Diane von Furstenberg – Fall 2012 RTW
One of my most highly anticipated runway shows is Diane von Furstenberg, and this season I was incredibly impressed. Always finding inspiration from wildly imaginative places or from concepts that provoke thought, this season her Fall 2012 collection didn’t disappoint in its origin as it was described as "a meeting with suspense and expectation"
With beautifully shaped necklines that flatter and reveal just enough femininity, along with oversized sunglasses and below-the-knee pencil skirts, as well as beautifully draped blouses and dresses, her collection piqued curiosity, but also maintained a sense of respectful decor. Have a look.

With her uber-successful sophomore album 21, cleaning up at the Grammy’s this past Sunday night (six awards) and being known solely by her first name around the world, Adele (Adele Adkins) now can add another feather to her cap – the cover of Anna Wintour’s Vogue. With sultry liquid lined eyes, windblown hair and a seductive dose of cleavage, the 23-year-old more than shines on the March 2012 cover which hits the newsstands February 21st.
