Victim by Mei Hui Liu Spring/Summer 2008

The Victim line by Mei Hui Liu is a bit odd, but not so much that it is completely un-wearable. The pieces themselves are gorgeous with the layers and flowing materials. They do sort of remind me of vintage clothing that you might find at an antique estate sale or a flea market, but I [...]

Isabel Marant Spring/Summer 2008

This collection is so fabulous. It’s like feminine beauty mixed with tomboy chic. I love it. The army camouflage prints are fabulous, and the drawstring trousers are so comfortable. Even the rolled pant legs are great. The whole collection screams “wear me!”. I love the use of scarves, although some think they have been overdone. [...]

Anna Sui Spring/Summer 2008

I love this one! The colorful striped hair that the models wore just makes the collection seem that much more interesting. The make-up on the models was great too. I think Anna Sui has done a wonderful job, not only looks of the models and with the cuts and the fabrics, but the colors are [...]

Prada Spring/Summer 2008

I can’t say that I hate this collection, but it may really have to grow on me before I say that I love it. There were a few really great pieces. The dress in the first picture below is beautiful. I love the cut and the colors are amazing. There were some pieces, however, that [...]

Igor Chapurin Spring/Summer 2008

I really liked the Chapurin line. The dresses almost make me think of sweet little girls heading to Church. The colors are beautiful and so spring-like, and the cuts and designs are fabulous. I didn’t really care very much for the white make-up around the eyes of his models, but the designs really won me [...]

Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2008

This was a really beautiful collection. Now, I realize that I’m a little slow in getting you the pictures (the show was held last month), but they are definitely worth the wait. The whole theme seemed to be a 1920’s Bonnie and Clyde type feeling. I love the “flapper” look in many of the pieces. [...]

Manish Arora Spring/Summer 2008 in Paris

I love the colors in this collection. Manish Arora has certainly brought out all the colors of spring in this vividly done runway show. One of the tops looks like a comic book page, and there was even a dress with the “Chutes and Ladders” game board on it. Very unique and beautifully done. The [...]

Sue Wong Spring/Summer 2008 Los Angeles

Now, first of all, I didn’t care too much for the overly made up models. I mean, the make-up was just shy of scary, and some of the head pieces were a little over the top too. But Sue Wong did a wonderful job with the clothing designs. I love the colors in all the [...]

Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer 2008 Paris

Okay, this was probably the most unique (weird maybe?) collection by far that I have seen this season. Jeremy Scott’s models all looked like they had been at the bad end of a mud slinging contest. But, weirdness aside, the clothes are great. I love the leggings that look like a ruler. And the models [...]

Nail Color Goes Organic

Everywhere you go, you hear about organic this and organic that. It is becoming quite a buzz word. Don’t get me wrong. I like eating organic food. What is not to like about food that hasn’t been grown using pesticides or chemicals? I recently ate my first organic banana and I have to admit [...]
