Toujours Toi

 

 Hi! Okay, so this morning i was looking at the blog Stil in Berlin.

They posted about a Swiss woman, Nina Egli, who has both a clothing and jewelry line that she works on in New York. Both lines are FABULOUS. The pieces are amazing and I was drooling over her jewelry line Toujours Toi especially, but her clothing line Family Affairs is equally amazing.

Check. It. Out. People!

You'll fall in love.

Happy Friday!! Any big plans?

Punk FREAKING Couture

Tom Binns has become a recent obsession. I can just picture myself wearing one of his huge gorgeous necklaces with a simple tee or a sleeveless, high neckline, cocktail dress. After reading Rachel Zoe's book "Style A to Zoe," I have become more aware of how much accessories can impact an outfit and instantly give any look glamor, polish, and effortlessness.

Its All In the Details

When looking at the Zac Posen spring collection I couldn't help but be more amused by the accessories than the clothes themselves. And maybe that's what Mr. Posen wants us to do his collectioin, however, I felt that in some looks he may have over accessorized. The chunky coin earrings in this collection no doubt would be a conversation starter, but I know few women who would actually wear these through an entire work day or a night out without having their ears weighing them down.

Also, the bangles I would love to see separate. When you stack four or five cunky bangles at once sometimes I think you can loose the beauty in the bangles individually and instead are looking at the massive stack on the models tiny wrist.

But I will say is that I love the details and colors used in the dresses,
the white snakeskin and the freshness of the bags, and the colors and shapes of the shoes.

I guess I'm a person who looks at the functionality a little bit more than the design. I have always loved Zac Posen and his eye for fashion, but I think its important to have an opinion about what designers put on the runway because it allows for a different perspective rather than loving everything the designer does just because it has their name on it. I am no person to have such a high opinion on such talented and excelled designers, but these are just my thoughts on looking at the details of this collection. After all, its all in the details.

P.S. I apologize for the slow posting. But thankfully, I have spring break approaching and I'm prepared to do some massive DIYing and have a couple posting ideas lined up. Also, sorry for the poor quality of some of my outfit pictures, I need to upgrade to a new camera, but for right now I'm fine. I should be grateful to have the things that I do and sometimes I take them for granted I think.

happy 30th!..

“I went into business the year that the working
woman’s wardrobe and shoulder pads were really in
and really powerful, but my inspiration was Danskin
leotards. Then came Jane Fonda running down the
street. It was like, ‘Wooo! Hallelujah!’”

When asked which of these Betsy considers most important -- sex, laughter, music or fashion -- she answered, "All of them!
It's a miracle. I have all of them!
But not marriage.
I won't do that again. Lovers? Yes!"

Congrats to 30 years of hot pink fabulousness!
