Washington Auto Show

I went to the Washington Auto Show for the first time last year. It was really interesting, though I wish they had had more concept cars. Pics below, enjoy!

 I love that the Mustangs have fish gills.

 This is the fastest car running on vegetable oil on Earth. How cool is that?? The engineers were really nice and explained everything!

 This car was soooooooooooo cool! It's a concept car, and the doors have no handles... it was awesome. I can't remember which make it was though. I think maybe Lexus?

 I feel like Batman would drive this car.

 The original Fiat. How cute!

Did you enjoy the break from fashion? I think I am going to incorporate more of the things I do in general... I figure it'll be fun for everyone, and I'll have more to post about.

London Fashion Week Part 2

Once again, London Fashion Week is my favorite. The color, the prints... as a whole, LFW just screams "daring". I'm really looking forward to dressing in acidic bright colors, digital prints and patterns, metallics and sheen.

 Not sure what's up with the feather fauxhawk, but whatevs. I love this print! Doesn't it remind you of a QR code?

 Mary Katrantzou, don't even get me started. Who else would make a print out of pictures of lawns, typewriters, pencils, and spoons? And not even a drawing of those things, but actual pictures? To top it off, they're wearable! Yes, they are "look at me" pieces, but overall, they're not unnecessarily over the top. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Mary K. is the queen of prints. All hail.

Will mustard yellow make a comeback?

 What I wouldn't do to get my hands on these sneakers...

London Fashion Week FW 2012 - Part 1

New York Fashion Week FW 2012

Boy, oh boy -- New York fashion week.

 This showing by Threeasfour was my absolute favorite. What the hell is it?? I haven't the slightest idea, but I know I enjoy the diced-up landscape prints, and the fractal embellishments. (Fractals are cool, FYI. Nerd moment over.)

Tess Giberson was another collection that caught my eye. If you happen to know how to knit or crochet, you could probably copy some of the accessories, like that vest... thing that's in the second picture. Personally, I really liked the thin harness shown in the third picture.

While I find myself moving away from this 60's schoolgirl style, I still appreciate several things about it, like the low heels, clean silhouettes, and emphasized collars.
