In Exchange for Vacation

Rachel Zoe

According to tough-as-nails The New York Times fashion critic, Cathy Horyn, viewing resort wear collections is "practically like being on vacation." If  that's true, I plan on religiously devoting myself to regular viewing  sessions for each and every collection every year for the rest of my life. 


Yves went nautical with anchors and all (kinda cliche?), but served up an awesome dose of 50's flare. Rachel Zoe knocked it out of the bananas bunch with her assortment of glamorous revival pieces. Chanel was very "black and white," yet once again showcased ethereal frocks for princesses at heart. 


And, even though I love him as a man, I don't relate well to Michael Kors as a designer. His looks often border on "Safari Barbie." However, this year, his resort wear appeared young and hip, welcoming neons into the picture. OK, OK, it's a little Bond meets Austin Powers, but you gotta love his chutzpah.

Diane Kruger Does Paris

So I promise something food related will make it back to my blog A.S.A.P., but I just had to share the beautiful Diane Kruger's wardrobe from Paris Fashion Week (AKA "fash-land" as Grazia Daily puts it...love that term) with you all.

She is simply the most marvelous female, exuding class and valid style. Her delicate features make her look as if she is a porcelain doll dressed in couture. No wonder Karl loves her so much.

Chanel is her thing, but she certainly looks amazing in everything else she puts on, flawlessly pulling off all colors--everything from nude to black. She's another select fashion icon to add to my list.
