Five days ago John Galliano for the house of Christian Dior Unleashed their fall 2009 rtw collection and let me tell you it was beautiful! According to Sarah Mower, from style.com,
“John Galliano found an easy compromise with a collection lightly based on the orientalism of Paul Poiret, an artistic Parisian craze dating back almost a century. No need for frantic reference-Googling here: The main point of Galliano’s device is that it gave access to the areas of harem pants, rich gilded brocades, and Asian influences in general.” More for the review click here.
I love that every piece was completely chic and stylish, and not too over designed. Sometimes designers create pieces for pure shock value and that’s it. The pieces presented are very wearable and can be translated in everyday life. What do you think? Here are some of my favorites:
The next items I was total amazed by were some on the accessories. I am totally lusting over the handbag! how much do you think that bad boy will cost this fall? I know I want one. . .
Lastly, I had to post about the beauty selection for dior’s show. To me the looks took me back to the 1920’s, the era of the flappers. If you take a look at the head piece which I thought was a cloche hat . . It actually turns out that the artist used hair pins to create the look I was blown away! Then the make-up it was edge, but soft. Check out some of my favs below. You may see a tutorial on one of these looks, we will see, lol.
All in all, it was a fun show to preview online and if you did not get a chance to view it check out the video below!

As you know we will be transitioning to spring and guess what is a hot color from most of the retailers out there? You’ve guessed it, blue. The color blue is used in many ways such as a statement piece through accessories like shoes, handbags, and fashion jewelry. Or, it can be seen worn through clothing. To get you on a head start for the season check out the latest from one of my favorite store Macys & Zappos.
Hot Color: Blue

Okay. . . I am not trying to sale you this but. . . I just went to the MAC store at the Domain in Austin, TX and DANG!! I was in heaven. I thought that it was going to be crowded at the store, but it was not and that was great because I got a chance to really look at the collection and play. The sales associate from MAC, Zeke, was fantastic and he assisted us with whatever we needed. If you live in the Austin, Texas area check him out there. Heads up, they are having the official launch event this Saturday!
But anyway, my favorite from this collection was the Hello Kitty Wild. Why? I love fun bright beautiful colors and this set was all of that for me! However, if you like more subdued colors then you may like the Hello Kitty Mild collection.
The quad in the Hello Kitty Wild collection is called Too Dolly and the colors consisted of: Yogurt, Romping, Too Dolly and Stately Black. I did a swatch of them and love them soooo much that I purchased it for $38 along with the Hello Kitty Big Bow lip glaze lipstick, $14 and the Hello Kitty Nice Kitty Lipgloss, $14.
For fun and trying this look check out this AWESOME youtuber rendition of the Hello Kitty Wild quad. I think she did a fanTAstic job creating this work of art and you know I will be trying this look this weekend.
Are you in love with Chanel’s Classic Tweed Jackets like I am? I think that the jacket is so chic and timeless where it could be worn dressed up or very casual for everyday use. The only thing I don’t like about Chanel’s classic tweed jackets are the price. Some of the styles are priced so high to the point where they are equivalent to a really nice vacation to Europe or the Mediterranean. I would rather where a stylish alternative any day and still be able to have that nice vacation too.
I was received my brochure of White House|Black Market’s spring 09 looks and I was lovin’ these to jackets that I may have to add one to my wardrobe this spring. So, you know I had to share them with you all too! So, far my fav is the white and black jacket!!
The first style is Textured Sweater Blazer has an opulent weave of pearl dust khaki and white yarns are highlighted with rich gold and silver threads for extra shine for $98. Not bad! The other jacket is a Contrast-Tipped Sweater Jacket, This white haute cardigan is supremely styled with black mesh trim and textured, fabric-laced chain along the jewel neck, placket, and patch pockets for $98 too.
Valentine’s Day is less than thirty days away! What are you going to be doing? What are you going to be wearing? If you are undecided here are some super sweet ideas for under $100.
The First Dance At the Inauguration Ball. All I can say is, beautiful, heart warming, and glamorous. Beyonce voice was just to die for and she look fabulous as well. Check it out!
Enjoy this clip if you missed it:
I also have to say that what Michelle Obama wore that day and night was very appropriate and beautiful too. For day she wore Isabel Toledo and for night she wore designer Jason Wu. Just love it!!!
Is the trend of the “Maxi” dress in or out for this coming spring? I would have to say after looking at some of the spring 09 runways shows some designers are still showing them for this year. Last season I wasn’t too into them. Why? Because I just kept envisioning my mother in her moomoo when she was relaxing at home and I swore I would never where one.
However, my mind has changed and maybe since they are making the maxi dresses looks so elegant and fun these days maybe I like them more now and I can stop referring back to my mom in something like this in the 80’s, lol.
Here are some looks I loved from the runway:
And then I found some cute versions that the retailers are showing in their stores.
