Lacroix, sweetie!

I have been knitting like crazy lately. I am thinking it's more about the color and feel of the yarn , not the act itself that has gotten me crazy . I just finished a scarf that is all granny-squares done in oranges, fuchsias, gold and pinks. I saw a scarf like this a few times on Japanese websites. Now I'm thinking SOCKS. I've made socks before, and I love the few pairs I have left.
There are so mnay cool self-striping yarns now, and socks are a quick payoff item.
I'm still trying to find a bottle of Mystere by Rochas. They are either non-existent, or extremely expensive. I'ts funny, because a few months ago you could find it everywhere on the web, and it was in stock. In fact, I bought a bottle of Madame Rochas instead. (I love that too!!!)

The other thing I'm crazy about now is red lipstick. In the past, I never wore it because I thought it was clownish, and I could never find the right shade of red.I just came across this great line of organic lipstick called PRIMATIVE. there are only about 8 colors in this line and all they sell is lipstick, but the colors are really wearable and nice.

I just said I was into color lately, but on my face I have just been wearing a bit of concealer translucent powder to matte my face, mascara ( of course....gotta cover up the white lashes....)

and red lipstick. I add liner pencil if I feel like it. It has been very freeing not to have to"paint" my face every day. I may have to add some highlighter or bronzer depending on how pale I get in the colder weather.

Oh Project Runway.... The finale was a bit disappointing. Leanne seems so "one-note" to me.

I looked at the designers collections at Bryant Park during fashion week and I had to admit that I loved Kenley's the best. Yeah, she's a little brat, but she is creative. Everywhere I read on the net people are praising Leanne. I think people are afraid to like Kenley for some reason!

We all know people who are anal-retentive control freaks, right?

My lust for color has rekindled an interest in Christian Lacroix. He is sooooo over the top, but there's something to be said for his garishness. He sticks to his vision.

I was looking at the shows of all the designers for spring 09' and when I came across his, I was immediately drawn to the colors. I think we are in store for more of this type of fashion as times get tougher financially, people want more fantasy.

I was shocked by Vivienne Westwood's collection, however...

Most of her stuff looked like she just threw bolts of fabric over the model's shoulders and put a few tacks in the fabric. Very Bedsheet-Toga.

Jerry just called and I'm meeting him for dinner.

Cheers!
