A Taste of Fashion Sense

(Pictures 1 & 2: Valentino, 3: Balmain, and 3: Versace)

Neutrals and romantic vintage have clearly been the trend for the year. For Spring-Summer 2010 in Paris fashion week I feel Valentino was the best representation of this trend with the most class and sophistication. Vanlentino's soft reoccurring ruffles in their silk garment really make the garments one unique and well-put-together collection. On the more edgy side, Balmain's collection had a more tough girl confident look. Christophe Decarnin knows how to make the women in the garments feel sumptuous, flattering and desirable. When looking at this collection as a whole the military, gladiator look comes to mind with strong shoulders brought out with fringe appliques. On the more fun side Versace in Milan fashion week went against the grain. Donetella Versace created a lively fun spirited collection full of dress and skirts. On many of the garments geometric patterns make the collection uniform along with the color pallet. These outfits are ideal for the spring-summer season due to their wear ability, trendiness and girlie girl taste. Each piece is unique and inspiring in this collection. Donetella Versace was inspired by Alice in Wonderland in this collection; no wonder why it's so fun. She proved her knowledge again about the ins and outs of making a sleek and sexy gowns. Keeping the trade mark of Versace, the gowns have cuts and geometric lines so automatically one knows what designer made that dress. Ultimately, these three collections is what I will be looking to for inspiration for my upcoming outfits for spring and summer.

My Belief System

I read this list every morning to remind me of what I believe in:

• everyone should have a list like this one:
• follow the flow of life
• see with your heart-listen to your inner self
• be positive
• make decisions for yourself not based on others
• do what makes yourself happy but consider others along the way
• be aware of people pleasing
• don't change fate ride with it
• follow your path not someone else's
• selfishness leads down to a pit of ego
• karma.
• life is choices; one can always change there mind
• believing in something greater than yourself allows one to be outside of themselves instead of trapped in their head
• life is suffering; get used to it
• no one is alone; separation does not exist...when someone believes in separation, they buy into ego which then needs to be maintained leading to fear
• inflecting cruel intentions on others only hurts oneself
• two-facedness... make up your mind on what person you want to be
• omission is lying
• be true to yourself
• "imagination & creativity reign superior to science and reason"
• flow inspirations
