Rachel Roy, Fall 2011

Women are usually very particular about their hair, however on the other hand, this is one look I'm eager to experiment with this year. These beautiful braids will look perfect accompanied by a lovely weekend trip to the lake...

uptown.downtown...

It's amazing that in the 'fashion world' renowned designers are already showcasing their pre-fall 2010 collections. After previewing a few, I must say that Rachel Roy's collection is the far most impressive in my opinion. Exhibiting clean lines, mute yet elegant tones and the mix of drapery & military details...this collection is refined and perfect for the uptown/downtown woman.
Another aspect that blew me away, was just how refreshing yet retro inspired each individual look came across...call this a coincidence however I think she definitely got it right!
