Various Fall 2012 picks
It's not even officially Summer yet, but I'm going to wrap up my Fall 2012 collection coverage with various picks. Bring on Resort 2013 (which I've already started digging into with Bottega Veneta and Oscar de la Renta)!
Love the colors here and the metallic accents in a sort of leopard pattern. Take note of the sheen.
Nice but sheesh I'm so tired of this goth, moody vibe from Versace. I want Donatella to think about a little more than what she would wear 24/7. Love certain pieces but then it's gets so repetitive (like fashion "white noise"). Snore.
Lots o' lace and brocade. I really want the late 1990's/early 2000's D&G back. Sigh.

My Five - Balenciaga Spring 2012
Let me start by saying that I just plain don't "get" Balenciaga some times. I mean, I "get" it in the inspiration/design/story of it all, but as a woman who wants clothes for life, then no I don't "get" it. See, I admire designers that draw from real life or living things more than art and architecture. One can get waaaaay to intellectual for your own good. There has to be some warmth to what is being designed so it doesn't feel so unrelatable or distant. There's no doubt that Nicolas Ghesquiere is an innovator, he's a master with textiles and prints for sure but dude, help a sister out. Balance, Nicolas, you need more balance (see Miucca Prada) - you don't need unflattering hotpants as the bottoms for a majority of the collection, you are better than that! Off my soapbox now, here are some picks from the collection - mostly selected for color and print.
Here's a hat that is ever so practical - ugh...but loving the pattern mix of the dress.

My Five - Balenciaga Resort 2012
Balenciaga can be hard to wrap your head around when looking at a whole collection. Most often, the parts are better than the whole. There are always a few gems in every collection that can be overpowered by the "weirdness" of some of the other items in the same collection. Do you know what I mean? Anyway, here are three looks from Resort 2012 that are totally outstanding in my opinion. Enjoy!

My Five - Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2011
A collection full of layers and mixtures of patterns and textures. Honestly, not as futuristic as some previous collections and that was nice. Here are my five picks!

Balenciaga Fall 2010
While I, personally wouldn't wear much from this collection I can totally appreciate how technical and innovative it is. I'm going to focus on the details here, that's where you can really see how amazing the clothes and accessories really are.
