Ad Campaign: Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2013

I still can't believe the days of Nicolas Ghesquière are officially over at Balenciaga. I've grown to be such of a fan of his talent, I can't wait to see what he does next. Buzz is that he will be starting his on line, which I think he should totally do given what he's created at the helm of one of the most famous fashion houses in the world of fashion. The ad campaign for his last collection, which was shot by the wonderful, Steven Meisel, is all that is Balenciaga; chic, multiple girls, fresh, and classic Ghesquière. I'll miss him...I guess we'll have to wait and see what A Wang delivers as it's new creative director.

Dave Franco for GQ UK

I don't understand the whole infatuation with James Franco, but his younger brother, Dave on the other hand, THAT I can understand. While he hasn't been around as much as his older brother, I definitely think he's talented, but more so more good looking. An all American looking guy for sure. Let's be real, he can fill in a t-shirt perfectly. Community's Allison Brie, is one lucky lady. :)

Celine Pre Fall 2013

Is anyone else going cray cray bananas bonkers over Phoebe Philo's latest Pre-Fall 2013 collection for the house of Celine? YES YES YES. From the pleated leather skirts, full wide brimmed straw hats, fur jackets, and the gold detailing on the shoes (not to mention those crazy yummy platform creepers!). Per usual, her play on proportion is just too perfect. Subtle, chic, classic Celine, and all across the board envious.

Mens London Fashion Week: Topman Design Fall/Winter 2013

If you know me personally, than you'd understand my addiction to the color orange. I think I resonate with a lot of things when you think about the color orange...weird. Anyways, I am in love with these full on orange looks from Topman Design's FW 13 collection. That orange turtle neck to the orange cropped wool coat, which is pretty much everything right now. MAJOR. Gimmie gimmie gimmie..

Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring/Summer 2013 Beachwear Collection

I'm sure I'm not the only one ready for the summer heat, some palm trees, or a sandy beach, and by the look of these shorts from the Dolce & Gabbana SS 13 beachwear collection, I'm more than ready. Totally in the mood to put on these cute shorts, a tank, some sandals and frolic on the beach...Clearly I need a a vacation.

Ad Campaign: Chanel Spring/Summer 2013

Unlike their Pre-Fall 2013 Collection, I really enjoyed the SS 13 collection Karl had sent down the windmill filled runway a few months ago. From the giant hula hoop bag, to the transparent wide brimmed caps, the collections was chic, youthful, and elegant. How beautiful is newbie Yumi Lambert? I haven't seen a beautiful Japanese (and Belgian) model on the ad's of CHANEL since the days of Devon Aoki. Love how conventional and 70's the advertisement is. What do you guys think?
