Sincere Apologies

It has been more than a month since I last posted! I have some valid excuses....... okay maybe they're not very good... all I can say is that I have been extremely busy, and it's almost summer! I have made a promise to myself, that I will religiously blog at least twice a week. No laziness!
soaking up sun, long hours of blissful nothingness, crop tees, strappy sandals, sunglasses.... etc summer is calling my name!!!

Anyway, on a summer related topic, the resort collections are being released. Yesterday, Dior presented their Resort '10 collection in Shanghai. The collection was a vintage Barbie's dream come true, and I say this in the best way possible! The clothes were all in pastel and girly colors; the materials were feminine and delicate. AND there was beaucoup de sheer material, which added to the more mature side of the collection. Of course there was the glamorous 50's feel to the collection... The only complain I have with this collection is that I'm starting to feel as if each season of Dior is starting to look more and more the same.... It would be interesting to see a whole new twist in the Spring '11 collection! (wow i'm already anticipating the next season!)

Say a "hello" to the Barbie Girls...

That's all for now! x

P.S. I am obsessed with these colors!

Strutting forward to fame, Karlie Kloss

Models have become more and more recognized as well as appreciated in the world of fashion. There are important traits to being a model such as being tall as well as attractive, but it's also a much more demanding job than most people think. It's difficult to become established in the industry as it is constantly refreshing and changing, and as time goes on, people come and go. Even with those who are established, the precarious balance can suddenly change and you can easily plummet. In terms of modeling, the safest are those who are practically celebrities such as Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell. But then there are those few models who may not be celebrities but have made a name for themselves and are recognized to be the "it" models.

When asked to think of an established and largely popular model, the first person who comes to mind is Karlie Kloss. Karlie Kloss has become a well known model and her face is found everywhere nowadays. Her career is one that any model would be happy to follow in the footsteps of. She is currently the face of Dior and Hermes. Last year, in 2009 Karlie was in countless Vogue spreads. This fall season she has already opened the show for Dior as well as Karl Lagerfeld. Not to mention that she is the face of Lola perfume, Marc by Marc Jacobs. She has become an established figure and model in the world of fashion.
