So Close You can Taste It

Pre-Fall clothes are arriving! I don't know about you, but I'm pretty excited seeing how between-seasons clothing (pre-fall and resort) are supposed to be way more wearable than Spring and Fall. Don't ask me why designer clothes coming out excites me, considering I'll never own any of them...but seeing the collections translate from the runway or showroom is always a treat. And there is always a possibility of trying them on with no intention of buying anything, of course. These are the collections that I am most excited for: (please don't mind my terrible photoshop skills! I did end up realizing that I was doing something wrong, and I can upload pics from photoshop now!)

For the love of Lanvin!

It's about time my personal favorite got some recognition! Lately Alber Elbaz's delicious designs have been everywhere, and not just on Natalie Portman, even if she does win the title of most Lanvin in one week. From the runway to the celebs, Lanvin has this quality to it that makes it looks like it melts into your skin. It just looks so luxurious. Alber knows how to dress a woman so well! Also, if you look on the Lanvin site, you can see these pictures of the store windows in Paris which are positively the most stunning window displays possible.

And of course, Mr. Elbaz himself...isn't he adorable?
