offering up a collection that is totally modern and all about romance, soft colors, and sparkle. Obviously he's seen the future and it isn't 2012!
