Let's Play a Boardgame

Now that Paris Fashion Week is sadly over, it's time for me to post my most memorable runway moments. No particular order. I'm just going to let the pictures speak for themselves.



Starting from Top Left: Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu, Alexander McQueen, Martin Margiela, Chanel, and Viktor & Rolf.

Now that fashion week is over I have nothing to look forward to until February when Fall/Winter 2011 fashion week happens.

Bleak Streak in the USA

Okay, sorry for my lack of posting. I know what you're thinking, "He's not actually sorry." No, but I am! I've been helping my grandfather paint the inside of his house. So I have been unable to do anything, except well ruin some good sweatpants and ruin the inside of my grandfathers house. Note to everyone out there, never ask me to paint your house.

And though I wish I could write more reviews for PFW I just don't have the time at this moment, so please check out the godly works of Commes des Garcons, Givenchy, John Galliano, and Victor & Rolf.

So the whole point to this post was to show you guys my latest necklace and to introduce to you a true artist. A few weeks ago I was on Etsy.com, a website I'm religiously on because I have this uncontrollable shopping habit, and I came across the coolest necklace I have ever seen. It was a silver pendent featuring a poet/author I hold dear to my heart; Edgar Allen Poe. I knew I had to have it. I ordered the necklace and in about a week I got the necklace in the mail and I was hooked.



The store that I ended up buying the necklace from was from is Arete, (pronounced ahr-eh-tay). Who hand makes all of her vintage inspired goods. She sells everything from necklaces, to bookmarks each with it's own flair.

She has so many options to choose from. So please stop buy and give her items a look, you will be far from disappointed. You can find her Esty store here!

Spring/Summer 2011 RTW - Balenciaga

Let me start this post off by saying, HELLILUAH it's raining in Vegas! That's right, it's actually cloudy and it's raining. It hasn't rained here for over 4 months. So anyway, back to purpose of this post.

Last night for a couple of hours I viewed all of the latest shows from Paris, and what can I say other than I'm impressed. I love most of the shows and though I wish I could write reviews for all of my favorites, well lets just say God hasn't invented the 30 hour day yet so I'm stuck writing a review for only a few shows at a time. Though, I think you should take my advice and view the collections of Balmain, Nina Ricci, Zac Posen, and Gareth Pugh.

This season Balenciaga went all messy and rock n' roll. Mostly dark colors with a few pastels to make it feminine-chic. We saw a lot of leather a lot of black and a lot of boots. All of the women in the show looked like some bad ass bitches you do not want to mess with. That's my favorite kind of women. Here are my favorite looks from the runway.

So before I end this post I have to give a special thank you to my friend Cathy from the popular blog, Confessions of a Pop Culture Junkie for giving me a special shout out. Cathy you are the best! Enjoy your trip and say safe.

Stay Stylish

Spring/Summer 2011 RTW - Rochas

I'm going to start off by saying, Because Paris does it better. I have been to eager for Pairs since well Fall/Winter Fashion Week! I have no doubt in my mind that one day I'll be planning my whole year around Paris Fashion Week. As for now I'm trying to plan my days around Paris, but it's impossible with my college work... Oh college how you keep me from doing EVERYTHING.

So I've viewed a lot of collections this season and to be honest I've been a bit bored. I haven't really seen anything that's exciting or so fashion forward for me. But then I finally sat down and viewed tons of collections from Paris and of course I was impressed with just about everything I viewed. Top of my list, Rochas.

Rochas featured a lot of retro silk florals. Usually I become very bored with viewing florals for Spring, but there was something different about this collection, maybe it's just my Paris fever but the florals looked more like crazy prints. Oh and as you know I can't go long without writing a post about sunglasses. The sunglasses were beyond gold. They literally sent shivers down my spine. Here are my favorite looks from the runway.


There is nothing negative that I can say about this collection. Other than I wish there were more beautiful garments to look at.

Okay, so who else has Paris fever? What is everyone excited for? I'm so looking forward to viewing Chanel. I'm jumping off of my seat just thinking about it. I'm going to be sad when Fashion Week is over.

Stay Stylish
