J'adore Dior.....But Really!?

I know I am not the most fashion forward person, and if you know me I tend to lean more towards that conservative, classic types of fashion when I actually try. I definitely lean more towards the comfortable, flip flops, or boat shoes end of the spectrum rather than the 7-inch platform pump end. But, I do love me some Vogue and InStyle. I always wish I was the type of person that could pull of some of the amazing styles featured in them - maybe someday, another time, another place.


One trend that I saw in both my March Vogue and March InStyle that I most definitely don’t understand is the new trend of socks with sandals. I’m sorry, but is it Tacky Canadian Tourist month in all the fashion magazines? I don’t get it – can someone enlighten me?

Both Dior and Marni had them in their Spring 2010 collections and seriously, like I said, I don't get it. Don't get me wrong, I simply adore Dior, but really!?

Little Hermione Granger Is All Grown Up

Maybe it’s just me, but I have been very impressed with the Burberry ads featuring Emma Watson.


I must admit, I have never been a fan of Burberry, it always seemed very old lady-ish to me. I can remember going shopping with my friends in high school and walking into the Burberry store and quickly walking out because it never had anything good, we would then walk quickly to the Coach store next door and be in heaven.

The past few months the Burberry ads have been my all time favorite collection of ads to look at in Vogue. To be honest, they are one of the things I look forward to in my monthly Vogue’s. Maybe it’s my undying love for anything Harry Potter (yes, I am so one of those geeks) that always makes it stand out but I just love it. Seeing little Hermione Granger all grown up just makes me so happy.

I can't say that I will be going out and purchasing an abundant amount of Burberry anytime soon, but I will definitly be more open-minded the next time I do go into one of their stores.

The first six pictures are from the Spring 2010 Burberry Collection, and the first picture is the one I found in my Vogue this month. The bottom three are from the Fall 2009 Burberry Collection. LOVE them all!
