Sweatshirt Chic.



August 14, 2013

As I type, it’s currently 98 degrees in good ol’ Texas…yeah, at night! That’s what you sign up for a Texas summer. That being said, I’m not exactly sure why I’m even thinking of sweatshirts…but I am. (fashion girl brain, always months ahead) While I can’t wear them now, I’m getting excited for the day I can wear sweatshirts. And I’m not talking oversized, ex-boyfriend’s college sweatshirt, I’m excited about the endless options of sweatshirts and sweaters in the most luxe fabrics in sporty cuts.

For some reason, the Givenchy Fall/Winter 2013 collection popped into my head, reminding me of the super cool Bambi sweater that Ricardo Tisci sent down the runway. I need to somehow get my hands on this sweater. You can dress it up with a chic lace pencil skirt, wear it casual with a leather biker jacket, or make it playful by pairing it with sequins. It’s quirky but one of those iconic pieces that is fun to have in your closet. Hopefully it’s not sold out (here) before I can afford it.

Amanda Seyfried Givenchy FW 2013

Amanda Seyfried looks amazing in the ad campaign for the Givenchy Fall/Winter 2013 collection. The berry lip and nonchalant hair tucked into the Bambi sweater are just perfect. This shows you how well Ricardo Tisci does gypsy goth.

Here are some other options for sweatshirt chic come fall!

Runway Review. Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2013.



March 5, 2013

Saint Laurent. Fall/Winter 2013.

Hedi Slimane is off in his own little world designing for the house formerly known as Yves Saint Laurent. While this is only his second collection for the line he promptly renamed Saint Laurent Paris (and then moved the design studio to Los Angeles…huh?), Slimane gave us ‘haute couture made grunge’ per Kristen Dunst who was one of the celebrities at the show. While his first collection for Saint Laurent was 70’s hippie rock chic, with wide brimmed floppy hats and flowy maxi skirts, this collection was quite the opposite. Fall/winter 2013 spoke to 1990’s Seattle grunge rather than the iconic motifs from the YSL collections of decades past. Think Courtney Love. The collection featured a plaid babydoll mini dress with a sweet Peter Pan collar, floral dresses with oversized boyfriend sweaters, lots of leather in biker jackets, mini skirts, slashed leggings. Many of the looks either were characterized by a jacket/grandpa sweater over a dress or  a loose bow detail at the collar.

Saint Laurent Fall-Winter 2013

Monsieur Saint Laurent was one to push the envelope but his collections always had a classic element to them. I’ll admit, there were some cool looks in the show, but none of it was reminiscent of the house of Yves Saint Laurent. It reminded me of a Marc Jacobs or Alexander McQueen punk/grunge collection. I understand the YSL brand wants to capture a younger customer but they can’t forget who has the spending power. This new direction they have taken is moving them further away from the elite category with the likes of Chanel and Dior.  In an effort to be different, Hedi Slimane did something that was not directional nor original. Sure all the cool LA girls will grab up the ripped leather leggings and oversized sweaters….but I’m pretty sure I can get all of that right now at Zara, ASOS, Topshop, etc, etc.

Haute Obession. Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal Studded No-heel Bootie.



July 23, 2012

I was dreading going through my inbox this morning when I stumbled upon this beauty. OMG. Is this not an amazing piece of work? I nearly fell out of my chair when I opened the email from Bergdorf Goodman that featured this amazing shoe. I’m not typically a fan of extreme spikes but these just work. The heel-less style with the multi-tone crystals and well-placed spikes come together for a killer design. These are just one of the heel-less offerings from the Fall/Winter 2013 collection from Giuseppe Zanotti.

Only two requirements for those who want to wear these shoes: a bad-ass outfit and good balance.

Get these bad boys at Neiman Marcus for $2950 and more show-stoppers at Bergdorf Goodman.
