Paris. Fashion. Week. Need we say more?

Glitzy, Glamorous + down right magical!

Speaking of magical, Chanel took us into another world filled with crystals upon crystals ... upon er, crystals!  Chanel is known for their use of tweed + classic suits, so we weren't surprised to find tailored, cropped skinny pants (and fancy pants at that!) + feminine, yet edgy silhouettes.  Crystal inspiration played a large roll + not only as a back drop.  Sparkled sheers + basic coats with dramatic shapes + colors made their way down the runway, as well as, glitter encrusted eyebrows! Hm, we have a strange feeling these glittery caterpillar brows will only fly in Chanel's Crystal Wonderland, but hey! we'll test the waters + let you know!    

... and then there was this bundle of cuteness!

Valentino Fall 2012 stole our little Field Note-filled hearts + ran!

From the black leather cape to the perfectly detailed coats, the start to this Collection was classic + edgy.

Oh, but it didn't end there, no sir!   The edgy-looks made their way into soft, feminine + flowy silhouettes that were enough to make our hearts skip a strut.  Then there was the bright red, modern jumpsuit ... GASP!  

Let's just note that chic, contemporary jumpsuits are in for Fall!

Don't worry - you aren't seeing triple...we just couldn't get over the amazing variety in Elie Saab's F/W 2012 collection at Paris Fashion week! His sleek black looks jump started the show and made us crave a European city street to sport these looks. Once we thought we'd never wear anything but black ever again, he switched things up with a set of tailored + ultra feminine neutrals which, again, we couldn't resist (now we have to find another European street to wear these...). His show wrapped up with amazing evening wear dripping with luxurious autumn-inspired textures and patterns (you know how we feel about textures + patterns!).
