Nina Ricci Fall 2009

Olivier Theyskens may have been doing his swan song for Nina Ricci but it was none the less a sweet melody. This year's Fall 2009 Collection was masterful. His lines were bold and classic. His gowns were actually wearable and colorful. You can go to Style.com to see the full collection.

What a sophisticated coat! At first there was a question as to whether this was a coat or a over sized shirt. Once we got the proper definition it became even more intriguing. It looks relaxed enough to wear as a top. Sophisticated enough that you could dress it up. This is a smart find and for some of you a smart buy!

Donatella Versace--- Fall 2009

Milan, March 2, 2009. Donatella Versace's Collection for Fall 2009 took my breath away. It was classy, sexy, colorful, detailed, and inspiring. And definitely not a moment too soon. Her color play was just masterful. Her use of accessories was minimal, but where they were used they were beautiful and bold but not overpowering. Here's a sampling of the collection:

Here's a bag thats cool on a number of different levels. First it meets my requirement of being well made. Secondly, it's styled smartly. Thirdly, you could wear this with almost anything. So it's really versatile. Guess that makes it a classic, huh?

You have got to imagine that my eyes have run across so many styles of shoes til I'm probably blue in the face. Which is why I know that I have got to be addicted to them because regardless to how many styles I've seen, I'm always looking for that next pair that will just send me into "shoe high." While the following shoes don't send me into my "shoe high" they are none the less exciting and I'll take a little excitement over none at all!
