Piaget Possession 20th Anniversary
piaget celebrated the 20th anniversary of their possession collection with lots of gold and sparkle.
the updated line wasn't exactly unique since some of the pieces looked like the crossbreed of cartier's trinity collection and david yurman's chain/cordelia collection. nonetheless, the jewels below stole my gold-and-glitz-obsessed heart.

Givenchy Fall 2011
i wasn't expecting a collection like this having seen spring 2011. but i suppose it's not so different considering that (as he did last season) he worked and reworked a single silhouette (loose-fitting sweater, varsity jacket, and knee-length skirt) in a tight, interrelated group of fabrics. i love that givenchy didn't resort to boring pumps but instead added some gold to it. and the panther skirts are amazing. i would wear it for work because nothing says "i'm fierce. don't piss me off" like those skirts!

Miu Miu Fall 2011
my first reaction to this collection was "yikes...what happen here...?"
and it still holds true for some of the looks. for example..... the most oddly proportioned, unflattering, boxy shaped coats...! if tall and skinny models look pretty sad wearing the clothes, best bet that the normal person will not look good in it. i mean if natasha poly looks bad in the prada coat (picture 5), it's going to be very hard for you to pull it off. having said that, some of the more reasonable shaped dresses were good. but yea not getting the fur around your belly. maybe miuccia prada is being considerate for your cold tummy during winter...
quiet an iffy collection but the dresses are good and the prints are quiet beautiful. what i did love, though, are the big clutches!

Tamara de Lempicka
tamara de lempicka is one of my favorite artists. i love her color scheme, brush work, and the mood her paintings convey. she is a beautiful polish art deco painter who was not only known for her work but for her love of glamorous social life. her distinctive and bold artistic style developed quickly and epitomized the cool yet sensual side of the art deco movement.
