Oh Marc, why do you tease me?

With clothing this beautiful I may have to sell a kidney.

Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2010 Collection

With a heavy hand of 80's nostalgia, Marc has once again put forth a beautifully decadent collection.  Thank god for Paris fashion!  Finally some life, color, and optimism following a very dark and somber New York fashion week.   I have to say, the pink draped dress is one of my favorites of the season.

I'm not going to lie...

I wanted to hate it.

And yet.   I can't.  Because it's actually quite good.

A little boring, and certainly "borrowing" a lot from other designers (Roland Mouret anyone?), Victoria Beckham's Fall 2010 Collection was surprising better than expected.  She actually made the jump from Sweet Face and Lohan leggings to the Elizabeth and James successful side of celebrity fashion lines.   Perhaps the reason her sophomore collection was acclaimed over other celebrity "designers" is that she makes clothes you could actually see her wearing.  She features clean lines with beautiful seaming, slim figure flattering silhouettes, and recession-friendly colors that can easily fit in most women's wardrobes.

You know that "I-just-threw-something-on-as-I-was-running-out-the-door-and-I-don't-even-realize-how-perfectly-put-together-I-am" look?

Well, Sarah Rutson has mastered it.  

p.s. These pants are on my Spring must-have list!

Dear Coat...

Can you please come live with me?  I promise to wear you to uber-fashionable soirees, never take you out when it rains, only use nice wooden hangers, and dry clean you regularly.  I'll even dedicate a whole corner of my closet to you.

“It’s only slightly less dangerous than covering wars... In Milan, it was about the same as covering Vietnam.”
