DIY jacket

2007-10-05T12:06:00.001-07:00

I saw this look in Vogue, which I really like.

It inspired me to to something to this short jacket whose sleeves I think are too long.

So I cut the sleeves shorter and sew them up and voila! I have a new jacket. Before the sleeves were all the way to my wrists.

Paris runway

Balenciaga

All the model's in Nicolas Ghesquière's show seems like coming from some future time. I do like many of the prints. Reminds me of old Chinese dress.

Comme des Garçons

To me it seems like a circus, it is hard to pick. But I do like some of the pastel colors and the ruffle.

Jean Paul Gaultier

City cowgirls and adventurers. I like these images. And the orange and blue strips is my favorite.

Junya Watanabe

I like these floral patterns.

Sophia Kokosalaki

I like the grey, silver and black.

Tao

Veronique Branquinho

What I see in this collection is this shade of grayish-blue, does it have a former name?

Viktor & Rolf

This is my favorite collection today. How effective they used black and white. And I love the lace
dress. They all have a 1920's feel.

Wunderkind

I don't like how the animal print is used. But these two dresses are very ethical.

Long print dress

Hemlines are dropping. I first get the idea from an article on Wall Street Journal.Take a look at runway Spring 2008. It seems true:

Anna Sui
Carolina Herrera

Giorgio Armani

Marc Jacobs
The whole D&G collection even seems to dedicate to floral print dress

There are solid color long dresses too. But I only include the long print dress because they are so adorable. And I get a sense that these long dress are not only evening gown anymore. They can be worn on a Saturday morning when going out for a cup of coffee.Although they might seem too over the top for the office.

Some celebrities are spotted wearing long print dresses during the day
Eva Longoria

Olsen

As for getting them, they come in different prices. I would say stick with sleeveless,spaghetti strap or halter.

I browsed on the internet and found them here, here,here,here and here.

Or some vintage ones.

The perfect yellow patent leather shoes

2007-09-24T07:24:00.000-07:00

I came a long way looking for a pair of yellow patent leather shoes. I know exactly how it will look like. But like so many things I conjured in my mind, for a while it seems impossible to find.

Now I think I find one just like what I wanted, at least the look. It is from amazon seller Splash
I just ordered it today.I seldom buy shoes online because I always believed in try on your shoes before you buy. But I can't find anything like it locally and I don't really have time to shop around. I can not handle heels higher than 3" and this color is just right.So I decided to give it a shot.

It is so cheap, I start to worry about its quality. Hopefully it is not too uncomfortable.

Sweater Dress

Knit is big this fall. I am talking about ordinary sweater or those cocoon like bird-shape over size sweater either.

What caught my eyes this fall is the sweater dress. I really like these two Anna Molinari outfit at Fall 2007 RTW:
You can find them everywhere. Since grey is in this fall and it is such a nature tone, goes well with everything, it is no a surprise you can find many of them in grey.
Like this one from J.Crew and this Rebecca Taylor Oatmeal Deep V

I also like them in pattern.
J.Crew New dream Argyle Urban Outfitter Lux Fairsle and

dEliA's Print Iris Sweater Dress

and more!
They come in different price range and style. It can be chic or professional, or both. I can say for everybody but I think it is a must have for fall.
