30. Vogue Magazine March 2006

Ahhh I love YSL. And I love Versailles. This takes me there.

Kate Spade advertising is pretty great. Partners & Spade did all the re-working of the Kate Spade brand and they did good.

Chloe has the most beautiful clothes. Swoon!

This Alberta Ferretti ad makes me so jealous. I love that dress and I love the desert.

Nicolas Ghesquiere is the best for Balenciaga... love him!

Rosson Crow is so talented for a young woman. This week one of my friends, who is an artist, was asking me about my art... and I had to admit that everything I do is hard work and a major struggle. Way to go Rosson.

Things have changed drastically in the magazine industry since 2006. This issue was filled with 20+ pages of fashion spreads in exotic places. These days things are so blah...

Irving Penn is such a talented photographer.

This issue also had a wedding spread! I love those! They just don't do it anymore. There's no money. Dita Von Teese and Marilyn Manson tied the knot in 2005... and it unraveled a year later.

29. Vogue March 2008

Let me first say, I'm sorry for being so long winded with this post. I have extremely fond memories of all of the clothing in the spring 2008 collections- I saw them in Colette, Bon Marche, and Galleries Lafayette while I was studying abroad the summer of 2008. It was the first time I was in the presence of designer clothing. I was able to touch them and feel them and just meet them in person. I also believe that 2008 was kind of the last time that designers were really making clothes that were inspiring and fun and art-like. The economy has been rough on everyone. Designers, retailers, customers. Designers are having to design collections that customers won't buy. Hopefully we'll see a change in this attitude sometime soon. I've missed clothing with personality and life.

This Dolce & Gabbana is so fun. I remember visiting D&G while in Paris and everything was amazing.

This Prada collection was so beautiful with Asian illustrations. Check out those amazing shoes!

I hate to feature two for MK... but these are stunning. I love the small prints.

Chanel

This St. John frock is beautiful.

This dress by Alberta Ferretti is so timeless and history inspired. I want it.

You remember this Hermes campaign with the elephants wearing makeup? I'm surprised they weren't ranked over the coals like Banksy was.

Oh Tom Ford. You are so naughty.

Karen Elsen & Casey Affleck.

Balenciaga. OMG. Those boots.

Bill Blass. I would wear this dress everywhere.

J'Adore Colour

bmw art cars. balenciaga spring 2008. they go together nicely.

Andy Warhol

The fourth artist to have the opportunity to put his art on a BMW, he was the first to hand paint his car. It took Andy a mere 23 minutes to paint it.

Robert Rauschenberg

Love the hood.
