More Fashion Week

You thought I was done with Fashion week, at least for today, huh? Too bad. (You know you want more)



Just thought I'd give you a review of a few more designers while the baby still is napping. First off - pictures from Chapurin's spring 2010 RTW line will not be shown here... I clicked the "no adult content" button when signing up for my blog and let me tell you - there are a lot of nipples in that fashion show. A lot more than I ever wanted to see on a runway. Seriously - all the tops are see through! Like not even trying to NOT be see through. The mom in me groans very loudly.

However, Valentino's was simply amazing. They're gorgeous. In fact, it was hard for me to pick just three. I wanted to add them ALL here.

This is Louis Vitton. The best one out of the fashion show. Now we know why we only know them for their bags.

And because we know that everyone wants to see the Alexander McQueen collection.

I actually like this one - it's kinda ethereal.

I just wanted to know if this model got in trouble for not looking like she was going to eat the audience.

I think that this dress's shape is beautiful and would look great if it didn't look like you were looking into the inside of an alien's body.

Whew, fashion.

So fashion week is going on in NYC. Anyone else want to hop a plane and go? I'd love to go. I think it's something I'm going to add to my list of stuff I want to do before I die.

Anyway, want a recap of yesterday? Of cooooouuurrssssee you do. Although, a Thursday wasn't the big names, it certainly brought some.... interesting designs. I'm just reviewing so called RTW (Ready to Wear). Yeah, this is the stuff that's supposed to be more for me and you ;)

Ooookkkkkaaay. Don't you want this little number from Giles Deacon?

What? You wore this last Halloween? Well crap. Maybe you'll like the next one.

I sooo want that purse. Can't you just see yourself walking around town with a TRICERATOPS? AND shiny pants. I mean, it'd be like it ate Dora, Boots, and Cinderella - b/c that's what I have in my bag. What about you? But wait! Hold the phone -there is ALSO a spidery tshirt and crazy glasses!?! Speaks fashion to me. If my 3 yr old dressed me that day.

This hot little number comes straight from my sister's closet circa 1989. Or NYC RTW fashion week from Elie Saab. Either one.

John Galliano also showed yesterday, as well as Miu Miu, and Hermes. Hermes actually has some fun stuff. However, as a person who recently took up tennis last year, I find it hard to believe.

Ok, I feel bad leaving yet another fashion post in a negative light. I love fashion and just leaving the blog with negative commentary about it? Hmm, didn't seem right. Fashion should be uplifting. So, have you discovered Collette Dinnigan yet? Seriously you should check her out. She's huge in Australia, but not a household name here (she even has her own stamp in AU!)... yet.

How fun is this one?

Don't you think she's some mystical water maid coming to hand you a sword or something? It's so capturing!

And I absolutely adore this one. Reminds me of a modern Hepburn or something.

Mad Fashion

I don't mean mad fashion in a good way.

While I was looking through slideshows of the latest NYC Marc Jacobs (ready to wear) fashion show, Sophie come up behind me, looks over my shoulder, and asks "why are they all mad?"

She's right. All the models look pissed off. Maybe it's because they're stuck in these so called "ready to wear" designs.

Seriously Marc? You let me down. I'd be pissed off too if I was wearing that. In fact, when I had to pick a name to save this picture under in order to post it, I promptly named it "fashion ick." And that's what I think. And 99.9% of other fashionable women do too. Trust me.

Natalie's Sentiments

Have you guys tried out Natalie's blog? I kinda adore it. She's an lds lady in TN and does some great giveaways and whatnot. Right now she's doing a "Yellow and Gray" week, which I love. But more imporantly, she's like my fashion sister, lol.

The long neglected blog...

Man, I just never seem to find the time to post here and not sure if I see the point since you all are my friends in real life and on facebook. However, there are some exciting projects in the work and I soon will be blogging a lot more! One catch. Not on this blog. It'll be on our new party business blog :) Now you know where all of my time has been spent lately. Well, of course that and the kids, the hubby, the dog, the dishes. The never ending dishes. I will let you know when it's all up and running!

Blessings - Day 2

Here's our family's chosen blessings for today:

S: our house
B: mommy
A: playing with S
L: my girls

I love doing daily blessings :)

And I also love that Sophie is really starting to understand some scripture stories. We have a GAK and had been using that for FHE's but now we're using the new Gospel Art Book and either way, it works GREAT! She loves to look through it and learn about the different stories and then later tell me about them. Tonight we talked about the city of Enoch for FHE. Then later when she was flipping through the book, she goes "remember momma, it's the ark!" She does this all the time. She's such a sweet girl. <>

Thank You's

For the month of November, each of us list something that we are thankful for each day. Seeing as how today is Nov 1st, it was our first day of listing it out on our "Give Thanks" list on the fridge. Here are today's....

Barbies (guess whose that was)
Baby laughs (Daddy)
Snuggles (Mommy)
and Sophie decided that Brielle was thankful for all of her toys :)
