Loving...




I'm so crazy over Balmain right now!!! Seriously being that I'm forever obsessed with fashion mags. I feel like this designer is eeeeverywhere! I love all the clothes from the trendy rhinestone sandals that can pretty much be seen on any celebrity's feet to the dresses/ gowns to the jeans and tops and of course the insane "royalty" jacket. That's what I like to refer to them as because they look like they are made for a king or queen (and at over $12,000 a pop) that's of course why the elite such as Kate Moss, and Beyonce have been rocking them hardcore. The hardware on the jackets and vests have a rock n roll edge but still maintain that feminine girly quality that I love so much. The gowns are surreal I mean it goes from extreme to the next..boho chic...(last pic above), + simple and sexy (2nd from the top) The elaborate colors and prints are also mesmerising. ;) I also figured out that this definitely adds to my love for Zara as mentioned in a previous post. Most of the Zara pieces look semi-inspired by this flamboyant designer and I simply can't wait to get my hands on a similar style jacket. I always have a designer of the moment and it was previously Rodarte, but right now Balmain is taking over and as my favorite funny gal Chelsea Handler would say...I like it. I like it -- a lot.
