Sushi Chic

NYC based designer Elise Overland showcased her fall 2009 collection this February 14th at the drive-in studios.  I have to ask myself why I haven't posted these earlier.  To be honest I haven't the slightest idea.  Photos with this magnitude of brilliance definitely do not belong sitting in a documents folder.  Therefore I provide you with a bit of daily eye candy for your viewing pleasure :)

I love the amazing array of vibrant colors and textures Elise incorporates into her pieces this season.  All the little details are just as lovely as well, such as the super chic zipper embellishments and pyramid studded leather gloves.  I would kill for the metallic purple lambskin blazer.

"Shimmer" was apparently the shows theme says Overland who was inspired by a cook book about japanese sushi given to her by a friend, Alexander Rower.  Elise was also quoted saying that she was going for, "the sophisticated rock & roll badass princess look"  She most certainly hit it right on the head with that one, don't you think?

Sonia Rykiel shades that I must figure out a way to afford.

Backstage Karl Lagerfeld Spring/Summer 09 

I'm currently lusting after all the key pieces in Karl Lagerfeld & Kenzo's Spring/Summer 09 line. I especially love the Kenzo boots in the second picture.  I should have gotten a close up of the shoe's details but you get the idea.  The arm jewelry (not exactly sure one would call it jewelry) Lagerfeld created is TO DIE for.  Where does he come up with this stuff?  Honestly.

I could totally see myself attending summer cocktail parties in any of these beautiful dresses.  What do you guys think?

These photos of Raquel Zimmermann and Suvi Koponen are absolutely breathtaking and imaginative in the most effortless ways. This is one of my favorite shoots of all time.
