Floral Overload: Christopher Kane & Cookies.

Christopher Kane Spring [collection] 2012

 

 

 

  

For whatever reason today I'm feeling florals and felt like digging (going through my phone) for pictures of past flower cookies I've decorated. I love this overcast that is hanging over the south burbs right now. Gloomy days always leaves me feeling pretty complacent.

I guess all these making all these felt roses got me in this whimsical floral mood, it makes sense.

I finished this wreath last night. I wanted to do more of a Halloween theme, but this can stay up longer.

I hope to get into some more crafty business today.

Oo de la-la Renta!

Oscar, Oscar, Oscar; this [collection] is lovely, lovely, lovely.

I never expect anything less. I've been drooling over his dresses since I was 14.

 

THE FULLNESS! I want it to be mine!

I feel like this is very Mermaid-esque, like that mermaid who got plucked out of the sea to attend the ball and then share life's journey with that one prince? Yeah, if any other mermaids get that chance, they'll be begging for some de la Renta threads.

 

Pioneers of the runway. I hope they have small hunting knives in their garders.

Absolutely gorgeous!

 

 

Is it odd that the dress on the left here makes me want to play backgammon? The lines are perfect. Making a statement while slimming the appearance! Two-fer!

 

 

The black and white ensemble would have been impeccable on Natalie Portman for the Oscars last year. I love how this dress is held together and how it looks so delicate, yet dramatic. I wouldn't mind borrowing this blue dress for a Saturday night out...or any other weekday in...

 

 

Flappers can happen everyday. Just remember that. I love this skirt, I really wish that the details were available for that one. It looks like it has so many great effects to it. I'm not a big shoe person, but I would wear these wedges any day.

 

Talk about enthusiasm!

Creatures of the Wind blew ME away!

I knew when I was visiting style.com that I was going to encounter some pretty awesome things.

After all, it's FALL FASHION WEEK! The start to the best time of year. Let's start off with some pretty serious business-

Creatures of the Wind...
you have done it again!*
Spring 2012;

              

 
 

These are some of my favourite pieces from the collection, you can view it in full [here]. The use of colours is phenomenal. It is exactly what I want from spring, without being exceedingly "spring-y". I feel like this collection would reach a lot of people in terms of I really feel anyone could find a shot they love from this. It is extremely eclectic. I wish that the details were up already, but asking for that before the review is posted is setting my expectations too high.

The socks/heel combo is something I ALWAYS want to do, but I never have anywhere to wear these things too. This is one of the reasons I miss high school, it was so nice try out these fashions in my own way and use the hallways as my "funways". Unfortunately, I'm restricted from creativity at work-

(I get away with headbands and neck-bows)

 

and I tend to be suuuccch a homebody that these styles never have a chance to make their way onto my feet. I have a feeling that will all change once we get to Portland. Way-Hey!

I'm just too enamored by Image 01 to even talk about it just yet. I love Image 05; giving of Tinkerbell vibes mixed with Wednesday Addams trying to ditch black and try plaid. The coat in Image 06 paired with that brilliant lime!? Just too divine! ::wildly clapping:: The colour of that coat. I am just on the edge of my seat for the details. PLEASE TELL ME THE DETAILS WILL BE POSTED! I just love the character everything has to it. I'm a huge fan of the way the blue skirt falls and how it lengthens a tad in the back, and how it is paired with such a wonderful shirt that isn't so bold on its own, but pops when thrown against the blue. Each piece is really it's own. The one thing that transcends to each piece is the shoe/sock combo, but I love the use of different lengths in the skirts and the various jacket cuts they used;

 

Even with small details here and there that are similar to one another, everything has such wonderful variation. I seriously need to thrift some shoes like this before the snow is high enough to cover my feet entirely. My sock assortment is already plenty stocked. Although fall fun socks are always on the list to purchase this time of year. Or anytime of year....

Again, knowing that this wonderful duo reigns from Chicago never makes the departure easier.
Seriously; Portillos, NBC Chicago news anchors, and now this?! Aw man!
I am just ecstatic that I am just as in love with this collection as their Fall 2011.

Prepared to be head over heels.
HARDY HAR HAR!
