NYFW Lacoste Spring 2013 RTW

Lacoste

Lacoste was surprisingly quirky cool.

I found myself wanting a few choice pieces from the collection.

The plastic jackets and slips mixed with the refined mod feel gave off a bit of a blade runner feel.

NYFW Zac Posen Spring 2013 RTW

Zac Posen

Zac Posen gathered a lot of media attention due to (the legendary) Naomi Campbell walking the runway.

The peplum trend was certainly maintained through this collection. My favorite look was the stunning red gown paired witht the gorgeously shimmering jewels.

NYFW Diane Von Furstenburg Spring 2013 RTW

DVF

DVF is one of my all time favorite designers because of her love of bright prints, flattering drapery and kooky accents. This collection didn't disappoint.

Not going to deny it. I got a bit excited when I saw the loose fitting fuchia shorts. Loving it.

NYFW Carolina Herrera Spring 2013 RTW

Carolina Herrera

I love some of the details of this collection, such as the stark orange colour of some fabrics, the feminine and flattering cut of the high waisted shorts, and the gorgeous cat eye sunglasses.

However, the over all collection had a grandma-ish kind of feel. From the gaudy mish mash prints (not featured above), to the sheer overlay and the elasticated heels (the flats were cute though), I just wasn't 100% in love with it.

Louis Vuitton to Dotti Lace Collar

Louis Vuitton Lace Collar Update:

In a recent post, I mentioned that Cotton On have a Louis Vuitton inspired lace collar blouse. Upon reflection (i.e. more shopping), I have been made aware of a Louis Vuitton inspired white lace dress from Dotti.

This Dotti 'Daisy Mesh Dress' is available in store (I saw it in Rundle Mall) for $79.95.

Happy Spring Time!

Lady Gaga Fame Perfume Update

As you may or may not know, I am a huge Gaga fan/monster.

It should thus be no surprise that I am greatly anticipating the release of her first perfume, Fame.

The perfume was released a week or so ago overseas, but is yet to be released in Australia. The official release date here is a bit shady, so I went on my own investigation.

I'm a regular at the Marc Jacobs perfume corner at the Myer Centre in Rundle Mall, so I went to my favourite little sales woman and asked a few cheeky questions.

The lady let me know that *THE PERFUME IS IN AUSTRALIA ALREADY* by mentioning (under the table) that it smells amazing. She said that the staff have smelt it for "training purposes".

I also grilled her about the release day, which she said will be *most likely* 15 September!

You can all thank me in 15 days, when you're all smelling great and looking fiiiine.
