I am a fan of Alexander Wang’s work. It’s edgy yet relaxed, cool and effortless. It was his Fall 2008 collection that made me sit up and take notice of this young designer’s work. In this outfit I channel Alexander Wang’s Fall 2008 collection.
Polyvore Set: Channeling Alexander Wang
Polyvore set: Inspired by Alexander Wang
Fall is on its way and though we’re not there quite yet, I’ve already started thinking about variations and interpretations of the fall collections. One such collection is from Alexander Wang (via Who What Wear Daily). Alexander Wang has an edgy perspective for his women’s wear looks. Everybody deserves an edgy outfit option. Here’s ours.
Polyvore set: There’s no place like home
Grab your red shoes! It’s time to make a wish. Wish for an outfit that’s sexy and flattering yet casual enough to wear any day all day.
Elena Miro dresses and skirts
Here’s a slight break from the day wear inspired by menswear. Here I’m exploring Elena Miro’s dressier looks for Autumn ‘08. I really like her use of shimmery fabrics and fuzzy knits (or is that fur? If it is, I hope it’s faux). I’d wear every last one of these looks.
So let’s talk about the [...]
Menswear for day time

These day looks are very strong in [...]
This is a man’s world
For the last couple of seasons, and especially the coming Fall 08 season, menswear has ruled as a source of inspiration for many runway looks. Elena Miro’s ready-to-wear collection is no exception. I first learned of Miro while reading Too Fat For Fashion and was instantly won by the designer’s love of masculine foundation but [...]
Runway translation: Doo.ri Spring 08
How do you get inspired? There are several resources of inspiration that I pull from regularly, but my most challenging source is the runway. Why so challenging? Because there is a lot of imagining what a runway look would look like on a fuller body, but talk about being a pain in the neck! Wouldn’t [...]
Link round-up
Fashion, style and just plain awesome links from around the net.
Some people seem to think Kenneth Cole has done something cool with his new ads on being different. Apparently, “different” still means you’re skinny and photogenic.
Jezebel decided to give us the Good, Bad and Ugly picture review of the Lauren Conrad collection debut attendees. Yikes! [...]
Donna Ricco
Somebody pinch me! Is it really a stylish line of dresses and accessories available in a multitude of sizes? I think Donna Ricco has got the right idea here: rich colors, flattering silhouettes, and attention to detail.
The site’s shop seems to be mostly sold out (restocking for Spring/Summer perhaps), but we are definitely keeping an [...]
