Pink & Red Love

I wanted to celebrate Valentine's Day today by sharing one of my favorite collections from one of this year's Ready-to-Wear Fall fashion designers. Prabal Gurung's line that debuted this weekend is full of luxe, romantic textures and colors--feminine but with an edge. (Those ribbon tights are pretty killer if you ask me).

I don't normally gravitate to reds and esp not reds and pink together. BUT like everything in design, if it's done well (and in this case REALLY well), it will change your outlook. So fittingly, I find myself liking this palette and hope you do too!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Inspiration: Fashion and Daytime TV

I did a LOT of lounging around during Thanksgiving break--caught up on sleep, read, watched dvds and had a good dose of daytime telly watching. I caught the Martha Stewart show the day after Thanksgiving and enjoyed the segment on the new JCrew line for this holiday season. Jenna Lyons, their creative director was on promoting the latest catalog, shared some inspiration boards and ended with a fashion show. It definitely kick-started me into the holiday mood!

Since I haven't had a recent post on anything fashion-related lately, I thought I'd share some of my faves from this season on JCrew:

I love how they always shoot on-site for their catalog. Since this was produced months before (during our summer), they had to fly all the way to Chile to find some snow--models, production crew, and 17 trunks of clothing in tow...

Make an outfit out of your room...

Back in May I was super excited to take part in Design*Sponge's sneak peek column where they would have regular posts on designer's homes. It's a great place to gather ideas on interior decorating, diy projects, new trends... among many other design-related topics. I'm a regular reader of that blog (along with a gazillion other folks) so I was happy to share, you can see the post here.
























I just came across this cute article that came out earlier this month on D*S called Turn this Room into an Outfit and it was a fun surprise to see that my living room wall (pictured above) was one of the rooms they picked!

Do they make this in my size?

Spring has Sprung

New from the Spring 2010 collection of the gurus of wedding gowns: Oscar de la Renta & Monique Lhullier:

Wow.

This dress worn by 1950's model Jean Patchett blows doors. Speechless.

Whimsy photoshoot of the lovely Emma Watson wearing some rockin' couture for the newest issue of Teen Vogue. Perfectly styled, love the clothes, and the mini ponies?!! Awesome. More pics can be seen here.

Korean Envy

I was hanging out at the shop a while back with two close friends of mine (Anjel and Jane) who happen to be Korean, and they were reminiscing about how their moms would make them wear and parade around in their traditional dress, called Hanbok, when they were kids--how adorable! I'm sure they didn't think this was so cute back then, but even though I'm not Korean, if I had a little girl, I would probably dress her up in a hanbok anyway :) LOL.


How could you not love these?? The colors, fabrics, the pants underneath? Too cute! Gorgeous pictures taken from Vogue Korea via Set Design Thinking.
