All I have to say is, "sparkly." I love this collection! My favorite is the last dress; it reminds me of one I've seen before, maybe Marchesa? I don't know. Anyway, I just love how the embellishment is kind of nestled in the dress. Oh, and I love the shoes! Platforms are my best friend.
Charlotte Ronson's collection was decidedly less sugary and girly than her usual fare, and thank goodness for that! I call this look "the dark side of Isabel Marant." There are the same plaids, hosiery, boots and vests, but the dark lipstick, slicked-back hair and subdued color palette skew toward somber.
Bibhu Mohapatra used to work for J. Mendel but recently created an eponymous line. I'm loving the color palette and the slight bubble shapes on the dresses. Oh, and the boots! My favorite look is the second to last one, closely followed by Looks #2 and 3.
I found this awesome website today, Candypop, via Hot Chocolate and Mint (whose blog I love!) Unnnnfortunately, I can't read Korean, so...yeah. But I must say, for an online shop, they do a great job of styling the clothing. Forever 21 should take a note from them!
I just finished reading Purgatorio, in which Dante travels through Purgatory with Virgil and, at the end, meets up with Beatrice, his love. She is a vision, but she speaks sternly with him, trying to impart maximum knowledge in a minimal amount of time. Honestly, I didn't really like her character -- but I definitely had fun coming up with an outfit for her. Since she's in heaven, I was looking for wing earrings, but found these ones that look like harps. I had originally put her in a white dress, but then I remembered that blue is considered a holy color (that's why Mary is often wearing blue in religious paintings). Dante meets her in a Garden of Eden-like place, so the rest of her jewelry is leaflike.
This may be one of my favorites. Here's Juliet, not looking very girly at all, except for that frilly shirt. I picked the puff shorts because they remind me of what the male actors were wearing in Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet. My Juliet is a tough girl, so she wears flat boots and carries a messenger bag. Lace tights for a touch of romance, a "letter" clutch (for all that miscommunication), and finally, a vial of "Poison." Gosh, I crack myself up.
When you're a Jet... - by silentspring on Polyvore.com Finally, this one is inspired by the one female character in the Jet gang from West Side Story. Some rugged jewelry that'll come in handy for a fight, the requisite leather jacket and sleeveless shirt for the "neighborhood tough" look, and jeans and Converse sneakers for the ultimate comfort when hopping fences and fighting Sharks.
