textual appeal
some beautiful furry shag sweaters appeared on the runway. they were so textured. i cannot wait to find one of these to wear for fall. they all appeared in gorgeous neutral colors, but if they are paired with bright accents (like belts and necklaces) like at Oscar de La Renta, it can really be a beautiful outfit.

never run in the rain with you're socks on.

Slip on the bright colored ones for school under that...
say goodbye to the pink sheep of the family.

these are a few of my favorite things
So usually the couture collections are my favorite. But this time around, I was quite disappointed. The most memorable thing for me, was the hair at Chanel, and that says a lot. Usually I fall in love with anything made by Karl Lagerfeld. But I just wasn’t feeling anything special this time.
1. No words can describe it. (Chanel)
2. Not a big fan of most of the actual clothing, but I loved the...
