Opulent in Orange

I have to admit that finding orange pieces was pretty difficult. I've actually been putting this post off for a couple of days purely because it was just taking too long to find anything. I'll probably do my purple post tomorrow and then take a quick break to cover holiday gift shopping at different price ranges and then resume the color marathon.

Glorious in Green

Today's color is green. There were less options to pick from, but still a vast array of wonderful items that are gloriously green.

Once again I will begin with the dresses...

And a footnote; My one year blogging anniversary was about a month ago, on November 1st. I have ceased my french challenge, by finally admitting to the fact that it was really not helping me. I intend to instead enroll myself in my local community college's french program next year, which I am very excited about. For those of you who have stuck with me for this whole past year, thank you for your continual support. May this year be even great than the last!

Fall 2011 RTW Continued . . .

J'ai donc décidé que je vais tout simplement commencer par le haut de la liste et me frayer un chemin vers le bas. Pour une semaine ou deux, je serai non-stop annonce sur les collections automne 2011, puis de retour au travail, nous l'espérons avoir assez de temps pour souffler un peu avant de me lancer frappé avec la montre couture. Donc, je vais juste de commencer:

So I've decided that I'm just going to start at the top of the list and work my way down. For a week or two I will be non-stop posting about the Fall 2011 RTW collections and then will hopefully have enough time for a breather before I get hit with the couture shows. So I'm just going to get started:

3.1 Phillip Lim
This line was pretty neutral for me. I didn't love it nor did I hate it.





















A. F. Vandevorst
This line I was not a fan of. I had a hard time finding pieces I liked. It was rather half-hazard and random, proving only to be messy to me.





















Acne
There weren't a lot of pieces in this line but what there was, was nice. I use "nice" because nothing so far has really wowed me but this line was clean and well put together.





















ADAM
This line was really great! I loved the fabrics and the silhouettes and how different each piece was.




A Détacher
I really liked this one. I loved the colors and the structure of the garments, especially.




Akris
This line was simple but had a lot of impact. The fabrics and colors were well chosen and the way the garments were constructed was beautifully done.






























































Alberta Ferretti
I loved this line! There was lace, silk, color, boots! I just really loved this one.
























Albino
This line was fun but a little repetitive. I liked the fur adorned pieces and the bursts of color.



Alexander McQueen
I love how detail oriented and how well structured this line was. While I felt that this line may have paralleled their past collections a little too closely, it is still a remarkable line and wonderfully presented.

























Alexander Wang
This line was well done and very Alexander Wang. I feel that Alexander Wang, McQueen, and Christian Loboutin's products are very identifiable. It's easy to tell when you are in the presence of an Alexander Wang creation, simply by identifying the relaxed elegance that is evident in every one of his pieces.





I have sixteen more people to do before I even get through the A names so those will have to wait until tomorrow. I hope you enjoyed these so far.

My St. Patty's item for today is this adorable little pin that my friend gave me yesterday. I'll definitely be wearing it this Thursday!
