LONDON FASHION WEEK LIVE STREAMS

HERE ARE THE LINKS SO YOU ALL CAN WATCH THE SHOWS LIVE! I'm loving the live streams. When I lived in New York, there were a lot of winters when going from show-to-show just couldn't happen...whether it was from blizzards and sub-zero weather or if it was from my own fatigue (running around during fashion week is exhausting)...and I loved that one New York channel would just run all the shows every day. So live streaming is really superb for me. 

here is the digital schedule for most of the shows (go to the home page for the video):

SATURDAY SHOPPING ♥ MARIMEKKO CDG YO

OOOO....YES...They're here....the Marimekko Comme des Garçons striped shirts that I love love love! Head tripping and funny and of course chic. Available online. Just one of those chic little things for those chic little people. Or chic bigger people?

which one? which one? i can't really decide.

 And on a fun note...the new Banksy billboard that was up in Los Angeles this week and taken down or covered up like a day or so right after...somehow they compliment each other(?)...someone emailed this to me because I did cover art for over 10 years...I do need to start my art blog...but not today.I especially love it for the Mickey factor. I'm a huge Mickey icon girl...have a famous sweatshirt that everyone associates me with, have partied in 5 countries in it over 10 year span or more. And I do love and respect Banksy. I know a hell of a lot of personal stuff about him. But I'll NEVER tell.♡ 

banksy in the la february 2011...genius.

FRIDAY FANCY ♥ ISAAC MIZRAHI ??? (YEP)

YES YES....EVEN I'M SHOCKED THAT I'm doing a Friday Fancy post on the Isaac Mizrahi Fall 2011 collection. I mean, I just thought he was way way too far out there in sold out boring land. I don't know who he has working for him, but I LOVE what they're doing. This show was so cartoon. And fun. And future and frosting. With rainbow sprinkles. I see the reference to one of my favorite movies that I haven't done a Sunday Matinee post on yet. It's an older film with Shirley MacLaine called "What a Way to Go." And she looks amazing in it. I believe Edith Head did all the costumes for her in that film. The reference I'm making is that all of here poodles in the film match her outfits. In fact, everything matches her outfits. I don't want to say too much because I'll certainly do a full post on it in the near future. But I will put one or two pics from the film on here. 

I was, in a word, bored of New York Fashion Week. I mean, there were a couple of wow factors. But I'm really looking forward to the rest of the weeks in London, Paris and Milan. But have a look at Mr. Mizrahi's pieces. I would love any of these for myself or to use in a shoot. Pretty fun stuff. PS I do love the styling for this show...but any of these dresses would look great in real life on a smiling girl with tussled longer hair, maiden style.♡

i don't know what this is from, but it's a shot of doris day (whom i also love love) with pastel poodles.

i didn't really love this dress...but i wanted to include the shot so you can see the pink dress and poodle in the background. it looks great in this shot. even in the background.
