Pre-Fall

I do not like to consider this a fashion blog. This is a personal blog, and it just so happens that fashion is a huge part of my life. The reason I do not blog much about my personal life is that nothing interesting actually happens to me. The biggest thrill I got this week was going online to see the latest Chanel collection. I'm planning on blogging more about me though so I'll start now!

I have been taking driving lessons since three weeks ago and the only time I get to practice is on the weekends when I'm not in school or at the dorm. I'm very very excited about driving myself places because I wouldn't need to bother my parents to give me a ride. I already have a car. It's a 2010 Toyota Altis. My Dad is talking about selling it to buy me a less expensive car because apparently I have to earn it, but I highly doubt he's serious. 6 more hours of lessons and a lot more practice until I can get my license! So excited!

Okay now on to the fashion! (well duh)

I have been keeping tabs on the Pre-Fall shows and unfortunately only three out of the handful are good.




First is Jason Wu's collection. His designs are young but sophisticated. The collection is stunning! It's all very classy, but very hip. So very Lily Van der Woodsen, but younger. My favorite has to be the nude bejewelled dress and the navy blue coat. You all know I am the biggest fan of lace and I am in love with that black sheer lace shirt. I need that in my closet ASAP! And check out the middle row middle column dress. Didn't I say electric pleats were back in? I used to have a skirt like it! Must go vintage shopping soon! :)




Temperley London showed us lace and jewels this season too, but with a Matador twist! I adore the purple in this collection and the patterns on the lace are absolutely gorgeous. If I were to pick a favorite piece it would be the top right dark purple lace dress. I kind of have a shoe crush on those strappy heels.






Of course, Chanel!!! Karl showed his Byzantine inspired collection in Paris. Chanel insists on reviving tweed so I will oblige them! I have this old tweed jacket at home and a little DIY and maybe it could pass for a Karl Original! Kidding. I really really love this collection. The gold makes everything better! If I were a Turkish Princess I would wear everything here. Alas, I am not so maybe I'll do with an old tweed jacket and some bling. PS. I don't understand why these models are wearing hooves. Horse feet = not attractive. Just saying.

Well that's it! I have class tomorrow and a ton of homework. Did I mention I am broke as a joke? I don't even have two pesos to rub together. Oh c'est la vie!

Here's an AMAZING video of Marion Cotillard for Dior!
