Red Dress I

Yes….I’m still obsessed with red.

Black Dress X

This is one of my favorites from fashion week, designed by Victoria Beckham.  See more great dress pics at Hopscotch&Grace.

White Dress II

Like the dress, but will this girl ever look good on a red carpet??  I mean seriously, I have my doubts.  At least Kristen Stewart didn’t wear some old pair of Chuck Taylor’s with it this pretty dress, which unfortunatly would have been smashing if Miss Stewart didn’t look like she’d just awakened from a hangover.  She always seems to look this way to me.   

However, we have some redemption here in this James White photoshoot from 2008.

Black Dress IX

Kate Moss - Black Dress IX

Black Dress VII and VIII

Found this when reading of Fashionista on-line:  “Kate Moss’s black long-sleeved dress for Topshop was named Dress of the Year by the Bath Fashion Museum.”  

This UK museum has the world’s largest collection of historical fashion.  We are left wondering who does the Dress of the Year judging. 

This dress, designed by Kate herself, outdid top designers such as Calvin Klein, Versace, and Alexander McQueen.  All from the model who stated that she is “not a proper designer.”  If this is an example of un-proper design, we see why.

Though we usually love “all things Kate,”  this dress is far from the fashion “WOW” factor.  I think I threw out a dress like this in 1986.  It may have been purple. 

We just cannot see the big “win” here.  Not when we found this Nina Ricci black runway dress for Fall 2009. Ready-to-Wear on Uliana Tikhova.       WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

White Dress I

With Spring officially sprung, believe it or not it is one-third of the way through already, I’ve decided to glance into the summer and start a white dress series (not that we’ve given up on the black dresses!).  Love this bohemian summer look.

Black Dress VI

Guerlain perfume: La Petite Robe Noire.  At $150 for 1.7 oz.

Couldn’t resist this little black dress find,  in Teen Vogue, as left on my desk by

a certain teen Continuum member….

What is it With Women and Their Shoes?

“What is it with women and their shoes?”  We’ve heard many of the male of the species utter these words at times.  My answer to this question is:  “Its nothing.  Its perfectly normal.”  And to prove my point I’ve found the coolest shoe site called A Woman And Her Shoes ; but be warned you could get lost for a long time in shoe heaven. 

Found these incredible sandals by new fashion designer Atalanta Weller.  (just love her name–was actually researching the Amazonian Huntress Atalanta when I found these zippy heels!).

“Weller is a graduate of Cordwainers college in London and is the designer behind Henry Holland (House of Holland) Shoe Collection, which has yeilded this sporty slip back with a sci-fi feel.”

Beam me up, Scotty!
