MANISH ARORA SP2011

I'm not all that familiar with Manish Arora, but the colors and the heavy armor drew me in. I'm big on prints, lovely colors, and accessorizing and this was an all in one deal for me. Loved it.

This outfit os not really my thing, but I will wear whatever that rib cage is attached to. lol. At least that's what I think it is...


This entire outfit does it for me. I would wear it just like that. LOOK AT THOSE LEGGINGS! It's so much at the same time, but for some reason it works for me. Actually...I think I'm good on the shoes. I'd have to see a close up.


This gear is blah, but the leggings and the color of those shoes are delicious.


If this is a bolero and not attached to that oog dress I'm all for it. And excuse me but LATEX KNEE HI'S?! Sounds so wrong...esp in that color...but I think I could do damage. lol.


There goes that lovely coral color again...mmmm :)

BALENCIAGA SP2011

I am SUPER digging Ghesquiere's large super rich in color Houndstooth print. The rest of the collection was cool, but not much I would rock. There was a baby blue and black moto vest that I would consider though. There was also this pants buckled over shirts thing going on that was cool and original, but again, not my style.

LOVE the mix of prints :)


This blue is utterly ridiculous


...and this red gives me life


The moto vest I was talking about. This is also an example of the pants buckled over the shirt thing that I was talking about. It was a very prominent aspect of the collection.

SAM MENDOZA INSTALLATION AT ROCCA

Went to Sam Mendoza's show last night with my lil sis Nay Nay. She's a beauty. I'm working on getting her signed somewhere. lol. The installation was beautiful. The set up was delightful. Afterwards we headed over to the Stuff Magazine Party for a little bit, but called it a night early and headed home. It was a good time.

My lil sis with Mr. Mendoza. Isn't she lovely?



Us in the bathroom a few minutes before we approached the designer. lol.

STEVE MADDEN FOR Z SPOKE BY ZAC POSEN

My oh my! I don't usually care for Steve Madden's interpretation of anything. I find that Aldo does a much better job with that whole deal. I did cop the Steve Madden version of the Balenciaga lego heels a few years back though. I couldn't pass up the chance of owning some piece of that genius. It's crazy to me how both of these companies known for simply creating their own versions of what's on the runway seem to have jumped into creating originals at the same time. But seeing as though I go through periods of not keeping up with things maybe I'm just late. Either way, I want these fuckin shoes. Bad.

ALDO- MACEDO

Most certainly wouldn't mind having this attached to the bottom of my foot.

Christian Siriano Strikes Again

Fuckin Jeebus LOOK AT THEEEEEESE! Sheesh. Mr. Fierce strikes again! Hopefully they don't turn them into something ridiculous looking (see bottom of post). Just as with the Aldo jumpoffs from the last post I've put big pics of the ones I like most. Hope I can snag a pair. Maybe they'll have a limited run online like they did last time. One can only hope.



These are beautiful. I love the scalloped detail.


Ditto.


I can see them leaving these relatively untouched.


Va va voom! I don't have any red shoes! Hmmmm....


A Payless spokesperson said they don't plan on changing them too much, but we all remember this uber disappointment...

How the HELL you turn these...



Into THIS?! (womp, womp, woooommmmmp)

Aldo for Julian Louie

Aldo making an original shoe? Say whaaaaat?! I can dig em. These are the three that I like the most. Hopefully I can get my hands on one when they drop.
