SPRING ALERT: PASTEL MAKES A COMEBACK!

It seems  pastels are making a 

COMEBACK!

... which is quite exciting for a child of the 90's, such as myself. 

I had pastels everywhere back then, and in every shade! 

I had actually forgotten about pastels, but that is why I love fashion. 

It reminds of places I have been, how I have evolved,

 and inspires me with a constant influx of new ideas.

I'm a sucker for tailoring, but this one is
extra special because it is pastel pink!

pastels have invaded the beauty industry TOO!

Fashion Gone Rogue  is one of my favorite fashion sites and they recently featured a post with exclusive photos from Vogue Japan's February issue...

Not to worry, I have collected a piece of pastel here and there along 

my daily stumbling to keep me close to my colorful roots.

CAPITOL : PART II

After visually taking in practically everything Capitol had to offer on their first floor, I made my way up to the main event...

IRENE NEUWIRTH - TRUNK SHOW

 Irene Neuwirth regularly has trunk shows at Capitol. She is a long time friend of Capitol's owner, Laura Vinroot Poole. Her exclusive collections are featured in Vogue and worn by the most stylish celebrities, such as Reese Witherspoon and Charlize Theron.  

Her designs are impeccable, her colors are invigorating and her gems are raw. 

She gets inspiration from the ocean, which is easily found throughout the fluidity of all of her collections.

A few of my favorites are featured below-
