A Desperate Plea to Isabel Marant: Please Adopt Me.

Isabel Marant by elbonner featuring super skinny jeans

I want everything from Isabel Marant's collections. Whenever I come across something new from her I face-palm
 and say "Damnit Emily, why are you poor?!". This is pretty much what every cool Parisian is seen wearing and I like it because it's mostly simple pieces, but they just ooze originality and cool. Those burgundy boots just look like something Blanche Devereaux would have worn out on a hot date with a retired Navy admiral. I love that her pieces have taken on this feminine western gypsy vibe, it's great for fall and great for every situation ever, no questions. Well, that's about it for now. I have to go back to rethinking my life choices and how low I'll stoop to get those embroidered jeans. Lie back and think of Isabel Marant! (joking...)

Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2013

Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2012 by elbonner on Polyvore

I'm really digging the Sicilian grandma look that Dolce & Gabbana have come out with for Fall/Winter. Everything is so incredibly detailed and beautiful. I want that effing cape and coat! They couldn't have picked anyone better than Monica Bellucci to be the face of this campaign; she's a super hot, fabulous Italian lady who I'm sure doesn't shy away from carbs! Whenever I see their adverts in magazines it just makes me happy and I immediately start craving lasagna. I usually go for pretty simple outfits without a lot of embellishments, but every once in a while I see a crazy beautiful collection like this and I want to drape myself in gold embroidery, black lace, and flowered headbands. A big thumbs up to Dolce & Gabbana for this collection, I'll be expecting that cape under my Christmas tree! Until next time, arrivederci!

What I Would Wear to NY Fashion Week...If It Was Cold

New York Fashion Week couldn't come at an unsexier time of the year. It's still hot here on the east coast and everyone is just sick of the heat and how it ruins anything where you have to be in a crowd of hot sweaty people. You're caught between seasons which really throws a wrench into your outfit creating because you don't know which season to go for. Should you prolong that summertime feeling and look like you're going to Coachella in last seasons clothes (barf!), or go for it and risk Visible Butt Sweat in fall clothing while schmoozing with the fashion elite (I bet Anne Wintour hates people with VBS). I'm at the point in my wardrobe where I'm just ready for fall to get here already. I've poked holes in all of my thin summer shirts, I've gotten weird stains on all of my shorts, my flip-flops and sandals all have dirty feet outlines in them; it's time for new stuff. 

I think they should push NY Fashion Week back a few weeks. Just have it in October! We're all ready for new stuff and nothing makes someone who's life revolves around keeping up with the trends life suck more than wearing your summer deodorant-stained $150 t-shirt at a show reminding you you're already behind the times! So this outfit is a bit early in it's makeup, but would be great if they had Fashion Week at a reasonable time... LIKE OCTOBER!
