you do not have to be skinny to view this blog, the title is for coolness only

i am a seventeen year old girl living in melbourne. i go to a rare school that allows me to do three fashion subjects which is mad cool. i do my best to make the most of every moment and try to push myself outside of my comfort zone, gosh i hate that word. screw smoking and sleeping around, i don't want the clap or tuberculosis. i am happy with my health, my friends, my fam, cat and tidy light blue bedroom with roses and leather on the walls. i admire russell brand's charisma, justin bieber's voice, t-pain in general and my cat bok choy for being so flexible that he can lick his own privates. oh and my name's karista

Lanvin Love

Cannot get over Lanvin's Resort 2011 Collection, utterly fresh!
My personal favourite. Of course the of-the-moment all famous toga style with the model on the right. I adore the gentle frills and those giant necklaces! I'm unsure how you would describe this incredible style. Well I see the headscarves and they are done in sort of pirate fashion but they are pitch black so that I believe creates an entire new look on its own. Almost like a modern take on a nun. The dresses speak elegance with a beam of pretty. Now don't get me started on those accessories! They look to me like grenades slash contemporary hearts, or technologic hearts even. Perfect subtle yet stunning odd shoes.
Okay so what have I drawn from this? We've got a graceful, 21st century religious pirate nun who is a warrior of love fighting for independence. Probably just my strange imagination but that's my take on things. 

Arbitrary words that come to me when looking at this:
Retro, Sheek, Rebel, Elegance, Fierce, Pretty, Holy, Hardcore, Chapel, Chic, Xena.

You may have your own take on these, if I write another crazy description kind of thing then ima be late for VET fashion class which starts in 11 minutes.. oh boy, I gonna be late anyways. Well doesn't that just show the loyalty I have for Thin & Bones? Or maybe just my irresponsibility forwards my education?... Hmm.
  
Possibly a soft gothic feel, I can see her running in slow motion through the morning lit streets of Paris clutching her skirt firmly in her hands to raise it from the ground. Extravagant, Dramatic and Theatrical!
Would you care for a poolside drink, Sex On The Beach perhaps? Yeah baby! Oh wow, the tiredness of staying up last night watching Fight Club is overwhelming me. Bad idea 'cos now I am talking crazy. What an exuberant hue, same one used in the S/S'10 collection. Just adore it.
So classy and fun, pretty and a stand-out look. St-hunning! (sung Susan Boyle-style)  Yeah, unbelievable colour, fuchsia and hot pink on the feet to go. Great chunky necklace, what a statement! What does it say to you?
I saved another stunning black number for last. I just love the declaration that an honest black outfit can make. I'd say; sexy, misbehaving co-worker that wears her sunglasses 24/7 (including while working in her office cubical) with a cigar between her fingers. Makes the guys laugh histerically all day with her great impersonations of Al Pacino and Tony Soprano. Constantly gets called in to her boss' office for slacking off and distracting everyone around her.
I think we all know why she remains employed there at Sunshine Newspaper. 
Oh that neckline, Spectacular!

  1. I LOVED this collection! Haven't had time to review it yet :( Alber Elbaz is amazing.
    The odd shoes seriously topped it all off for me.
