hair for s/s 2010

I adore fish tail braids/plaits in particular, but do try a classic side braid. There are also milk-maid braids as seen in Oscar de La Renta, which are amazing for those hot days when you need a break from long hair. Alternatives to this include the rope braid and twists. This season Mui Mui took it to extreme lengths, kind of gross. (random, Alexander Wang, Dsquared, Mui Mui s/s 2010.)





























































































40's waves, old Hollywood, Veronica Lake or whatever you like to call it. I suggest saving this for a romantic night on the town with someone beloved. This dates back to last season but it's such a wearable classic, that we just couldn't let go of it. (Christian Dior s/s 2010)














































Chignon & Up-do's - sleek or messy high buns and twisted or tousled chignon, take your pick. Messy up-do's are the most wearable and easiest of all, this is also true with the braid trend. This season Fendi experimented with deformed and loosened topknots. Add glamor to your bun or chignon with accessories or embellishments to your liking. (Lanvin, Zac Posen, Fendi, Narciso Rodriguez s/s 2010) Also, check out Carolina Herrera and Chanel.




























































































Boho 70's, either slicky straight with curled ends or wavy long locks. Either way, the look should speak volumes. (Anna Sui & s/s 2010)























Tousled beach waves seen at Chloe. No summer is complete without beach hair, this is a total no brainer.



















Gucci and 3.1 Phillip Lim had hair slicked back with a side part, which I thought were OK. There were also slicked back trends that I didn't like from MaxMara & Hussein Chalayan that looked greasy, wet at the root and dry at the ends. Something about it was not refreshing to me. What do you think?

azzaro f/w 2010

Alas, I know many fashion weeks have been spitting up great collections for f/w 2010, but I am still too busy obsessing over s/s 2010 because frankly, I'm tired of winter clothing. Living in a climate that doesn't allow to be as fashion forward without getting frostbite is frustrating to say the least. As much as my wallet is willing to suffer for fashion, I'm not sure my toes would last.

On a light note, I am quite infatuated with Azzaro's f/w 2010 collection. Its fragrance line is much more known and credited than its clothing line, such a shame. They are always classic, timeless and overlooked - everyone is too busy obsessing over Balmain and the other big names of fashion.


1. If your romper has dark enough hues, you can truly bring it through to f/w with a pair of tights. This romper feels somewhat military inspired.

2. As for the bubble effect from the next picture, I'm not quite sure I like this at all. However, the detailing on the neckline is flattering against the black and carries forward the mesh, lace and crochet theme we saw for s/s 2010.

3. Further more, the next dress is similar in detail but more like a combination of Wednesday Adams a-la Gossip Girl prep. I think the white in the shoes are a great contrast, I might have preferred a more daring proposition for footwear (maybe a little color, a different tight?).

4. Finally, this is one I truly enjoy. I love the gorgeous neckline, the collar and the military influence. I feel it is classic but daring at the same time... Is that even possible?

The neutrals at Blumarine truly caught my eye this year. There was an abundance of cream colored pieces, neutrals like brown and beige, metallics accents (gold in particular) and military cuts.



This particular dress bellow especially caught my eye. The print is another rendition of tie-dye which we have been so familiar with throughout the fall with all of those acid wash, tie-dyed jeans. The collection had many florescent tie-dyed pieces in a combination of colors but none of those caught my eye, they were borderline tacky to say the least, but this dress is amazing!!
