from the runway to the street

every once in a while i get in a funk where i don't feel particularly stylish or inspired and thus the reason for my absence on the blog. one of the reasons why i get excited about fashion week is not because of the beautiful new clothes that come flying down the runway but because of the street style photos that pop up with more frequency and convey a sense of real fashion that anyone can relate to. when i look at these types of photos, i start to think about the items in my closet and how i can work them into a new fresh outfit. when i look at pictures of clothes on the runway, i think of how much i'm going to spend for the next season. it's interesting to look at an outfit on a model in comparison with somewhat of a remixed version of that outfit on someone who may or may not be immersed in the fashion world.

loving gucci right now

i've been completely useless and haven't really done many spring 2011 fashion week posts lately but one show that has stuck in my mind was gucci in milan. i am totally loving the seventies vibe it has going on and although i don't wear a ton of color, i'd love to get out of my comfort zone this year and try something new.
