I have been impressed with a few more shows this fashion week (like Doo.Ri, Jeremy Laing, 3.1 Phillp Lim, and Marc by Marc) but I was especially struck by the accessories by Lizzie Fortunato in the VPL show.
I also really loved the stained glass necklaces in the 3.1 Phillip Lim show. Not sure who designed them though.
Some shoes on Ebay I decided not to bid on..
So far this SS09 fashion week Marc Jacobs is the only collection that has captured my attention for more that a split second. He presented a lovely collection combining metallics, plaids, stripes,and solids- which could have been a mish-mash disaster, but was quite successfully executed. It was very fun, and was much more visually interesting than his last few collections. There are some beautiful woven metallic patterns which I loved (see the detail shots). I felt that the only weakness in the collection were the shoes.

My dear friend Kim made these for me as an early birthday present. I love them! They’re floursack towels that have been embroidered (by her) with the likenesses of my husband and me. I hung them in my kitchen window as a sort of valance. Thanks again Kim.
I found these placemats the other day (a set of 100- still in plastic) at my favourite thrift store, but didn’t buy, as I was feeling cheap… I went back today and they were still there! I took it as a sign. If anyone is interested in buying any, email me and I can list them on Etsy. Otherwise they’ll be fun to wrap little presents with. Even though I said I’m sick to death of woodland creatures, I was charmed by the faux crosstitch on these…
