Taking it All In

Happy Monday Peeps!

August is upon us, only 5 more months until 2015 is over! So cray!  I feel like 2015 just began! It has been a great 2015 so far: scored my first Vogue placement in April, had a rad vacation, got a few personal projects off the ground, challenging myself taking on new projects outside of my arena, and completed my first year of grad school.

Yesterday I was invited to my lovely friend Karina’s home; Karina is such a talented knitwear designer and illustrator. It was such a privilege working with her and I always admired how patient and kind she is.  Karina showed me her rad as f*c@k rooftop, so beautiful!! I am a sucker for an amazing view: rooftop, water, garden you name it. 

Looking out into the city, I really took in where I am in my life right now; it’s a great feeling to not feel so pressured and to really give yourself that pat on the back. Haha, great job Kos!

I had to take in a few shots, it is PATHETIC I have not done an outfit post since my birthday in May lol. This dress is one of my personal favs that I purchased at a trade show close to 5 years ago; the chevron multi colored design makes the dress so versatile.  The dress can be pair with flats or pumps.  The blue pumps I’m wearing, was one of those once in a lifetime finds at Beacons Closet.  So glad I found them before someone else snatched them up. It is downright shameful for the lack of outfit posts haha, I am going to do better, I promise. Enjoy!

Yves Saint Laurent returns to Couture!

Major news for the fashion industry: Yves Saint Laurent is returning to couture. Repeat this is MAJOR! 

Yves Saint Laurent, hasn't made a couture collection since YSL himself produced his 200th and final show in 2002.  The French fashion house confirmed that it will start to produce couture pieces, under the direction of current creative director, Hedi Slimane. How exciting is this, there will be no show either. I love a brand that is so cool they don't need a show. It shows they are more devoted to investing the time to design and construction then a show.  I mean basically design and construction is what couture is all about in the first place. Well played!

To celebrate I found the best YSL moments to share with you lovely people, I can't wait to see who will be wearing the couture line:

It's nice to see a fashion brand actually be devoted to the art of it all! Bravo!
