I recently splurged on a subscription to French Vogue. I like to think I have a reasonable grasp on French, but of course when perusing an actual periodical, it's clear how tenuous that grasp is. Nevertheless, I've reached a point in my fashion mag obsession where I can no longer be bothered with words. It seems crazy, but the reality is that I'm Sally Bunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10804663927864218740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26688183.post-83170960030100202352014-03-15T22:00:00.001-07:002014-03-15T22:25:20.852-07:00Fall/Winter 2014-2015 London, Milan, ParisGot sidetracked!Alexander McQueen- gothic, rich, fantasy.

The only thing I hate about this collection is that it cant be purchased now. These yummy wool coats with big, cozy collars, and tightly belted waists are what I want to put on right this second. The counter-intuitive bare backed dresses are beautiful, but not really practical, though you know it hurts my heart to not champion an apron-aesthetic.

Most posted pictures from the shows on Twitter are blurry and pointless, but all posted of this show just captured Spring to me. I picture this woman (the designer and the woman she designs for) as the perfectly put-together sophisticate. She doesnt think too hard about her clothing, but demands the each piece and each thing in her life is precise.

I cant believe I havent tried out the Skyn Cooling Eye Firming Gels. It's that whole waiting for the right occasion.
The NYX shadow was nice - a smoky, navy blue that actually stayed really well. I'm pretty impressed with the NYX stuff - cheap but with good texture and wearability.
The Starlooks Obsidian Kohl was pretty great, as well.

Holy shit, that's a shitty site. For what screen size/resolution did they build it? It looks like shit on a mobile and even shittier (and longer to load) on a desktop. You cannot have an autoplay slideshow with an dynamic ad on each slide. That is just a shitty thing to do to your readers.

I always like the idea of Donna Karan, especially the thought of her stretch jerseys and uniforms - on the fence about the bodysuit thing, does she still do those? But the reality is I'm not crunchy or zenny or yoga-y enough. I would feel like a big faker phony in these clothes. Like Ralph Lauren in his cowboy gear.

I feel like things are so good right now. I'm scared to even say it out loud. How long will this feeling last? My home life is so very good, but that's my constant. It's when I'm out in the world being me, all by myself, that things are hard. I didnt remember how to be proud of myself or what it felt like to be confident and happy professionally.

How do people who actually attend shows for their job actually fit them in? Or select which to see? Just sitting in my own home, with little free time to indulge in show watching anymore, I can barely fit in the time to quickly skim through just a handful of slideshows.

And this time, I had tried none of the items! I swooped in on that hot pink Urban Decay lipstick (Anarchy is the color. While not fullsize, it's a suuuuper nice sized lipstick trial). I have been dying to order Nars Yu for ages, so this is a great opportunity to get the shocking pink out of my system.

Perhaps I'm a bit more jaded, beaten down by life, but I honestly do not understand from what depths these egos are unearthed. Especially when it's not readily apparent what they have to be cocky about.
