John Galliano has shared with us his genius and showmanship in is Fall 2009 Couture Collection for Christian Dior. In this somewhat depressing economic time, Galliano makes it clear that fashion can be extravagant and reminiscent of times before. He focuses on the staples that have made Dior legendary such as the bar jacket. His play with ultra structured pieces, uber feminine couture undergarments, and dramatic hats are flawless on the runway. I'm in love. The look comes together with heavy makeup reminiscent the 80's. A full face is so in! Who says a bold lip and a heavy eye aren't allowed?!? Gotta love John Galliano and Christian Dior Fall Couture. Here are some of my favorite stills from the show:

I love Forever 21! They are the perfect store to update your look without breaking the bank. The trick with stores of this nature is this nature is to stick to the dark and neutral colors (blacks, whites, browns, grays) because these the color of these items give a more expensive look to lower-end fabrics and construction. They have also started, Love 21, the contemporary line that has classic silhouettes and a beautiful, muted color palette. Here are some of my favorite looks:
The fall color pallet for MAC is BLACK, BLACK, and MORE BLACK!! Thanks to the lovely Glamazons Blog I got a sneak peak of the goth yet kinda fierce looks for the fall and I must say I absolutely love it! The last look is from the 2009 Diesel Show! Take a look:
These colors hit US MAC Stores and maccosmetics.com on September 24, 2009 and International October 2009!! I can't wait!
Keo. It's a Brand Name. I'm living a dream. I never want to wake up. Life is a beautiful struggle, and I love it. By eliminating the madness I have found sanity. Change is scary but necessary, so I'm evolving. Slowly but surly, I'm evolving. I'm Fierce. Fashion and changing the world are my passions, and I will conquer them both, together, somehow. keo is the name of my haute couture line that I will have someday. Life is the ultimate teacher and I have learned the only way to be happy is to forgive. Forgive others. Forgive yourself. I have been accused of being brutally honest, but its only because I care. Being over-the-top and outrageous are just apart of who I am. Kimora Lee Simmons is my idol. She, Ming, and Aoki are amazing. Jay-Z is a genius. If I could only listen to him for the rest of my life, I would be honored. Give me a chance, I promise I'll surprise you. I'm much more than meets eye. I might be a lot of things, but I'm mostly me. I plan on chasing my dreams where ever they may lead but I will never forget where I came from. True to one's self: realer words have never been spoken. I'm a legend (in the making), and I just hope the world is ready...
