Pretty in Pink

Donc, il ya eu beaucoup de choses qui se passent dans ma vie personnelle ces derniers temps, et aujourd'hui, j'ai décidé d'enfin s'asseoir et revenir à bloguer. J'ai pris des vacances prolongées, plutôt à partir de blogs (2 mois en temps réel = 3 ans de blogging), et j'ai réalisé que ça a été fait de deux choses; j'ai été occupé comme les affaires pas de corps, et j'ai été vraiment peu inspiré par ce que j'ai vu des lignes de printemps 2012 RTW jusqu'ici. Les choses semblent très insuffisantes et répétitif, mais je n'ai pas encore pu voir certains de mes designers favoris donc il ya encore de l'espoir.

So, there's been a lot of stuff going on in my personal life lately, and today, I decided to finally sit down and get back to blogging. I've taken a rather prolonged vacation from blogging (2 month in real time = 3 years in blogging), and I've realized that it's been because of two things; I've been busy like no body's business, and I've been really uninspired by what I've viewed from the Spring 2012 RTW lines thus far. Things just seem very lacking and repetitive, but I haven't yet been able to view some of my favorite designers so there is still hope.

Today I'm publishing a post devoted to pink. With Breast Cancer month officially at an end (I know it's been a whole month) I wanted to commemorate that with a showcase of some of the best perfectly pink items out there. For the next week or so, I will continue this theme, doing all the colors under the rainbow and then it will hopefully be about time to start posting for Christmas.  I apologize for the horrendous formatting, which I have tinkered and messed with for hours already, to no avail. Please, try to enjoy the pictures and don't think too much about the layout.

I'll begin with some of my favorite pink dresses...

Spring 2012 RTW

Voici une poursuite de la montre de printemps RTW 2012. Style.com ajoute continuellement de concepteurs donc il n'y aura plus de mises à jour à venir!

Here is a continuation of the Spring 2012 RTW shows. Style.com is continually adding designers so there will be more updates coming!

Zac Posen

This line was absolutely stunning. The silhouettes reminded me a lot of Elie Saab's past two lines without the type of flowy fabrics he favored.

Tribune Standard

This line was understated and simple, belying a sense of manicured chic.

Tracy Reese

This line had easy beauty, filled with the kind of clothes you'd where while on a luxury vacation in a foreign place. 

Wes Gordon

I was surprised I liked this line, since it was so simple, but the wearability of the pieces was extremely appealing.

More will be coming soon!

French word of the day: Liant which is the French word for binder. Exciting, I know.

"While clothes may not make the woman, they certainly have a strong effect on her self-confidence - which, I believe, does make the woman." - Mary-Kate -Olsen.

Back to School . . .

Pourtant, un autre été est terminé, avec un début nouvelle année. Le seul point positif que je peux tirer de cela est que je vais enfin être un junior et que beaucoup plus proche de leur diplôme. Espérons que cette année passe vite.

Yet another summer has ended, with a new year beginning. The only positive I can draw from this is that I will at last be a junior and that much closer to graduating. Hopefully this year goes by fast.

Below are just some brief summaries about the spring 2012 RTW shows. I know I'm behind but I'll try to get caught up this week. I may or may not be posting all the designers, depending on how my schedule works out this week. Also I'm working on compiling a bag/purse post that should be posted in about a week. ALSO I will sometime soon be actually doing that video of a recipe that you guys voted on. The consensus was the sliced potato one so I'll get that to you guys as soon as possible.

Here are my favorites from the spring 2012 RTW shows. Enjoy!

Duro Olowu

This floor length dress to the right is stunning beyond belief. I love those moments when you're perusing the shows and a piece comes up that is just perfect. 

Erin Fetherston

This line was compiled of easy, breezy, cocktail dresses that were each beautifully made from flouncing, flowy, fabrics. I love how wearable they all look!

Lela Rose

I really loved the shapes of the dresses; the drawn in waists and the floaty skirts. And I really adored all the polka-dots!

Libertine

The majority of this line I did not really enjoy but this one piece struck me as really beautiful and I decided to include it.

I'll be finishing my favorites soon!

French word of the day: Présentation which is the French word for presentation. For those of you who don't know the accent above the e in the word presentation is called the accent aigu and turns the e into an a (as in bay) sound.

I'm Back Part 2!

Ok, donc j'ai dit, je serais affichage sur Disney dès que j'avais le temps, et maintenant je fais! Disney, même si un flou complet, a été fantastique! Mes parents et ma soeur ne pense pas qu'elle était aussi grande que Disney Land, mais, puisque je n'ai que bouffées de vague de longues après-midi consacré à Disney Land, il ne m'a pas affecté autant. Pour commencer l'endroit est absolument énorme! C'est comme être dans une ville. Il a tout ce qu'il a autoroutes propres, c'est feux de signalisation propre, et l'on a appelé plus grand que la taille de Manhattan! Epcot est absolument magnifique. C'était amusant de faire l'expérience tant de différentes «cultures» en une seule journée. Dans chaque «monde» qu'ils avaient des personnes qui ont été réellement de ce pays qui y travaillent, qui fait tout plus authentique. J'ai été un peu déçu dans le pavillon français, qui ne compte que des magasins de parfum et une boulangerie unique. J'espérais quelque chose de façon plus liée au lieu de trois magasins consacrés au parfum. Même si je reconnais pleinement le fait que le parfum est une composante forte de la France, je pensais que l'une des capitales mondiales de la mode pourrait abriter un magasin de mode ou deux, dans son imitation de Disney. En France, j'ai acheté une écharpe en soie carrée, en Angleterre une imitation de bague de fiançailles de la Princesse Diana, et en Italie, j'ai acheté un masque complexe décoratif. Une fois que j'ai le temps, je posterai des photos. Je pense que ma partie préférée, cependant, commençait à avoir tous mes repas avec toute ma famille. Il nous a donné l'illusion du luxe complet, le genre que les riches sont en mesure d'apprécier sur une base régulière. Je m'ennuie de cet aspect des choses. La capacité de manger dehors sans retenue avec ma famille et de s'asseoir et de profiter d'une soirée sans la crainte d'y mettre fin.

Ok, so I said, I'd be posting about Disney as soon as I had time, and now I do! Disney, although a complete blur, was fantastic! My parents and my sister don't think it was as great as Disney Land but, since I only have vague flashes of long afternoons spent in Disney Land, it didn't affect me as much. For starters the place is absolutely huge! It's like being in a city. It's got it's own highways, it's own stoplights, and has been termed bigger than the size of Manhattan! Epcot was absolutely beautiful. It was fun to get to experience so many different "cultures" in one day. In each "world" they had people that were actually from that country working there which made everything more authentic. I was a little disappointed in the French pavilion which only consisted of perfume stores and a single bakery. I was hoping for something more fashion related instead of three stores devoted to perfume. While I fully recognize the fact that perfume is a strong component of  France, I had assumed that one of the fashion capitals of the world could house a fashion store or two, in it's Disney imitation. In France I bought a square silk scarf, in England an imitation of Princess Diana's engagement ring, and in Italy I purchased an elaborate decorative mask. Once I have time, I'll post pictures. I think my favorite part, though, was getting to have all my meals with my entire family. It gave us the illusion of complete luxury. I miss that aspect of it. The ability to eat out without restraint with my family and sit and enjoy an evening without the fear of it ending.

Epcot Ceneter

It was amazing to feel like a kid again and to be surrounded by people that were basically dedicated to creating general human happiness. I miss it but it is so nice to be home.

So, I've been reading like psycho today because I have like twenty issues of Vogue that are all half-read, and like fifteen books to read before the school year starts and I have no time to do anything, so I'm gonna get going and tomorrow I should have time to post on the recent RTW shows.
