Proud to be an American

Well…..last week I was proud to be an American, thanks to President-Elect Obama…this week…not so proud…………….what exactly is this:

On a lighter note…

With so many important world issue taking place in our media now a days…. well, we all need a break!!!

This week the fabulous Kate Moss celebrated 20 years in the business!!!  In the 20 years that Kate has been around she has become an icon of our times, making headlines for her famous style, gorgeous boyfriends and of course the famous drug addictions.

Here are a few photos of why we keep on talking about Ms.Moss even today.   Something tells me she will be around for a long long time to come…

I take it back!

Just when I said that Celine was not an exciting fashion house, I was proven wrong!

For her last collection, Ivana Omazic went all out at Celine!

How do you choose?  Each dress is stunning!

Ivana what will you do next?  We are going to have to keep a close eye on you.

Ohh Dries…

Finally, a collection every women can wear!

Our favorite Belgium designer, Dries van Noten showed a beautiful collection of easy-to-wear pragmatic pieces that echoed ‘urban elegance’!

Bravo Dries!!!

J’adore Paris!

I love the Paris fashion week, because of Maison’s such as ‘Balmain’ !!!

It just makes me feel fabolous!!!

Aquilano & Rimondi, who did you say?

Am I the only one not to have heard of this duo before?

Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi are the new rising stars of the Milan Catwalks!  Their second showing in Milan attracted even the queen of Vogue USA Anna Wintour… and I understand why!

They showed a beautiful collection of feminine and elegantly sophisticated pieces that every women out there must have!!  (and i know I have been saying that a lot lately)… But this is a dream come true my ladies!!

Let the images speak for themselves!!  Pure elegance!!

All eyes on Milan

The third of the big stops on the fashion week schedule, is everyone’s favorite city of fabulous cappucinos and Italian glamour!

There is so much great fashion showcased in this city that it is really hard to pick the top looks and designs for Spring 09…. here are a few of my favorites thus far..

Starting with Alberta Ferretti.. The Queen of Romantic draping as usual showed a beautiful collection of silk gowns.  Every girl has got to have at least one!

Followed by Christopher Bailey, everyone’s favorite British boy, once again showed an interesting collection for Burberry Prorsum, but I only came out with one favorite must have look! ‘Metallic Silk’!

My secret love affair with Missoni started on my first trip to Italy back in 2000, ever since then I can not stop admiring this brand! This season Angela Missoni brought us back to the 70’s but in a more subtle and sophisticated way.

And last but not least on the this Milan overview is Pringle of Scotland.  Unlikely pick for me, but their collection this season was more interesting and eye catching then usual, what an Arty Affair!..

Calling on London!

Its London’s turn to strut its stuff on the catwalk and Aquascutum did just that!!

Here is one of our favorite dresses from their collection.  This beautiful baldwin blue dress is on our must have list for Spring 09!  its sexy and elegant……….what more can a girl ask for!!

 

Lady Love

Badgley Mischka  always makes me feel like a lady…rich chiffons, ruffles and flowy silhouettes …. I’ll take one of everything.

The Halston comeback!

Right out of Studio 54 or at the Palace in Paris, the Halston’s show was just that!! A trip down memory lane!!

I love every piece of the collection that I contemplated posting the entire show on the blog, but I managed to choose a few of my favorite styles.

Now, I just have to find out how to get on the waiting list to score one of these gorgeous dresses before they are all sold out!!
