My Take - Celine Fall 2013 Plaid

I know it's a little quirky, but I love this plaid jacket from Celine's Fall 2013 collection.  I'm not the biggest plaid fan, but I found some really cute, budget friendly alternatives.

My Take - Celine Spring 2014 Handbag

Top: Celine Spring 2014

Bottom: Jonathan Adler

Celine always introduces serious "it" bags every season.  For the recent Spring 2014 collection, this geometric-shaped handle bag was featured heavily.  Of course it's going to be extremely pricey (duh), but I like the idea of the gold, geometric handle playing against the black leather.  I ran across this gorgeous Jonathan Adler tote that I think is a pretty awesome alternative.

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)!

Balenciaga

Love the colors here and the metallic accents in a sort of leopard pattern.  Take note of the sheen.

Versace

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.

Celine

Dolce & Gabbana

Lots o' lace and brocade.  I really want the late 1990's/early 2000's D&G back.  Sigh.

My Five - Celine Resort 2011

Another stellar minimalist/utilitarian-chic collection from Phoebe Philo.  Take note of the wider legged pants, good grief you can't even see the shoes - LOL!  My five picks are:

Celine Fall 2010

Another fab, wearable, grown up collection from Phoebe Philo:

*side note - that guy in the green sweater, in every shot and totally distracting (but maybe that's why he wore it).

Celine Pre-Fall 2010

Ooooh, bunches to adore here!  I love the bright suede shoes.  One of the most interesting pre-Fall collections I've seen - inspiration abounds.  Here are the looks I was smitten with from Celine (not jazzed about the fur coats, but look at it more for silhouette and color).  The second  and third looks down are my "picks to click" (as White Sox broadcaster Hawk would say) - homeruns!

Phoebe Philo talks about Celine with Vogue

This article was featured in October's Vogue - a very interesting read about her return to fashion (see my picks from her Spring 2010 Celine collection here).  But what totally hooked me in were the photographs by Annie Leibovitz, just beautiful!  Taken at Philip Johnson's Glass House in New Canaan, CT.  Wow!

Celine Spring 2010

Phoebe Philo's collection for Celine was full of wearable items in Earthy, neutral colors.  I was really taken by the leather t-shirts.  Here are the looks I found most interesting:
