Hey there lovelies……I’ve been so wrapped up in Paris fashion week!!! It’s half over and it has been just as amazing as I anticipated it would be! The collections are beautiful, edgy and everything in between! Here is a roundup of some of my favorite runway moments and looks thus far!
Metallic, shimmer, silk and lame’ at the Lanvin show. Very rock ‘n roll!
Sexy glam and plenty of chain detail, bomber jackets, quilted leather, tweed and denim at the Balmain show, very reminiscent of 90’s Chanel.
Feminine silhouettes, leather, ruffles and lace at the Isabel Marant show.
Gwen Stefani and No Doubt arriving at the American music awards tonight. The fashionable front woman is wearing an amazingly embellished Balmain coat from the Fall 2012 collection.

Balmain is known for their endless embellishments and overall rock ‘n’ roll vibe, but when Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing teamed up with jeweler Aurélie Bidermann, the pair created a calm classy carryall…… Introducing Pierre, Balmain’s debut handbag named after the famed founder of the french fashion house. Made of suede and available in either grey, cherry, or natural, Pierre comes complete with an ivory leather interior and is adorned with a faux ivory tooth for a bit of edge. Just like Balmain clothing, Pierre won’t be easy to acquire. The bag comes with a hefty $4,350 price tag and will be exclusively available at Barneys New York, Harrods and the Balmain Paris store.
Ok ok I’m breaking from my Spring/Summer 2013 NYFW coverage to talk about this trend that is HOT right now for Fall! The question is…..will you wear it? I may try it but I’m a bit scared. The baroque style brings so many things to mind……17th century, opulence, luxury, royalty, gold, DRAMA! With plenty of elaborate details and wild ornamentation this trend can seem difficult to pull off, I think the right person CAN though. Like any fashion lover I would DIE for a Balmain jacket, but that may be the only baroque piece I would wear or is it????? Hmmmmmm, While I’m not completely closed off to the notion, I’d just have to find the right piece, something that speaks to my heart. A jacket or a clutch???? Maybe a T? or Jeans?
Some inspiration……
All baroque doesn’t have to be gold, these jeans are very wearable.
