Summer rainbow

I've noticed that this particular sky blue is really popular among the resort collections. It does remind one of clear blue oceans and bright blue skies doesn't it??

I love the LV anorak.

Also I find it pretty remarkable that three different designers used this color combo. Not just two colors but three! The inspiration must be flamingos at the ocean ... :D

According to the man who could do no wrong his resort collection was based on the 'perfect American [look] of the fifties—but made in the wrong way.'
Personally I think Alber Elbaz's resort show kinda reminded me of the rebellious 1920s... either way. I love! once again.

Resort much?

I think that being interested in fashion is just as specific as being interested in interior design. Just because you have a home doesn't mean you know who designed your chair or who Didn't design it for that matter. So no one should ever expect a random person to know any designers or know that the shoes they're wearing are "so last season." The moment I start to think that way please put me out of my misery.

However,I think people like to look good and know that there is clothing out there they wish they could afford or know more about. Certain things like price and couture shows make fashion very exclusive and a seemingly unapproachable club. This is a large discussion I'm breaching here and I don't wish to get TOO into it. That said, I think this elite club is doing a good job opening the world up; young designers are bringing their talents to places like Target and Uniqlo because all their friends are the same as our friends - poor and cute as hell. The key that allows people to express their interest in fashion is cost and wearability. A fashion newbie isn't going to dive right into Comme de Garçons or Christopher Kane. More likely Narcisco Rodriquez or Michael Kors. The reason I get into this is because I was going through the resort shows and I think resort is the most approchable often of seasons. It's meant to be easy, breezy and comfy. And you're meant to look hot in it! One of my very favorite very wearable (and very young) designers this year so far was Jenni Kayne. I'm such a fan of clean, feminine shapes and color blocks.

These three outfits would make me die a happy woman.



And while I'm at it, my other favorites by a landslide.

Oscar the slouch

Resort by JC Penney!
Just kidding, is it just me or does oscar de la renta's resort line look like a knock-off of itself??



I just feel like the shapes are boring - not classic with flirt like he usually is - and the colors are so old navy fall palette. None of these things are wrong per se, just that they're priced almost as high as clothing can be priced and I don't see anything interesting or forward thinking about it.

And in addition, I was happy to see one of my crushes, a rarely seen Tracee Ellis Ross at the opening of the Alexander McQueen store in La La Land.



Also Beth Ditto rocking a rainbow caftan from McQueen. Love!
