Pre-Fall 2009

So tonight is my first night in my apartment again, which means classes start on Tuesday (yay.)  But I'm having a quite a relaxing evening sitting on my ass on the couch watching the boyfriend play one of those shoot-em-up games on Xbox, drinking coffee even though it is entirely too late, and relishing in the fact that I am away from "home" once again.  I put "home" in quotations, because after living on my own for a semester, coming back to my parent's house for winter break really just feels like I'm visiting.

So anyway, back to collections.  Here are some standouts stolen from Women's Wear Daily:

The Balenciaga collection is still my favorite, even with the "gorilla arms."  These grey pants are amazing, and I love the neutral, grey and black color palette.


Gorgeous, GORGEOUS dress by Christian Lacroix.  'Nuff said!




The Dior collection was inspired by Hitchcock's "icy heroines" and Helmut Newton's "tough-chic glamazons."  In other words, both strong and feminine.




I take that back about Balenciaga being my favorite collection thus far, because Proenza Schouler is DEFINITELY my favorite.  I cannot wait to see more!  Actually... I don't know really, I'm having a hard time deciding!  What do you guys think?
