Rodarte and Mardi Gras

I know it is Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, but really, it is much too depressing to think about fall clothes when I am desperate for spring to arrive. However, nitro:licious posted a list of designers live streaming their Fall 2010 shows, which is a great resource for those unable to make it to New York and is too tempting for me to pass up even though it's about fall clothes. I just finished watching one of my favorite designers, Rodarte, which had a homey/romantic vibe and lots of beautiful white dresses. I enjoyed watching the show, but the problem with live streaming is that the video frequently freezes and the sound cuts out - very annoying but better than missing the show completely. I think it is wonderful how the fashion industry is embracing technology and bringing high fashion to the masses.

Since it is Mardi Gras, I thought I would put together a little Fat Tuesday look complete with Paczi and King Cake. Enjoy!

Shades of Gray

Shades of Gray by Icedivastar featuring Preen

Gray is one of those colors that I try to avoid because it makes me feel blah, which is never a good thing. However, the color is growing on me as more designers are incorporating this color into their collections. Luelle, Rodarte, and 3.1 Phillip Lim all included pieces of gray in their fall collections; my favorite being Rodarte's thigh-high boots. Earlier this year, I jumped on the gray nail polish bandwagon and adore Sephora by OPI's Run With It! Who knows? Maybe this is my color after all.
