Bottega Veneta, you’ll never know quite how much I love you. The head-to-toe color, the ridiculously feminine and chic silhouettes - and did you look at the lady gloves! I even love the messy up-dos. *sigh* it’s pure poetry really…
Now that the shows are finally finished, I’ve selected 15 of my favorite looks from the spring 2009 runways.
Just a brief note: I love LOVE Giambattista Valli’s Spring ‘09 Collection so much, but I want to live in Jil Sander every moment of every single day. Marni’s show was amazing… so much fashion, so little time. Upcoming Spring Trends? Sheer layers, fringe detailing, asymmetrical lines and hems, one-strap tops, mid-drift baring silhouettes, and so much more…
Lanvin | That color combination! The volume!
Narciso Rodriguez | Black and white and perfect
Balmain | Ridiculously cool, love this look
Stella McCartney | A little sparkle, a lot of sex appeal
Donna Karan | Sexy, strong, and slinky
Bottega Veneta | Smooth as butter
Calvin Klein | Sculptural, metallic, and stunning
Jil Sander | Fringe benefits aplenty
Giambattista Valli | Big skirts, perfect pleats, little waists - oh my!
Peter Som | Gorgeous color. love love LOVE
Miu Miu | Sharp dressed and stunning
Marni | So cute. I die! I DIE.
Alexander McQueen | Somewhere over the rainbow
John Galliano | Show-stopping drama
Oscar de le Renta | Pure elegance

YSL’s black lips certainly made a statement on the fall runways… and although I’m not sure it is a statement that should ever be made in real life, the people at Lancôme don’t feel the same that I do.
Introducing the Color Fever Gloss in Piha Black. It looks great in the bottle, but on actual lips in the subway, out on the streets, in bars or bakeries?

Running, smudged mascara seems to be the biggest thing right now.
So who’s responsible for this?
1. Lauren Conrad. MTV has been playing specials on The Hills all weekend and I’ve been forced to watched poor LC crying her eyes out while talking to Audrina over and over again. I knew Lauren wore a lot of eye makeup, but wow. Good thing she’s now the spokesperson for mark. (new cosmetics line by Avon)
2. Duffy. I love LOVE her video for Warwick Avenue because it it reminds me of Radiohead’s No Surprises and because the girl just looks so beautiful when she cries and mascara is smudged below those pretty eyes.
3. Sad, pretty girls in general. They’re simply irresistible.
So my last bag purchase was from the GAP and I sort of love it - although I didn’t at first. The thing is, I’ve always hated plain black bags and yet they’re just something every girl needs.
Anyway, I found this leather satchel at the GAP and bought it simply because I needed a black bag (although I definitely liked the lighter gray one better), it was only $150, its not too big, not too small, and has just the right amount of pockets inside. I’ve also gotten a bunch of compliments on it, which I would have never expect. It actually has a slightly understated rocker vibe…
Just saying that the next time you walk by the GAP, stop in. You never know. Shop all GAP bags here.
