vogue collections

Floaty dresses at Dior

Pastel knits at Missoni

My Mother has successfully been forgiven for jetting off to America without me because of the bountiful amount of gifts she returned with. Amongst accessories, candy, American Apparel (one of my new favourite brands, for simple separates) and lacy socks, she brought back several Vogue magazines, including the new Vogue Collections Autumn/Winter 2011. It is an absolute bible of the new collections, with full-page spreads of every look. I got to survey all the looks of the seasons, the trends, the models! Okay I'm getting a little carried away, I better wrap it up before I ramble for a paragraph about how much I love the Valentino alone. It was so hard picking but I included some pictures of my favourite looks.

School has started up again and I'm pretty sure my teachers are out to get me by giving me stacks of homework and leaving me no time to blog. I missed a whole macro Monday! How rude. Even worse, for sport we are now doing synchronized swimming. And no, I do not go to an all girls school. At least I will have a good laugh.

 What to wear to a exhibition honoring a fashion genius: Bardot dress, Target tights, Miss shop boots, Coach bag.

 I wore a daisy ring. It was fun.

Um, just because.

 

 Sister and Valentino shopping bag,

 This makes me froth at the mouth.

On the last day of my savored holidays I went to the Valentino exhibit and it was a brilliant finish to the wonderful two weeks.  Obviously, it was amazing and left me wanting to cry because I am almost absolutely positive that I do not have $80, 000 to spend on an evening gown. It was an inspiration overload and I actually sketched some actual designs for the first time in months. Now I have to get to my sewing machine and make some Valentino-worthy garments.
