Don't worry guys, we're still here. It's been a hectic week or so, with lots of moving (me), birthdays (Amanda's!) and super duper heat (thanks NYC for skipping straight from winter to summer), but we're back!
I'm really into green roofs, green walls and really.. green anything. So when I saw pictures of a living painting depicting Van Gogh's painting, A Wheatfield with Cypresses, I was pretty amazed. The picture was created by ANS Group Europe, a company that designs green walls in shopping centres, parks and hotels all around England. They used 25 species of plants and over 8,000 plants in total. The plants were arranged according to a numbered drawing and grown vertically before being installed outside the National Gallery in London.
It will be really interesting to watch how the plants grow and bloom between now and October 2011, when the wall is set to be taken down. How cool!

London Fashion Week Favs
Sooo to start off, sorry it has taken me WEEKS to finally post my Spring RTW favourites from London. A lot of the collections had really innovative prints and cuts, which I was really into. As much as I appreciate simple silhouettes and colour palettes, I was glad the designers decided to go a little crazy. Prints are a girl's best friend, everyone can find a print or pattern that makes them look amazing. I, for one, am obsessed with them all.
Once I have time to catch up on all of my school work, I will definitely share my Paris favourites.. because there are a LOT of them. Happy monday!
My number one absolute favourite collection from LFW would definitely have to be Erdem. I basically want every single piece. Erdem seems to know exactly what I like and succeeds at putting it all into one look that I'm almost tempted to steal off the model. Here's the (strictly edited) list of some of my favourites:

Emilio de la Morena also had a super bold collection, with crazy silhouettes and fun mixtures of pink, yellow and black. The look below reminded me of a weird painting.

House of Holland's collection had printsprintsprints everywhere! From the banana leaves to the stars to the metallics to the fringe, I thought all of the looks were really fun and some were even quite wearable. I love the looks below, and I would absolutely wear them off the runway. Perhaps minus the fuzzy earrings, although they'd definitely spark a conversation.

London Fashion Week would of course be incomplete without a mention of Matthew Williamson. His collection mixed quite a neutral colour palette with some interesting prints and some pops of yellow and royal blue. I'm a huge fan of the addition peacock feathers. Gimme!
