Ralph nailed it again

I love this look for Fall.  It's currently the colour scheme in my home so I was naturally drawn to it anyway.  With freezing cold temperatures outside being warm and cozy snuggled up in knits and with our fur throws (fake - no nasty e-mails please) and I'm ready for this look.

I've been really busy lately, clearing out the spare room, doing a year's worth of filing (I'm ready for tax season), sorted through tons of clothes and purged out a lot of stuff.  This is one of "pockets of resistance" rooms where when we don't know what to do with something it ends up there.  There are a few in my house and this year I've promised myself to really tackle these and get more organized.  So still pretty much offline, but had to post these images when I saw the new collection.  Just love his stuff.

Spanish Spring with Ralph Lauren

I've never been to Spain although it is on my someday list.  There were a few looks that caught my eye and I would be remiss if I didn't showcase my favourites. 

 

Speaking of Ralph - Fall 2012

The Fall 2012 collection was given its debut on yesterday.  I would be remiss if I didn't showcase some of my favourites.

The beginning of the show focused on men's wear styles for woman.  Complete with the latest Downtown Abbey craze.  This didn't seem to be a big hit according to the reviews; however the second portion of the show focused on black and gold evening attire with hits of bright or deep colours and art deco details.  The following are my favourites.  Enjoy.

One of my Favourites

Looking at the Modern Racer Home Collection images for some reason reminds me of one of my favourite Ralph Collections – Fall 2005...

All images Zimbio – enjoy.

It's in the Details

This is my favourite part about the Ralph Lauren Collection shows.  When they post the shots to the website, they include detail shots.  I love the overall look at a show, but its the details that I love the most.  Being able to see the small things up close - that's when you see the amount of work that goes into these items and appreciate the inception. 

The dress this was paired with didn't really do much for me, but then I saw the shoes and fell in love.

I love this soft pastel scarf for Spring.

I love the pinstripe and polka dot vest.

Love this pretty little evening clutch.

Pretty in Pink.

I love the mother of pearl detail along the clasp.  Not to mention the beading detail on the dress.

What can I say, I love everything about this evening clutch.

I loved this dress.

This scarf would dress up anything.  The sheen on the suit is lovely too.

The front of the dress is simple and classic, but the back is wow.

Love the back on this dress as well.

Simple, elegant, classic. 

Ralph Lauren Spring 2012 Collection

Well it's that time again.  It's time to start thinking of another change of season - spring of course.  Let's just skip this whole fall winter thing and go right to spring.  I need sunny weather, some garden parties and a few elegant cocktail parties for these outfits.  Well maybe I'll just go to Palm Beach like the rest of the snowbirds. 

Ralph Lauren showed his new Spring 2012 Collection today and I love it.  The Great Gatsby was the theme and there were lots of garden party dresses, pastels, shimmery gowns, art deco beading and ostrich feathers.  Here are a few of my favourites.  There's quite a few so sit back and relax and enjoy.
