Now that summer is officially over its time to step into fall. What better way to do that than in something inspired and daring. This post is meant to provide some material for you ladies to work with. It comprises my favourite looks from the Fall 2011 Collections of some of my favourite designers. It also lists prominent trends for the season below the images. Enjoy my lovelies.
Prada
suit me
As part of the Japanese Business Law class I was taking in Tokyo this summer, we got to visit their patent office and Supreme Court. I welcomed the opportunity to get out of the classroom but the intense heat and humidity of Tokyo summers was making it a little difficult to enjoy wearing business attire. My clerkship in Seoul presented the same challenge of having to dress for the office in the most unconducive weather conditions. I quickly simplified my looks to a light blouse over a silk camisole and a pencil skirt. A sacrifice of one layer needed to be made in the interest of preserving my sanity

tulip prada
I was lucky to have gotten away from studying last week for a night of ballet in San Francisco. George Balanchine’s Coppelia was a beautiful show – its lightheartedness a refreshing departure from the drama and tragedy of opera I so willingly subject myself to. I wore my new tulip Prada dress for this occasion. In a matter of one night we became pretty acquainted: first in the rain, then on the train, and finally at the ballet.
couture adventures of 2010
I had some extra time on my hands today so I decided to put together this special “adventures of 2010″ post. Basically, I compiled some of the couture I added to my collection this past year and juxtaposed my looks against the pieces in their element – the runway. As a way of contextualizing some of what you’re seeing, I also included the location of where the item was worn. This whole endeavour was pretty time consuming so I hope you like it.
funhouse mirrors
I spent the entire day running errands yesterday and this is the casual little outfit I did it in. I’ll be flying out around 4 and there is still more packing to be done. The posts are scheduled to publish while I’m gone so check back regularly because more looks are on their way. Have an amazing couple of weeks everyone. I will drink a mohito for every one of you.
