As February ushers in, thousands of women are dreaming of flowers and chocolates, petite teddy bears and diamond jewels, and the hope of a perfect Valentine. But me, well I am dreaming of tulle silks, tartan and plaids, and tickets into the greatest little show on earth – New York Fashion Week. And until my peepers can peep some new fanciful outfits and designs, I find myself flitting around and enjoying past collections – most specifically this lovely little collection from Mr. Dior.
Over the past several weeks I have heard gentle rumblings about this French line called Maje. And although I ordinarily lean towards more loud and boisterous designs, I must say I absolutely love every single piece of this entire collection. I love the quiet sophistication, and the astounding possibilities. These clothes are all so completely and absolutely interchangeable with each other, and could honestly be in fashion for my grandchildren’s grandchildren. I guess that really is just a part of the French fashion flair. And I guess I might need to consider investing in a few of these key pieces. I don’t know about you, but my first purchase would be that amazing red mini dress with those epic bell sleeves. Lust, love, need.

I know what you are thinking … ‘two posts in one day! Where does this dame find the time?’ Well, I was just so into the latest runway fashions that I had to share one more. However, I am doing this post un poquito different, because in DKNY’s latest collection there are truly truly truly some pieces I love {the hats most especially!} … and then some I uber hate {the loud, unwearable, unchic, vomit-inducing patterns – yes, I hate them}.
New York Fashion Week – which, little tidbit, actually spans about 10 days and happens twice a year – is one of my most favorite bi-annual times of year to gather inspiration. As a graphic designer, I truly feel that fashion and art and photography are all interconnected and I normally see the hot new design or hot new color from the runway in some way, eventually get translated into my little graphic design world. Especially since attending a show live, I find myself pouring over the – now extremely well photographed/filmed and no longer closed/stuffy - shows for weeks and weeks after. One of my favorites of this season was Christian Siriano, probably because he is totally flirting with feathers and feathers are the new in thing in Carolland. I just wanna shake my tail feathers {yeah, I said it} in some of these sexy, textured pieces.

Hello there, coverirls. You all look so fantastically vintage while at the same time so fantastically modern. Plus, you are wearing hats – a much beloved accessory in Carolland. Oh Louis dear, you really need to host a clearance sale in the OutNet or something similar for little ol’ plebeians likes me.

I want all of these pieces. From the hair, to the shoes. Including the glasses, the bags and the hairdos … most especially that bright and cheery bag in the first look and the color-blocking shoes in the last.
