Sadotna FW 2010

I think evocative is the only word that I can think of to describe this collection. The silhouettes are playful, albeit black. It's like a twisted shadow, or if Viktor and Rolf got slammed into Gareth Pugh. I hope you like it as much as me.

I'm especially fond of the fourth photo.

Chanel Summer Cool


image style.com

Hellllooooo Chanel. I can already see how tacky the green shade will look on my nails. My yellow based skin tone will clash like a charm. Chanel, thanks for making elementary school colours classy again. These lacquers hit the stores in a month. I can't wait!

Heavy Machine

I'd really like the red pair. Shoes by Heavy Machine, available at Babel Fair where you can also find a lot of other awesome things.







Yumumu

I stumbled across this Singaporean designer Yumumu just this morning. The 3 collections on the website are seriously stunning. This is just a sampling from one of them. So far I've only found one stockist that ships to the US (listed on the Yumumu website).

Go check out the other collections! I'm really feeling like I need to do a giveaway, I'm just trying to decide WHAT to give away!

weekend musings

I have a thing for warm colours and scarves. I really do. I always try to coax myself into buying shades of blue but always gravitate towards that orange fabric. I also feel quite empty if I don't purchase a new scarf every year. I think I have about 50 scarves that vary from silk, to wool, cashmere, acrylic, cotton, and a handful of blends. It's really quite an obsession.

Anyway, I figured I'd share some goodies I've come across this weekend. They're really just a small sampling of wishful purchases.

UME body jewelry from armorjewelry.com

Oh, I did buy 3 new nail colours in warm neutral tones from Butter for 60% off! I can't wait for them to arrive, but I have yet another week for them to reach my doorstep.

That's all for now.

summer heat

I hope the valley girl look isn't coming back... But these photos are oddly alluring! Fake bake anyone?

You guys asked for more outfit posts, so here's one! I took these photos with a friend 2 days after I got back from California. If some of you remember, I was sick the, so I guess, just ignore my face. :)

into the looking glass

I foresee myself creating a collection based off of this image. It's terribly lovely. I found it in a book last night while scanning images for a project.

McQueen Pre Fall 2010

This collection is genius. I'd recommend seeing it in full. I still like me some Balenciaga though. ;)

FW 2010 Shoes of Balenciaga

If you haven't checked out the Balenciaga FW 2010 collection yet, you MUST. It sports signature Balenciaga shoulders, but bold colours that have only been a feature of the past few collections. His colours in this collection go from electric blue and teal to orange. It's a collection that I'm in love with again. It reminds me why I ALWAYS keep Balenciaga at the very top of my list.

Because I would most likely post the ENTIRE FW 2010 collection on here if I was selecting pieces, I decided to restrict myself to the shoes. Enjoy. I think they are exquisite!








Remember this post? I think teal is going to be hot this fall.

Thank you all for the well wishes. I really, truly, appreciate it.

Natural Rocker

For the lack of better words, Assad Mounser is awesome. I'm the type of gal that is a little bit obsessive about necklaces. This SS10 collection totally hit the spot. Almost every piece is everything I'd look for in a necklace.

I just love how Assad mixes bright natural stones with hard, punky shapes. The colours range from subdued silver to rockin' lime green. You have to admit, these are the perfect way to kick the winter blues in the butt. I'm especially coveting the first two pieces. ;)
