The Green and Grey of It
Miu Miu Of a Different Age yet Timeless
It is impossible to speak of a 40’s cinematic aesthetic without
Miu Miu’s 2011 fall collection.
I gushed over this collection when it first debuted, at the time, on my Tumblr page I wrote:
"Out of all the fall's collections this was my most coveted. Subtle in its’ play on classic silhouettes it
becomes about the art of the finish details. The large buttons the
floral the sequined birds create a tone of whimsy while still these
looks demand a elegant seriousness. A glamour not to be trifled with but
can still spark fantasy."
Looking back I still swoon but
more importantly I see its relevance to the fall collections of now.
The silhouette speaks to the return of suiting, and turns to a different
proportion one that is larger with shoulders (bye -bye maxi dress), the appliques of
glittery birds and florals hint to the hyper
embellishment that is now in, then the modernizing of fur, and the use bright
color that is now every wear! Miuccia Prada is ever pushing us forward in how we dress
and she certainly did so with a classic kid-glove and this
stunning collection.

The Soceity Slouch Vogue 10/10
“LOVE THE SLOUCH”
This fashion shoot comes entirely from Vogue. The joining article (HERE) is
all about “The Society Slouch” – the new cocktail dressing. “The Slouch”
refers to a looseness, an ease to clothing and life. It is a style about
the lux sex appealed of fabric, draping, and mystery as appose to the
body-con dress and stiletto look. These women show case their style more
than their cleavage. What you get in place of vulgarity are looks that tell you a story. A narrative not necessarily
of this time and place but one that brings together classic literature and cocktail
notions.
Bijoux #2
This is another great jewelery design mood board. Different shapes and trends all inspired by the deep green of the emerald. Not only a redheads best friend but it remains a classic amongst the color craze of late. Think emerald is the new navy. This color is so rich that even the fine cut dresses (one the most refined by Jil Sander Spring 12 line) seem to act like full body jewelery. Confident, daring and mouth watering. Just like the redheads who wear it well!
-I am dedicating this post to my sister, as this is her favorite color for a reason! I hope she packs some emerald in her luggage as she sets off for a summer in Rome! Kiss Kiss.

A Marc Jacob's Palate
Overall I am a fan of Marc Jacob, because he is a fan of Art. The
artist side of the brand really shows through in all of his marketing
campaigns: recognizable, quirky, well lit and photographed from
interesting perspectives. I have had many favorite Marc Jacob adds over
the years. This particular series I like for the lighting and the
palate. the youthful grunge look is great well.
