a conversation in bikini village:

me: uggggggh. enough with the berets already, ralph lauren.
sarah from the other room where she is reading important law-things: for sure. hipsters kinda ruined them.
me: RIGHT?!!!

okay so it isn't the best play. but it does cut to the point that i hate the beret thing, ralph lauren. it is old and done and we're over it, move on. not to mention that berets are FRENCH and you are a 'classic AMERICAN' designer and that your collection is all 'HEY HEY SPANISH TIME!' and then also there are mountie pants... so. the moral is. NO. NO NO BERETS. enough. ew ugh gross dumb. there were a tooooonnnnnnnnnnn of beret looks, but i could only handle clipping a few cause i was SO MAD AT THE BERETS! ugh again!

or maybe it is just that i hate hats on the runway? i'm not a big fan of the other hat in this collection. and i did get real mad about marc jacobs and LV last season...

no. there are good hats. i hate gimmick hats. that is all.

repeatathon

guys. is it just me or is the louis vuitton collection just a second marc jacobs show? yes, i know he designs both. but. they're different lines. you'd think there'd be some separation there. i'm booooored with it! the pre-fall lv styling was so bang on. and this. bleh. not a fan. we get it. wacky crazy rich lady meets bag lady hobo. over it.

and serioulsy, one more damn jamiroquai hat and i'm going to get violent. seriously.

look at the clothes. ignore the styling. or don't. whatever. booooored!

no need to panic

not to be hyperbolic, but, um, the casting for the louis vuitton pre-fall is THE GREATEST CASTING IN THE HISTORY OF TIME! except for maybe that girl for alexander mcqueen pre-fall... okay fine. i loved her a LOT.

pre-fall is sure making me capslock a lot this year. jeepers!

so. all three of these girls are just so bang on perfect. and. the hair! all tucked in. and the eyes! and the lips! you get my drift. well put-together from beginning to end. full concept fulfillment. good work.

and i think i might have actually thrown up just a little when i saw the second dress below. (thrown up with love.) with the grey and the sequin and the layers and the white. and the fading into yellow/gold. it is tears-worthy. museum-worthy. giving-up-your-first-born-worthy. (remember when i said 'not to be hyperbolic'? i think i've done a good job of that, yeah? perfectly non-hyperbolic, this post.)

finally. fur collars. that is all. look and love.
