listen bitches

I'm not going to SUPER-POWER-BLOG about Fashion Week because that is too time consuming and I just started FASHIN SKEWEL today so WOW brain overload. I will however share with you one of my favourite collections thus far:

Catherine Holstein

just KILLIN it.

I'll be the first to admit that her collection isn't fashion forward but it's rare to find a collection from which I would wear every piece exactly how they're styled.
Plus, give me a turban-like hat/headwrap ANYDAY and I'm yours forever I promise!

question

Who is this dapper young fellow and what does he do?

How blindingly fabulous is Claudia in these guess ads circa 1989-1991? I miss the Supers so much.

Speaking of Resort 2009 (see: a few posts below) MY FAVOURITE COLLECTION HAS BEEN THAKOON. Sorry for the caps but it had to be stressed (and I love to format).


LOOK. LOOK AT THAT. Look at the weird petal-y metallic skirt with the peach floaty top and look at that strange floral print skirt and look at that great mesh-y black sweatshirt. And, ok, most of all, look at the sheer nylon knee-highs. This must be said: I covet this look.

So last week, on a day off, I ventured to The Bay (lovely Canadian department store) and picked some up. They aren't quite as sheer but they do the trick. See:

just fyi: I'm REEEELY tall (5'10 like Cindy Crawford. Actually, 5'9.) so it's hard to get my whole self in a shot. See how I have to slouch? I bet you're sad you're missing the bow atop my ponytail. I am. Also, sorry for the sick outfit.

Also acquired on my shopping trip: white stockings. EVER since Betsey Johnson Fall 2007 RTW (ie: since Spring 2007) I have been DYING to rock white tights with white shoes and finally FOUND some opaque-ish white tights by Calvin Klein. Next purchase: white Keds.

How amazing is that last look amirite or amirite?
