PRINTS PLEASE!!!

THOUGH THE COLLECTION ITSELF WASN'T MY CUP OF TEA ( a tad TOO vintage for me), THE PRADA F/W 2012 COLLECTION DID FEATURE SOME AWESOMELY RETRO MAKE-UP AND PATTERNS. THE WHOLE THING WAS SERVING BRADY BUNCH REALNESS. THE MODELS HAD THREE LAYERS OF COLOR IN THEIR FLAT IRONED HAIR; A COMBINATION OF BLACK, RED, ORANGE, AND/OR BLONDE.  FACES HAD LOOSE WHITE POWDER DUSTED OVER OTHER PALE SHADES OF PINK AND CORAL. EYES WERE DARKENED W/ BLACK AND THEN LINED IN YELLOW OCHRE TO MASK THE BROWS.

THE PRINTS BROUGHT TO MIND A MISH-MASH OF LATE 60's MALIBU CHIC. WE CAN'T ALL PULL OFF MULTIPLE RETRO PATTERNS, BUT IT'LL BE FUN TO TRY!

STRAWBERRY FIELDS

NOTHING MAKES ME HAPPIER THEN FUN FASHION. AND NO LABEL DOES THAT BETTER THEN MY FAV MOSCHINO! THE MASTERS OF CHEEKY ITALIAN FASHION SHOWED A PRODUCE THEMED SHOW FOR THEIR CHEAP&CHIC S/S 2012 LINE AND STARTED OFF THE CATWALK WITH THIS ADORABLE STRAWBERRY SUN DRESS. THE GREEN BOW ON THE NECKLINE IS EVEN QUILTED TO LOOK LIKE LEAFS!!!

I WANTED HER PARASOL TO LOOK SORTA LIKE A SUN, SHINING DOWN ON THE STRAWBERRY PLANT. ANY EXCUSE FOR ME TO ADD DOT PATTERNS  TO SOMETHING.

THIS BERRY DRESS WAS SHOWN IN THE WINDOW OF THE NYC MOSCHINO STORE IN A GIANT BLENDER! GENIUS! SEEING WHAT WACK-O THINGS MOSCHINO IS GOING TO PUT IN THEIR WINDOW NEXT ALWAYS BRINGS ME JOY.
