Salut mes amies!

FASHION WEEK!!!

Ok, so maybe some of the fall 09 collections were not so exciting, and rather disappointing, but there were some that were absolutely fabulous!

What I liked about this fashion week: I loved how some of my favorite designers--Erin Fetherston, Marchesa...etc--didn't disappoint me at all. They just sort of improved on their past collections. Here are a few collections I actually did like.

Erin Fetherston was just as I expected, but better. Her fairy princess signature style was there, but with a darker twist to it. I loved it. Only thing that bothered me was that a few of the looks reminded me of the Miu Miu spring 2008 collection and the Luella fall 2008 collection. But since I love both of those collections and designers, I loved Erin Fetherston's fall 2009.

Marchesa was just pure elegance...as usual. :)

I loved the mixing of colors and patterns at Peter Som. And those neck-warmer furry things are just so cute!!! I would sooooo totally get them (if they were faux fur of course). What I loved the most was the bright, cheery mood of the collection.

Ok, who didn't like Marc Jacobs' collection? I am in love with that electric lemon velvet dress! And that zipper skirt...drooooooool, and that red top is driving me crazy, and those tights are making my knees go weak, and I love Lara Stone :)

What I didn't like: the overall somber, dull, depressing tones that were used. Why? Just because they are fall collections, doesn't mean they can't be fun and colorful...jeez. Oh, and some collections were just so boring. Nothing new. Same black blazers, defined shoulders, deep v-necks, slitted tees, rips, shreds, studs, etc.

What I was iffy-iffy about: Alexander Wang. I was disappointed with half of it, and liked the other half. But then again, that other half is similar to something Topshop came out with...apparently. So did he copy? And that same other half also had stuff I saw before...slitted leggings, tees...but I like them... And the asymmetrical dresses...drool. *Sigh* I don't know whether to like it or not.


Oh, and on Tuesday, my brother and I went outside to do a "photo shoot."

Oh my, I shall post a pic as soon as it comes up on the internet.

Oh, and when the Slumdog Millionaire cast was getting interviewed on the red carpet, I was sooooo happy, and died when I saw Dev Patel (and heard his Brit accent...).... *swoooooooon*

The children were sooooo adorable. I wanted to just fly to the oscars (in my PJs) and give them all a hug... (even Dev Patel :P)
