Now if it were up to me all the blogger girls would be getting a piece of the fabulous Missoni Pre Fall collection...it was definitely my favorite(Zac Posen came in at 2nd)....but unfortunately that's not so but i'll leave you with the pictures of a scrumptious collection...Merry Christmas! and Happy New Year until January 2008!(Couture collection is up in January as a late Christmas gift from the fashion world)

So today is juts a random inspirational post...i'll be doing these until january 8th of 2008 since the holidays have snuck up on me...these are just random fashion photos i've found on the internet(mostly at foto decadent and haute photography)and also the last photo is of the london underground signs because i'm going to go to london for four weeks in the summer to study and i'm jumping for joy about it...until next time

So the pre-fall shows have begun...it seems as if the fashion calendar seems to be getting fuller and fuller since now so many designers have done resort and now pre-fall? Instead of the usual 2 seasons its really four...how crazy. Here are some of my favorite looks from the Pre-Fall Collections
This gorgeous blue and green blouse with the black skirt and purple heels from Zac Posen is gorgeous looks perfect for that transition between fall and winter were its not to cold but not too hot
Another look from Zac Posen, now i believe this is a blouse and skirt and it is gorgeous the colors are perfect for pre-fall and it has such great detail on the skirt
This black dress also from Zac Posen is gorgeous for cocktail parties and isn't your typical black dress because of the amazing neckline.
Bravo Lagerfeld! You've made up for your disastrous spring/summer collection..this pre fall collection is very modern Coco Chanel and how amazing is it to have Irina and Sean play at your show...only Karl
Which reminds me I finally bought my first Nylon magazine with MK on the cover...I almost died when i saw it on the HEB Plus shelves this morning...I live on the border to Mexico in a small city were we only get Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, Elle and Vogue and occasionally we are gifted with Spanish Vogue but never have I seen Nylon in our city and today that i found it i quickly snatched it up and loved it! I've seen so many spreads online but have never had a real Nylon in my hand...now i'm going to subscribe
Back to Pre-Fall, Oscar de La Renta was his classic flowery usual self but it was wonderful especially this dress which i loved more than all the others...it's such a classic shape with a twist
Carolina Herrera's collection wasn't very great but i loved this dress because its so classic and simple and if you pair it with gorgeous Lanvin pumps and great accessories its a great look
Finally this great coat from Zac Posen(i think he was my favorite pre-fall show) which reminds me of military chic but in a completely new way...its a wonderful coat to play up any outfit
Sorry for the rather short post but mid terms are coming up and i must study for a while

What i really want for Christmas is the new Vogue Paris with Charlotte Gainsbourg as guest editor. Unfortunately the steep pricing in the states for this magazine has made my mom say that it's ridiculous to pay that kind of money for a magazine. No mother not for Charlotte Gainsbourg.

It's December! The holiday season has officially begun and i'm squirming in my Rudolph slippers. I'm back from our Thanksgiving visit to Houston and have begun practicing for our annual dance recital in February....waltz, tango, flamenco, ballet...and i'm also practicing to sing a duo with a friend of mine for a recital. So I'll be a pretty busy girl this month and also I'm studying for SAT's and designing costumes for Phantom of the Opera...i draw the sketches then they're made into real life by seamstresses...i can't wait to start making the dress for the masquerade. So I went to shopbop the other day and oh my i saw these gorgeous shoes. These black pumps by Alessandro Dell' Acqua followed by gorgeous ankle boot looking pumps by Banfi Zambrelli and finally my favorite pair the black, beige and grey pumps also from Alessandro Dell'Acqua. I know this is a rather short post but practice starts in a few minutes and i will be late if i don't get going.....p.s. I noticed i hadn't edited my profile and now i've added my email if anyone needs to get a hold of me

My favorite time of the year! has arrived along with the ever lingering smell of cinnamon and hot chocolate at my house and running around in Chrismas jammies...mine are red fleece pants and top full of teddy bears, hot chocolate mugs, and christmas trees... so enough about my jammies but on to my wishlist its ridiculously long and expensive so...but its christmas and maybe Jiminy Cricket will put in a good word for me with Santa

Prismacolor 112 Premier Colored Pencils....Pencil colors in every shade imaginable is my dream come true...perfect for my sketches(not that they're that good)

A polaroid camera..my parents own a digital camera which i'll use once in a while but i really want a polaroid camera there so old school and how fun would it be to just fool with your friends and take polaroid pictures...so artys, non?
Books! I'm a book kind of girl, i read classics, teeny boppers(you know Gossip Girl) traveling guides, photo books, history books but i've yet to delve into the world of fashion books.The Golden Age of Couture which is a book of Couture pieces....i totally want it come on couture is heaven and th closest i'll get to it for now are photos in a book
Balenciaga Paris...Balenciaga is the number one designer ever so a book i'll read over and over again
Dior is turning 60 if i'm correct this year and its such a legendary house that this book must be really great

This lambie gift set from Bath and Body works...because everyone needs they're little beauty oasis and who doesn't want lamb slippers and a cute eye mask
Lanvin...looks like an excellent book i love cute chubby teddy bear like Alber Elbaz and his gorgeous designs that are changing the house of Lanvin so a book about him and the house is perfect
These cute vintage Moschino gloves from ebay because gloves are so hot this season and they're so sophisticated, chic and cute
Jewelry!
These Citrine by Stone set of three bangles...im not much of a jewelry girl but i love these basic bangles in eye popping colors


Daybirgeretmikkelsen necklace...it's a bit overwhelming especially in black but yet its so beautiful it would spice up any outfit from a v neck white shirt with jeans to a jewel colored minidress
This white Kenneth Jay Lane bangle is so simple but its also really cool and adds spice to any outfit
This very cute bracelet by Mawi...it's very wintery with the purple, black and silver with gold...its very pretty and perfect for every occasion

Bags!

Lacoste Retro tennis bag...i love tennis and i need a new bag for tournaments and games(and i probably might get this one)but i want it in red

I think this is the classic Miu Miu bag and i love it especially in this color so if this would be under the tree i would cry...maybe...probably
This Burberry Prosrum studded bag is so different and i love it it looks big enough to take as a carryon bag for traveling...who cares if its not big enough but its gorgeous and so different
The classic Chanel 2.55 in classic black of course because its a classic!!! Which means you will own this baby for the rest of your life and can use it for the rest of your life

This very cute Derek Lam clutch in a metallic clutch and with ram head detail...clutches are huge this season and i love this one
This Hermes shopper...its a gorgeous print and buying this shopper will help the environment so you won't use plastic bags when you go shopping...i would love this print in a scarf too

Marni bag with stone detail is also a very different looking handbag in a sea of It bags this one sets its mark and its very art deco i think
Shoes!
These Stella McCartney Fuschia pumps they are every girls dream come true...i always wanted what I call Barbie pumps which are beautfiul pink pumps...and Stella McCartney got it right on par

These Louboutin sort of ruched booties...they're not the typicals smooth patent booties they are gorgeous leather sort of bad girl booties
Marni colorblocked wedges...i know colorblocked wedges seem weird but even a girl used to living in heels sometimes needs to rest and wedges work well

These Miu Miu pumps in black and grey...i later saw them in nude satin and they are much cuter but i'll add that later...which are perfect for everything, dresses, skirts, pants

These cute Pedro Garcia flats...even though i love heels i knew i at least have to have some cute flats and these flats are gorgeous color and look exquisite
Sergio Rossi metallic pumps with black detailing now if you go with your usual lbd for holiday parties these puppies will make your outfit pop
Alexander McQueen pumps....Dorothy would be proud and i certainly am i love these and they're santa's favorite color
McQueen zipper detail flats for all the biker chicks in us but don't go overboard with it and wear a biker jacket and stud belt with these one at a time everyone
These Chloe flat boots which are also biker chic and would give a funky edge to minidresses and skirts
These wood looking Fendi platforms because brown platforms are my absolute favorite so these will be a wonderful addition to my wall of brown platforms
Last but certainly not least is black patent flat boots i want a pair so badly these are Jimmy Choos so they're worth a small fortune but it would be a dream to find black patent flat boots for like a fraction of the price
Now on to the clothes.....
The lanvin top that chloe is working in the above picture..i fell in love with it but i've never found it online so i haven't had a chance to buy it

This Kate Moss for Topshop beaded dress...if you don't already know i'm in love with the 20's...feathers,sequins, and bobs...and this is just an amazing dress
This colorblocked Pucci dress...i love the blue bow detail and its perfect for that difficult transition from fall to winter

This feathered Marchesa dress because its gorgeous and i think every girl should own one Marchesa dress to make her feel fabulous no matter what
This Proenza Schouler dress...now it looks like its probably hard to carry off in real life but confidence is everthing and i absoultely love the embellishment
This Derek Lam dress...its so simple yet chic and would be perfect for everyday winter wear
Again Derek Lam with a swing skirt, belt and grey top this is also a good winter look and so it won't be so drag try it with bold colored pumps or a statement jacket
Dior resort dress i'm so in love with this dress the color the feathers the tailoring its absolutely perfect for me
This cute little black dress from DKNY is perfect because its a great silhouette and you can make it daring and bold with colored tights, platforms, or bold jacket and accessories
This Christopher Kane dress made of velvet and leather which is to die for..i remember when i was ten i wore a blue velvet dress with purple ombre embroidering and i fell in love with it but it doesn't fit me and this Kane confection is just the ticket
Every single color of the V neck American Apparel T-shirt
This yellow green Armani dress which is a stunning color that will have everyone looking at you
This Balenciaga dress from the 2006 collection which i've wished for every Christmas since i saw it...maybe this is my year
This pink Christian Lacroix dress because its pink and girly and would make anyone feel like a goddess
This other Christian Lacroix dress i love the print and....what don't i love about Christian Lacroix?
I know that i hardly if ever post about pants or shirts because i am a dress girl...it's weird i own jeans and shirts but i'm just so attracted to dresses...my mom thinks its an addiction
And that is all for now since i'm sure i'll find much more...i'll be gone to Houston for Thanksgiving holidays and i think we're off to Brazil for the Christmas holidays though of course i'll be home for the 24th and the 25th so i'll be seeing you in some time but just in case things don't work out i wish everyone an early Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza
