Yesterday began with a fantastic drive and hike up to Mt. Mitchel, one of our state's greatest features. Decked in our coolest, most hiking appropriate (but not in the eyes of anyone except the fashion conscience), we pioneered to the peak. High fashion, at high altitudes. 
We found out the fun way just how interesting animal print mumuus can make any given situation. 
The besties and I decided it was high time to take an evening to have some pointless, but ever so fullfilling fun. Aimless driving, chain smoking, and sippin' sweet tea. Summer in the mountains. Does it get any better?
I suppose the first run of Madonna's PR stint with Louis Vuitton proved to be quite successful, seeing now that the Queen of Pop is returning to be the face for Louis Vuitton's 2009/2010 collections. I, fortunately, got to see the first round of Madge campaign photos all over billboards in downtown Los Angeles, and it looks as though these are going to be just as enticing. Way to go girl!
Ok. Lanvin, as some people know, is one of my absolute top three labels in women's clothing. To me, it just doesn't get much better. So for men's wear, it's no surprise that I felt that love flow equally thru my veins when I seen Alber t Elbaz's new showing. The collection is incredibly street smart; its pieces can be worn during day , yet with the right accessory- in this case, a pocket square or plaid tie, can be ushered into evening with the snap of a button or two. Even though the collection was a bit fem for men's wear, especially the high waisted pleated silk-yes, silk- pants, it still proved to be a fantastical (in the words of Lady Gaga), innovative, loose feeling fashion forward line of apparel. The only big thing I wasn't particularly a fan of was the over usage of silk-drawn sun visors. I didn't like them when Vuitton done them several years back, and I don't like them now. After all, why would anyone want to hide their face when they're wearing such fantastic clothes?
