YOU'RE INVITED

One of life's joys must be receiving a personalized invitation to a runway show or special presentation from a major design house. These are a few I found online which show how creative and beautiful they can be. Some classic, some witty, all keepsakes.

TOM FORD S/S 2011 SHOW

Tom Ford can do no wrong in my books. His Spring 2011 collection was beyond and the way he showed it proves he's a creative genius with taste. I think an intimate setting done in an old school, couture salon environment is so civilized and chic! Don't get me wrong, I love a good runway show but sometimes you need less theatrics and more personality. His all star cast is a true diverse mix of beauty and proves style is ageless.

VALENTINO FALL RTW 2011

Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli have been doing a fantastic job over at Valentino and the Fall presentation proved that. I think they've successfully managed to carry on the esthetic but with an updated, youthful take. I think it's very appealing to a new demographic that wants the elegance and image but is obviously very different from the original Valentino woman. This collection is so beautiful and feminine. Lovely.

FASHION VICTIM

Well this always happens so I shouldn't be suprised but I have total mixed feelings on the upcoming fur trend for Fall. I'm a HUGE animal lover so I have a hard time dealing, but the stupid thing is I actually love the look. Fur is beautiful when it's real and great when it's faux. I feel like such a hypocrite! Not that I'm one of those PETA freaks (no offense if you are): I wear leather and eat meat fairly regularly but would never dump paint on someone. I saw a girl yesterday wearing an amazing fur coat, I'm pretty sure it was faux and I found myself desperately wanting one....aaaargh.

Look at this gorgeous fox! This was taken from our deer cam at our country house back east. We have some amazing shots of pheasants, black bears, racooons, coyotes, and the cutest deer ever. I would never want to see any of our "pets" harmed or killed. Sometimes I hate fashion.
