Alex Wang: Resort 2010

As many of you might know designers have started diffusing their lines thus more and more labels are doing pre-fall, resort, and cruise lines. I personally think resort and cruise is a waste of time do to the fact that who in this day and age has the money to cruise and resort. Seeing as I have no choice but to resort to these collections until spring debuts at Bryant Park this fall it will have to suffice. Above is some of my favorite looks from this Resort Collection, I really adore was Alex is doing with knits F/W 08 was a play on hobo-chic, Pre-Fall 09 is a play on chainmail, and now Resort 10 reminds me of lattice fencing. Even if I do buy some of these pieces I dont know what resort I will wear them to. I guess I will just have to resort to debuting them around Manhattan if I ever managed to get up before 7 pm.

CFDA Awards 2009: Who's Hot and Who is definitely not.

Definitely Not.

(As much as I am a fan of both these fine ladies, their ensembles were completely ruined by their shoes.)

Hot.

No further explanation is needed thus concluding this entry.

It's on with Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung is by far one of my favorite style icons of today frequently written up on best-dressed lists for her quirky-boyish-messy style. Although deemed an 'It' Girl she has been quoted saying “there’s not much to being an It girl. It’s really quite a depressing title to hold”. If you are still unaware of who she is well you're about to find out because she is about to blow up with her new show 'It's on with Alexa Chung' on MTV. It's the best thing to happen to MTV since well forever. Although Alexa has been on the small screen for quite sometime across the pond this is her first appearance on the small screen in the US. Her show is a mix of live-music, guest hosts, and a variety of different segments. You should definitely check out her daytime show by checking your local listings for show times. Until then you should look for some inspiration from her.

Avenue on 10th Avenue: Beatrice Edtion

So last night like all my nights began after midnight. New York City has been quite a lonely place ever since The Beatrice Inn was shuttered by the police, I literally feel at times I am wandering the streets with no place to go. Although they have found substitute venues to house the inhabitants of the Beatrice but unfortunately I have been out of town when these gatherings happened. Luckily, though last night they had a party and recently opened club Avenue although an unlikely space because its nothing like Beatrice it sufficed. Everyone was there, the usual crowd it was like Beatrice was back. But it still wasnt the same the space is too big regardless I had a nice time seeing those faces I enjoy seeing so until the original West 12th and West 4th address reopens it will have to do.

Balenciaga wishes and Rick Owens dreams.

Perfection.

Say Hello to my newest obsession

I have been quite aware of who the Traina's are for sometime now mainly as being the daughters of Danielle Steel. Although it was not until recently that I discovered a thread about them on the Fashion Spot. I clearly favor Vanessa's personal style over Victoria's not to state the obvious but because its similar to my tastes meaning lots of black. I also adore how she has a very French quality to her referring to the fact that she keeps the focus on the clothes and not looking overly-groomed or polished. She always looks stunning without trying to hard, which is something in American society that is hard to find because a lot of personalities that are in the the limelight are over the top and strive to be perfect.

Model of the Day: Erin Wasson

I think most of the population is model obsessed especially when they're off the runway. Mainly because its like seeing a wild animal outside of its natural habitat. Erin Wasson prime example I have never been so enthralled by a model's personal style than that of Erin's effortless biker-rough-messy chic because no matter how messy her hair is and how throw together everything looks she always looks impeccable. I raise my glass and my cigarette to you Erin Wasson.
