I came across these lovely designs by Kate Ermilio while on Tumblr... something I have been doing a lot lately, I guess I like the freedom of randomly posting photos without saying anything! Back on topic, this collection (which is the Spring '12) is absolutely beautiful, so feminine and full of pastels.You can find the slideshow here. Completely and utterly up my alley.

I seem to have had a lot to do with Dolce and Gabbana lately. First, I found a perfume that I adore and can actually afford from their anthology series just recently. Second, I designed a skirt for Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz based on one from this D&G collection for a musical, and it looks fantastic! How exciting is that? Oh, and I just recently (a hour ago) grew out of a very expensive skirt bought for me for a very expensive wedding that reminds me very much of the voluminous ones modelled by Chanel Iman in a collection that I cannot name for D&G. Whew, long sentence. Anyway, I took the skirt and forced it over my head so I could do one last model of it... and got stuck trying to get out of it. But that's besides the point. The point is, how could you not be happy wearing an impossibly voluminous skirt with layers of ruffles?

goodness me

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.
