A wow at Elie Saab

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

Simple, Clean, Structured were I think the words running through Elie Saab's mind this season. For a few shows now, Saab has been trying to show the world that he is more than a one-trick pony and that is day-wear holds its own next to his couture (red carpet -wear). I do now need more convincing as of right this second. This minimalist, color palette-strict collection was just amazing. I could picture wearing every single one of these looks. Now Saab did not strip down totally, he did leave elements of himself to remind us of his unique twist (think sequins, peplum).

This collection now holds one of my favorite looks this pre-fall season, a color-blocked floor length number above. I CANNOT wait to see what comes down his runway at fashion week!

Paul Smith Menswear

Heavy tailoring, dark, somber color palette and skinny. This was the gist of the Paul Smith fall 2012 menswear. The little peak of surprise? The appearance of some not so common fabrics and knits. My favorite? The flashes of neon, which I would have actually welcomed more of. This collection although functional was not exactly full of Paul Smith spirit. There was a sense of generic, nothing too risky. That said though there are many definite wearable pieces in here. 

One Teaspoon of Boutique Fashion

I love boutique shopping, they always have the most unique brands and items. I find myself always going through phases of obsession with certain boutique brands. The current object of my affection: One Teaspoon. Its attitude? The label dubs itself the fantastically rebellious, sex Infused, old school rock and roll glamour. It's great to add some statement pieces to your wardrobe! Take a look at a few shots from their lookbook:

Not too worry you wont have to go scouring the boutiques to find this gem. It is sold online on their website, shopstyle and asos. Click here to take a look at the website.
