Ralph Lauren Spring 2013

Oh, how I love thee, let me count the ways! Seriously, one day I shall have enough money to buy one of these beauties, but until then I will lust from afar and gain inspiration.

For my day look, how about a flirty skirt in Ultrasuede, red and blue. YES PLEASE!

This drop waist makes me think of Mrs. Isis

You have to see this move to appreciate it!

I would wear this outfit. The whole thing. In fact, I've been looking desperately for a crochet skirt.

He even gave us some maxi stripes, just for miss Oona. I'll take the jacket, she can have the dress.

SO MUCH DRAMA! In this look... again, I'll take the whole thing, and I don't even like white on me.

Speaking of drama, how about this? Red and Black together, my two favorite things!

I don't know about you, but I'm in love.

Heads Up Fashion

You know, I've read a few things about Diane von Furstenberg lately that make me like her as a person. And I usually like at least one or two of her pieces, but the spring line pushed my nerd button because she featured none other than Google Glass, the heads up display glasses right out of science fiction.

Really, it was pure ingeniousness on her part.  Forbes has a great article on the collaboration that you can read in full here. But the most exciting part is this:

Apparently she and Brin met at a conference this summer and figured they should push fashion and tech further into the future. Indeed, DVF clothing is strongly feminine, always refined, and the models who wore the glasses in pink and white versions pulled it off with aplomb. (Some wore glasses that recorded the whole show, and the footage will be made into a short film available at www.google.com+DVF on Thursday.)

You can watch the show from the model's perspective. HOW FREAKIN' COOL IS THAT??
