Escapism by Iris Van Herpen

Escapism collection by Iris Van Herpen in collaboration with architect, Daniel Wildrig with label MGX by Materialise

Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 does not disappoint! So much so, that it was difficult to leave out images of pieces. I love the polka dots, the experimentation with material and texture, and the lines! These pieces are structurally strong but also so complimentary to the female body.. also a nice hybrid of romantic and mod (IMO). THIS is why I love fall.. SO I'll just go into shopping hibernation until then.

Hello Lover!

Winter Wonderland

I've been neglecting my blog for the past week due to a trip to New York for my sister's graduation from culinary school. I spent no time in the city (her school is/was in Hyde Park) so there wasn't much shopping or city venturing but I lived there so it wasn't a big deal to miss out. The only downside was I didn't get to see my pals. My husband and I are planning a trip later this year so we can have some quality NYC time.

I DID enjoy a taste of a real East coast winter, however! I miss real winters and snow and haven't lived in NYC for 4 years so it was a treat. Here are a few photos of the frozen Hudson and a comfortable amount of snow. I love the lines of the tree limbs and the shadows they cast.

Some fashion and art posts forthcoming, but for now I have to watch the Grammys!

Shoe Designer: Chan Jung Kim

Look at these ferocious little beasts! I am in love! Chan Jung Kim is a shoe designer and recent graduate of London College of Fashion. I anticipate more awesome. For now, there is no website so I am unsure of the price range.. I am assuming out of reach for me.

Little Wants

Here is a little hodge podge of fabulous, little, black things some of which I suppose could be suitable for Spring. Spring fashion is popping up everywhere but to be honest I am just not ready.
