Some Looks I liked From my Two Favs:

Because I need to post something and have about as much creative energy as Snooki's left nipple here are some looks I liked from the 2010 fall collections of Tory Burch and Milly.  Milly's collection was adorable and obvious that she is basically trying to play wardrobe designer for Gossip Girl.

 

 
        
Milly kept it glamourous and ultra femme while Burch went in a different direction; she made it cool to be a tomboy.  I like some of the pieces, but not all of them together, always.

For instance I'm only really into the Black Big-Bird look in the skirt (see below). Which btw is still available at Calypso for $200.

That red dress is a calling my name!

The Olympics and Who Won the Golden Ticket

I have literally been glued to the chair (I would say couch, but, we don't have one) watching the Olympics.  One of the things that sucks about working from home is I normally don't see people or smell fresh air until after 5:30, but when the olympics is on during the day, its almost like I have human contact, and what better human contact to have than with the US Curling team.  I don't know what's more boring, curling or eighth period math class.  On a Friday.  I mean, I guess we need to be respectful of them because apparently they can do something that no many other people can do, but isn't it more like they can do something that no one else want's to do?  I don't really see the Captain of the men's Ice Curling Team getting mad tail left and right or an endorsement from even the local burger shack.  But still, I keep it on in the background, mostly because Law and Order isn't on yet and if I have to watch another 16 year old from the bible belt talk about how they are having their baby because they don't believe in abortion any more, I'm going to stick a hanger up my hoo-ha just because.  Thanks MTV.

I know, the excitement is too much.

I'd like to think we watch and are filled with love and pride in our country, but really I feel that it only reaffirms our latent racism, especially against Asians.  Take for instance the crash in Apollo Anton Ohno's first race, where he took the Silver medal, really by default.

I would elaborate on the above further, but no matter how I attempt to phrase this its not coming out right and I'd rather not offend an entire race of people with Centuries of culture and 30% in Ivy League Schools.  I find it pertinate however to comment on Apollo's chin pubes.  Is there a particular reason he feels the need to die that thing?

It's not working for me, but Mozl Tov, best of luck, win a gold medal and then engage in your normal polyamourus activities.  I do have to say, the speed skating onesies makes the snowboarding outfits cool.  I didn't know Gap was sponsoring the snowboarders!  I mean the "darty" look isn't exactly helping us out any.

I guess I don't mind the madras that much its the faded, distressed "jeans" that really get me.  I do have to say, I have a new found respect for snowboarding as a sport and found the commentary from the bro's in suits very entertaining. "Its a double twisting, inverted, triple flip, fried potato and he just ate that! Oh maaannn, he just got laid outtttt."  Speaking of which... carrot top just won!  I'm watching him and his coaching staff, also known as the people who are buying later, exchange gnarly congrats and then drop the f bomb on live TV.  You can't get this in figure skating.  What you can get? Feathers.  I didn't think it was quite possible to be gayer than Johnny Weir but apparently its is and that it is name is Evan Lysacek.

I would say more, but the feathers speak for themselves.  Be sure to watch tomorrow in the medal meet!  I'll be at Kush lounge, come by if you are around! Buy a bangle.

NYC Fashion Week 2010: Trend Report, DVF

Heres some looks from Madame Prespertate of the CDFA, Diane Von Furstenberg.

DVF designs are undeniably girlie with a smack of the unexpected in the form of bright colors or cooky patterns.  Von Furstenberg always seems to get it right, designing for women at every stage in their lives.  There was a definite correlation between her fall fashion show and this line by the way of lots of black pieces accented with bright neon hues.  She also played with texture a great deal adding a lot of fluff and fur where you least expect it.

The gray dress comprised of layered ruffles looks sharp with a crushed velvet boyfriend blazer. Both looks (above and below) show how easy it is to make separates work for day and night, even when chiffon and ruffles are involved. 

 Above, a statement making cocktail dress to say the least.  Layers and layers of chiffon work hard to create this look.  Below, something a little more wearable yet nonetheless chic and modern.  DVF is known for her wrap dresses, but this one is on a whole other level.  Shown with bear legs, it would look great with some black opaque tights and booties.

 The schoolgirl look is making a big comeback on the runways, but done here in a sheer chiffon blouse paired with  a metallic mini and blazer, it looks a little more graduated.

 The print skirt is going to be popping up everywhere on red carpets, maybe even by one time DVF employee Whitney Port, who would look great in this outfit.

 A suit never looked this cool.

A drop-waist and full skirt can look dowdy with a cardigan, but the fabrication choices makes this look fresh and youthful.

 The harem pant is a tough look, but here it is scaled down and complimented with a long sheer tunic.

 Leather + fur= lux

 And then a crazy print thrown into the mix for good measure.

 This jumpsuit is to DIE for!

Again, DVF pairs some day time slacks with a sequined cardigan and the look transcends the clock. 

 The furry skirt was also seen at the Adam. 

 The little black dress above can be worn by a woman of any age.  Below, this gown embodies the line with a metallic top and black chiffon draping.
