Collection.

Cruise Collection or is it Resort Collection? Personally cruise applies more to me in the event that me and my family usually cruise every year, but I can see how resort does apply. I just don't understand at the current time why people call it Resort, and some people call it Cruise.... Cant we all just get along and call it Vacation Collection, then it would target all of us travelers on cruises and at resorts (any opinions?). Besides my little self realization on the topic of the collections I spent all morning observing them. I found alot of great collections, and some gloomy ones. Don't get me wrong they are all really spectacular but some just use some really grim colors that I don't think most people would want to vacation in, more of a fall collection but some really great stuff. If you haven't looked at the resort/cruise collections yet, I really suggest you take a peek. If you to lazy like I usually am heres some of my favorite collections.

Helmut Lang: This is the kind of clothes that I could wear with anything, and when your cruising, or vacationing as you know. You want stuff that will go with anything, so you can change it up about 3 times a day. I personally cant get over those shoes, and in general would just love all of this in my closet for everyday.

Marc Jacobs: My second true love when I was introduced to the world of fashion (next to Dior) So I couldn't really ignore the fact that I absolutely love everything this man produces. Everything.

Bill Blass: Usually I am not so much of a Bill Blass fan, but this house can create the most amazing dresses and has such rich colors. Currently addicted to any kind of crazy bright pattern he had me quite excited, I am surprised we don't see much of this house on the red carpet. But someone get me that last dress, Its stunning.


Lanvin: The modern edge of elegance I think. Every collection is usually in my top 10 and the Lanvin line is always completely genius. I also loved that he actually used Jeans in the collection, finally realization that people do wear jeans, not just gowns everyday! Majority of people complain that to many people wear Lanvin, but just as the brand is projected to make a woman feel absolutely fabulous, thats why people are wearing the clothes, it makes them feel fabulous. I mean I know it would make me feel that why by just looking at it. And once again... these shoes are phenomenal, every season as well I just lust over his shoes.



Besides lusting over clothes I cant really afford until they pop up on Ebay ill continue. Also I am quite happy to inform that I purchased new shoes, and they should be in my hands tomorrow. I went behind your backs and bought a completely different shoe than the Aldo ones, It was just to hard to decide anyways so I went with these:

I took this picture from Lady Melbournes site, because little did I know until just yesterday that we have the same exact shoes, well Ill have mine tomorrow. And as for today, my theme is "Go Max or Go home" Im breaking my maxi dress out for the beautiful weather that this side of the USA has been soaking up. Although Ive had this maxi dress for over a year and the maxi craze has just advanced, I thought id take it out for a boho test drive.

Ello, Jackie O.

I hope everyone had a lovely fathers day, and also a great weekend. I was a horrible blogger and dont really do much internet surfin' on the weekends. Ive got an apartment to clean and shopping to do... ha ha but this weekend I was catching up on my tan in the absolutely beautiful weather SLC has been having... finally. But this morning I dreaded going to class and work after such a relaxing weekend, so upon my daily routine of picking out the days best, I hit a road block, so when in doubt... wear an LBD.... and after accessorizing and doing the put 3 things on take one off, and oh wait that one too. The product was this:

Nothing wrong with alittle Jackie O.

The Buzz.

The leggings / tights as pants phenomena has become quite the latest buzz in the fashion world, but lets be honest... they have been around from quite some time. Although I must admit I love leggings and tights from time to time they just need to be worn appropriately. (Nylon's image is a great example of ways not to wear them!). So Before I completely disregard tights as pants, I had to figure this phenomena for itself. Truth is I have a few rules before accomplishing the “tights as pants” look. First I shall never pull a Siena, Lohan, or Britney and wear a short shirt with just tights… its gotta at least be tunic length… So in which with the appropriate length one can pull off such a look and with the right tights... as such I find it to be very well done.

The attempt:






The Verdict:

I enjoy this. When the appropriate length is used of course!

Trousers and the City

Work is boring, so its left me no choice but to watch all 56 collections from F/W08 on Style.com. I know I am slacking in that department, we are already on Cruise collection! I am on 30/56 so ill be done soon and on to the next, but is it just me or are we going extra fast through each collection... what happened to every 6 months (except for Couture and Cruise collections). If only I could afford everything I lust over each season. Yet I am a college student and have to be thrifty and extremely Ebay aware, but us fashionistas make it on a budget... we just buy the really really good stuff... :)

On that note my fellow bloggers I need opinions... ive been looking at Aldo lately with quite an interested eye, Ive found a few pairs of shoes I am excited about and need to limit it to one..maybe. (I have a shoe purchase I am saving up for) So input would be greatly appreciated!
