odds and ends

i can’t say i’ve been particularly excited by the resort shows.  and i feel like i want to be excited by something right now, but they’re just not doing it for me.  i know christopher kane is the talk of the shows, but i just can’t get on board in general with the photo print thing.  i associate it with contempo casuals items from the early nineties for some reason…  the only line that i like as a whole is burberry.  it’s nothing groundbreaking, but there is some great detailing, nice lines, and a muted color palette that works for me.  negative points though, for the odd socks and sandals situation…

there are a few looks from other shows that got my attention.  i can never quite figure out what my opinion is of bottega venata, but i do seriously love the look on the left.  the skinny jean, slouchy t-shirt, leather jacket thing is pretty easy to do, but i think the proportions of everything here are pretty much perfect.  and i do think the platform-y sandal thing is a bit unusual with the look, but works.  center is really the only look that particularly stood out for me from chanel, which is sad.  but i do think it’s a pretty great dress, and amazing necklace.  and finally, this simple, but graphically cool look from phoebe philo’s debut for celine.
