Jeremy Scott Fall 2010 RTW

If you don’t know who Jeremy Scott is, you might recognize his Flintstones collection (Spring 2010 RTW) seen on Kell on Earth. If you now know what I’m talking about, Jeremy Scott is far from normal but I appreciate all aspects of fashion and respect the creativity of all designers. This collection is far from ordinary, which I absolutely love. It features both male and female models sporting barcodes, targets, gold bricks, Christmas lights, stained glass and lots of black. In order to fully understand what I’m talking about, you can see the full collection at www.style.com.

To partially understand what I’m talking about, here are my favorite pieces from Jeremy Scott’s Fall 2010 RTW collection:

Lady Gaga anyone? That’s the first thing that comes to mind when I see this look. And I absolutely love it.

This was my absolute favorite piece from the collection. I would actually wear this and yes, I would hold my arms out all day so you can get the full effect. Some of you may recognize this look because it was recently seen on Rihanna.

The train of the dress on a hanger with the designer’s name bended into the wire? Only Jeremy Scott could pull this off. GENIUS!

This is what I meant by the Christmas lights. I’m not sure exactly what they are but I LOVE IT. I love the one-piece with the colored “Christmas lights” but then add matching slouch boots? To die for.

So, what do you think of Jeremy Scott’s collection? What are your favorite pieces? What did you think of the Flintstone’s collection? I understand it’s not for everyone but I want to know what you think!

Otis and Maclain: Hip, LA Style Defined

Otis and Maclain is a fairly new brand that has recently gotten a lot of press. Seen on many celebrities, especially The Hills stars such as Stephanie Pratt, Audrina Patridge, and Lauren Conrad, Otis and Maclain has become a staple of LA-style. The owners, Shamani Hall and Andrea Cheatham, met managing Madison, a clothing store in LA, where many items from their line can be found (check out www.madisonlosangeles.com).

Here are some of my favorite pieces from Otis and Maclain:

Kassiebelle Designs

Looking for beautiful one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces without the one-of-a-kind price? Look no further because I have the answer! Kassiebelle jewelry is made by one of the most fabulous people I know in Chicago, Gerri Cicchinelli. She really has an eye for jewelry and I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve never seen a piece of hers I did not like.

Some of the stones used in these amazing pieces of jewelry include: amethyst, jade, aquamarine, turquoise, coral, crystal quartz, pearls, onyx, etc. The best part is, you can get anything custom made! If there’s a specific stone you love, it can be worked into a gorgeous statement necklace or bracelet. If there’s a piece of jewelry you see that isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, it can be reworked into whatever you’d like!

Here is a little taste of some great pieces from Kassiebelle, which includes a variety of pieces to satisfy jewelry-lovers of all ages:

——————————————-

Here’s one of the newest designs by Kassiebelle–the wrap bracelet! I especially love this one because…it was custom made for me 🙂

How gorgeous are they? I’ve seen pieces at Barneys using the same stones that start at $1,000 (and can get even more pricey). Kassiebelle designs are very reasonably priced, without compromising quality and style. The prices vary based on the stone and the style of the piece. Here’s a general price range for the jewelry:

Bracelets: $25-$100

necklaces: $50 and up

earrings: $25-$100

For all order inquiries, please contact Gerri Cicchinelli at kassiebelle1@gmail.com

IMPORTANT NEWS: Once I reach 1,000 followers on Twitter, Gerri from Kassiebelle designs has kindly donated a wrap bracelet to be given away to one lucky follower of mine chosen at random. Follow me on Twitter!
