Excuse this small burst of gush, and please allow me to swoon all over myself. Vera Wang is a goddess. Her collections, I swear, are a manifestation of my brain but made 15 kajillion times more sparkling and beautiful. Seriously. Check out the campaign photos for her Fall/Winter 2010/11 line…

It has begun. It started out innocent enough, a little ribbon in my hair on one or two occasions. Then came the sequin emblazoned t-shirt, the headband, the earrings, and before I knew it, they were everywhere. I have been over-run by the fearsome and oh so frightening… bow. Yes, the bow. The word itself strikes fear in the hearts of many. But I, on the other hand, have fallen so madly and obsessively in love with them.

The girlie-girl in me is squealing with pure delight with the Erin Fetherston Resort 2011 collection. Each click of my mouse as I flipped through look after look had me flailing with giddiness. And how could I not when the collection was filled with such delightful details as bows!, pleats!, boater hats!, peter pan collars!!, sweetheart necklines!!, and pretty little dresses!!! Sorry, got a little exclamation mark happy there. To be entirely materialistic for a moment… I want the entire collection!

Nearly two months after it debuted on the runway, I still find myself daydreaming about that ice-inspired Chanel collection. Perhaps it’s the winter-lover in me, but even after all this time, I’m still quite giddy over this collection and the treasure trove of beauty and little details it holds. I realise this seems very, very out of place now considering the grass is finally turning green and buds are appearing on trees, but I just love the super plush furs, woolly textures, and general Arctic-inspired approach to this collection. Despite the cool colour scheme, and frigid concept, this collection still imparts a luscious sense of warmth and comfort.

I’m quite enamoured with the temporary tattoos that the recent Chanel line as come out with. The beauty of them is in their delicate designs, and for me personally, the temporary part is very appealing. The idea of permanently etching something onto my body terrifies me to no end. But it’s funny actually, for something I have zero interest in doing to myself, I find myself very drawn to the art of tattooing. I don’t think I would ever get a tattoo – mostly because I fear in 10 years, I would hate it and want to rip my skin off – but I do love admiring from afar. Generally, the first that comes to mind when someone mentions tattoos is not something that is artful or elegant in the least. (Personally, I think of gruffy pirates with anchors and banners reading “Mother”.) But there are a lot of really beautiful designs floating around, and that’s what keeps me searching out tattoo designs. I sometimes find myself watching those tattooing shows on television (I could personally care less amount the drama and all that sort of thing on the show), but I love seeing what images people get inked on their bodies and the special messages behind them. It must be very empowering.
