Hermès Ready to Wear – Fall Winter 2008- 2009 If you are looking for trends, don’t come to Hermès. There clothing doesn’t follow the trends (lets face it, there market isn’t looking for the latest trend). They make very high quality pieces and I was quite taken with the coats this year. images: thefashionspotcom
Chloé Ready to Wear – Fall Winter 2008 – 2009s I really like the new Chloe. To me it was time to change up the label. After that horrible collection created by the Chloe team after Phoebe left, it’s good to see something not like the typical Chloe girl. images: style.it
Rick Owens – Ready to Wear Fall 2008 – 2009 I see another Rick Owens coat in my future. I love this collection. Thank god for Paris, I get giddy. The only thing I don’t like too much is the zippered pants. I can’t believe Rick has changed my opinion on the aesthetics of fur; it’s possible for it to look good and not tacky. (sorry peta freaks, I’m not sorry I said the fur looks good. And yes I know what happens to them, thanks) images: style.com
Lanvin – Large metallic bag I’m obsessed with this beautiful purple bag by Lanvin. They have it at Holt’s and I go in to drool over it occasionally. It’s more incredible in person. Purple large metallic bag with silver trims on the corners and the main opening. Chain link handles sit on either side. A popper fastening sits on the main opening. A zip pocket sits on the lining. image: brownsfashion.com
Herve Leger dress I can totally see myself in one of these. I love figure hugging dresses. images: herveleger.com
When I saw the Will Ferrell & Heidi Klum SI Swim 08 editorial I laughed out loud. I get a kick out of Heidi Klum. She’s got a fun personality, she’s married to Seal and she can throw a football very well.

This is the sweetie wedge buy my favourite brand, Coach. This aptly named shoe, a marriage of the sneaker, the ballet slipper and the wedge, comes in two beloved Coach fabrics. They’re a great way to add height to your favorite outfits. This is the result of that unholy union. Ballet slippers and sneakers, with a dash of wedge, what!!! images: coach.com
Proenza Schouler Ready to Wear – Fall 2008 – 2009 This was my favourite collection during NYC fashion week. It was pretty uninspiring otherwise. The colours were so vibrant and I loved the bright tights and shoes. images: thefashionspot.com and style.com
Prada’s trembled blossoms video looks much better on prada.com. Louis Vuitton is advertising on tv now. Only in select countries. I laughed a bit at the Prada video at first, but it is really well done and beautiful. I prefer it to the LV ad, which I find a little pretentious. It’s beautiful, but leaves me angry.
