And yes, I understand in the next picture you can tell they're socks.
Look below! Shhhh!! (Lookbook.nu worthy?)
Lace detail of dress:

Anyway.......
Socks (worn as gloves) - Free People
Dress - Juicy Couture 2006ish (oh no! i was just reading this and i realized it looked like $2006 but its from the year 2006)
Flower Headband (worn as belt) - Urban Outfitters
Leopard Leggings - Boutique

And I know you can't see them because of my big circle covered face, but I am wearing the new pearl stud earrings I got for Valentine's Day from my parents. I love them =]

Fall Fashion Week '09

Well, Happy Belated Fashion Week! As I checked out the slideshows on Style.com, I was astonished. My heart raced, head ached, fingers quivered. Never had a Fall Fashion Week been so brilliant. Sure, many times there is just that one collection that makes me freak, but overall this fashion week was a new definition of success. Let's review, shall we?

Ok, to be honest I had never heard of Phi until I saw the name on the list on Style.com. I am extremely excited I came across it because I think I am inlove.

The leather and the fur are just so sleek. I love the blacks and that stunning navy dress just puts me in awe.

Let's move on to Alexander Wing. He took the "Little Back Dress" and gave it edge. I loved every single piece.

And don't you love the off white dress? Classic edge.

Alright, well I will soon come back to review more. I have quite a lot to say, but I have to finish an outline for an essay on Arthur Miller's The Crucible.

Goodnight everybody.

EDIT:
Who knew Erin Fetherston could pull off feminine better than Luella Bartley?
My favorite collection of the season so far.
Enchanting, whimsical, a fairy tale portrayed on the runway.

Inspiring Sundays

Some inspiration found today (a couple of which are from Teen Vogue). A lot of people say Teen Vogue is beginning to go downhill and Nylon is doing quite the opposite. I would care to kindly disagree. Teen Vogue's spreads always make me love fashion even more than I already do. The reason I do not like Nylon is mostly because of the layout. I like that they have some cool new ideas, but I get so confused when I read it. There are random outfits every so often, and I can't keep up. I do understand why people do love Nylon though. Anyway, here is the inspiration:

Luna Supernova

Never in my blogging career have I been so excited to post something on The Stylish Spot. I am pleased to announce this blog's new feature: Undiscovered Blogs. So many of the best blogs out there are unknown and need to be put on display.

I introduce to you Laura of Luna Supernova.





Laura's blog is very playful yet elegant. All of her outfit choices are brilliant. She makes fashion look so effortless. I love to see when she posts something new because I know it will be beautiful and eloquent.

I asked Laura a few questions for her point of view which you can see below: 


What/who inspires you? a lot of things are inspirational to me, i have a built up library of images in my head, people from lookbook, advertising campaigns, editorial shoots, designer collections which have appealed to me, an era or trend or simply a beautiful photograph. I build all my outfits around a single piece. I pick the piece then use my library of images to help myself build around it.
How did you get into the blogging community? I have made about 4 blogs before Luna, none of which ever really made it past the 1st or 2nd post. I gave up for a while, however people started asking me what my blog address was and I got sick of saying well actually I don't have a blog so I went ahead and created Luna.
Who are your favorite designers? It completely differs between seasons, but currently I love Stolen Girlfriends Club (a New Zealand label) and Lanvin. I really admire designers like McQueen, John Galliano and Vivienne Westwood who aren't afraid to take risks and revel in putting on a show.
Do you have any links to share (lookbook, chictopia, etc.)sure, my lookbook is http://lookboo k.nu/user/10347-Laura-A and my blog of course is http://lunasupern ova.blogspot.com/
Anything else? I'm excited to have written my first article for a fashion magazine, KAREN magazine, a New Zealand publication (http://www.karenmag .com/) so if you can get your hands on a copy then check out my article on the new generation of fashion bloggers in next months issue. And in the words of Andy Warhol - "in the future everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" personally, I think our time has come.

I am Such a Liar!

I promised you all a rocker pink dress with black ankle boots. It needed accessories! The whole thing didn't work. The dress is gorgeous but it just was not going to please you. I am sorry. I will try not to make any false promises in the future.


But I am about to change into a new outfit and I'll post it. I wonder what it will look like.....

Tomorrow

Tomorrow I will try something new. My style is usually so proper and feminine. I am going for a little rocker chic type look tomorrow. I am wearing a rocker-ish hot pink dress and ankle boots. No accessories. How risky! Well, we'll see how it turns out tomorrow. I will post pictures.
