How does Karl Lagerfeld out-do himself, season after season? I think this is the first time I have ever been so stunned from a collection --let alone his-- that I can call it my all time favorite. It's so timeless, yet adorned with a modern touch, introducing the concept of wearing "a tunic shape over a skinny pant, paired with flats," for instance (Vogue).  There is so much I can go on about, but in all honesty, I would sound reptitive & dull compared to Vogue's flawless coverage of the show, here. Enjoy xo

Loboutins make a speedy delivery with a rocket car, parachute or via the arctic, in the new spring lookbook.  The balloon dogs are so cute; how could I not post these? Lately, I've been having such obscure yet brilliant dreams. A few nights ago, one dream scene consisted of  me in a tram train, cruising near a rustic, historical tower (think Tower of Pisa) with thousands of balloons continuously bursting out of it (think the movie, Up). Now, now; I don't want to get all freudian about interpretations, but it was a pretty damn cool dream.
