5 for Monday

 

Win                                                   Fail

Last night’s 2012 Golden Globe awards had winners, losers, and more then enough ??? to make the shows lackluster appeal even more noticeable.

 

 

 
Had some yeas and nays in the book reading department. Go see what thrilled and chilled me and my fellow reviewers at my home away from home…Smexybooks.

 

 

Jason Wu’s Full Look Book for Target. Make your calendars!! Jason Wu’s line comes to Target Feb 5th.

What’s coming to my store.

Tempting Thursday-Jason Wu Look book for Target

Everyone has been chomping at the bit to see everything Jason Wu has in store for his Target début. Well, chomp no more. Below is an almost complete look book. With his clean lines, elegant palette of colors, and near to nothing prices ($19.99-$59.99) this line is sure to be a huge hit.

Remember though…this line only runs from February 5 through March 6. So you need to shop hard and fast before it ends.

First Look At Jason Wu for Target Looks Tres Chic

 

Though the pieces won’t hit the floor or online till 2/5…I have some sneak peeks to help tide you over till the big event.

Jason Wu embodies a feminine classic look. Modern yet timeless. Perfect for any age and able to withstand many seasons. Elegant lines with hints of flirty-ness in the print or swish of the full skirt. So it’s no surprise to see that he has continued this even with his line for Target.

 

I love the fact that while he doesn’t copy from his runway line, this collection still says in a firm voice, “This was designed by Jason Wu.” The whole line (from what I’ve seen) has a wonderful expensive look to it that is sure to please even the most fickle of fashionistas.

 

The entire line was inspired by a little black cat named Milu who adorns some of the accessories (I die). The collection has a tres chic French gamine vibe going on. Pleated frocks with sailor-striped hemlines, adorable Peter Pan collars, delicate silk blouses with floppy neck ties, and t-shirts and trench coats with a touch of lace.

It’s that time again-New York Fashion Week

Maybe its the economy but classic clean lines and bright eye catching colors are dominating the runway this Spring.

Here’s some peeks at who has already shown.

I love wide leg trousers. This trend never went out of style for me.

Full Skirts

Full skirts brings back the age old adage that less is not necessarily better.

 

Loungewear

Being an entrepreneur (that's fancy talk for self employed and broke:)) I appreciate the versatility of pajamas that look both stylish and chic.

 

The Halter Top

I love the more intricate draped necklines with the chocker type clasps. This is what I shall be wearing as I lounge on the Riviera sipping mimosas with Julio, the pool boy.

 

Chartreuse Forever

Chartreuse is a chameleon color. Sometimes green. Sometimes yellow. Not for everyone. Either way, this jewel of a shade shall always remain close to my heart.

Fashion Week 9/10/2010

Day 2 at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week was just as stunning as Day 1.

 

Jason Wu- His Spring Resort Collection was a plethora of strong yet feminine styles. Since I am all about low key I loved his use of fresh spring colors within a muted palate.

Rag & Bone-Their sporty collection of bandeau tops, sheer pants, long skirts and colorful prints were cute but come together a bit haphazard and messy. And the hanging gathers (?) just did me in.

BCBG Max Azria-Ethernal,goddess, and fairy like came to mind viewing BCBG’s Spring Collection. I like they are going back to the beginning.

Port 1961-The use of jewel colors and flowing designs created a sophisticated tropical illusion.
