Spring 2013 Couture

Alexis Mabille, with all the ruffles and pastels and bows, reminded me of old Hollywood glam meets the court of the Sun King. I hope some of these dresses make the leap to the red carpet. He's not the best know designer even though he's stinkin' awesome.*

Still not a fan of Raf Simons' cuts, but I love the floral details he did for Dior.

Valentino reminded me of old wrought iron gates and priests robes, and it was one of their best couture shows in years. Is the house finding their footing since their namesake's retirement?

Atelier Versace looked cheap in the way that only people with lots of money and no taste look. Total stripper shoes complete.



Jean Paul Gaultier envisioned rich gypsy hippies. This could have been much better.

Want more? We have more shows, detail shots, as well as Pre-Fall coverage on our Facebook page. It's a party over there.

*Sorry to whip out the fancy French phrases there. I'm precocious.

Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.

However, this shop has a lot more to offer than cats of all sizes. These laser cut wooden earrings range from fun swirling designs to intricate peacocks. Best of all, the earrings I've featured here today all cost only $12.95. (Although the shop sells some other higher priced goods).
