She’s A Brick House….. Oh my, I’ve always wanted a brick house. I found out that brick and mortar deteriorate. Physical shapes soon run out! It’s like material possessions they are wonderful, but nothing can take the place of what I possess inside.
Balmain Fall/Winter 2011/2012 Collection Is All Glitz And Dazzle
Balmain under Christophe Decarnin was known for its glitzy style and even though the designer was absent at Balmain Fall/Winter 2011/2012 Fashion Show the collection is said to be designed according to his vision. There is lots of glitz and dazzle in the collection to jazz up your fall wardrobe with.
Balmain Fall/Winter 2011/2012 collection is almost too shiny with all those glitzy pants, dazzling jackets, and mirror-encrusted dresses. Though Balmain is known for its dazzling ready-to-wear the collection has too much of glitter and needs a bit more solid texture to nicely balance out all the sparkling stuff. There are some basic items though but these are too made of glossy fabric. Nevertheless there are some great pieces in Balmain Fall/Winter 2011/2012 collection I want to show you.
Helios & Luna Collection for Fall 2012
One of the pieces that caught my eye in the February issue of People StyleWatch was a vibrant orange leather skirt by a new-to-me brand called Helios & Luna by Patricia Clyne. So when I received this sneak peek of the designer’s Fall 2012 presentation, I was instantly intrigued. Here’s a quote from the designer about her inspiration for the collection which will be shown next week during New York Fashion Week:
“This season I went to an art gallery for my inspiration for the new Helios & Luna Collection for Fall 2012. I became obsessed by the paintings of British conceptual modern artist Martin Creed. His graphic bold strokes and colors reflect the spirit of the woman the collection is deigned for.”

Giambattista Valli’s Spring 2012 Couture collection
Giambattista Valli’s Spring 2012 Couture collection is fantastic, one of the best we have seen so far. It features amazing ballgowns, red-carpet-worth floor-length dresses and chic cocktail outfits. To finish the looks the designer topped models’ heads with flower-inspired headpieces.
Giambattista Valli was born to design couture. I am not saying his prêt-a-porter collections are bad. They are fresh and interesting. But his couture ranges (two of them have been presented so far) are absolutely incredible. The one he unveiled for Spring 2012 left me breathless.
Giambattista Valli’s ballgowns impressed me the most. Pompous, luxurious and sophisticated at the same time these came as the climax of the designer’s Spring 2012 Couture show. Floral prints were amazing and the colors looked great.
Other floor length gowns were more demure but they were also chic and exquisite which automatically put them into the range of future red carpet choices. The drapery was outstanding and finished with golden flowers used as necklaces, and collars it created an incredible effect.
Just like his more sumptuous designs Giambattista Valli’s cocktail dresses and ensembles from the Spring 2012 Couture collection were clearly inspired by flowers which realized in a variety of patterns and lovely details that made the garments look interesting.
Top 5 Must Haves For 2012
The wide leg pant.
While heavy wool or lined pairs might not be ideal for the heat, wide legged pants in lightweight fabrics or denim can easily make the transition to spring. Lighten up dark coloured pants for the warmer months by pairing them with light colours up top – and swap the boots for wedges or high heeled sandals.
The tuxedo jacket.
An easy option for heading out after hours, it’s is a classic that goes well beyond the A/W 2011 season. For spring white or cream takes are a dream with everything from dresses to shorts – but fall’s classic black dinner jacket is also a keeper.

The high slit dress.
While the runways for both seasons have seen plenty of evening wear takes, you can also work a casual slit into your wardrobe come spring. Pair a slit skirt with a cotton tank for an effortless summer take.
The ’60s peter pan collar.
From the black and white strictness of Louis Vuitton to the fresh, candy colours of spring: a sweet sixties look is still lifted by the addition of a round peter pan collar.
