i want: Acne Studios Fall 2010 – 2011 Dresses

Published by

I’m loving these dresses from Acne for fall 2010.  Ara, the short, sexy leather number would be a great edition to my closet that is lacking shorter hems.  It sounds divine after reading the description. Strapless, short and futuristic leather A-line bustier dress with a zipped detailed skirt. Inner top body is built up like a corset with bonings. Inner grosgrain ribbon with hook and eye closure holds the waist. Skirt part has two front zippers with inserts, which allows for skirt width adjustments. Hemline finishes just below the hips. Fit is short and narrow The drapey Pluto and Omega are my typical hemline and great for the office. I love the silk styles Alpha and Atlantis are just great LBDs.  I’ve recently discovered that the key to wearing silk dresses is about wearing some shapewear or a great slip underneath.    Atlas is another fun short dress that uses a stretch crepe fabric for the top, the bust and skirt are in a fused stiff fabric. Available at shop.acnestudios.com :Ara, Pluto, Omega, Atlas, Atlantis images: …

Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 – 2011 Shoes

Published by

The ornate nature of these Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 – 2011 shoes has me speechless. The Object Fetish by SHOWstudio: Alexander McQueen Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 Shoes video blew me away but I didn’t realize how extensive the ornate shoe collection was. I’d love to see these up close. I’m so curious about the materials used. The heels look like they are made of plastic.  I can’t believe they would be some kind of metal, seems that would be too heavy.  I wonder how long some of these embroidered pieces take to produce? images: tooklookbook.com

Gap Premium Pant Collection Fall 2010

Published by

Gap invited media over one morning to check out the Premium Pant Collection. The response was big and everyone was posting and tweeting about the pants. I contributed to that myself. There are 5 different styles of pants in your typical Gap styles: Boy Fit, Modern Boot, Curvy, Perfect Trouser and Slim Cropped.  All the styles came in black and some had navy blue or grey options.  Each person got a pair for our own evaluation.  The Slim Cropped style drew me in and I opted for that.  They only came in black.  I was really happy with the fit and stretchy material.  They are the type of pants you buy a size smaller because they will stretch out.  They didn’t do a very good job of repelling my cat’s hair so I think the lint resistance thing is a little suspect. After washing the fit stays true and the colour doesn’t fade. There were some predictions that the Slim Cropped would sell out. I believed this would happen; the pants fit very well. Many …
