first look - pre fall 2011...

I know everyone is dying for the end of winter, but the fashion calendar moves to it's own rhythm!  I was researching what I think is going to be happening this fall for a project and came across Jason Wu's pre-fall collection.  Swoon, to say the least.  I love they way his pieces are so structured, but he never forgets what a woman wants.  His work is refined , but always delivers a sense of whimsy as well.  For spring Marc Jacobs really lit things on fire with a total disco revival.  I love the way Wu plays with a shape from that era, but makes it totally modern with this amazing color (above right).For sure look for red this fall as a key color.  Another key thing I am looking forward to is updated stripes.  Prada started things off this spring, and I think things will continue on into fall.

abc carpet and home - inspiration...

More from ABC carpet and home.  It is six amazing floors, so there is tons to share!  I love how they display their inspiration right out on the walls and in the stairwell.  Fantastico!

nyc odyssey - abc carpet and home...

Happy Monday all!  Back from the trip, dealines a bit more under control (whew) - time to share the pics!  Lets continue with the always inspiring ABC carpet and home.  Enjoy!

Warning!  This is going to be a high drama area today!  I almost DIED five times over in the Madeline Weinrib Atelier.  She has an entire room dedicated to her yummy ikat and graphic goodness.  Rows and rows of absolutely divine rugs and pillows.  The killer moment was when I discovered the clutches.  GASP!  I know you are gasping too, come on! Gorgeous wallpaper!  Structured and refined from afar, loose and organic up close. I just love the freedom in this work.TREND ALERT!  Watch for graphic, seductive silhouettes and shadows for fall 2011.
