Pense Printemps!

With the fall fashion collections debuting in February, now is an excellent time for regular people like myself (meaning non-celebrity, I hate the term regular but is sounds better than ordinary) to start pondering over our looks for spring.

I have been reviewing the Spring 2011 runways shows from this past September and catching up on the ones I missed. I always prefer Spring in terms of weather, but the Fall collections really sollicit my exicitement in a way Spring never can.

Nonetheless, I was still able to find some looks for Spring that spoke to me. When I say "spoke to me" it doesnt necessarily mean that I would wear the look or even like it.. more so that it captured my interest. However, these looks below I really did like, I will share some looks on another day that captured my interest that I didnt really like so can you see what I mean.

Zac Posen: Ombray, need I say more? I always go for anything ombray




Balmain: (the I- is silent Beyonce-uggghh-- just another reminder)

I dont think anything will compare to Balmain's 2009 Spring and Fall collections, I will never get over my love affair with the strong shoulder look. However, I do adore embellishment and deconstruction...

Lanvin:

At the moment I happen to be into Gray and Green tones and these have sparkle and embellishment and texure. These looks make me think of Serena as they are colors she usually wears and she almost always has some type of embellment happening

This looked waaay better on my favorite Blake:

Marc Jacobs:

I have to admit, I have been on a long journey trying to understand and come to terms with Marc Jacobs. Everyone loves him and I just didnt get it, sure I found a few items here and there that I loved, but overall I was mostly confused and felt like an outsider. His Spring collection I am proud to say that I totally get it !! Which makes me think that those who normally worship him may not like this collection. Anyhow, I know that I definately would love to feel like a giant flower especially during springtime. I would love to know how much that mustard dress is because I am dying to purchase it, I really think it would de-emphasis my arms that I hate so much

Chanel :) :

You can absolutely NEVER go wrong with Chanel, it is a classic that never disappoints

Great mixing of prints! something I am trying to master- I know the rules but cant seem to get it quite right

I will be looking to recreate this look for sure-- minus the shoes (they are not for me- I guess once in while Chanel can disappoint)

Erdem:

I loved just about everything from Erdem's Spring Collection it is pretty and dainty. I could never get tired of florals in spring, I suppose I am very traditional in that respect. I also like that they repeated that red skirt with two different tops, they arent exactly the same but just about. I really need to be invited to more tea parties......

Still reviewing the runways...... more to come :)
