2011 Fall Shoes

Oh, so many gorgeous shoes! If I had any use for fancy shoes, could wear them, and most importantly, could afford them, these are some pairs I'd add to my collection. The Valentino Couture Platform Bow Pump and the two short booties would be the most versatile, I think.

Alexander McQueen Fall 2011

Designer Alexander McQueen may no longer be with us, but his spirit lives in through Sarah Burton, the firm's current designer. This season, her theme was "the Ice Queen and her court" which borrowed heavily from the "heritage silhouettes" that McQueen himself was fond of using.

A little bit of princess plus a little bit of bondage makes for quite a fab collection.

London 2011 Fall Fashion Week - Basso & Brooke

Let's forget the ugliness of recent days and look to the gorgeous digital prints of Brazilian/British designers Basso & Brooke, shall we? The clothes are fairly minimalist, and the prints say it all. My favorites are the landscape-like ones that remind me of close-ups of the Grand Canyon, or tree bark.

NY Fall 2011 Fashion Week - Carolina Herrera

I wish more women could afford to wear Carolina Herrera, then more women would look effortlessly elegant. I love the muted colors, the shapes, the textures of this collection.

NY Fall 2011 Fashion Week - Matthew Williamson

Matthew Williamson is one of my favorite designers, and I'm always excited to see how he's worked color and pattern into his latest collection. For some reason, this collection is reminding me of Mondo Guerra. Is it me, or do you see it too?
