Alice + Olivia Pre-Fall 2012

I don't think I've ever been so enamored with a collection. I have always been a fan of Alice + Olivia's effortlessly cool charm; the sweet rebellion like nature of their clothing has always been one of my favorite to see season after season. I think I adore this line so much because it combines high fashion with the ease of being able to wear in real life. I love fashion, don't get me wrong, but if I were to wear half of the looks that come of the runway here in Georgia, I would get even more blatant stares than I already do. Alice + Olivia, however, make high fashion clothing that is extremely wearable while still looking ultra chic and fashionable. Season after season, this line puts out clothing that every music and art obsessed girl would die, or bleed, for. This season is undeniably the most amazing I have seen. Each look is the French girl, chic and edgy look that seems to be a paradox, but is easily put into effect by this house. From the fabrics and the cat eyed glasses, to the platform shoes and maxi skirts, this collection is undeniably one of my favorites of Pre-Fall. I love the contrast of showing skin yet having maxi skirts and the contrasts of fabric and patterns.

I hope I'm not the only one who enjoys this collection so immensely, leave me some thoughts!

After Christmas Shopping and a Haircut

I went shopping yesterday and picked up some much needed clothing and accessories. Today I got a haircut.

Here is the lovechild of both events.

My "leather lunchbag" purse is from Zara and my Camel colored wedges are from Zara as well.

The tank top is from Urban Outfitters, and the sweatpants are from Express.

 

I got this necklace last week from Forever 21, the elephant ring was given to me by a friend, and the leaf ring was picked up from Forever 21 yesterday

 

I love the rouche detailing in these sweatpants from Express.

 

The jewel ring was thrifted at a Vintage store in Virginia last Spring.

 

I love this purse! The studded detailing is great.

Collection Review Chanel Pre-Fall 2012

 

There is a special place in my heart for Coco, Chanel and Mr.Lagerfeld himself, and not just because my name resembles so closely that of the legendary founder of this house. My love and appreciation for Chanel is much deeper than something as vain as a name. Chanel is the one house who I never seem to tire of, constantly refreshing and revamping my idea of fashion and what creates a "good" or "proper" outfit or look. Chanel is classic, that much is implied. The house is dramatically different than it was when it was under the direction of Gabrielle herself, but how is that NOT expected? Chanel went from being a simple hat shop to a fashion empire. This collection shows exactly how diverse Chanel is. Under the incredibly talented influence of Karl Lagerfeld, this renowned house took a trip to India, and did it with incredible grace and style. This collection is as diverse as it is stunning; some pieces seem completely influenced by Indian culture, while some manage to be completely Chanel, sans the headpiece. The color in this collection is absolutely incredible, a range of both shades and palettes that manage to incorporate the vivid culture that India is known for.
