Spring Fashion 2012 - Part 2

Since this is part 2 of my Spring 2012 Fashion series I will be sharing the designers that I only ended up really loving two outfits from their latest collections.

Starting with Alexander McQueen. He was a genius and can never be replaced. Sarah Burton doesn't impress me, and I know loads of people like her work... I liked these two pieces:




Next up Calvin Klein, simple elegance: 



Carven:

Cynthia Rowley:


Diesel Black Gold


Love those green pants!!!
Jil Sander, both pieces are just genius! What could be better than that green dress as well as that art piece of sweater paired with such a yummy full midi skirt!:



Marchesa:
I think strapless is overdone, but I would love to sparkle in this!


Tory Burch, I was surprised I didn't like more of what she put out:



Sigh, I'm super tired, but more tomorrow.  Hope everybody enjoys looking at the clothes!


Spring Fashion 2012 - Part 1

So I spent a portion of today on Style.com looking through the RTW shows from the recent fashion weeks. I went a little crazy and ended up with almost 200 looks that I like. So, I'm thinking I need to split them up into separate blog entries. I probably won't theme them or anything, I will just go with what I like. To start off I really wanted to show the Temperley London pieces that I liked.  They have serious sophistication coupled with great youth. The colors are different and still very Spring Summer.  I picked 7 total from the show. 







LOVE!

I was surprised by the simplicity involved in Christian Siriano's Spring 2012 collection and I really like the following 3 looks from the show. Two are admittedly very similar, but I just couldn't choose:

Don't you just love the stripes on the top of this?? So chic.

Jean-Paul Gaultier was a bit more wild than what is featured above.  There is a definite 50s vibe to the collection, but I immediately saw PIRATES, the best dressed female pirates EVER. Get these clothes in my closet now!

AH-MAZING! So sexy!


Double Fabulous and I want to wear it every day!


I think for now, being 4 AM here in Bend, Oregon, that I will take a break from the fashion world and dream of trying to find amazing affordable versions of these clothes for the upcoming spring and summer. 40 more shows to go...

I Love You, but...

I'm done. I will no longer be your second fiddle. You don't see what is right in front of you, that I would love and do for you forever. Even if we're not right for one another, which is the truth you still don't treat me right as a person, as a friend. It hurts me so much to be put by the wayside when you think you've found someone better. Why would I treat myself that way? I am a sweet, loving, kind, generous and honest woman. I deserve better.

You are not that man. You enter relationships with hope and then push and push and push until you push your love interest away and then you end up in tears on the phone with me trying to understand why the latest lady didn't stick with you. I have been putting up with it for 9 years.

When we met you were sweet and kind and I thought, "Wow! I have found such a wonderful, adventurous, kind and smart man!" Then one night you're screaming in my face that I don't really want to know you, to understand your life and what you've been through. I should have run far, far away, never talked to you again. That isn't me though. Now I know you, what you've been through. The trials that you have endured are many, and yet you live life and lately have seemed to come out of a lot of it, but you still don't see me standing by you, supporting you. I can't be invisible anymore.

I finally have my life figured out. I'm in school again, doing better than I ever have before. I know what I want and I am out to get it. Through these actions I am bettering myself and learning to love yourself is what makes others love you. So I am asking the universe to help my match find me and to help me find him, a man where I am his match and he is mine. A man who will love me, be kind to me, support me and want to live this blessing that is life with me, full of adventure, hope and endless possibilities made more fathomable by our love. I hope that your latest relationship is what works for you, and you end up in love forever, because I want for you to be happy. For me though, Josh, I am done, finished and moving on.
