Holy Katrantzou!


Wild florals and outlandish silhouettes = 2014 Mary Katranzou.  The topmost outfit, available here, is lovely, and actually wearable, where as the rest of the dresses are more.... ummm.... theoretical, for me.  As in.... they represent the concept of a really cool dresses that, in a world free from all practical realities, someone might imagine possibly someday wearing....  Lastly, I must say, I am mad for the printed booties. With jeans and a floaty peasant top they could be really fun for summer.  I like the rugged Timberland-like soles... VERY useful for walking the Boston cobblestones :-)


Tickled Pastel

With a color palette reminiscent of gourmet French macarons, Burberry Porsum's 2014 spring line is sweet decadence.  Pour elle: fluffy bags, heavily embroidered, sheer skirts, and candy-colored coats, contrasted elegantly with simple summer sandals.  Vivid colored sunglasses are paired perfectly, and unexpectedly, with the subdued colors of the preppy men's ensembles. The collection is a clear departure from last year's jewel-toned leather trenches and neon, transparent bags.  Instead, Burberry opted for more painterly, delicate details-- down to the pink petals that rained over the runway at NYFW.  For me, Porsum is the yummiest Spring has to offer -- Bon Appétit!

Fashion Week 2014 Top Ten

I'll be honest with you, 2014 is not the best fashion year ever, but these 10 looks (Mostly Burberry and Miu Miu) are so gorgeous and spot on my style, that they actually may be some of my all-time favorites.  While many designers are trying to outfit us in boxy, unflattering tops and leg-shortening cropped trousers, these ensembles are both figure-flattering and feminine.  So what will I rock in 2014?  I'm thinking pastels, a bit of disco, thick, detailed lace and some shiny silk.
