Let's Talk Dolce & Gabbana

Hi my fashionistas and fashionistos. I hope you all are well. So...yes. I'm been very slack with postings lately, but I've been very busy with school and midterms. It's been garnering all of my attention and with the late, coffee filled nights, I've neglected my blogs. Fortunately, spring break starts this Friday! There will be lots and lots of Sex & The City along with random postings from The Devil Wears Prada (my fav movie ever!) and of course more fashion.

Now that that's taken care of, let's talk Dolce & Gabbana. To begin with, I just want to say that I've been a fan of D&G for many years now. I have their sunglasses and reading glasses (I'm obviously a D&G fanatic...not). I feel like Dolce & Gabbana has garnered a lot of attention through TV and music as well. I'm positive I've heard name drops several times. Okay, so for my review.

The first word that came to mind was ethereal. I think it sums it up perfectly. It made me think of times during the Vatican, a time of kings and queens whose robes would be so perfectly created and tailored to showcase the artisanship of time. It was sheer elegance. I loved that it had a mosaic feel to it. There was also the religious influence there through the Catholic church. And this was not the only time we've seen religious influences...remember the men's f/w 2013 Givenchy collection? Exactly. But I must say, even amid the elegance of this collection, there was still a modern feel to it. The clothes weren't too over the top to the point where they were not wearable. And there were so many textures and patterns as well. You had lace! You had tweed! You had plaid! You had intricate design! It was just brilliant. Also, can I just mention the red moment? Can I just say that it was major? Yes? Okay. It was MAJOR. Literally, i was like, "O.M.G. goooorgeous!" Red is such a beautiful and passionate color and I think the way that it was worked into the collection was done so, perfectly.

I also loved the bold lip and the accessary items. The crowns and earrings really set the collection, really adding to the whole king, queen, Vatican feel to it. I liked how they also had different fits. Some being short and loose, and others being long and fitted. Or, you had shorts. Shorts are always nice.

Overall, I was very impressed with this collection and I thought that Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana did an amazing job. Well, that's all for now. Until next time, stay fashionable! Xx

Dean, Dan, and Dsquared²

Hola mis amigos! I hope you all are well. Yes? Awesome! Okay, so I'm just going to jump right into the review.

Dean. Dan. Well done. Well done. For those of us who watched the show (if you didn't, it'll be linked below so no worries), you know who amazingly brilliant this show was. Inspired by the 1940s and the glamorous girl meeting the masculine man, the collection literally blew me away. First off, there were suits. And bow ties. And fur. And hats. And jewelry. As you can "see", I'm excited. Lol. This collection reminded me of those black and white movies that involved some lady singing in a piano, in a bar. It had that old Hollywood glam to it, which wasn't exaggerated, but done just right.

The suits were what impressed me the most, because while it had a masculine feel, it still had a feminine side to it. Maybe because one of the models was Cara Delevingne and maybe because I absolutely love her. Maybe, I'm just saying. No, but overall, the suits worked perfectly, some being tailored and others given a more slouchy feel. They also incorporated vests as well, which I thought added to the vibe.

Something else that I loved were the gowns. They were floor length, with long trains, that everyone tripped on...*take a moment* Okay, moving on. The gloves were also gorgeous! Again, they gave to the feel of the collection, with simple, very easily complementary colors that added just the right amount of pop.

I would now like to point out the jewelry. They pieces were intricate and didn't exaggerate the look at all. The hats also did the same thing for me. They, again, contributed to the feel of the collection in the right way. Sometimes, I feel like a certain look isn't appreciated because of accessary pieces but this was not the case. Oh, and let's not forget the socks.

So, Dean and Dan, you continue to build and grow. And I love it! Everything just seemed to be right. The music, the atmosphere, the models, the walk, the looks, everything. It just flowed. And yes, there were a few stumbles here and there. I honestly don't know why people freak out over those types of things. People trip...models are people...just saying. Anyway, that's a different conversation. Alas, my love for Dsquared²  continues on.


What do you guys think? Did you like the collection? Leave comments or tweet me and let me know. Also, if
