Oh Nostalgia, Part My Hair Down The Middle

I hope you've all enjoyed your holidays. As for me I had a great time with my grandparents. So all weekend on the IFC channel there has been a Freaks and Geeks marathon. Freaks and Geeks is one of the worlds coolest shows. (Even Times Magazine thinks so!) Unfortunately NBC didn't think it was all that cool, so they cancelled the show after the first season and 13 episodes. So why am I talking about such a glorious show you ask? Well the show is set in 1980 around a bunch of high school students trying to get through life, and it's apparent that the 1970's fashions and lifestyle has not yet be shoved out by flashy clothes and hair! Which leads to the inspiration of this post. If it's not already apparent I'm an old soul, and I've forever longed to grow up as a teenager in the 70's. It's one of my favorite eras. Everything about it is so amazing! The bell bottoms, the music, and the middle hair parts! Everything.
And the women! As beautiful as they were in the 70's, they were finally starting to get their own voice! Women were becoming rock & roll stars. (Joan Jett & Lita Ford!) Women were finally saying, "WE DON'T WANT TO BE BAREFOOT AND PREGNANT! WE WANT TO FUCK AND WE WANT TO ROCK!" And the 70's is when people were becoming sexually free. Oh how I long to go back and time and experience all of that.
1970's inspired looks were shown all over the runway this spring. One of my all time favorite collections was Marc Jacob's Spring 2011 collection. All inspired by the 1970's. Here are some of my favorite looks.

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.

Spring/Summer 2011 RTW - Marc Jacobs

Ever since I've loved fashion I've loved Marc Jacobs. He has a way with clothing that no other designer has. He could make two bottle caps and tooth floss become the next big thing since skinny jeans. And I love him dearly for that. But why do I feel so empty after watching his 2011 Spring/Summer collection? I just didn't feel Marc in the collection, I personally do not believe he was in his zone while designing, maybe he had something on his mind, I don't know, but I'd never think I would see the day when I was... disappointed with a Marc Jacobs collection.

His big theme of the evening was retro, ruffles, and prints, and he nailed it. He managed to pull off a combination color pallet of bright vivid colors and soft girlish colors. He even threw in a few metallics. I was beyond obsessed with metallics last season, but I'm not so sure about this season, though he manged to make it work with the rest of his collection. Here are my favorite looks from the runway.



They are quite stunning, but now I'm worried about the Louis Vuitton show come this Paris Fashion Week.

Stay stylish everyone and enjoy the last days of Fashion Week.

Marc Jacobs + Lady GaGa = V magazine

Today one of my closest friends posted something on my facebook wall. It was a blog entry by, Oh No They Didn't?! talking about the new cover(s) of the latest V Magazine. Naturally I become breathless and almost died (that's what I tend to do when I get really excited about something), because on the cover of this months V Magazine features two people that I hold very dear to my heart; Marc Jacobs and Lady Gaga. Not only that, but you can buy three different versions of the covers, of which each one done by a different yet talented artist.
