louis vuitton fall 2010

if marc jacobs showed little girls playing dress up for his own runway show, his girl was all grown up by the time his show for louis vuitton rolled around. a similar vibe, very mid century secretary a la mad men, the difference - the figure. curves were the most important accessory for this show, at some points almost spilling over. a strong message in such a weight obsessed industry. if it wasn't clear throughout the show that the body is back, i think it rang loud and clear when elle macpherson was sent down the runway to close the show. i'm in.

stunning.

marie claire uk : april 2010

the latest issue of uk marie claire features the ridiculously gorgeous diane kruger. i am obsessed with her style, both personal and red carpet. for the most part, i'm not a huge fan of marie claire's editorials but this shoot really highlights her versatility. she manages to make the same look sultry in one photo and edgy and cool in another. beautiful.

the history of love - nicole krauss

i just recently decided to revisit my absolute favorite book - the history of love by nicole krauss. every time i open it up (it lives beside my bed and has for nearly 5 years) i am reminded of it's brilliance. in addition to being so moving and beyond well written, this is a book that could easily be judged by it's cover. genius - the old typewriter font, coupled with the back image that is at once blissful and somber, light and heavy, abstractly the sea or the sky. the cover design perfectly captures the essence of the novel which beautifully walks the line between love and heartbreak, old and young, life and death. it is both devastating and inspiring. a memorable read.

it happens every year- the never-ending piles of slush and freezing temperature start to take their toll. i start each morning mentally relocating (i am on a beach, i am on a beach). right about now those daydreams need to become reality. it is beyond time to flee this weather and get some much needed sun and relaxation. i try to catch it before it starts to affect my mood but i fear this year i'm a bit late. i need to be on the next flight out....

fashion editorials are meant to inspire. to fantasize clothing and bring them to life by telling a story - allowing the clothing to be the narrative supported by their setting. this story, from paris vogue's february 2010 issue, is no exception. in fact - it does what, in my opinion, american vogue has fallen short on of late. it is at once fresh, edgy, beautiful and creative. above all - inspiring.

sequins, feather, velvets, shimmering pvc? marc jacob's fall 2010 runway show was certainly not without texture. effortlessly coordinating tweeds, furs, leather and seemingly anything else he could get his hands on, the collection had the feel of a little girl playing dress up. how appropriate. what girl doesn't want to wear it all at once?

chris benz fall 2010

chris benz's fearless use of color in his fall 2010 collection has given a refreshing jolt to the disheveled 1970's inspired looks we've seen coming down the runways. all of the elements are here; fur, embellishment, retro silhouettes, and perhaps most important - a full spectrum of muted down colors. it may still be raining (or snowing rather) but it seems likely that when you look close enough, the colors are trickling back in.
