Resort 2013 = Gucci

Goth girls beware, Gucci has come to share your turf. With the wild vines and flowers blooming on them, they are I will admit much more optimistic than any goth I've ever met. However, the Pamela Love styled jewelry and poses of these girls are two contradictory moods that I can't quite place. It seems like subdued 70's celebrity Italian glam at it's peak and blogger ready.

Guc + ci = Handsomely Sparkling Ladies for Milan Fashion Week Spring 2012

My glittering fantasies that were awoken this season, first with the Marchesa collection and then tickled with the Giles collection, were fully realized with the second half of the Gucci Spring 2012 runway show. Frida Giannini made me get giddy with anticipation for all of the editorials to come using these sparkling ensembles. 

I am in LOVE with Abbey Lee Kershaw and this photo just about sums up how beautiful her face is. The makeup is vampy and over-done but heh what isn't in the fashion world? 

 As Gertrude Stein puts in her Tender Buttons, "certainly glittering is handsome and convincing".
