Yeah yeah yeah I know I'm about 6 months behind on posting about the Fall ready to wear. Call me crazy, but I want to think about spring clothes when spring is approaching and fall clothes when fall is approaching!

For today, we'll admire a few coats.

all Burberry Prorsum

Chanel. I believe the puffs are faux fur.

Balmain's delicious brocade

Marc Jacobs' sweet vintage

So...the Oscars...

Robert Downey Jr. had a certain panache that only he could pull off * Despite her greatest efforts, Kristen Stewart couldn't repress her smiles * Zac Efron needed those Axe girls to jump him and wash his hair * Clooney was extra pissy (demonstration of excellent acting skills?) at the terrific hosts * The opening musical display was rather uninspiring - though granted, nothing can really live up to Hugh Jackman * And Kathryn Bigelow totally whipped her ex (OHHHH burrrrn)

Miley needs better posture, as her painfully hunched shoulders were completely distracting from her gown, which I think I liked, but I'm just not sure because I couldn't tear my gaze away from that repulsive stance she was forcing herself into!

I actually really enjoyed Diane Kruger's Chanel gown, contrary to the general consensus. I saw Karlie Kloss wearing it several months ago somewhere on this endless Web and snagged the picture. I think it's very soft and delicate - which to me is the appropriate theme for the Oscars- but in an unconventional way. And I guess all that fluff could potentially be rather unflattering, but not on Miss Kruger.

Meryl Streep looked fabulous in her white gown, but I didn't realize that it was made by a previous Project Runway participant, Chris March. He was one of the absolutely ridiculous personalities on the show. It's so great to see that that show really does give designers a foot up in tha bizzzz.

Rachel McAdams was absolutely heavenly. She's an actress who everyone gushes over constantly, but I've never really been as enthusiastic. Her appearance at the Oscars changed that. Just everything about her was so....clean...maybe "fresh" is a better term.

As I was looking through the Spring couture shows( to pick out my would-be Oscar ensamble, of course) I found that McAdams' was an Elie Saab creation. I love that they are romantic, soft, beautiful, delicate, etc., which I believe an Oscar gown should be.

My Oscar rips were pretty mild, but for some nasty go here. Also the source of most of these pictures.

Long time no post...

On Sunday I was enjoying a delicious banana-strawberry smoothie and listening Lily Allen, thinking how wonderfully they go together. Apparently, Karl Lagerfeld also thinks that Miss Allen is always a nice component, and had her perform at Chanel's Spring RTW show. In which she came up from the floor. It was a great big show, as any fashion blog'll tell ya (show...and tell...oh my cleverness is killing me), but to me, the clogs were most memorable. They made me think of middle school when I thought Coach was the swankiest thing around, and I was in the store, staring at the most ridiculous pair of shoes I had ever seen. Wellllll, they're back!

I wonder how long they'll stick around for...and if Jane from Sea of Shoes is interested in getting a pair.
