Celeb Crossing! Paris Fashion Week

Quietly gracing the pebbled streets…
Fans came from afar…
Viewing the colors both bright and bare…
They can smell Paris Fashion Week in the air!
Clearly, there’s some sort of affinity with Paris, France in my mind.  It makes me all “poetic” for no real reason.  Maybe it’s because I took French in high school and a little in college…that could be it.  Maybe it’s the picture in my childhood bedroom of the Eiffel Tower.  Hmm, all I know is Paris is the penultimate place of the fashion month that is September.
There were lots and lots of famous fashion fans to view the model walk in Paris.
Perhaps I’m not alone in that “weak-in-the-knees” feeling.
I’m sure these celebs enjoyed the show…Kanye West / Leelee Sobieski

OUI! OUI! Paris Fashion Week!

Ahh, Paris, the city of love…
Oh how I cannot wait to see your beauty one day…
Til that moment in time…
 I view your runways filled with flowing fabric…
 Beautiful accessories…

London Fashion Week: Two

I’m sure people are wondering why I keep up with fashion week(s) when it’s rare “curves” are even seen during this time… Well as mention before, I love fashion.  I look to these lines as inspiration for many things, life, outfits…interior design colors.
The possibilities are indeed endless!
Shall we jump back across the pond? Yes! Let’s go!

Milan Fashion Week: Take Two

Yesterday officially marked day one of Paris Fashion Week.  Can anyone tell me where the month of September went?  Feels like it was just 90 degrees and New York was the city to be in.  Time sure does fly!  Well, my mind is still living in Italy and enjoying the spoils of Milan Fashion Week.  Hold on tight as I rally the photogs to snap some fashions. (I’ll totally tag team posts between Milan and Paris…we’re jet-setters baby!)

The marvelous shades
Don’t leave without your bag!

Milan Fashion Week: Fendi Edition

I know, I know…the faves are late.  Better late than never in this case, right?  I think so! Believe me when I say, I’m usually never late…in fact, I’m normally quite early.  As a perfectionist who might have a little OCD, I get worried about being late, rushing and messing something up.  In turn, things tend to be more tediously planned.  Seems a bit to par since it’s fashion week time…a runway show NEVER starts on time so it’s only fitting.  Enough of my issues, let’s look at the styles!

Starting with Fendi…watched live, fell in love, only hated ONE thing and I WILL need that dice bag come March!

Honorable mention just because I do love Mr. Karl Lagerfeld…this is the ONLY thing I didn’t like…instantly reminded me of the Flintstones.  The tote in this pic deserves a mention as well! PLUS…dice bag/clip on!!

Thank you FENDI!

London’s Calling: Burberry Edition Spring/Summer 2013

Just as soon as New York Fashion Week ended, London Fashion Week started and now…Milan Fashion Week!  Can you imagine the jet lag some of these people are feeling?!  Sheesh! They’re probably use to it by now.  Well, luckily for me and you…there’s this thing called the interwebs! As with Curves and Coffee’s NYFW, we’re going to attempt to flip through thousands of pics to find my faves!  Let’s just get straight down to business…
 
 
 
 
 
If you know anything about me and I do mean any tiny little thing, you know I spent countless hours trying to find a certain bag earlier this year.  I won’t even mention the name of said bag nor will I post a picture, well maybe I will post a pic.
 

 
 
 
Point is, THAT exact bag SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE!  My name is seriously still sitting on some list in New York at the Burberry store.  Clearly, I absolutely love this brand!  Ok, back to the LFW…Burberry proved to me once again, why there’s such an infatuation with everything they produce.  In case you just want to see my faves aka a cheat sheet for those who don’t want to look at the live show…here you go!

If you’re not flabbergasted like me (I’ve looked at the live show and the pics over and over again) then maybe I need medical attention lol! Just kidding!  Is there anything here that can’t be loved?  Ok, maybe the shiny trench coats for the finale were a tad bit Puff Daddy & Mase circa 1998 during the shiny suit era but these coats are FITTED!  That’s gotta stand for something, right? Right.
 
Wanna know something,  I love Burberry no matter what and a little birdie told me a rumor about Burberry………..stay glued to Morning Linkage tomorrow!

 SS2013: The BIG Finish

Diesel Black Gold

I’m starting with a video!  Wanna know why?
Because I loved EVERYTHING about this show!
From the skate boarders to the clothes…
I.WANT.IT.ALL.

I loved scrolling and clicking through thousands of runway looks but what I missed the most were the “behind the scenes” shots.  After searching several sites I stumbled upon  Dazed Digital and my heart beat with contentment!  Check out the pics and interviews from a couple of my lust/loves of fashion like Phillip Lim, Prabal Gurung and Alexander Wang

While on my final journey through fashion week,  I couldn’t choose just several pics from these last designers, just like Diesel, I loved EVERYTHING!  So with that being said, enjoy the runway looks via video!  
Last but certainly not least….


The End! 
Thanks for sharing the fun of NYFW Spring/Summer Women’s Wear 2013 with me!

NYFW Faves: SS2013 Part 4

Hope everyone is enjoying my handpicked faves from this years Spring/Summer extravaganza!  It was touch and go for a minute there earlier this week…dizzy from the all the patterns, lack of caffeine and sleep…didn’t think I was gonna make it through to watch live shows from my computer!!  Clearly I did and that made it all the more fun to cuddle up in bed sans make-up and heels to watch the shows!

Just when you think you’ve seen it all or had just about enough fashion for one week…some designer restores your faith in humanity with its’ first look!  I’m not saying these shows were anything less than stellar but I was concerned about a few things or lack thereof from a couple designers.  Luckily, it there were only a few looks I completely despised.  Thankfully for you, you won’t see those here, I like showcasing things that I actually enjoyed from fashion week.

Ok, back to the fashions!!
