BURBERRY RESORT 2013

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh...Burberry is AMAZING. We just love how their looks just ooze of being tailored impeccably well. Those jackets are just...well...there aren't many words to describe what they are. Although we cannot afford these awing looks, we'll let you in on some of the things we're seeing and will probably use in our own dressing inspiration...the short jacket paired with pencil skirts, the continued use of the paper bag pant (these are expensive but you get the idea), and the use of metallic and taupe (you may see us use this combo in the future). Oh and that's the first we've seen a paper bag skirt! Maybe we'll go vintage and find a skirt bigger in the waist and belt it in. Never thought of that (we'll let you know how it goes). Very cool.

ERDEM RESORT 2013

 

Erdem is fast becoming such a favorite of ours. One of us saw this resort collection and immediately went to her closet to see if she had any small but similar florals that could be paired together. Sadly the consensus was that she didn't. So we will definitely be on the look out. We love how the florals are almost the same but different, making for such interesting looks. And although we wouldn't show up in the head to toe floral pant looks, we just love the other looks in the photo. But we have to admit that the top photo is our favorite....

ANJA RUBIK FOR VOGUE JAPAN

All right, you guys saw bits of the Dior Couture collection here, and now you can see some of these beautiful creations in print. Keep in mind the hats are crazy, but we love the full skirts nipped in at the waist. And we have to admit, those sleeves in the looks up top are pretty wonderful. We always love to see when runway looks show up in magazine shoots....

BEHIND THE SCENES - Oscar de la Renta Resort 2013

We have absolutely loved following the Oscar PR Girl on Pinterest. These are just a few of the pictures that showed up on our boards the other morning and made them beautiful. These are all behind the scenes shots from his Oscar de la Renta's Resort 2013 collection (you can view the whole awesome collection here). It makes us really excited to see what he'll do for Spring 2013 just around the corner. A few things of note...the peplum is coming on strong. We've talked about the peplum being everywhere for fall and now it's showing up in resort. So keep an eye out.  Other things of note is the use of gingham, large florals, and a definite look at the statement earring sneaking back onto the scene. It looks like after all of the rough, edgy fashion seen on the fall runways, we might be getting some more femininity around the corner for spring....

CHRISTIAN DIOR COUTURE SPRING 2012 - Grace Kelly inspired?

We like to call this the frothy Grace Kelly collection. All of these looks are so retro where even the stylings of hair and make-up remind us of Princess Grace. It makes you want to jump back into the movie High Society, where every look Grace wore looked like these. I wish we could show you the gowns in this collection but they were just barely not covering over the shoulders (here's one that is to die for). Wow, this is inspiring one us to break out her 'Grace Kelly' look. Stay tuned...

ASHI COUTURE - Designer Highlight

Here's a designer we are very unfamiliar with. But his designs are beautiful, aren't they? They remind us of the Dior couture collection we saw for Spring (which we'll post soon). There are bolts upon bolts of whispy fabrics, making for beautiful, frothy collections. 

     Just a little bit about Mohammed Ashi; he's a designer from Kuwait who became known for his caftans. So if you go to his website here, you can see that there is a whole section devoted to some of the most beautiful caftans we've ever seen. But truly he's shining outside of this. His designs are starting to be seen on the red carpet these days by celebrities like Eva Longoria. We definitely think his name will continue to get out there as his beautiful designs become more and more well known. Do you have a favorite? We really can't decide....

VERO MODA SPRING 2012 - Alexa Chung

 

We thought this was a lovely photo shoot that Alexa Chung did for the clothing company Vero Moda. We love their sense of style over there. It's cool, yet somehow simple and understated. But then again, put Alexa Chung in anything and that's what it would be. That must be why they chose her to be the face of their company...which is pretty dang smart if you ask us. If you're unfamiliar with the model Alexa Chung's style, you can see it here, here, here and here. Let's just say we kinda like her....
