Think Pink: FALL

We have been preconditioned in fashion culture when we think pink with respect to seasons we think of Spring and/or Summer. Pink is not a hue that comes to mind as summer wraps up and we roll into the Fall season. As always, Fashion has only the rules you personally apply. Wearing white after labour day and the like are things of the past. I was happy to see the fall runways full of pinky pastels.

"Pink makes the prettiest addition to winter wardrobes; partner it with soft grey and black for an instant burst of femininity" ~ VogueUK fashion features director Sarah Harris. Making reference to day wear.

I am not a slave to trends and wear whatever color I want, when I want too. I am delighted in PINK for fall, especially for evening:

Vintage 60's Victoria Royal Ltd. Beaded Pink Chiffon GOWN ~ $350

Vintage Jr. Theme New York Party Dress ~ $90

Pink Chiffon Evening Gown Mike Benet Formals ~ $150

Are you thinking PINK for FALL 2013?

All Hail McQueen

I have always loved the house of McQueen and was both shocked and saddened when he passed away. I am thrilled, however with the exquisite vision and design still being produced by the creative director (Sarah Burton) and her team for the House of McQueen, not all design houses are not so lucky to survive and thrive in this way.

The collection for FALL 2013 was so inspiring to me. VOGUE.com Said "fashion is about that moment when, what you are seeing before you is so magically transportative that you catch your breath, then forget to breathe out; that it goes beyond any kind of cerebral comprehension and instead causes an intense and instant emotional connection." 

This is exactly how I feel about the art of fashion in general but was transported into this state with just 10 looks of this highly inspired and detailed collection.  Insert my Queenly laughter at the moment when someone balks at the notion that fashion is a serious art form.  Not all 10 looks are featured here but I'm sure you can get the idea. The details are so beautiful.

P.S.:  I want these

and these ...

All Hail McQueen ... I wonder who will be bold enough to ware any of these exquisite pieces on a red carpet or event? I'm excited to see. Royal Wave Required.
