marchesa, milly, oh my!

Alas Fall Fashion Week 2010 in NYC is coming to a close. But these two collections still have me droooooling. The Marchesa gown, the one with all the black and white tulle almost gave me a heartattack. There is NO PLACE I would EVER have to wear such a dress, but it is truly a piece of art and I would buy it to just put on display and admire. The white feathery dress with the black waist is sorta similar to some of the Jason Wu dresses I loved. Hmmm. Let's hope h&m or topshop come out with an awesome knock-off!

While the Milly collection had a few distractions, namely: hot pink tights, green tights, and plaid pumps (I happened to like the berets the models were sporting), I loved the classic French inspiration of the collection. Very school-girl-eque. And I also happened to like the white tights, a little kindergarten cute, but still well done. That said, I think white tights should be left for 5-year-olds or girls with model proportions, juuust sayin.

and i think that will wrap up my runway posts for this fashion week.

layered to a T

FIRST OFF. I would just like to say I loveloveloveloooove fall fashion week. My eyes are having themselves a feast this week. Sorry for the bombardment of a bajillion runway pics. The week is almost over but until then I am going to indulge myself!

These are a few of my favorite looks from Rebecca Taylor's show. All perfectly layered for fall. With feminine touches that I adore, I should add.

By the way there were many more looks of hers that I loved but I thought that might be too much runway for today...

the bangs.

i love erin fetherston. and i loved her aw10 just as much as i loved her ss10 collection. for fall 2010 her muse was Nico and while she did have some pantsuits thrown in there she stayed true to herself with ever-so-perfect flowy dresses.

particularily love the last little number. the bodice is so cute!

but MOST OF ALL i loved the bangs all her models (and she!) were rocking. makes me wish i had the face shape/perfect hair thickness to do it. but of course i don't.

bundle up

The thought of another fall and another winter right now makes me want to crawl into a hole and die, but the fact that there is still at least another month of winter left makes these pre-fall items feel more relevant. This is how I like to do winter. Leggings/tights with a structured jacket (like the first or third) or a HUGE jacket (like the second) with a killer pair of shoes, of course.

But ok, that's enough pre-fall for now, I think I'll stick with dreaming of warmer days for awhile.
