Christopher Kane's Spring 2010 collection


I really like these breezy print dresses. I don't think that I've seen gingham dresses since I was a kid back in the 60s. I'm particularly impressed that the designer, Christopher Kane is only 27 years old. (photos from http://www.style.com)

Nine West has great boots for fall





Nine West has been a favorite of mine for several years because they have styles that are similar to the latest designer styles, but at a reasonable price. Here are some of my favorite boots for fall. To see more, go to their website at http://www.ninewest.com/



Love JCDC


You can't help but love a guy who has muppets and Andy Warhol featured on his clothing. This is JCDC from Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, the autumn/winter 09/10 collection from Paris Fashion Week. The line is described as " a pop-rock, playful, quality and affordable clothing line for a new generation. For more information, check out his web site at www.jc-de-castelbajac.com. Love it!

Rodarte Spring 2010


Rodarte consistently produces the best artsy clothes. This look is "goth" without looking like a Halloween costume. I love their originality.

Tabitha Simmons shoes


I love these shoes from designer Tabitha Simmons. They're little bit rock and roll, a little biker chick, but in a more sophisticasted way. These would like great with most of my fall wardrobe, which consists mostly of black, boot-cut jeans. (Photo from Style.com)

Marc Jacobs Spring 2010


How does Marc Jacobs continue to come up with such great styles season after season? I have been taking belly dance lessons for several months now and I love the costumes. I was interested to see that Marc Jacobs is using belly dance costumes for inspiration.

Here's a style I could try to make

When I was a kid back in the 60s and 70s we embellished our jeans. It would be a fun weekend project to do some embellishments like the ones shown here. Glad to see the look coming back and style. (photo from The Sartorialist)
