California Dreaming, On Such A Winter's Day

Diane von Furstenburg's Spring 2010 collection is spectacular. It has a mixture of tribal and patterned mini and maxi dresses as well as some more cocktail chic draped dresses and pant sets. All the warm and exuberant colors make me wish summer would hurry itself up so I can opt for a more free-spirit attire and store away all these scarves and sweaters I have been depending on in the winter! Also love how diverse her models are. From watching how she interacted with Whitney on The Hills (Guilty pleasure ;-]) she seems like a really charming and humbled designer.

You Give Me Butterflies...

Spring 2009 RTW: Diane von Furstenberg, Badgley Mischka, Collette Dinnigan, Tibi

An ethereal and delicate motif for the warm weather. I'm not too crazy about butterflies, they have always been a tad bit tacky to me, Mariah Carey sort of jaded the whole concept for me...I don't see myself in any of these pieces either. But, I did get a little experimental in the past couple of weeks: I sewed my first skirt. Major accomplishment for me though! It incorporates the butterfly detail and the African/tribal print trend that is making its way around the runway.


I got really lazy making this skirt, but it took only about 3 days to do it (spending about 3hrs a day). I'm a neophyte to the whole sewing thing, but my goal is to get out that category this summer and stitch up some skirts. It covers my knee when worn on my hips, but I prefer it higher up with my little cinch Marc Jacobs belt.
