This morning I headed early to Lincoln Center to see the Lacoste S/S ’12 show which was full of stripes and ’60s silhouettes.
For Felipe Oliveira Baptista‘s first womenswear collection as Lacoste’s new designer, he created a more playful feel than his predecessors, proving that he is not afraid of change. He mixed sunny primary colors with vibrant brown and classy navy and went for a new twist on cuts as seen on exaggerated arm holes. All in all, the collection has got a certain kind of sexiness which is pretty promising to me. What do you think?

A little gift waited for me on my chair.

Yesterday, at the 62nd Emmy Awards 2010 in Los Angeles, celebrities went on a berry hunt. The most beautiful dresses were the ones in the must-have berry shades of the season.
Those tones will remain for Resort 2011. Enjoy the sneak preview as most of the gowns have already been from the upcoming collections.
The US-series Mad Men won again in the category top drama. I would give the award fashionwise in the category “top drama gown” to their supporting actress Christina Hendricks in her lilac Zac Posen Resort 2011 dress that flaunted her curves perfectly and looked so stunning in combination with her flame-red hair.
On the F/W 2010 runways, berry tones were seen everywhere as if the designers have had all mixed berries for desert while creating their collections. The bright shades were combined in all ways.
I put some outfits together to show you how those hues combined together can make a strong statement and instantly update your wardrobe.
Red with violet, fuchsia with ruby, vermillion with plum- everything is possible, just let your imagination run free.
This winter, the LBD (Little Black Dress) is taken hostage by the LRD (Little Red Dress). So chances are very high that you might get scarlet fever soon. The bright vibrant tone is very contagious especially when worn tone on tone. Accessorize it with matching pumps and a bag in the same colour family for head-to-toe chic.
I am totally in love with Bottega Veneta‘s tone on tone looks. How about you?
Have I whet your appetite for mixed berries?
LoL, Sandra
