extraordinary.

it may be cliche of me to begin my reviews with a few of my favorite pieces from the extraordinary Alexander McQueen collection by Sarah Burton, but it was one of the most inspiring, intricate, and just all around powerful collections for me.

so let's begin.

kick'em.

dreams don't come true. dreams are not reality. its pointless.

this is how you respond:

ahem...dreaming is my reality. 

and in my reality, reality is the dream. 

impossible doesn't exist when it comes to matters of the heart, the soul. 

dreaming is the only way of living.

and then tell them your amazing dreams.

then kick'em.

what are your dreams? let's dream together.

charlie, what are you wearing?!

now, i didn't actually wear this funtastic outfit today, but what's not to love about jewel tones, black faux fur striped separates and infamous baby blue eye shadow?

what fashion no-no's or uh-oh's do you feel like breaking today?

clown couture? sure.

haha! clown couture you ask? why not!

how did this lovely ensemble come to be well, it's simple really.

the first challenge of this season's Project Runway was to make an outfit out of the clothes on your back (their pajamas) and one bed sheet. 

i sleep in men's boxers (more on this later). and that night i was wearing blue cotton boxers with orange polka dots. so i thought what would you do charlie?

initially, with my background in textiles and the "in" factor of polka dots right now, i thought...DYE it!

but that would be so expected and not fun!

so why not take crazy boxers and crisp white bed sheet and make the most basic, simple silhouettes? 

a princess cut bodice and wide leg pants. 

crazy. yes.

unexpected. yes.

fun. yes.

wearable. maybe.

what would you guys do? what do you sleep in?

the greatly anticipated.

so like everyone else, i've been greatly anticipating Dw, the Kanye West women's collection that debuted at Paris Fashion Week. i scoured the internet for some pictures and i have to say that iam not too certain about how i feel about this collection. there were some pieces that are just beautiful and in my eyes quite tasteful. here the looks i would wear in a heartbeat: 

 the leather, the fur, the slit in the shorts. love.

this one with pants. iam a lady. tehe.

but i do love the beading detail and the silhouette of the top

i can't say i would be able to pull this off but i do love it. i would probably wear the two separately.

and i think this look will end up being pretty popular amongst the masses:

it has the Herve Leger bandage details, the length it just so appropriate and sexy, i personally love the long sleeves and the higher neckline, and while i could never expose my body this way, there is a certain appeal to the cutouts. it's a very whimsical dress. there are contrasting feelings, a tension between the beautiful and the haunting. and don't get me started on the color. (LOVE!)

but there were pieces in the collection that made the entire collection confusing. mainly, the elements. there were so many. and you could definitely identify and attribute them to other big names.

also, i personally wasn't comfortable with a lot of the cutout pieces. they brought taste level into question.

still Mr. West had something there. (perhaps something there for everyone?)

and iam curious to see what he produces next.

what were your thoughts?
