Mid-Week Inspiration:Chanel Resort 2010



I'm loving the French sailor looks from Chanel's Ready to Wear Resort 2010 collection. The whole collection has a sort of silent movie look to it with the hairstyles and dark eye makeup. The catwalk is a Venice Lido boardwalk, a favorite destination of Coco Chanel's. The looks range from Victorian seaside wear to 1920's cocktail dresses. There were even some parasols! As always, Karl Lagerfeld is spot on.

Mid-Week Inspiration: Erin Fetherston Fall 2009


Erin Fetherston's shows are always very whimsical and fun. Her Fall 2009 Ready to Wear collection is no exception and many are heralding it as her best show yet. Inspired by toys that come to life, the collection is a sort of Alice in Wonderland meets the Nutcracker. Being a sucker for point d'esprit and stripes I especially loved the pouffy cocktail dress pictured above with matching tights and the red satin mini with striped hose and buckled Mary Janes.
