TUESDAY TAILOR ♥ CHARLES ANASTASE

I know LFW is over, but that doesn't mean I'm over covering some designers that turned it on. Truth be told, a lot of the shows in Italy that just happened super bummed me out (like Pucci). And I loved a lot of the looks created by Charles Anastase, who, for me, is super punk rock not in style, but in ethics of  challenging the business. This spring 2011 show was really done well. Stylee. Wearable. Nancy Girl.  I don't think these photos do the collection justice. They probably looked waaay more cute in person. :) He's going to be a HUGE player soon. Watch and see. ♡

chic chic lady on the edge. it's hot. love it.

really sweet and good for work or lunch. don't tell me you wouldn't notice a girl walking down the street looking like this.

i love love this look. and any girl who can get away with this look, should. even with a little black bikini top underneath it would still be lovely. i love me a swiss dot. plus i love the shoes in this show. and the hair and the faces.

this is also another good for work or lunch or gallery opening. it's styleeeeeee. it's chiiiic. it's girrrrl.

love these shoes! they make the sweet outfits edgy.

i love this casual look so much. it's just missing a good bag.it's perfectly done. sexy even. yep.

ok, this is hot. and hard to pull off. but i love love swiss dots and white swiss dot outfit! come on...it's sweet and out there.

i'll take a swiss dot any day!

really really sweet and crazy at the same time. not sure what this would be worn for...but it's still cool to look at in the show.

SUNDAY MATINEE ♥ PARENTHETICAL GIRLS

Just a quick neat break from fash-ion. I'll probably add something tomorrow video-related to the collections. But I thought this video was pretty neat and cool and interestingly done. And there's a lot of fashion in it. There are a lot of fashion films these days...but most of them just have someone walking around in a dress. People need to do more...do more concepts this way. So...hope you enjoy Parenthetical Girls "Young Throats" video. He has a really interesting voice. I think a lot of people aim to do an 80s-ish thing and it doesn't work. But I think this works really well. You can get more info here on the album and group. PS I have no idea where the days went. I only just realized it's going to be Sunday. SO I have missed a day. Because I did my Saturday post today instead of on Friday! Must have been caught up in the shows...??? (I just went through the posts, and I guess I should have called Jil Sander post a Sunday post...and the previous post was a Friday post and it should have been Saturday's post. So I have fixed everything. Phew!) ♡

SUNDAY SHOW ♥ JIL SANDER SS 2011

Ok. I'm not going to say that the new Jil Sander collection was A) flattering (for anyone, pretty much due to proportions and what color was on the bottom vs. color on top and stripes and ruffles etc in strange places) and B) that too many people will love it. But I loved it anyway. Even though I know the only people who can pull off wearing these pieces are 6-foot 2-pound models who don't have a curve to their body. But if I was a tall flat string bean, I'd definitely wear some of these. It was definitely a candy store of color and that's good enough for me. But there was a feeling like this was Jil Sander (er, ahem, JS designer Raf Simons via the brand) saying F-you to the fashion industry...with all the big top tent outfits. It's Raf, but it was very odd at the same time. I guess we'll just wait to see what it really means.♡

there is something about this that i love, even though it would make anyone, even a skinny model, look huge.

i mean, i love the look...but how huge does she look?

i mainly love the black/navy handbag in this. i have a vintage one like it from the 60s that i adore. this outfit is doable.

um...i love the concept. but i can't actually see anyone wearing this out. but there is something about it that i love.

this shape looks fun. i'd love this in black. or navy. i love the orange on this gorgeous model's skin (yea to black models!)

see...i really really love this shape and the color. but then i look at it and i think, is this a big ol' bag of cotton candy? it could be really pretty if it hangs down a bit when you're not walking. you'd still have to be 10 feet tall, though.

same with this dress. there is something about it that i love. but where or how could i wear it??? also, notice how the same model has the exact same face in the pink dress pic above. sort of creepy.

this looks very fashion editor on a casual day. but it's still a bit odd. even though i love the styling.
