Burberry AW2011

I really do feel that the level of execution was on par with the Alexander McQueen-Kate Moss holograph. 

This is just an extraordinary sight.

Is this jacket to die for????

Anyone else obsessed with Balenciaga?

I'm usually not a fan of braids, but when it starts resembling food I fall in love. See what I mean?

Kudos Balenciaga. The chunky leather braids and asymmetrical trousers really hit the spot.

The first thing that caught my eye was those beautiful, sparkly shoes. After taking a closer look, I was even more in love. I just love how sinuous, and not severe, the lines are. I feel the only think I didn't like about the collection was the shoulder pads. Don't get me wrong, I love the padding of the shoulders. I grew up trying on my mom's 80s and 90s blazers that seriously accentuate the shoulders, but I just felt these shoulder pads were just too intense. It made the models appear top heavy. If it did that to models, can you imagine the damage it would do to your average Jane???? Though not practical, I do admire the structural aspect of it all. It is still quite beautiful.

I'm so head-over-heels for these two looks.

Furry arms and naked arms? I think Man Repeller would be proud.

What I really love about this collection is the lucite additions to the brogues.
