Alberta Ferretti Spring 2010: Top Picks

00150m

Perhaps not so overtly retro as the last collection I posted up here, but nonetheless, a lot of feminine, vintage touches in a palette of creams, violets and dusky fall colors.

Taking Fashion Inspiration from Dolls

I wasted a whole lot of time on this doll blog, so that you don’t have to! Check out these retro doll fashions, can you believe it? The downside is, you can’t buy any of these outfits… you know, unless you’re 6″ tall.  I’d wear all of these outfits! If anyone out there is a wizz with a sewing machine and wants to recreate one of these for me, just let me know!!

Trend Spotting: Lonestar Championships

coloredkeds

Got a pair of colored Keds? There was a rainbow of Keds on display at this year’s Lonestar Championships in Austin, Texas (which, by the way, is a fab dance-hard weekend!)

You can get pretty much any color these days, or you can custom design your Keds at Zazzle.com. Cheap, cheerful, a good jack-of-all-trades dance sole (not too sticky, not too slick). Hmm, when I think of colored Keds I think of uber-cute Jeremy Otth from LA (left), or of Alain & Marie at last year’s ILHC, rockin’ out those matching yellow Keds (right)…

Who wears the pants?

You know how you randomly set aside images of looks you like, and after a while start to see a pattern emerging? I love this look, but sorry I can’t tell you where I got any of these images. They are just part of the dusty annals that is my random image collection, sitting in a folder on my desktop. Just noticed the pattern and thought I’d post it up! Leave a comment if you recognise any of the brands.
