BAMBI/margiela for h&m booties

With the apparent doomsday approaching, this photo seems appropriate.  Actually, doomsday had nothing to do with this photo (from my perspective)...I actually took my inspiration from a Helmut Newton photo.  Jerrmaner and I went to a Helmut Newton exhibit in Paris earlier this year and as I recap on the year's highlights, I find myself revisiting that event.  

And...yes, I purchased one more piece from the Margiela for H&M collection.  I can't help it!  This collection stands lonely in our Cherry Creek mall and I can't help but take such pieces under my wing.

Today was an amazing day.  Not only did I win The Outnet #ShoeFriday contest for August (make sure to enter for September), but I've also been feeding on the constant NYFW updates.  Have you been keeping up?  It's getting super juicy!  Oh man...I am in love with the Peter Som, Rag & Bone, Katie Gallagher and Creatures of the Wind's collections (so far)....aren't you so excited for Spring 2013?  Don't you just want to fast forward through the next 6 months and cut to the chase?  I do.  I was eagerly anticipating the colder weather, but now I'm thirsting for springtime.  

In reference to the photos... I'm so inspired by Helmut Newton's photography.  I just can't get enough of his work.

PARIS/part 1

To refer to this post as "PARIS/part 1" suggests that there is a "PARIS/part 2," right? I will satisfy your curiosity now and tell you that there absolutely is a part 2 to come. Why? Well, first of all, it's Paris (a place filled with amazing architecture, food, museums and fashion) and second of all, I am not known for my brevity.

While this wasn't my first time to Paris, I still found myself very inspired by the city. Since returning home and fully digesting all that I saw, I have realized just how inspired I truly was.

P.S. The Helmut Newton exhibit at the Grand Palais was phenomenal!
