Like a Flower

Found these really cool postcards in Epcot Japan during my vacation in Florida. Sorry about the spots on the photos it's from my camera. My favorite is the girl holding the camera, I really wish I bought them.

Anyways, only 8 more days till I'm back in the city and at LIM - I'm unbelievably excited.

"Just because I'm sassy and have a mouth on me doesn't mean I'm coming from a negative place. There's irony in what I do; that gets overlooked. I've listened to a lot of rap where men talk a certain way, often about women, and I'm not offended. It's meant to be funny. I'm throwing it right back at them, with humor, but some people can't take it. They're not used to women talking back." -Ke$ha

Fall 2010 Trends

Sheer

Sweet and sexy in one trend, how delightful! With sweetheart tops and plunging necklines, this trend let's you be sexy without being skanky. This trend can collide with the cut-out look to make a sweet and sassy look, that's undeniably sexy. Go to www.store.americanapparel.net to achieve this look!

Velvet

Quality over quantity. Velvet will be disgustingly popular this upcoming season but don't go trend crazy and buy every velvet piece you lay your eyes on. The colors are rich (think deep greens and purples), and it can be used as any piece from dresses to hats to purses. Velvet will present itself with some great new opportunities in your closet.

Lingerie as Outerwear

Wearing lingerie as outerwear is a huge upcoming trend for Fall 2010. This look came about in the 1980's (think Madonna), but the lingerie as outerwear look returns with a hipster/street-wear look.

Avoid: Wearing stockings as outerwear.

If you remember Sienna Miller pulled it off at the New York City after-party of Factory Girl but remember: she is Sienna Miller, and you are not.

Cut-out

This trend is usually popular during Spring/Summer but it has made it's way to the runways for Fall. Designers have shown a vast variety of styles for both clothing and accessories. It can either be sweet or sexy with cut-out pieces directly baring the skin or "filled in" with sheer fabrics. You can score this look for a bargain @ www.store.americanapparel.net NOW!

Military

Military lives on and remains as a trend for Fall 2010 but with a twist. The trend for Fall now takes cues from the 20th Century military uniforms and turns away from the pomp and ceremony that all of us fashionistas have become accustomed to.

Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2010

Lara Stone for Louis Vuitton

New Age Traveler - $54,500

Monogram Eden Speedy25 - $1200-2880

Monogram Denim Sunshine - $2330-3230

Monogram Cheche - $2430

"Because the collection loosely took its cues from the idea of the New Age Traveler, we decided to create a green, outdoorsy set, that would evoke a spirit of peace and love." -Marc Jacobs (Artistic Director)

In the six visuals, model-of-the-moment Lara Stone is in a series of pictures on a bed of moss and ferns, surrounded by white doves.

The cool, fresh background throws into a relief of the vivid colors of Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2010 collection and it's array of standout accessories, including metallic Monogram canvas and sun-bleached Monogram denim bags, furry foxtail charms, hardware-inspired jewelry and wooden clogs embellished with rustic tufts of fur.

"This is a very strong campaign, reflecting the vibrant, optimistic mood of the Spring/Summer 2010 show. We are delighted to continue our partnership with Steven Meisel (photographer), and to welcome Lara Stone as the voluptuous new embodiment of the Louis Vuitton woman." -Antoine Arnault (Head of Communications for Louis Vuitton)

"Is that weird, taking my Louis Vuitton bag camping?" -Jessica Simpson
