Balmain Resort 2012

Olivier Rousteing's first try after Christophe Decarnin's departure at Balmain is a smash success if you ask me. The bootcut pants, the colors, the prints, the couture-like embroidery ... I'm in love with it. And like Nicole Phelps at style.com says it: "Like his predecessor, he cuts a mean jacket."

LOVE her and her style!

A fresh face free of makeup, tousled Parisian hair, Chanel and Balmain. Perfect.

I'm done with my first week of university, it's been so busy! That's why I haven't been posting a whole lot. It's not always going to be like this, I love blogging too much to stop because of college. Talk to you soon!

PS: Anna rocks Balmain.

Balmain Boots

Balmain is making the one it-shoe after the other! After the studded sandals here come the zipped rock chick boots. Here shown with an amazing Hervé Léger bandage dress and a satin Bottega Veneta clutch.

Balmain

Maison Balmain was founded by the French Piere Balmain in 1942. After his death in 1982 the famous couture designer Oscar de la Renta took over but quitted in 2001. Balmain was known for its luxurious and classic look. Today, le maison is led by Christophe Decarnin, who has a more modern and edgier vision, clearly. The teared jeans, the jacket, the shoes; I think it's a perfect look. It's raw but feminine and sexy. The it-shoes of the season are available for 1700$ at www.net-a-porter.com .
