ace of spades

{one of my favorite kate spade ads}

my love affair with kate spade began when i saw my first pair of ks heels.

they were sleek, subtly sexy, vintage-inspired, and pink,

{everything my pre-teen self could ever want}

and i was completely hooked.

since then i have loved kate in everything from heels to china,

always finding something from her collection that i adore.

now, with her fall 2009 apparel debut, i am as in love with kate as ever.

Cynthia Rowley Fall 09 Preview

I recently received a look book for Cynthia Rowley's Fall 09 collection, full of sequins and shimmer complimenting textured tights and feminine silhouettes. Here are some of my favorites.

I adore the shimmer of the dress coupled with the structured sleeves and feathery necklace.

Those tights and shoes!

This skirt is definitely a favorite from the collection. It is also shown in a royal blue, but I really like the pairing of the orange and brown.

Another shimmery dress with those scrunched booties! I especially love the shape of this dress with the belted waistline and ruffle sleeves.

The menswear inspiration in these pants is great, especially when paired with a chiffon blouse.

Current Obsession: Lanvin

Given my recent desire to completely change my style, it is not at all surprising that I am incredibly drawn to the Lanvin Fall 09 RTW collection. Lately I have been compelled to take on a more subtle, chic style, so I simply adore the styling of the black and nude in this collection. Take a look for yourself and discover the sophisticated, feminine silhouettes that have me drooling...

J'adore Dior

Some of my favorite inspirations from pre-Fall 2009....

Christian Dior combines feminine silhouettes and structure. I also love the splashes of red along with the grey and black. It is one of my favorite ways to add interest to an outfit. 

 

I also really adore this look from Givenchy, especially the structured nude sandals, and hope to recreate it in the near future.

Alexander McQueen was among my favorites mainly because of the playful equestrianism of his collection. 

Overall I found that black is the new black, and architectural femininity is key. What do you think, my lovlies? 

xoxo.
