Vernice Flower Patent Sandal by Prada
I wasn’t excited about Prada this season back in September. However, some of the pieces are growing on me. I really like the ad campaign too. This sandal is really cute.

I can’t believe that I’m bored by the Christian Dior Spring Summer 2008 Haute Couture collection
I’ve said it. John has officially bored me. It’s like I’ve been seeing the same collection for the past few seasons, with no real movement forward. Don’t get me wrong, the garments are made to perfection and the details are incredible. I’m just bored with this, even with the Klimt references. That’s really damn hard to do, Klimt is my favourite artist! That being said, there are a few pieces that I liked. (Click on thumbnails for larger images)
I did get a kick out of the hats and amazing makeup job.
I really shouldn’t pass final judgment until I see the video.

i want: Silk Canvas Shirred Skirt by Chloé
That Secret Garden a-line dress by Chloe is the stuff of dreams!
I blogged about theSecret Garden a-line dress by Chloe from the Fall 2007 ready to wear collection in November. It’s fantastic in pictures and absolutely stunning in person.
I tried on the Chloe dress for kicks and I just had to take unauthorized photos. It was so beautiful. A heavy duty open end two-way zipper ran the length of the back of the dress. It’s definitely a winter dress, the wool made it a lot heavier than I expected. I’m in love, I can’t believe it was on the sale rack. It was still too pricey for me, so I only got a brief taste of its exquisiteness.
This is the runway look and a closer look at the detail.
